Most parents would say that naming their child is something you can’t put a price on. Erfolgswelle, on the other hand, would say otherwise. What – or who – are they, you ask? Erfolgswelle, a professional “naming” company from Switzerland, will help you find the perfect name for your little one…all for the cool price of £22,000.
According to a recent article in The Telegraph, Erfolgswelle (meaning “wave of success” in English), has “14 naming experts, four historians and 12 translators spend over 100 hours creating a list of 15 to 25 potential names, before helping parents whittle it down to the perfect one.”
The anxieties for expectant parents naming their parents are obvious. Pick a name that is too traditional and there are worries about your child not standing out. But choose a name that is too unusual (Blue Ivy, anyone?) and you risk your child being teased in the future. And there is the problem of the name fitting the personality of your baby: what if she grows up to be more of a Lily instead of a Samantha?
There is understandable appeal in a naming service that is dedicated to finding the best name for your baby, but surely half the joy of expecting lies in the bickering over name choice. And there is no better feeling when you see your baby for the first time and realise that the name you chose for them is the absolute perfect one.
