      Baby Names Book: Getting Started on Choosing the Perfect Baby Names and Meanings by Rachel CarringtonFirstly I would like to state that I am not pregnant or looking to choose a name for a child. I just requested a copy of this book at no charge through LibraryThing to review. I always liked looking at name books and have named 6 children of my own so I thought it would be fun.Well this book is exactly what it says in the title as a start for choosing a name. There are not very many names in the book and most are very well heard of names with only a few that I have not seen before. For instance just to give you an idea of how few names are in the book in the boys name section there are only 4 entries for the letter "N". The definitions are ok but again a lot of the names are old fashioned and I think the definitions and origins were also older with a lot being from the bible. I think with all the newer names with unique spelling there could have been a lot more to this book.

      This is a great book for new parents and even for parents of a second or third child! Well written and love the names in the book!

    Introduction

    Of all the things that parents can give to their children, the name chosen by the parents is one of the most enduring. Names are somewhat similar to things the child inherits from the parents, such as hair, eye color, and height, but with the difference that it is chosen by the parents. Conversely, unlike a bicycle, the name is something that can't be replaced or changed, so choosing it carefully is of prime importance.

    In fact, the lifelong effect the name the parents choose for their kids is considered so great that in some countries the government actually maintains a list of what names they will allow a birth certificate to be registered under!

    In most countries, however, the parents have complete leeway over what to name their kids. This poses as much of a challenge as anything else, because there are literally hundreds of thousands of name variations to choose from.

    In this eBook, we have collected a detailed list of names from throughout the globe, summarizing the origin and meaning of each. Many new parents may not be aware that each name has a distinct meaning. In the same way that family names like Baker or Smith indicated the family's line of work, and names like Armstrong describe a physical trait, so too do first names.

    Of course, since the vast majority of first names evolved in different languages, their meaning escapes most people today. We will provide a set of guidelines as to how to organize your baby name choosing journey, and provide a list explaining the often interesting meaning and background of hundreds of well and lesser known names.

    How to Guide Your Decision

    Picking the right name for your child is the first challenging task of parenthood. Sure, it may pale
