30, 000 Very Best Baby Names

Very Best Baby Name Book, the #1 best-selling baby name book in the world, is now bigger and better. The most important changes are: more names (50,000 names vs. 30,000 names previously) and more lists to help readers choose (100 lists vs. 25 lists previously). You will find the lists not only fun to read but illuminating and extremely helpful for parents who want to pick names with strong positive associations and avoid names with strong negative associations. The new lists of names have been selected to highlight names with strong positive associations,such as:?names that suggest intelligence and competence for girls and boys'names that suggest success for girls and boys'names that suggest athletic prowess and strength for girls and boys'names that suggest attractiveness for girls and boys'names that suggest a good sense of humor for girls and boys The new lists also highlight names with strong negative (or questionable) associations, such as:?names that suggest stupidity and incompetence for girls and boys'names that suggest low odds of success for girls and boys'names that suggest an absence of athletic prowess and strength for girls and boys'names that give off sexual vibes for girls and boys' In addition, Lansky provides lists of names strongly associated with famous people in the arts, professions, science, and business, as well as names associated with popular names from the New and Old Testament and from literature and history. In short, Lansky has come up with the most useful -- as well as fun -- collection of lists available. In addition, this book contains a variety of helpful, informative and fun features, including:-advice on how to pick a name -baby name legal guide- the 100 most popular girls names in 2003 -fascinating facts about names- the 100 most popular boys' names in 2003 -stereotypes of name- celebrity name changes -popular names in foreign countries- celebrities' babies names No wonder The Very Best Baby Name Book is also North America's best-selling baby name book and likely to stay that way for a long, long time.

Great comprehensive baby name book

This book is pretty fantastic. Not only does it list all names you could (and couldn't) possibly think of in alphabetical order, but the beginning of the book lists names by category: i.e. Top 100 names, Top names by country, Names by personality type, etc. So, you can look at the "intelligent" names list if you'd like your child to have a name that tends to be attributed to intelligent people. Also, each name in the alphabetical...

This was our favorite

Picking a baby name is a very personal process and everyone approaches it differently. We were given four or five baby name books, and this was the one we found most complete and helpful. I suggest getting several books, including this one, and just enjoy looking through them and getting ideas. Don't worry too much about what a name "means", it varies from book to book and country to country, and no one will know it anyway...

Baby Names A Plenty

We used the old version of this book 16 years ago. My cousin, is now going to have a baby and I was so glad to be able to find the same book in print and even better. It is a wonderful book and lots of fun to share with "Dad" and anyone else special on your list! Allow yourself enough time because there are plenty of names to keep you searching. Have fun.
