Choosing the baby’s name is one of the most typical dilemmas for couples expecting a child. There are parents who already have the more or less chosen name even before knowing the sex of the baby and there are others who take months to find it. I even know couples whose baby has no name until a few hours after it is born.
The fact is that as the choice is many times complicated, many parents end up pulling books or lists in which to see names, as if it were a catalog (we did it with our first child, who we did not find any name that we liked ).
Among the books that I comment, there is one that is already a few years old entitled Exotic Names for Babies in which its author, Monica Stevens (who did not like too much that in her class of 23 girls there were four more Monica), lists and explains names exotic for boys and girls, in order to have more alternatives and offer more variety to parents.
The name of the baby is going to be the hallmark of our child for the rest of his life , so as parents we must try to avoid the bad drink that some babies get when parents are funny and try to give them their own personality by avoiding the names of the parents (whoever does it, but from my own experience, it is boring to say a name and have two people answer), among other things that we can take into account.
The book, as I said, is a few years old now, so I don’t think it can be bought. However, it is partially available on Google Books , where you will surely find a few ideas. For now I have discovered that “Akira”, a name that I know from the film of the same name, is of Japanese origin and means “joy”, that “Eneko”, which is Basque, is an old version of the name “Íñigo” or “Iñaki”, also Basque and that “Liam”, a name that I like, is Irish and means “who protects himself with his own will”.
The pity is that being a partial version, the part for girls is very brief, too, and there are few names that we can see. In any case, if you want to see this version that I am telling you, you can do it here.
