I charge up to $30k to name other people’s babies – I’m still shocked by some of the choices
THESE days, people will pay for anything, including a service that helps them choose a baby name.
In fact, one woman turned her passion for understanding the meaning behind baby names into a full-time job that can make her up to $30K a name.
"I found there was a very high engagement considering how few followers I had," she told The Sun in an exclusive interview.
"When I began posting on Instagram, people were coming to me about their love for names.
"I was always a name nerd, so I was very surprised there were a lot of us."

From just sharing her favorite names, she then moved on to sharing the numerology behind them and lists of names.
Name numerology is based on understanding the unique qualities found in an analysis of your names.
"The name numerology within your name represents mental patterns of thought which stimulate your qualities of intelligence in particular ways," according to .
It was in these last two types of research that people began reaching out to her as an expert.
"People were messaging me and asking me what they should name their babies," she revealed.
"I think there was something about seeing the lists and people would see their names and they would think that I could help them find names for their children that could go with the ones of the other kids they had.
"It was at that point when people were writing to me all the time. I was just so flattered and I was giving out the advice for free," she added.
A BUSINESS WAS BORN
But it wasn't until 2018, when Humphrey, who was studying to become a childbirth doula, knew that helping women with the baby naming process would be the way she could support them through this major life change.
"Early on, my clients were a lot of first-generation Americans or they had immigrated here so their children were going to be first-gen and they wanted names that would honor their heritage while also their new start in America," she explained.
"They would need outside help. I find that the process of pregnancy in the modern age is that women are working up to a week before their due date so they’re not completely in tune with their bodies and there’s a lack of emotional attachment, especially the ones who have multiple babies. They’re just too busy.
THE THOUSAND DOLLAR QUESTION
Because Humphrey's services in helping expectant parents pick a name for their child are limitless, it can come at quite a price.
In fact, she revealed that her services start at $1,500, and depending on the scope of the job, they can go up to $30K.
"I will take up to three clients a month at a lower price point," she clarified, adding that she wants to support the women who need guidance and offer accessibility depending on financial needs.
But not all of her services come at a price. People can get inspiration for baby names off her Instagram account, which is free, as well as quizzes on her website, and videos on TikTok.

People might even get name suggestions in videos on Instagram and TikTok Lives.
"Ultimately, what it comes down to, is me guiding parents to find the perfect name for their children, and that's what makes me happy," she concluded.
