Synopsis
Which novelist invented the name Kim? Has Schwarzenegger helped to re-popularize the name Arnold? What are the origins of Lori? The answers are to be found in this new edition of the Bloomsbury Dictionary of First Names. First names are subject to both conservatism and fashion. John and Mary traditionally topped the popularity stakes; Hazel and Gilbert rose and fell with the passage of time; and Jade and Dylan have recently crept into use. Place names, historical figures, precious stones, natural phenomena, and Hollywood stars are among the many influences revealed in the dictionary. Whether used for selecting a baby’s name or studying local and family history, the Bloomsbury Dictionary of First Names is a rich source of information.
