A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Babies are the courageous explorers of brave new worlds so why not name them after the most memorable characters in science fiction? Sci-Fi Baby Names compiles more than 500 distinctive names from movies, books, and television shows into a handy illustrated reference. Choose 'James' to honor the captain of the starship Enterprise. Choose 'Leia' (or 'Leah') to honor the sister of Luke Skywalker. Choose 'Neo' to salute the ultra-cool messiah from The Matrix. Hardcore fans can go even further with exotic names like 'Barbarella,''Beldar,' and 'Tron' (just don't send us the therapy bills). Arranged by category for quick reference with chapters such as Power Names, Feminine Names, and Intellectual Names Sci-Fi Baby Names is a terrific gift for expecting parents and a wonderful roll call of our favorite science-fiction characters.

Revue de presse

“It used to be that parents would look to the Bible or history or long-gone relatives to find a name for their baby. Then Mom and Dad began looking to singers and sports starts and movie actors and actresses for inspiration. Now comes Brooklyn writer Robert Schnakenberg with a new source: science-fiction characters.”—Chicago Tribune
 
“Tempted to name your son Yoda? A new book called Sci-Fi Baby Names can help you make that important decision.”—Newsday
 
“Baby names such as ‘China’ and ‘Moon Unit’ are so yesterday. Now your kid can be 23rd century from Day One if you zap him or her with a name from the new book Sci-Fi Baby Names.”—Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
