Finding a suitable name for a baby is a
big deal in China. When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two
or three characters that have a carefully thought out meaning, but when
deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That's where Jessup and her
company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name
677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than
enough to pay her college fees.
Jessup came up with the idea for
Special Name in 2015, after accompanying her father on a business trip to
China. One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs. Wang, asked her to help
choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honored and quickly
realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The woman
wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so
Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle
from the play Pygmalion. Mrs. Wang
seemed delighted with Jessup's choice. "If Mrs. Wang needed this service, maybe
other parents would as well," Jessup thought.
After returning to UK, Jessup borrowed ￡1,500 from her parents and paid a web
designer to build a website, She then spent her free time filling up a
database(数据库)with
around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major personality
characteristics, like honesty and optimism.
In the beginning, Jessup offered the
service for free to promote the website, but later, she started charging fees. The
business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in
China that manages technical operations. She updates the database each month, allowing
her to focus full-time on studies.
