This episode is a super fun conversation around names! I'm joined by Sophie Kihm who is both a Baby Name expert & Editor-in-Chief of Nameberry (a baby name resource that’s been around since 1999) as well as a Perinatal Therapist based in Chicago. We discuss trends of names, why some names get recycled every century and others might not...what names tell us about those who named us, as well as how a name can be a huge piece in one's identity. This conversation is not just about newborn names, it is also a conversation around the significance and impact changing your name as an adult can have.
Sophie has a long history of predicting name trends for Nameberry on and instagram and TikTok, showing you first-hand how she's made predictions on even the more obscure Hollywood baby names.
