We've known for a while that technology buffs are popping up at younger and younger ages, but an iPhone app designed for unborn babies is a whole new concept. Kick to Pick is a 99 cent iPhone app meant to let your still-developing child pick its own name before making his or her debut.
To use the app you must first place your smartphone on a baby bump, preferably when the young one is feeling rambunctious. As the app scrolls through a list of baby names, it detects the slightest kicks using the iPhone's internal accelerometers. A kick monitor is displayed on the screen and will inform you when a kick is detected. Small to medium kicks will not count as "picks," but larger movements will, stopping the name scroll and showing you what the unborn baby has chosen.
There are thousands of names included, but if you'd like to limit your youngster's choice to more modern names — and prevent monikers like "Almond Algernon" from popping up — you can customize the list to your liking. The app is just a buck on the iTunes App Store, but whether it will spark a revolution of near-random baby naming — as opposed to just going with whatever the Twilight movies offer — remains to be seen.
