Abstract

During the exhausting search for a given name for the yet unborn baby, the idea of a name recommendation system based on relations mined from the "social web" was born. This demonstration paper presents the Nameling, a recommendation system, search engine and academic research platform for given names, which attracted more than 30,000 users within four months, underpinning the relevance of the task and associated research questions.
