The choice of the baby name can be a desired or feared moment, although what we usually agree on is that we are not sure about it. The future mother bets on some names, the father on others, the family also has their opinion ... To facilitate this task there are a new guide to decide your child's name: "The best names for your baby", from Oniro.
It is a complete and current guide that helps us to take that first step that will give identity to the baby and will accompany him during his life. It contains more than 3,000 names, boy (1502) and girl (1655), of all origins, and with their equivalences in other peninsular languages (Galician, Catalan, Basque) and foreigners.
Unlike other baby name guides, this book does not differentiate two sections for boys and girls, but they all appear in alphabetical order. However, there is at the beginning of the work a index with all male and female names separately, to facilitate the search.
Each entry specifies the origin, the meaning of the name, other derivative names, the onomastics, its history of evolution and uses throughout the centuries and a mention of the related famous characters.
I found it interesting 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 was popularized on a date determined ...
In addition, the book includes a color insert with the "Letter to our baby", in which the parents will be able to write to their future child, telling him how the decision of his name was or any desire or feelings that 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 children when they grow up). In short, a book that combines practical information and curiosities so that we have all the necessary data to get the name of our son.
The book "The best names for your baby" is published by the publisher Oniro in the collection "The boy 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.
