Let your baby choose his name

accreditation
Kick to Pick is an iPhone app that lets your unborn kid have some say in the name that s/he is going to wearing for the rest of their lives.

The app works by generating thousands of names while monitoring your bump and when there is any movement or activity and stop the generator at the tot's choice. The parents are then free to accept or dismiss the choice. It doesn't take all the baby name choosing power out of the parents hands though. Expectant parents can make lists of their favourite names and then let the little one choose from those.

The idea for the app came from a light hearted discussion about "baby's choices and the fact they had no influence over the name they go onto keep for the rest of their lives", says creator Nathan Parks. Also, if your kid gets a weird name at least you can say it was their choice.

For a step-by-step guide on using the Kick to Pick app simply search for Kick To Pick on Apple's App Store.
