A San Francisco-based consultant turned her passion for baby names into a luxury business, charging up to $30,000 (approximately BD11,300) to help wealthy parents name their babies.
Taylor Humphrey started her baby naming business under @whatsinababyname online about a decade ago and now has over 100,000 followers on TikTok and Instagram.
Humphrey, with her expertise in branding, marketing, and doula training, has helped parents choose names for more than 500 children.
She offers services starting at $200 for an email list of personalised name suggestions and goes up to $30,000 for exclusive packages that include things like genealogical research, baby name branding, and even consultations with think tanks, according to the New York Post.
She helps parents, ranging from anonymously wealthy to high-profile celebrities, pick unique names for their children based on an extensive questionnaire that aims to understand their personalities, interests, and likes and dislikes.
According to the baby name consultant, the job involves more than just picking names, often acting as a therapist or mediator during consultations.
Humphrey says she faces criticism online, with people calling her services frivolous and silly.
"It's a little embarrassing when you get made fun of on the internet," she told the New York Post. "But at the same time, I'm like, 'Well, it is silly.' I come up with baby names for a living."
