Trying to make extra money? Well, if you're good at naming stuff add this to your list! Expectant parents are paying tons of money for the “professional baby namer” to pick their kids forever name.
Taylor A. Humphrey, 33, is now making more than $150,000 a year by helping these families. Some parents have even panicked and called her up for help offering up to $10,000 to name their offspring.
According to her website whatsinababyname.com, she offers three levels of professional baby naming services: Bespoke Baby Name Lists, Guidance and Counseling and full-service baby naming concierge.
The Professional "Baby Namer" services can range from a brief consult and filling out an online questionnaire to a "luxury, all-inclusive package that is limited only by your own imagination." Prices for each level are not listed on the website.
She also offers Doula services and Reiki work for soon-to-be-moms as well.
Taylor has been featured on Romper.com and Yahoo Life. She also appeared on the Tamron Hall Show in October of 2021 where she gave tips for choosing a baby name that parents won't hate later. She said that Moses is on her short list of baby names for her future children. Taylor also suggests to would-be-parents is to start a running list of names they love and names they hate and go from there.
Becoming a famous actor, singer, model, or artist takes hard work, talent, and a lot of luck. But for some, star quality may run in the family. Sure, nepo babies are a thing, but when the latent backs up the connections these stars are born with, we have to give credit where it's due.
Some of our favorite actors have given birth to some equally talented actors. The folks who come to mind are Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan's son, Jack Quaid, who we know as the lead actor in The Boys television series. Jack, 32, has been on the satirical superhero show since 2019 and has since appeared in Oppenheimer and in the Scream remake.
Looking up family trees, there are a plethora of celebrities with equally -- if not more -- famous mothers. These women have not only found success in their own careers, but have passed along the superstar bug to their sons, daughters -- and even their grandchildren, too.
Some famous mother-child duos may sound familiar: Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie Fisher, for example, made news when they both died within a day of each other in late 2016. Others, however, may come as more of a surprise as some celebrities are more secretive when it comes to their star-studded lineage. For instance, we had no idea that Meryl Streep's daughter won an award for her acting abilities in theater! Streep has four children, two of whom are actors, one a musician, and another a model.
See below which moms of celebrities are as famous as their kids:
