Who knew that naming babies will actually turn out to be quite an amazing and well-paid profession?
Taylor A. Humpfrey is a New-York based professional baby namer.
Humphrey gets paid over PKR 3.2 lakhs by expecting parents to choose their child’s name. Parents can choose from Humphrey’s services, which start at $1,500 and can go as far as $ 10,000.
“If you look at the most popular baby names, it’s such a telltale sign of our cultural values and our aspirations,” shared Taylor Humphrey.
She claims that naming a baby isn’t as easy as people think it to be and that there is much more involved in the process.
Her career as a professional baby namer dates back to 2015 when she created her Instagram account “What’s in a Baby Name.”
Humphrey says she was just “looking for a way to share my love of baby names,” but the account eventually blossomed into a full-fledged business, she explained in a recent post.
Now her Instagram videos include helpful meditations on name regret and when to start thinking about names, as well as answers to more specific queries, like the “Top 5 Boys Names to go with Calliope.”
She also works as a doula and offers Reiki sessions.
“While it’s easy to say that I name people’s babies for a living, my work is so much deeper and more nuanced than that,” she told PEOPLE.
“My job is to hold space, and provide spiritual, emotional, and physical support for my clients as they progress through the major life transition of becoming a parent.”
“While I offer name expertise, my work centres on supporting the expectant parent and leading them back to their inner place of wisdom and intuition,” she adds.
“I have built my business on the premise that parents already know the right answer; sometimes they just need a bit of guidance to remember and access the knowledge that already exists inside of them.”
She wants to work with Britney Spears and Elon Musk one day. Stay tuned to WOW360.
