Did you have a hard time naming your child? Maybe there is a name you like but your partner hates, or maybe you named your child and think you made a mistake, what can you do?

Listen to today’s podcast! We have such a fun show for this week’s episode Yoga Birth babies. I invited Sophie Kim, baby naming expert and editor-in-chief of Nameberry, to join me. She has such an interesting approach to choosing names for children. Although I have already named my children, I find that the naming quiz gives fairly accurate results. I fall into the bohemian name category, no surprise to me with kids named Shay and Sage. We’ll look at how the Nameberry DNA test works, use Sophie’s expertise as a therapist to discuss resolving a name dispute with your partner, how and when to change your baby’s name, the history and popularity of names, and more. I think you’ll get a lot out of this episode and hopefully even take some of the stress out of choosing your baby’s name.

In this episode you will learn:

• Learn about Sophie and how she started naming her children.

• Different types of baby name DNA.

• Suggestions for how parents can begin to narrow down their list of names.

• Changing a child’s name after birth, how common it is and how to do it.

• How to resolve disagreements about a child’s name between partners.

• What people’s names say about the time they were born.

• The most popular names of 2022.

• The most popular names of 2023.

• One last tip/advice that Sophie would like to give to new and expectant parents.

• Where can you find Sophie’s work?
