Hatch

I'm Italian, my wife is American. While expecting our first kid, we found ourselves facing the typical dilemma of "what are we going to call our child"

If it were up to me, I would have waited two or three weeks after the birth before picking a name—see what the kid looks like, get to know them first. But apparently they don't let you walk out of the hospital without one. (Side note: I can't imagine they physically prevent you from leaving, but I decided not to stress test this.)

So I made Hatch, a full-stack web and native app that works like Tinder but for names. I swipe right on names I like, she swipes right on names she likes, and if we match (or partially match—something similar) we get to see it. There are also a few other nice features: details about names, associated nicknames, similar names, famous people, et cetera.
