Publisher's Synopsis
FOR NEW PARENTS, THE CHOICE OF A NAME FOR THEIR CHILD IS ONE OF THE MO ST IMPORTANT EARLY DECISIONS THEY MAKE. WITH IT'S FULLY CROSS REFERENCED THEMED AND A-Z SECTIONS. THE VIRGIN BOOK OF BABY NAMES TAKES A LESS ORTHODOX AND MORE USER FRIENDLY APPROACH TO HELPING PARENTS IN THIS TASK THAN MANY TRADITIONAL BABY NAMES BOOKS. SOME PARENTS WANT TO FOLLOW TRADTION, SOME WANT A POPULAR CONTEMPORARY NAME. OTHERS WANT AN UNUSUAL NAME THAT NO OTHER CHILD IN THE CLASSROOM WILL HAVE, WHILE AN EVER-INCREASING NUMBER WANT A NAME THAT MEANS SOMETHING - A BIBLICAL NAME, A CELTIC NAME, OR A NAME ASSOCIATED WITH A PARTICULAR PLACE, COLOUR OR FLOWER. IT MAY EVEN MEAN DELVING INTO THE WORLD OF GREEK AND ROMAN MYTHOLOGY OR THE ROMANTIC TALES SURROUNDING KING ARTHUR AND CAMELOT. OR IT MAY MEAN CHOOSING A NAME THAT RELATES DIRECTLY TO THE DATE YOUR CHILD IS BORN-THESAINT FOR THAT DAY, THE NAME OF A FAMOUS STAR WHO SHARES THE SAME BIRTHDAY, OR A NAME ASSOCIATED WITH THE DAY OF THE WEEK OR MONTH. THE LIST IS ENDLESS, THE CHOICE IS VAST. BUT, WHATEVER YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, THE VIRGIN BOOK OF BABY NAMES IS THE BOOK TO HAVE TO HELP YOU IN THIS TASK.
