For parents-to-be choosing a child's name is a joyful yet tricky task. There is, after all, only one right name for each baby! It is a task which can be approached in many ways: you may have names in mind and want to narrow the list down, or you may know that you want to give your child a name of Irish origin, for example; or, you may be stuck for ideas and want to browse through lists of names in search of inspiration. This revised edition of Babies' Names will help you find the right name for your baby. The book gives all names in common use in the English-speaking world.

Babies' Names has everything parents-to-be need to make this all-important choice, in a pocket size that means you need never be without inspiration.
