Happy Parent or Happy Parents?

The exciting news is this: I'm starting my own business. This is something that I have been thinking for a very long time. I'm excited. I'm motivated. I feel really alive for the first time in a very long time.
The details about it will follow but basically it will be a structure that offers help to first time mothers (and fathers).

I'm writing my business plan, having meetings with people, thinking of my marketing strategy...I'm so busy...so happily busy.

The name is bugging me though.
I want it to be called "happy parent". But an advertiser advised me to consider "happy parents" instead. My initial reaction was "NO", I want it to be happy parent: one parent at a time. But since then, I'm feeling more and more confused about the name.

This will probably be my first help request out of many more to come but I need your help: what do you think friends? "Happy Parent" or "Happy Parents"? Please help!!

    I'm "happy parent" all the way. It sounds a bit cooler than "happy parents" which to me reads a bit, cutesy. HOWEVER, this is from an American, English speaker's POV. So, I cannot speak from the perspective of your parenting demographic. Plus, I think it doesn't unintentionally send an anti single parent message.

      Oh and "happy baby" is a baby food line here that's quite popular. So using the single noun approach to naming hasn't hurt them.

    for marketing purposes, I'd probably go with an S... otherwise it seems like it would only be for women ;). we'll find out in 2 days!
