Don't Name Your Baby: What's Wrong with Every Name in the Book : Cumberland House Publishing : 9781581821918 : 1581821913 : 02 Aug 2001 : Choosing a name is one of the first things expectant parents do. Thus, David Narter has created Don't Name Your Baby: What's Wrong with Every Name in the Book as a help to parents-to-be as they consider a name for their newborn. Here at last is the book that recognizes that choosing what not to name a baby is probably as important as choosing its name.A name affects who a person will become -- a lousy name is almost always the doorway to a lousy childhood. Parents should know their child will be harassed, no matter what name is given, but they must also consider the potential downside of the names they are pondering for their child. Sample entries are: -- Amy: Amy has such a cutesy, juvenile feel that most girls named Amy never get promoted past third grade. -- Andrea: Oh my God! Means manly"" in Greek. -- Charles: Prince Charles has ruined this name
