Georgina Wintersgill Bumper Book of Baby Names (Prima Baby)

Annotation

Choosing a name for baby is fun - even exciting. It's now quite acceptable to call your child after a flower like Poppy, a place like Rio, a colour like Sienna or an emotion like Happy! This book starts at the beginning, with the kind of kind of name wanted: traditional, modern, a combination, Celtic, African or family name? It then addresses the important sub-issues - should you add a middle name to a rather common surname? Do the names you are considering sound right when spoken together? Do their initial letters spell anything embarrassing? Will they produce a nickname that you will hate? And so on, to help you choose the perfect name.
