I love getting the chance to work with clients on clarifying their goals--and this one was particularly rewarding. :) What did you like about the post?

I like it because it weaves a story, name meanings, data, and showcases your expert analysis.

thanks for reading :) It was definitely a different experience working with an adult--the whole process is different when you're talking to the person who's actually looking to use the name in their everyday life, as opposed to expectant parents projecting their hopes and dreams onto a child they haven't met yet. More practical considerations but also a lot more concrete speculation about "does this compromise work for me y/n."
