India Oct 01, 2025

Taylor A. Humphrey, 37, from San Francisco, has made a career out of helping parents pick baby names—sometimes charging as much as ₹27 lakh for her expertise.
What started as posting name ideas online a decade ago has grown into a business where she uses detailed questionnaires and spreadsheets to suggest the perfect name.

Humphrey's offerings range from basic email advice to 'VIP treatment'

Humphrey's offerings range from basic email advice at ₹17,700 to full-on "VIP treatment" starting at ₹9 lakh.
Her clients range from wealthy anonymous couples to well-known celebrities, even diving into family history or "name aesthetics."
Despite some criticism over her fees, she stands by the value of her work and now has a long waiting list after getting featured in The New Yorker back in 2021.
