Baby name consultation is a wonderful experience and a lasting memory of the months, weeks or days before parenthood. Parents awaiting newborns enjoy custom names and personal advice using My Name for Life's guided name-selection services. Parents struggling with the name of an older child get concrete solutions to name-remorse issues.

Service begins with an e-mail or telephone "discovery" consultation in which you provide information on your baby name style preferences as well as your naming criteria and concerns. All information is confidential. With your preferences in hand, we’ll begin by using the exclusive My Name for Life baby name database along with our collection of history, literature, art, geography and religion volumes. Our linguistics reference library and cultural contacts come in handy for specific naming issues. Ultimately, we use our extensive experience matching baby names to families plus a little imagination to select baby name pairs that meet your criteria. In the case of Name Remorse, the discovery consultation results in carefully considered suggestions for resolution, from simple problem-solving name adjustments to a complete name change when needed.

Parents-to-be usually seek consultation before baby arrives via birth, surrogacy or adoption. Most seek assistance once gender is known. However, Sherri Suzanne has assisted parents while still in the hospital or even after baby is home. In cases of name regret, make contact as soon as you are able—sometimes reassurance is all that's needed. However, give yourself time to consider alternatives.
