I’m having my first child in a few weeks, and though I’ve perused other baby name books, _A is for Atticus_ is the ONLY book I keep coming back to. Craker’s whit makes this an enjoyable read – I love her sassy style and opinions on the names, rather than just listing their meaning and moving on. The names suggested range from classic to edgy to silly – and what’s a good book without all of those things? If you love books, then you’ll love this baby name book – not just for the name suggestions, but it’s also a great read! I’ve already passed it on to other friends who are having babies.
Product Description
Pick up a celebrity magazine and you’ll see that the art of naming babies has reached new heights of self-expression, with recent choices like Shiloh, Sailor, Apple, and notably, Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q. Hewson. Baby namers today want monikers that reflect something personal. Where better to draw inspiration than the books you cherish and the characters you love? A IS FOR ATTICUS mines the classics for the best names and brings them all into one volume. Unlike massive baby name books, which offer endless, dry lists with cursory dictionary definitions, each of the carefully selected names (including Beckett after the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett and Esme from J.D. Salinger’s For Esme with Love and Squalor) is fully profiled in a fun, savvy, info-packed listing that includes a name’s meaning, uniqueness, modern appeal, and cultural significance. Helpful sidebars guide you to the perfect name for your perfect baby.
