Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The 50 million people born between 1965 and 1977, raised on Sesame Street, disco, and video games, whose mission up to now has been establishing a unique identity, are growing up, pairing off, settling down, and having kids. Now, the generation made up of Scotts, Jennifers, and Starrs (with two R's) is faced with the task of finding just the right name for its offspring. In Puffy, Xena, Quentin, Uma, Joal Ryan's well-honed trend radar helps them get the job done.
In the pages of this funny and indispensable guide, you'll find:
* 10,000 names with origins, definitions, and spelling variations--Annie, Anny, Anni, Annee
* Loads of trivia, including what musicians, movie stars and other celebrities name their babies
* "Crib" sheets for busy parents-to-be--a shortcut to the best, riskiest, and trendiest names under each letter of the alphabet
* Off-the-beaten path sources of inspiration--John Hughes movies, the grunge scene, and much more
* Which names are hot, which names are not, and which names might subject your little one to years of playground torture or sessions with a therapist
