Book Description

7 Jan 2008 0007270704 978-0007270705 New Ed

Babies’ Names is a best-selling guide to over 1,500 first names. The book gives the origins of each name, and also lists the most popular girls’ and boys’ names in Britain today. It’s the ideal reference for parents-to-be everywhere.

From grandparents and friends to the milkman, everyone seems to have an opinion on what name you should give your baby. If you’re struggling to agree with your partner, this is your one-stop guide to finding that perfect name.

All entries are listed alphabetically for easy reference, giving a pronunciation guide, background to the origins of the name and any related nicknames or pet forms. Sikh, Hindu, Muslim, Afro-Caribbean and European names, as well as Christian names, are all included.

A helpful guide to registering your baby’s birth and points to consider when naming your child, plus up-to-date lists of the most popular girls’ and boys’ names complete this comprehensive guide. It couldn’t be more easy to find that special baby name.

5.0 out of 5 stars It does what it says on the tin 19 April 2009
Format:Paperback
I found this little book quite good as there is a small definition for each name. I ended up choosing a name that I heard somewhere and not one I found in the book but it is always useful to have inspiration.
