Holland said that years earlier, after two of her close friends had their first child together, they became so deadlocked on the name issue that they refused to complete the birth certificate. More than a week passed without them being allowed to leave the hospital. With insurance refusing to cover the extended stay, Holland said, the couple’s medical bill totaled more than $300,000.
Fortunately, Holland had Humphrey, who tinkered with variants of Priscilla until she uncovered a middle name the couple could agree upon: Lily. The impasse ended minutes before Holland’s mandated discharge time.

I wonder if this is a conspicuous consumption thing, like people pay for a $30k baby namer so they can brag to their friends that they had their kid’s name optimized by the best. Or is this just a sign of how dysfunctional and soulless Silicon Valley tech bro/broette relationships are?
Yes.
You described the same thing twice.

The straights are not ok.
I hope the child transitions anyway and uses a new name
I still occasionally rib my son over giving up his cool as hell birth name. His new name is a variant of my name, though, so I guess I can’t complain too much.
Can’t make this shit up
I can for 30k
there are grifting opportunities everywhere for those

This lady can aquire a year’s worth of a proles wages on a Saturday afternoon by downing 3 mimosas and doing a tarot card divination.
people keep saying tarot card reading is not productive and yet
She was originally charging $100 which is kinda fair for what’s essentially a few hours of couples therapy/consulting. Seems like she found her bag though

You know what? Good for her. No one willing to pay 30k for this deserves any money at all
I hate to vindicate the chuds but San Francisco might actually have to be nuked
What’re you Israel? That’s way too much collateral damage, just carpet bomb the pac heights neighborhood, that’s where all these ghouls live, including pelosi.
reflect your child’s unique identity
I’m sorry, what sort of unique identity does a newborn baby have? Oh, you mean one projected onto them by their parents. “I can tell by the way the baby shits and burps, that he’s going to be a quirky yet cool, so the name should be Braxton.”
This has to be a money laundering thing, right?
Where I’m at, about half the businesses on Main Street are some form of “boutique” store that re-sells Etsy/Amazon tat for a 400% markup. Never see anyone actually buying anything, and they all lose money according to tax records, but the amount differs and they all have husbands that run sketchy real estate companies based out of Florida.
There’s a doll shop on a $2M storefront that sells exactly 3 dolls/month.
So yeah, I’m convinced all this sort of stuff is just a form of money laundering or low grade white collar tax fraud.

Is this a thing like Dead Internet Theory?
It is. I just made it up.

bit idea: why just name a kid Tylurgh or Brysdon for a single fee when you can get paid twice with names like
- CokeZero
- Blu Chew

Found it! Reaper Man is a Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett.
two dogs playing? What’s the twins name? Don’t leave us hanging
“His slightly older twin brother’s name was conventionally shortened to Two-Dogs-. Who were emphatically not fighting at the time mother looked out of the tepee. He’d have given his right arm to have been called Two-Dogs-Fighting.”
There is no such thing as a society, the US is just a bunch of individuals all trying to outgrift each other.
