WANTED: Baby Name Ideas... and Fast!
Updated 7/23/24: THE NEW ELF HAS ARRIVED!!! Tesla gave birth to a beautiful baby girl weighing 7lb 9oz. Mother and daughter are both doing great. Thanks to everyone for all the great name suggestions. The final name is... SAGE!
Original Post:
Many of you know Elf Tesla as the friendly voice that usually answers the phone when you call us with a sizing question. She's also our head honcho customer service elf and has a knack for putting out fires of all shapes and sizes without losing her cool. We're both delighted and sorry to say that you won't be hearing her voice for a while because she'll soon begin her first maternity leave!
Elf Tesla, Nine Months Pregnant
Tesla and husband Michael are expecting their first child very soon—the due date is less than two weeks away! So far, everything is going great. The baby is looking super healthy, Tesla snatched up her favorite Softstar baby shoes from our showroom before anyone else could buy them and the whole elf staff had a blast at her baby shower. Only one big problem remains... Tesla and Michael can't decide on a name!
After months of discussion and web name searching, they still haven't found one they feel strongly about. It's getting close to baby time, so the deadline is fast approaching.
Tesla thought it might be fun to turn to our fans for ideas with the hope that something will pop out, so we're asking for your help. Do you have any name suggestions? If it helps, they know the baby will be a girl and the names they like the most so far are Juniper, Fiore, Isabelle and Ruby.
Feel free to list your suggestions in the comments below. Tesla is happy to hear them all!
And no worries, Tesla promises to return to the workshop in a few months (big sigh of relief from the rest of the elves).

Martin is a lifelong runner who began wearing minimalist shoes over 10 years ago when he found they alleviated his chronic foot pain, which eventually disappeared completely. He further studied proper running form through a series of workshops taught by Correct Toes inventor, Dr. Ray McClanahan DPM. Martin has collaborated with several health care professionals to collect and share peer-reviewed studies that show the benefits of minimalist footwear. In his personal life, Martin loves living in the Pacific Northwest because it allows him to enjoy a variety of outdoor activities year-round, including hiking, cycling, rock climbing, surfing and snowboarding.
