“You’re a ‘baby name expert’? What is there to be expert about?” More than you might imagine. Names are rich signals that carry a world of information about time, place, identity and culture.
Why you might need a name consultant:
- You’re looking for baby name ideas to fit a tricky set of style or culture constraints.
- You’re looking for a set of character names to suggest a historical setting or highlight character traits.
- You’re renaming yourself and want understand the ways different names will come across.
- You’re conducting research where personal names are a variable and want to avoid confounds.
- You’re selecting a set of personal names to use in a product or advertising campaign and want to hit the right targets.
Why you might NOT need a name consultant:
- Your dilemma concerns names, but it’s not really about names—there’s a deeper issue. Before paying a name expert, ask yourself “Would finding the perfect name actually fix this?”
- You just have a question about names. If so, feel free to ask me!
