"I thought it was a very important conversation in a long form video format because we can give backup to what we're saying,"
"It totally depends on the user. It depends on where you're from. It depends on who you've met with that name."
"Someone not liking your baby name is like someone just having a different interior decorating style than you,"
"you're the one that has to say that name literally every second of your life for the next 50 years,"
Colleen Slagen and Jessie Paquette created the Name 911 podcast to have nuanced, long-form conversations about baby names rather than brief, sensational TikTok clips. The consultants often disagree on which names don’t work and evaluate names contextually. Slagen warns that using last names as first names reads differently depending on region and personal associations. Paquette advises not to take others' dislike personally and compares name criticism to differing interior decorating tastes. Paquette dislikes overly common girls' names and lists August and Beau among boys' names she disfavors.
