A woman who works as a “name expert” helps up to five couples a day choose a name for their baby - as she predicts name trends for 2023

A “name expert” is helping parents pick names for their newborns, and is predicting 2023 trends will include surnames for first names and gender neutral names. Colleen Slagen began offering parents-to-be names consultations in January last year, after being “obsessed” with baby names her whole life.

The 33-year-old now received up to five consultation requests a day charging between $175 (£140) and $250 (£201). The consultations see her and her clients go through a lengthy process in order to create a list of either eight or 16 baby names.
