I mean, “Emily” is a nice enough name for a girl.

There, I just earned $1000.

I've read about her! She mostly works with Chinese parents to pick appropriate sounding English names for their children to use later in life. See, Chinese names do not tend to work well outside of China because of how tonal and unique the phonetics can be and how few international documents allow the symbols. Rather than sign their kids up for either never working or traveling abroad or constantly being disrespected on accident, many parents give them backup English first names in addition to their Chinese first names.

However, the problem arises that Chinese parents do not always know English naming connotations any more than I would know Chinese ones, and there’s a LOT of very deep cultural traditions involved in naming your kids, so they can't just grab a popular baby names list and call it good. So some poor kids get names that were direct English translations of those Chinese naming sensibilities that didn't translate well (a friend of mine in College had to help a tutoring student with name change paperwork so she wouldn't have to go by Lush. My dad knew a guy who narrowly dodged the first name Rolex, but his name ended up Cash, thankfully. That sort of thing) or names that ARE English name's but have... unfortunate connotations (think Karen or Hannibal), or names that are just very outdated (Bertha, Ethyl, Quintin, Norbert, etc.). And without becoming world travellers or investing a shitton of time in learning way more about other cultures than they really need to for daily lifw, your average lower to middle class parents couldn't really guarantee that the names they gave their kids would actually help them, thereby risking continuing the cycle of social stratification and limiting upward mobility.

So this woman learns this, and goes "Oh, I know how to fix this!" And she starts a business where Chinese parents can email her with a list of things that they want their children's names to mean or reflect, auspicious elements they want, etc, and she pools her knowledge of English speaking cultural norms and a bunch of baby name guides to email them a short list of names that meet their needs with little descriptions of each one explaining what it means and how people will think of it, and they can pick a meaningful name in accordance with their cultural traditions that won't screw their kids over later.

What on earth are you talking about. None of her online presence suggests this and there's two articles about her that done mention this

This is a white woman naming white babies in exactly the way the original post suggests. Why did you make up a weird paternalistic lie about helpless Chinese parents.

can never leave this website

that's EVEN WEIRDER

It's more likely than you think

"But some of them are scams" sure, but so what? All humanitarian crises attract vultures – there's no reason to expect this one to be the exception. If you think you've got a scammer on your hands, the appropriate response is to block and move on; it's certainly not to participate in the targeted public harassment of folks who've taken it upon themselves to curate lists of vetted fundraising efforts on the basis that you think some of the entries on their list have weird vibes.
