This career definitely 35 00:01:44,989 --> 00:01:48,629 Speaker 4: chose me. I always had an interest in baby names. 36 00:01:48,829 --> 00:01:51,469 Speaker 4: I was reading baby name books since the time I 37 00:01:51,509 --> 00:01:55,549 Speaker 4: could learn to read and write, and I started writing 38 00:01:55,589 --> 00:02:00,029 Speaker 4: about names on Instagram back in twenty fifteen. The more 39 00:02:00,069 --> 00:02:03,789 Speaker 4: that I would post about the numerology of the names, 40 00:02:03,829 --> 00:02:07,949 Speaker 4: the personality traits of certain names, the more parents started 41 00:02:08,228 --> 00:02:10,428 Speaker 4: writing to me and saying, well, what should I name 42 00:02:10,508 --> 00:02:13,949 Speaker 4: my baby? I had no idea that this is something 43 00:02:14,029 --> 00:02:18,229 Speaker 4: that parents really struggled with, So I decided to create 44 00:02:18,269 --> 00:02:22,269 Speaker 4: a process around helping them, you know, get that perfect 45 00:02:22,349 --> 00:02:24,549 Speaker 4: name and get it signed on the birth certificate. 46 00:02:24,869 --> 00:02:26,909 Speaker 2: So what's the process? Tail? 47 00:02:27,269 --> 00:02:31,429 Speaker 4: Generally, every package starts with an in depth questionnaire. I 48 00:02:31,469 --> 00:02:33,508 Speaker 4: want to get to know the families as well as 49 00:02:33,549 --> 00:02:36,749 Speaker 4: I can offer as much support I can at you know, 50 00:02:36,829 --> 00:02:40,909 Speaker 4: the various tiered prices. So for some families, it is 51 00:02:40,989 --> 00:02:43,429 Speaker 4: just starting with that initial questionnaire and then I'm just 52 00:02:43,469 --> 00:02:46,629 Speaker 4: giving a little bit of feedback, just helping them again 53 00:02:46,709 --> 00:02:50,109 Speaker 4: to narrow down their lists. Offering a little bit of 54 00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:54,229 Speaker 4: insight into popularity and spelling is a big one, like 55 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:56,429 Speaker 4: should we go with a really popular spelling, do we 56 00:02:56,469 --> 00:03:00,429 Speaker 4: go with a less popular spelling elongated name? Do we 57 00:03:00,469 --> 00:03:03,788 Speaker 4: go with the nickname? So for that it's just helping 58 00:03:03,829 --> 00:03:06,309 Speaker 4: them kind of hone in on it. It ranges all 59 00:03:06,349 --> 00:03:09,229 Speaker 4: the way up into like a much more areas like 60 00:03:09,389 --> 00:03:14,149 Speaker 4: ongoing process, we're working together, maybe we're working together in person. 61 00:03:14,789 --> 00:03:17,109 Speaker 4: I'm getting to know them on a much deeper level, 62 00:03:17,309 --> 00:03:20,589 Speaker 4: and so it's more kind of like doula support.
