Product Description

Product Description
This is an essential reading for parents-to-be! This book shows how to learn the derivations and meanings of 4001 names, both commonplace and unusual, and how these thousands of names take their sources from many languages ancient and modern. You can satisfy your curiosity about other people's names and discover the real meaning of your own name. You can find the perfect name for your baby - something really out of the ordinary or one of the sturdy reliables that occur in different versions in many languages. You can refer to this book and avoid giving your child a name with an awkward or embarrassing meaning that will prove a handicap in later life. This is the book to be read aloud, to find a name with sound and rhythm to fit your surname.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't name your baby until you have read this!, 6 April 2001
By A Customer
This is one of the most comprehensive guides to naming your baby ever. It contains both traditional and modern names, complete with their meanings and origins. The names are sourced from many cultures and provide great inspiration. A name is for life!

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good, 5 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Not that impressed with this book. Sure it's cheap but the arrangement of names doesn't make that much sense. Broken up into common and less common names quite a few of the names listed in this years top 100 are apparently uncommon! Also some of the names suggested can be instantly discarded...I mean maybe I am being touchy but I kind of don't want to name my child Adolf! Also the general feel and quality of the page layout is poor. Consider looking elsewhere.

4.0 out of 5 stars great fun looking, 26 May 2009
By Noggin "webbuyer" (east midlands) - See all my reviews
We spent many a happy hour reading this book and just learning the spelling and meaning of the names. These days it pays to do a little research as a simple name in this country can mean something completely different in another but anyway if it is a name you like for your child then stick with it.

Useful reference book, have fun Laura and Andy.
