How to use the comparison (without starting a bigger argument)
UK survey data says a fifth of parents who regret a name regret it because they gave in to pressure. The comparison tool won't pick your baby's name — but it moves the conversation from "I just prefer it" to specifics you can both look at: whose pick flows better with the surname, which one carries a rhyme or initials risk, and how each sounds read aloud.
A tip from how couples actually use it: run both names with the middle name each of you would pair with it, using the full checker. Sometimes the losing first name wins as a middle name — and that compromise names more babies than any argument does.
The scores are close? Then the honest verdict is that both names work, and the tie-breaker should be the one you'll never find on a website: which name you can't stop saying.
