Baby Names
The most intelligent Islamic baby name finder — AI-powered search across thousands of verified names with Arabic script, meanings, and Quranic references.
Overview
Every name. Every meaning. Chosen for your family.
Baby Names is a mobile app that helps Muslim parents find the perfect name for their baby — not by scrolling through endless lists, but through intelligent, personalised discovery. The app combines a curated library of thousands of verified Islamic names with AI-powered search and family voting tools, making the naming process meaningful, personal and shared.
Built as part of the Apposite Labs mobile portfolio, it demonstrates how AI can be applied to a deeply personal decision — delivering culturally authentic results that feel tailored to each family.
The problem
Finding the right name is harder than it should be.
Most baby name apps treat Islamic names as a category filter. Parents are left with generic lists, no meaningful context, and no way to involve the people who matter.
Key features
Everything the app does.
AI-Powered Discovery
Describe what you're looking for in plain language — "a rare Quranic girl name meaning light" — and the app finds it. No rigid filters, no keyword matching. It understands meaning, theme, origin and cultural feel.
Verified Name Library
Thousands of verified names — each with Arabic script, phonetic pronunciation, full meaning and etymology, Islamic significance with Quranic and Hadith references where applicable, and origin and rarity information.
Name Vote
Invite your partner, family or anyone who matters into a shared vote. Each person saves their favourites independently. When everyone agrees on the same name — the app celebrates it together.
Heritage Filtering
Filter by community tradition — Arab world, South Asian, Turkish and Balkan, Persian, Southeast Asian, or Western. All names remain authentically Islamic regardless of heritage filter.
Browse by Category
Explore the 99 Names of Allah, Names of the Prophets, Quranic names, Prophetic tradition, or let the AI pick for your family profile specifically.
Built for Sharing
Every name card can be shared directly — Arabic script, phonetic, meaning and significance included. Name Vote generates invite links and QR codes for family sharing.
Design philosophy
A name is one of the greatest gifts you give your child.
The app is designed around that weight. Every interaction is calm, considered and beautiful — not gamified, not rushed. The experience prioritises:
- — Instant access to results that actually match your family
- — Authenticity you can trust
- — A shared experience, not a solo one
- — A result worth remembering
The core flow is three steps:
- 01 Set your family profile
- 02 Discover names with meaning
- 03 Decide together
