Baby name suggestions
I honestly really enjoy this app save for one aspect. Under the “baby names” section you have listed all countries individually, except for the category “African names”. I find this incredibly insulting as a “half African and half European” person myself. Just as I wouldn’t be able to put Finnish names and Spanish names in the same category and be happy to describe them as “European names” it is insulting that no one on your team has made an effort to sort names from different countries in Africa, or even regions, but once again Africa is not awarded the same form of respect that other continents receive?
Africa is not a single country, it is a continent consisting of 54 countries. I understand that you may not be able to create 54 different categories but surely you should be able to distinguish e.g. Nigerian names from South African.
This is a big deal for people with African heritage, just as I imagine it is for people from other continents.
