Hi, I'm Steph! I turned whimsy and a love of baby names into a job. That's right, I'm a professional name consultant and people pay me to help them choose a name. Pretty neat, right?

I also love talking about birth empowerment, self-publishing, parenting, being a creative, and women's social justice issues. I live in Minnesota with my hubby, three kiddos, and dog.

I wrote a book called Names Don't Have a Gender in 2022 and I'm working on my second one.

I can definitely help you name baby, check out my links below! 🥰

    Please don't name your child Karma, people. They will be made fun of for it, you're setting them up to be the butt of some truly painful jokes.

    That is true, lastnames, although many times originating with male individuals, other times just meant you belong to a family. However, in our times all lastnames signify your family, it's not just your father

    These are all the ways people misspelled or mispronounced my name most of my life. Lol. I grew to love my name in my twenties when I discovered the meaning. I opted to give my own children unique names and almost went with Kerris for one.

    My mother gave me a double name, with no space, but an extra capital letter. Nobody ever spells it right, much less pronounces it right. At around age 30, I completely gave up and just started going by Rae. Because of all this, my 5 kids all have VERY traditional names and spellings. My eldest daughter, Mary, often got asked by school teachers how she spelled or pronounced her name. If they read it on paper, they expected some weird pronunciation, if they heard her say her name, they expected some weird spelling (like Merry) I just wanted her to have a name that can't be messed up. Now I'm left wondering if this is a universal experience with most women and girls
