Baby Name Advice from the Experts

Your baby's name is the decision of a lifetime. At Nameberry, you can hire the world's leading experts to help you find the perfect name.

Our name consulting packages range from personalized advice on a shortlist of names, to tailored name recommendations selected by our experts, to a private name concierge service to help you make the very best decision for a lifetime.

We work with parents searching for the right baby name for their newborn, adults looking for a new name for themselves, and even people in search of names for their yorkipoo or yacht.

And for namers who prefer to do it themselves, we can also inform your private search with up-to-the-minute proprietary data on which names parents are searching for most in your city, state, or country.

How do you book a consultation with our name experts and what happens next?

Choose the name consulting service that best fits your needs. The options are outlined below and start at just $150.

After you place your order, you will receive a link to an online questionnaire that will help us to get to know you and what you're looking for in a name.

If your name consultation package includes a phone or video meeting, you'll find a calendar to schedule your session with our name experts.

Have you devoted days or weeks to wander around in Nameland without finding The Name? Let our experts save you time and generate creative name ideas you may not encounter on on your own. We hand-pick names -- from ten up to 100 -- based on your preferences, with a brief explanation of why we think they're right for you. Answers guaranteed in two weeks, but if you're on a tight deadline -- you're in labor! -- let us know and we'll tell you how quickly we can respond.

Starting at $150 for 10 name ideas. Add $99 for every 10 additional names

If you're feeling stuck with any part of the name process, a Nameberry expert consultant will act as your coach.

Your consultant will answer any questions and offer straightforward advice about navigating the baby name process. They will give feedback on your shortlist and provide expert guidance to help you narrow down any current options. Your consultant will also share key insights into trends, cultural factors, and linguistic details that may impact your final decision.

This service includes a one-hour meeting by phone or videoconference with our name experts, but no additional name recommendations are offered.

Name Coaching can be used for any question or concern related to names, but is especially recommended if:

- You are looking for feedback or a tiebreaking opinion on current name contenders

- You are changing your own name or your child's name

- You and your partner are having difficulty agreeing on a name or navigating the baby name process
