A completely updated A-Z listing of over 5,000 baby names, including their origins and meanings
Do you want to call him Romeo? Or her Tiger Lily? Choosing a name for your new baby should never be taken lightly. Research has shown that a name can have a significant effect on a person's life; while the right name can contribute to personal and professional success, the wrong one can often lead to a lifetime of unhappiness. The minefield of potential problems can be enormous and questions that must be asked include- Does the chosen name go well with the surname? Do the initials spell anything unfortunate? Will your child be teased at school? Will the name grow with your child? Is it a name that will date?
Packed with over 5,000 baby names, The Contented Little Baby Book of Names can help you find the perfect name every time. It lists them alphabetically and provides the origin, meaning and short forms, where appropriate, of each one as well as giving sound advice for avoiding any mistakes. Also included are the latest top-ten most popular girls' names and boys' names.
