So it's come to this: You, raised on Sesame Street, disco, and double-digit inflation. You, with the living room full of cheap Swedish furniture and the decade-old college loan. You, with the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants home-based business and the growing video-game collection. You've just had your ticket to Grown-up Land punched. You're going to have a baby ... So what are you going to name the kid? First things first: You don't want to repeat your parents' mistakes. No Mountain Moonglow or-heaven forbid-Jennifer. And you understand about image, the need to establish an identity. You want a name that is out of the ordinary but not weird. You want advice from someone who speaks your language and has an innate radar for trends, a book that has an aura of authority yet a true sense of what is cool. Something like Puffy, Xena, Quentin, Uma. * 10,000 names from A to Z complete with origins, definitions, and interesting spelling variations: Annie, Annee, Anney, Anni, Anny * Names inspired by today's culture: Axl, Neve, Savion * Tips, trivia, and trends-and what celebrity Gen Xers are naming their kids: Gillian Anderson named her daughter Piper; ex-New Kid Donnie Wahlberg named his son Xavier * "Crib" notes: chock-full of classic names for each letter of the alphabet-and names you should seriously think about before tagging on to your kid * What makes a good name, names to think twice about, and names that look like keepers * Middle names, sound checks, Websites, and much more.… (more)
