Built this tool after my wife and I found ourselves wishing for something like it while pregnant with our first baby. Type in a name, and you'll find others that sound similar.
Really interested in hearing thoughts/feedback from the community... Also interested in how the site holds up under load.
Thanks!
nice tool, bookmarked.
Nice! What's the thought process behind the recommendation? Are you using spelling similarities, or something like that?
I actually used a tool from CMU (link below) to convert the names to their pronunciations, represented as a series of phonemes or sounds. I then simply compare the similarities in the sound representation of the different names. It's an extremely simple algorithm, but it works pretty well.
