Fact of the Day: Would you pay $46,000 for the perfect baby name?​

Once upon a time, baby names came from grandparents or the Bible—not a consultant with a spreadsheet. But now? Some parents are paying nearly $46,000 AUD for a woman in San Francisco, USA, to dream up their child’s perfect name.

Taylor A. Humphrey, 37, isn’t flipping through baby books—she’s running a boutique naming agency in San Francisco, USA. Clients fill out long questionnaires, spill their family histories, and even talk about the kind of life they want their baby to lead.

Humphrey then dives into spreadsheets, numerology, and cultural meanings to create names that feel 'destined'. Her services start at $305 for a quick brainstorm, but the luxury 'VIP naming experience' can hit $46,000. Turns out, in the age of personal branding, even a baby’s first word might just be 'strategy'.

Whatever. The only thing is with boys is their surname doesn't change, so you need to come up with a name that is okay with the surname.
