Unique Girl and Boy Names

I'm Sam, a dad who wanted a simple way to get one fresh name idea texted to me each day while we were picking a name for my own kid. Nothing like that existed, so I built Daily Namer.

A lot of parents want something a little different, a name their child won't share with three classmates, but that still feels like a real name.
