The Nameberry Guide To Off The Grid Baby Names

A guide to the best unusual baby names by the creators of Nameberry.

Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran's biggest and best book ever, The Nameberry Guide to the Very Best Baby Names combines the material in both their girls' and boys' guides to bring you one comprehensive compendium of the best names from their authoritative website Nameberry. The byword here is curation: This book is the leading baby name experts' exclusive selection of their 1200+ top picks, including classic names and newly-minted choices, baby names popular in the US along with unusual names collected from around the world. The Nameberry creators' newest book is the ultimate guide for parents who want to narrow the universe of names to the very best choices for their babies.

The creators of the leading website Nameberry choose the very best girls' names.

From the bestselling arbiters of hip baby names ("The Wall Street Journal") comes an all-new guide with the hottest trends and freshest advice.

The authors of Beyond Jennifer & Jason, the bestseller that revolutionized baby naming, offer the last word on the perfect first name. Hope is hot, Hortense is not-- at last, here's what parents really need to know before naming a baby. For years you knew what to expect from a baby-name book: a long, dull list of names with their dictionary definitions. All that changed with Beyond Jennifer & Jason-- the groundbreaking book on styles and trends in baby names that has been called "the best baby-naming book ever written" (The News Journal). Now Rosenkrantz and Satran return with an all-new baby-name guide that is destined to become a classic. Like other books, it's packed with entries on girls' and boys' names from A to Z, but no one else gives you the inside story on names: why the world has all the Ashleys it needs, why everyone loves Emily, and why you should or should not call your son Ishmael. Drawing on sources as diverse as ancient myths, current TV series, the Bible, and world literature, The Last Word on First Names is a readable, witty, and illuminating guide to the real-world meaning of Miranda, Max, and thousands of other names from Abigail to Zelig. No one should name a baby without this book.

This title is for grown-up girls of all ages. From recipes for the complete tool-box (a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill and a black lace bra) to advice about friendships, this aims to be a manifesto for the woman who works, plays and laughs hard.

Baby-naming has become an art form with parents today, but where do parents go to find names and their meanings? The Name Book offers particular inspiration to those who want more than just a list of popular names. From Aaron to Zoe, this useful book includes the cultural origin, the literal meaning, and the spiritual significance of more than 10,000 names. An appropriate verse of Scripture accompanies each name, offering parents a special way to bless their children.
