FAQ
My newborn has arrived! I need to do the name registration soon. How long does it take for Master Sherwin to come up with a name for my baby ?
Please don't panic. Master Sherwin knows parents are anxiously waiting for the selected names, especially the first-timers!
The most efficient way is to send in your application with all the required information beforehand. When your newborn has arrived, whatsapp us his/her birth date and time and make the payment.
It will normally take about 2 to 3 days (definitely in time for name registration) for Master Sherwin to have the selected names ready for you to choose from. If you need it even earlier, we have a priority naming service too.
So what information do I need to give Master Sherwin in order to select a most suitable name?
Besides your baby's birth date and time, all you need is to provide the names, birth dates and times of both parents and siblings of the baby, if any. If there is a lineage character (家谱) to follow, Chinese characters preferred or to avoid, you can also inform us. Master Sherwin will take all these into consideration.
How many names will Master Sherwin provide for me to choose from?
Master Sherwin will provide about 6 to 8 names for you to choose from.
So what's the process of name selection like?
Upon receiving all the required information and payment from you, Master Sherwin will analyze the possible names and select the most suitable ones for your baby. You will receive the list of names before a Zoom consultation with Master Sherwin.
During the Zoom session, you can discuss the names with Master Sherwin to understand the rationale behind each selected name and then ultimately make the best choice for your child.
Master Sherwin will also share about the baby's character, favourable colours, cot sleeping positions and parenting methods suited for your child. All these recommendations are also provided in a written report for your future reference.
