Overview
Baby Name Discovery is an interactive web application designed to help parents, families, and curious visitors explore baby names from around the world. Rather than scrolling through endless static tables, names are presented in a playful Polaroid-style gallery that highlights the personality and meaning behind each name.
Each Polaroid card displays a name alongside three associated character traits or meanings, softly tinted in blue for boy names and pink for girl names.
