One of the sites I've built in the last couple of years is ZeeVanNamen.nl (in Dutch). It helps soon-to-be-parents with finding a name for their baby. At the time it scratched my own itch, and currently the site is not doing bad at all.<p>Right from the start I had an English version of it as well, called ValleyOfNames.com. It's the same app, but with a different set of names (obviously).<p>But even though I have done more or less the same things for both websites to make them known to people, ValleyOfNames.com is lacking far behind in terms of traffic.<p>So, have I built the wrong app for English speaking persons or is something else amiss?<p>Thanks for your feedback!
The domain name is not explicit enough. Something like anameformybaby would be more explicit.<p>The site is ok, though I don't understand the need to create an account.<p>Maybe it's just a visibility problem. Find forums with related topics or baby related shops and ask to add a link to your site. Blogs is even better.
1. Couple of typos (first lettter)<p>2. Categorize/tag names. People will tend to choose names matching their country/religion/culture. Example: Jewish, Muslim, English, Dutch etc.<p>3. Famous people with this name, maybe with a little bio ("Angelina" : "Angelina Jolie")
