Naming the Baby & Counting the Days: A Name Generator + Birthday Tracker

Published 21 July 2026 · 3 min read · by Chalplex

A baby name generator app is usually the first thing new or expecting parents open, and a birthday tracker is usually one of the last things they set up — months later, once the name's chosen and there's an actual birthday to remember every year. I built one app for each end of that timeline.

Baby Names and How Old Am I don't talk to each other, but used back to back they cover the whole arc: picking the name, then never forgetting the date that follows it.

A Baby Name Generator App That Asks the Questions for You

Scrolling an alphabetical list of a thousand names is exhausting; answering a handful of questions about what you actually want is a faster way in.

Baby Names finds names by asking a few playful questions instead of handing over an endless list, and generates personalised, meaning-rich suggestions in English on-device — nothing about the search leaves the phone. It's free to download, with optional Magic Coins if you want extra generations. It's built for exactly the browsing-for-fun stage of naming a child, not a formal registry tool.

Tracking the Birthday Once the Name's Chosen

Once a name exists, so does a birthday, and that's a date worth not forgetting — for the new arrival and everyone else in the family too.

How Old Am I tells you exactly how old someone is, calculates the age between any two dates, and tracks the birthdays of friends and family with a 9 AM notification so you're not caught out. It's free with ads, and a one-time $1.99 purchase unlocks Pro: unlimited tracked people and no ads. It works just as well for a newborn as for the rest of the family you're already keeping track of.

I build both of these apps. Start with Baby Names if you're still deciding, and set up How Old Am I once the birth certificate is signed — the 9 AM reminders are the kind of small thing you'll be glad exists by the second birthday.
