About Plan Your Kid

Plan Your Kid helps parents and parents-to-be with three big questions: what to call their child, how tall (and heavy) they are likely to grow, and what raising them will cost.

The name finder starts from who you hope your child becomes and matches names by meaning, sound and style, because research shows names shape how people see and treat us. The height and weight planner uses the CDC growth charts and published studies on what really changes growth. The kid design studio adds up the cost of raising a child in six countries from published cost-of-a-child studies and local prices. We try to be funny, but everything we say should be true.
