Hey You: Kiwi Compendium of Baby Names

Good condition, a little bit of bending to the book but otherwise great

Like most people, you probably want to consider na mes for your new baby sooner rather than later. Scrolling through the possibilities is, after all, one of the upsides of pregnancy - no weight gain, bouts of nausea, leg cramps, or nana pants inv olved. Hey, You is a must-have manual for naming your newborn tha t takes a humorous yet down-to-earth approach that not only inclu des thousands of names, but most importantly encourages you to ha ve fun and enjoy the process of naming your baby. What makes it d ifferent from all the other books out there is that it also provi des heaps of useful background information about your legal oblig ations, and how to avoid unintentional gaffes (spare a thought fo r the likes of Bridget Una Morrison, Samuel Oliver Dixon, Pauline Iris Gregory, and Frederick Alan Gardener ...their parents obvio usly didn't). As for current fashions in names, there is plenty o f fodder here - everything from the tame yet traditional through to the downright dubious! Coming up with the right name is one of the special pleasures in life, a creative process that allows yo u to dream, explore and experiment - and a good name makes a grea t gift that will last a lifetime. .
