Beau Jessup is just like any other British teenager, except for one thing — she's making hundreds of thousands of dollars and funding her way through college by naming Chinese babies.
Wang was"delighted," said Jessup, and went on to explain the significance for Chinese people of having an English name. 2015 marked the end of China's decades-long"one-child policy," which limited many families to just one child. By 2016, the country's birthrate rose 7.9 percent to 17.86 million, according to China's National Health and Family Planning Commission.To scale up her idea, Jessup decided to launch a Chinese-language website that could replicate her selection process for numerous people simultaneously.
The website works by asking users to choose five characteristics from a list of 12 that they would most like their child to embody. An algorithm then selects three gender-specific names matched to those five characteristics. Users are then encouraged to share the three suggestions with their friends and family — there's a direct link to Chinese messaging app WeChat on the site — to help them settle on their favorite and avoid any"cultural mistakes.
