This Company Will Name Your Baby… For €28,000

Katie Mythen-Lynch

Finding it difficult to choose the perfect name for your baby? Now you can leave the agonising decision to a Swiss firm dedicated to choosing it for you… for a price.

Erfolgswelle Ltd. charges (wait for it) €28,000 for each ‘newly-developed first name’, employing the skills of 14 naming experts, four historians and 12 translators to decide everything from the rhythm of the name to the font it’s written in and check its meaning in the 12 most frequently-spoken languages in the world

The naming team spend approximately 100 hours creating a list of potential monikers for your bundle of joy, before a duo of copyright and brand protection lawyers get involved, checking the list against existing trademarked products.

Don’t have €28,000 to spare? Erfolgswelle Ltd. have put together this handy infographic to help inform your decision:
