How can you be sure the name you choose for your child is good? There are experts for that.
Humphrey, who is thirty-three, has been obsessed with baby names for most of her life. As a child, she pored over baby-name books that her mother got for her from the library. When she graduated from N.Y.U., she tried other careers, including screenwriting. “The most exciting part of that entire venture was picking out the names of the characters,” she said. Other gigs: matchmaking, digital marketing, fund-raising, investor relations, event planning.
Paying clients get more personalized treatment. She recently suggested the name Parks to a couple who told her that they had had their first kiss in a town called Parker and wanted something avant-garde. A client who was Lebanese and French reached out from the hospital with an emergency request. She would be raising her child in America and needed a name that worked across all three cultures. Humphrey quickly e-mailed a list of fifty names. The client chose her top recommendation: Chloe.
To find names, she mines film credits, observes street signs, and studies trends. One good source is the Social Security database, which reveals the quick decline of disaster names and names taken over by brands. “I don’t think Delta is going to be out for a long time,” she said. “Unlike Siri and Alexa.”
