Essentially, there are now companies that will name your baby for you for a fee up to $29, 000.  They make sure it isn't the name of a serial killer, accomplished with about ten minutes and Google, and make sure it sounds well with your family name. Maybe we ought to start a trad version: who knows, it might pay for a few good projects?
"You should call her Mary Cecilia. That will be $25,000 please, payable in cash or check."  :lol:

C'mon it's a way to make a living. :lol: Better than drug dealing.

And here I thought that a "naming service" was going to be some kind of secular baptism that "spiritual but not religious" people have for their babies...  Now I don't know which is crazier. :shrug:

How about baby name family mediators for when everyone starts fighting about the names.  :p

I'll do it for 50 cents less
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.
