Beyond Shannon and Sean: An Enlightened Guide to Irish Baby Naming

( Say you want to give your baby and Irish name-either be...)

Say you want to give your baby and Irish name-either because you of Irish descent or because you simply like the sound of Sinead or Finnega. But where do you find an Irish name? Sprinkled throughout most naming dictionaries are names that seem to be Irish, but it's difficult to tell: A name that one book calls Irish might be called Scottish in another, or simply Celtic. And it's even harder to find Irish names beyond the usual Kevin and Kathleen and Kelly. Instead of a handful of Irish names within a universal name book, this book offers a universe of Irish names from which to choose. Using the same innovative structure that made its parent, Beyond Jennifer & Jason, the reigning authority on baby names-and written with just as much flair and wit-Beyond Shannon & Sean provides the most comprehensive guide to Irish names ever published in America: From Annie to Aine, from Seamus to James-the most popular names in Ireland today, and why there are no Irish girls named Erin or Colleen. From Murphy Brown to the hills of Donegal-melodious place names and family names, and why no one (not even an O'Kane) ever uses Gofraidh. From Finn MacCool to Sinead O'Connor-names inspired by Irish legends and literature, and real people who have made their names famous. Plus a much-needed guide book to obscure Celtic pronunciations, and more...

From the authors of Beyond Jennifer & Jason, "the best baby-naming book ever written" (The News Journal), here is a book to help you find a name for your baby that reflects your Jewish heritage and suits your personal style: Beyond Sarah & Sam: An Enlightened Guide to Jewish Baby Naming You want to name your baby after your grandfather Moishe, but it seems as if all the "good" M names-those that appeal to both the Jewish person and the modern parent in you-have been overused. Or you want to give your child a biblical name, but every time you open the Old Testament the only names you see are the usual Sarahs and Adams or the beyond-the-pale Jezebels and Jobabs. Here, at last, is a comprehensive guide to names that can work for a Jewish baby in America today-from the traditional to the trendy, from the well-worn to the unheard-of, and everything in between. With the insight and panache that have made them the reigning experts on baby names, the authors explore: Bubba and Zayde Names-Jewish names of yesteryear that are ripe for a comeback, and those in "Lauderdale Limbo" whose fate is undetermined The Good Book of Names-how to go beyond Sarah and Samuel and Rachel and David, and why not to name your son Cain! Haifa-Nated Names-Hebrew names that may be popular in modern Israel but are sure to make your little one stand out in America Plus an explanation of the complex Jewish naming traditions, a list of Jewish celebrities and their real names, and much, much more... The authors' first baby name book revolutionized the field.

Baby Names Now: From Classic to Cool--The Very Last Word on First Names

( Need the lowdown on first names? Linda Rosenkrantz and ...)

Need the lowdown on first names? Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran, authors of the bestselling Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana and The Last Word on First Names, offer a fresh, illuminating, and indispensable guide to thousands of names from Aaliyah to Zuri. Drawing on years of research and experience, only Baby Names Now can give you insights like these: * Call your daughter Rose, but don't call your son Thorne. * Word names, nature names, and what might be called time names are fashionable now, especially those that haven't been used much in the past. December, in other words, is much cooler than April or June. * Although it sounds desertlike, Zahara is actually a Muslim and Swahili name meaning "flower." In Hebrew, it denotes brightness. * If Cook and Sailor can be used as first names, why not Fisher? * Though it has a hippyish feel, Jupiter has a legitimate history as a first name, used in this country as far back as the eighteenth century-- in fact, Jupiter Hammon was the first African-American poet published here. * Malcolm's in the middle-- of a definite revival. Whether you already have a list of favorite names or are just beginning to look for ideas, Baby Names Now will provide the information and inspiration you need to make the perfect choice.

Beyond Charles and Diana: An Anglophile's Guide to Baby Naming

( You stayed up until 2 A.M. reading Jane Eyre. You woke ...)

You stayed up until 2 A.M. reading Jane Eyre. You woke up at 4 A.M. to watch the Royal Wedding. And you waited with baited breath to hear the names of Britain's newborn princes and princesses. But instead of wondering how the royal family could have chosen such eccentric names as Henry or Beatrice or even Eugenie, you wondered where you could find more of them. Beyond Charles & Diana is where you can find a whole empire of British names-- from universal to uniquely English, from royal to lower class, and everything in between. With the same wisdom and wit that made Beyond Jennifer & Jason the reigning authority on baby names, and with inside knowledge-- one author lives in London and the other is married to an Englishman-- this book tells you everything you need to know about British names: * The Brit Hit Parade-- what's hot in England these days and what's not, and what's in London Limbo * Class Consciousness-- the more names, the better (but Elizabeth Krystle Kayla Debbie doesn't quite make it!), and which names are "U" (Henrietta is; Heather isn't) * Literary Lights-- from Shakespeare, the Bard of Naming, to Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, to the modern Waugh, Wodehouse, and Pym Plus royal names from the reign of the Saxons to the present, Scottish names and Welsh names, and much, much more....
