Beyond Jennifer and Jason: An Enlightened Guide to Naming Your Baby
Bellbird avatar reviewed on + 106 more book reviews


I enjoyed this book of Christian names (or first names, as none of them are necessarily Christian!) - when I was in my fiction writing stage as a teen, this book provided lists of names arranged under many, many categories: old fashioned, new age, wimpy, manly, androgynous, so far in they're out (circa 1988-1990), and more. You can see what your name is categorized under (Feminine, Feminissima, 75% Masculine, RAF Pilot name?) and see if you agree. A good book for fiction writers who need names, people who like lists of things and for new parents who are wondering what to properly call their bundle of joy.
