Rich people will spend money on ANYTHING, that's why those upscale markets will charge $5.00 for a single tomato. So this isn't surprising:
There's a 33-year-old woman in New York named Taylor Humphrey who calls herself a "professional baby namer", and she charges up to $10,000 just to name your baby.
Taylor doesn't have any kids herself, she describes herself as a "passionate writer and storyteller," who is "adept at branding, marketing, and social media." She has also worked as a matchmaker in the past, but she's been working in the baby-naming business since 2015.
She has a range of fees. If you just want to call her and ask for a name, that may "only" cost around $1,500. But if you want her to get to know your family and look through genealogies, that's closer to her $10K premium price.
