Baby Name Voting
Guests tap to vote for their favorite names from your shortlist, parents hold one veto to remove a name anytime, and the top names land on a podium. Fun, advisory, offline.

How to play
- Type your baby name shortlist, one name per line, and tap Start Voting.
- Pass the screen around and let guests tap a name's card to cast one vote for it.
- Tap the small veto mark on a card to permanently remove a name from the running.
- Tap Reveal Podium to rank every remaining name by votes, with the top pick celebrated.
Baby Name Voting turns your shortlist into a fun, crowd-sourced poll for a baby shower or family gathering, purely for entertainment since the final call is always yours. Type in every name you're considering and hand the screen around; guests simply tap a name to cast one vote, and the live vote count updates instantly under each card so the room can watch a favorite pull ahead. If a name gets a hard no from a parent, one tap on the small veto mark removes it permanently from the running, even if guests already voted for it, and no more votes can land on it afterward. When voting winds down, tap Reveal Podium to rank every name that wasn't vetoed by vote count, complete with a small celebration for the crowd favorite. It is playful advisory data, not a binding decision — the podium just tells you what the room loved most.
Frequently asked questions
- Can guests vote for the same name more than once?
- Yes, every tap on a name counts as one more vote with no limit, so a name can rack up many votes if it's a clear favorite in the room; nothing debounces or merges rapid taps.
- What does the veto actually do?
- Vetoing a name removes it permanently from voting for the rest of the session; it can no longer receive votes and it is automatically excluded from the final podium, even if it already had votes.
- Is this a real, binding way to choose the baby's name?
- No, it's meant purely as a fun, advisory activity for a shower or gathering — the podium simply shows which shortlisted names the group liked best, and the final decision is always up to the parents.
