What's in a name? Babies are born everyday, forcing parents to ask that very question. Many people believe that a name can make all the difference when it comes to success and happiness in work, life, and love.

While the decision of what to name a child is without question an important one, is it really necessary to hire a consultant? Do you often find yourself wishing that your parents had hired a baby name consultant (Mom- no complaints here!)?
