About this title

Review:

Paula Samuelson's Baby Names for the New Century offers a wide variety of names from around the world, providing a global focus that puts Nanymka from Ghana next to Nana from Hawaii and Nancy from the Hebrew. While sticking to mainly short descriptions (such as "master of his domain" for Henry), Samuelson does include a vast data bank at the end of the book which breaks names into thematically focused categories, including sports, literature, movies and television, aeronautics, and nature. What's more, each category associates names with famous people throughout history, allowing parents to bet on whether history can actually repeat itself.
