Famous Parents Tipped to Take Leading Role in Baby Name Trends, Says Designer of New Shiloh Merchandise
A successful designer of pregnancy announcement shirts is betting that Shiloh will become a more popular name now that a famous couple have chosen it for their baby daughter. A new design featuring the name Shiloh above an arrow pointing down to the womb has gone on sale at http://www.cafepress.com/materni_tee/1384188
Melbourne, Australia — Designer Malcolm McDonough sells hundreds of shirts about pregnancy every month from an online store at Materni-Tee.com which launched in June 2000. Having seen Internet buzz about a certain baby build since the famous parents announced that they were expecting a baby, he has created products using the name Shiloh, which the celebrity couple chose for their daughter.
The design is based on a popular series with an arrow pointing down to the womb of the wearer with a word such as ‘BABY’ or ‘BABIES’ or the name of the unborn child. It is already available online on 29 products including 23 different kinds of tee shirt and tops. McDonough, 39, says that he expects interest in the design to be high. “The name Shiloh started turning up not just in news stories, but in blogs all over the world almost immediately after the announcement” he said. “With a couple who are famous, glamorous and known for humanitarian work to boot, I expect they will be role models for many parents as well as for their children”.
All the buzz will help the merchandise sell rather than compete with the site for the web surfer’s attention according to Malcolm. “We offer an Affiliate Programme through our fulfillment provider, CafePress.com” he says. “So among all the bloggers, webmasters and reporters writing about Shiloh, some will take the opportunity to earn 20% of the retail price by linking directly to http://www.cafepress.com/materni_tee/1384188 after signing up for the free programme at http://www.cafepress.com/materni_tee/939042″.
Malcolm, who is already a father of five, has no immediate plans to use the name Shiloh himself. “We decided four kids was enough, so we’ve already had to come up with more baby names than we planned” he joked. “Choosing a baby name you love and want a child to be know by for the rest of their life is a challenge whether you are a celebrity couple, or simply Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
The Shiloh merchandise is available from the ‘Baby’s First/Baby Names’ section at http://www.Materni-Tee.com or simply at http://www.cafepress.com/materni_tee/1384188
