Bees, I need your help. I remember a website I used extensively when I was pregnant with DD. They had this awesome tool where you could click on a name you liked and it would generate a "cloud", with that name in a circle in the center and other similar names around it. You could navigate this cloud by clicking on any of the surrounding names, which would bring that one to the center and regenerate the surrounding names based on similarity to that one. Does anyone know what site I'm talking about? I can't find it for the life of me! It's not nameberry and I don't think it's babynamewizard - unless it's a pay feature and I just need to upgrade?

Is it nymbler?

@Chastenet: Nameberry! (Edit - I see you say it's not Nameberry...nevermind...
) But, that's how we found my daughter's name by searching names like Emily. They show this at the bottom of each name that you search:People who liked Emma also like:
Amelia, Anna, Rebecca, Isabella, Ella, Claire, Grace, Olivia, Sophia, Henry, Oliver -
That sounds super familiar, but I'm not finding it (at least the cloud version). Perhaps they just did away with that feature? I really think it was one of the bigger sites.
eta: Wasn't it a mapping type feature, where you could click on a name and then continue clicking and mapping further?

@MrsKoala: It's not nymbler although it is close. This site had an actual cloud, the names were all in bubbles and connected with lines and you could navigate through the cloud, clicking on different names.
@rawrasaur: I fear you may be right and they got rid of the feature- but it was so good!!! -
If you click on the "related" tab on babycenter they have names organized like that except it's in boxes...
ETA Never mind it's not related names it's "baby name explorer."

@googly-eyes: Ahh, that is what I was thinking of! I guess since they hid it behind the tab I didn't find it, because I did look there too!
@Chastenet: Is that what you were talking about?
-
@googly-eyes: Thank you so much! This is it!!! I wonder if they bought the feature from another site, I do not remember it being on baby center before - I was convinced it was a name-specific site. In any case, thanks for your help!!!
@rawrasaur: Yaaaay! that's it -
@Chastenet: Oh wow! I tried it with dd's name and didn't think the names it brought up were that similar but I'm glad it turned out to be helpful!!
