Haha, I guess this is what every programmer does when they have a kid. I wrote an ELO ranking program when I had my first kid: https://github.com/cortesoft/BabyNamer
Give it a list of names, it presents pairs of names to voters who choose which they prefer of the two. Allows many people to work together to narrow down a name choice.
I took the site down after a while because I didn't want to keep paying for it after both my kids were born.
It worked ok, although the app basically just confirmed that we had clear favorites for our names.
I did something similar, although it was a Windows desktop app.
Finding and picking names was easy. My wife and I found it hard to rank them so the app (like yours) showed two names (drawn from her list, my list and top 200 popular names) and you'd make a gut choice of favorite. After a few dozen rounds, clear winners would emerge. We could see the top 10 from each of our lists and easily spot overlaps.
Since, I've used the same code to decide on vacation destinations and even what house to buy. It avoided a lot of marital disputes, for sure.
