Baby Names

Baby names - if you're having difficulty deciding on what name to give your baby then check out these books and ideas.

Don't call your baby after bus routes or pubs! Calling your son Augustus John might appear fine until your other half works out its the name of the pub you spent many happy hours in at uni!

What about naming your child after a relative? Maybe as a second name? Some names are very dated, some are timeless. It is all down to personal preference but remember a cutesy name might be fine on your little baby but how will it sound when he's an 18stone rugby player?

Best Baby Names ~ Julia Cresswell -- (Paperback - 3 June, 2002)
A baby's name is almost certainly a name for life. So should you settle for James or Sarah? Or could you search for something more original and if so, what? And having chosen your baby's name, could you begin to explain its meaning? Best Baby Names is the essential A-Z guide for deciding your child's name. It contains over 1,500 possible choices, from Aaron to Zuleika, through the old-fashioned (Hazel and Gilbert), the modern (Jade and Devon), the unusual (Anselm and Tanith) and the most popular...

Names for Baby ~ Carol McD Wallace -- (Paperback - May 1995)
Everything it advertises and more. Out of all my baby name books, this is one of three I carry at all times. After all, you never know when you'll need one or that elusive muse will strike.


15,000+ Baby Names ~ Bruce Lansky -- (Paperback - 9 February, 1998)
I have never read any of Bruce Lansky's books, but now I am sure that he is a great author. If I can find any more of his books I will surely read them. I had to find out what my name meant, and I found my name with a definition, origin, and root word. I also found what every person in my family meant. I was so surprised! I just couldn't believe my eyes! I would recommend this book to anyone I know.
