It seems like you could get at least a little monetization by combining it with a domain registration affiliate program.
The BabyNameCheck could also link to name popularity data to find names that aren't too common but also not too rare. Monetize with Amazon links to baby products.

Good ideas! Does someone want to take this site off my hands and try these?

Similar case for me. I spent a long time on this but never followed through with marketing. It's a web app for English language learners:

just looked: toto. nice two bad meanings, still it means vagina in Dominican Republic.
totto is different in written form, but phonetically it's the same
I made this last year, but failed to build on the initial audience... There's no revenue, so any offer will be considered.
The site was launched in August 2015 and got 79,000 pageviews in its first month. It also got some media attention which has given the site quite good search engine ranking: it is a top-3 Google result for most of the relevant keywords and search phrases.
I can also throw in the domain BabyNameCheck.com. There's no site there currently, but you could easily reuse the word check back-end from WordSafety... Just make a new baby-themed design and it could be a site that any parent would want to check out when trying to decide a name.
(Edit: Please don't post word suggestions in comments - there's a form for that on the site :))
