How to use the comparison (without starting a bigger argument)
In one large parenting survey, 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.
