The shortlist breaker
Every expecting couple hits the same wall: a shortlist that won't get shorter. The baby name wheel won't legally name your child (probably wise), but it's a brilliant way to explore how names feel. Spin, hear the name announced by fate, and watch your own reaction — that flicker of "oh no" or "oh, actually…" tells you more than another week of debating.
How couples actually use it
The gut-check game: load your shortlist, spin, and both partners say their honest first reaction before discussing. The veto round: spin repeatedly with elimination mode on — each partner may veto one removal per round; the last name standing earns a serious conversation. The middle-name matcher: lock the first name, load middle-name candidates, and spin for combinations.
Weight the odds (quietly)
Secretly convinced it should be Luna? Type 3,Luna and the wheel triples her odds. We won't tell your partner. (The fair thing is to agree on weights together — the fun thing is not to.)
