Product Description

Synopsis

This publication, with its fresh easy-to-use format, steers new parents through the pitfalls of choosing a name for their child. The author combines common sense with good judgement to help make the process as straightforward as possible.


From the Back Cover

Before you commit your child to a name for life, browse through this book.

Feast your imagination on a vast range of choices from the trendy to the traditional, and from the popular to the sophisticated.

You never saw so many ways to christen your baby with style and suitability.

Meaningful names, musical names, mystical names ...

You probably know that Natalie means born at Christmas. But would you guess that Vanessa means a butterfly? Or that Thomas signifies a twin? Or that Kenneth is the celtic for handsome?

Enjoy the sounds and meanings of these richly varied names, noting their exotic backgrounds and checking the numerous variations on so many of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plenty to choose from without stretching to the ridiculous, 1 Mar 2005
By Miss H L Belasco (Marlow, Bucks United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
A clear and concise resource of every baby name you could think of and their classic meanings. This book is a nice mixture of traditional and modern for those who are undecided about which direction to go in. Unlike some books which include every baby name under the sun including potential names that no parent would dream inflicting on their child this title knows where to draw the line - highly recommended!

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete and Utter rubbish!!!, 26 Jun 2008
By J. Hill (Horsham, Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I don't know how people can say this book doesn't suggest rediculous names, 'ANAL' for a girl, who would even consider calling their child this???!!! I would hope no one! I bought it because it said classic and modern names but the classic names are the very common Laura, Sarah, Anne etc and then the modern names are ridiculous, many of them foreign and completely unthinkable unless you have an unusual surname with which an outrageous name wouldn't sound so bad. I only read to O in the girls's names before giving up hope on finding anything remotely suitable unless I chose something run of the mill which I didn't want. I was hoping to find a name that was slightly different without being too weird but this certainly isn't the book to do this, it goes from the mundane to the ridiculous. Totally not worth the money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't do it!!!, 12 Jul 2008
By Mr. C. A. C. Swift "swifty" (Guernsey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Seriously they called it 7000 names and then went through the Bible, shakespear and then invented the rest of them. it should be renamed 7000 names that could lead to your child being seriously bullied, Why would you name your child, Gentilis!!! If you want to make your child hate you and save yourselves the price of this book go to Wikipedia and look up Bible names.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not really necessary
My husband and I trawled through this book repeatedly in the months before our son's birth and ended up choosing a name that wasn't even in it! Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Just another names book
I found this book had lots of names missing and lots of un-realistic names you wouldn't ever choose! I suppose it's ok if you want something completely weird!!
Published 14 months ago by Mrs. K. M. Brown

2.0 out of 5 stars Too little choice and too much classic
I was fairly disappointed with this book and instantly ordered an alternative as it just wasn't useful for me. Read more
