The choice of the baby name can be a desired or feared moment, although what we usually agree on is that we are not clear about it. The future mother bets on some names, the father on others, the family also has its opinion … To facilitate this task there is a new guide for deciding the name of your child: “The best names for your baby”, by Oniro .
It is a complete and current guide that helps us take that first step that will give identity to the baby and will accompany him throughout his life. It contains more than 3,000 names, boy (1502) and girl (1655), of all origins, and with their equivalents in other peninsular (Galician, Catalan, Basque) and foreign languages.
Unlike other baby name guides, this book does not differentiate between two sections for boys and girls, but they are all listed in alphabetical order. However, there is at the beginning of the work an index with all the masculine and feminine names separately, to facilitate the search.
Each entry specifies the origin, the meaning of the name, other derived names, the name day, its history of evolution and uses over the centuries and a mention of related famous people.
I have found interesting the fact that data are provided on the etymology of the name and on the reasons why the saint is celebrated on a specific day, giving biographical data of the character in question, or why a name became popular on a certain date determined …
In addition, the book includes a color insert with the “Letter to our baby” , in which parents can write to their future child, telling him how was the decision of his name or any wishes or feelings they have during pregnancy.
It also includes illustrations of dolls in the shape of animals, in black and white (which will surely lend themselves to coloring the little ones when they grow up). In short, a book that combines practical information and curiosities so that we have all the necessary data to find our son’s name right.
The book “The best names for your baby” is published by the Oniro publishing house in the collection “The child and his world” and costs 14’95 euros (in electronic format ePub we can get it for 9’99 euros). It has 232 pages and the binding is rustic with flaps.
