Would be interesting if you could filter to include / exclude similar sounding names / syllables. When we had our kid, I had to come up with names and my wife would try to "break them"(think of every way in which some "mean kids" might twist the name to something else).

For e.g. when I suggested Dakshith which is a very popular name in India, she countered "Do you really want other kids to call him "shi*?"

I would love to be able to filter by number of syllables. Probably not a trivial thing though

Love the app, seems nicely functional - as feedback/bug report?, it doesn't look like the "Sex" filter works, at least not for the "Explore" mode.

Yea I purposefully made the explore mode keep al the names. Next release I’ll make sure to add a toggle on whether to apply the filters or not because in hindsight this is confusing.
