Brilliant Baby Names
07 Jan 08

Choosing the right name for a baby is a huge decision and one not to be taken lightly, especially when research shows that, from playground to office, other people will make instinctive and subconscious assumptions about us, our character, abilities and intelligence, just from our name.

Brilliant Baby Names helps parents' understand the psychology of names, as well as giving them all the advice they need to choose a name that is right for them and their baby for life.

Much more than an alphabetical listing of names (although it includes that too), the authors have researched and distilled all the latest information, scientific findings and wisdom into one guide, giving parents wide ranging advice on every aspect of choosing a name including: the ideal number of syllables, common pitfalls, matching first names and surnames, how names are perceived, the legal requirements and how to avoid family arguments.

The section of the book covering the psychology of names is a collection of all the studies on how a name will affect someone's life. It looks at topics such as: academic achievement, childhood popularity, attractiveness to the opposite sex, reactions to gender neutral names and career success.

The listing section includes traditional names, celebrity names, gender neutral names, and a list of the 100 greatest names in cinema, entertainment and sport.

Whether parents need advice on how to choose a name, are looking for inspiration, or they want to find out the meaning of the names they have in mind, they will find what they are looking for in this handy little guide.
