Amazon.com For expectant parents， it's part of the tradition to pore endlessly over baby-name books searching for the perfect moniker. Names carry stereotypes， vary in perceived attractiveness (a blond bombshell named Gertrude?)， and help influence how we see ourselves. As Sigmund Freud once said， "A human being's name is a principal component in her person， perhaps a piece of his soul." In Beyond Jennifer and Jason， Madison and Montana， name experts Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran present a baby-name book that goes far beyond the usual name lists and definitions. Satran and Rosenkrantz provide a thorough history of American naming traditions， discuss the psychological and sociological impact of names， and， yes， include list after list after list of possibilities organized into categories: popular names， old-fashioned names， comfy names， yuppie names， African-American names， androgynous names， Shakespearean names， unpopular names， creative names， mythological names， effective and ineffective middle names， classical names... and so on. Annotated with humorous notes， descriptions， quotes， and name-derivation definitions， the book is a fun and fascinating read even for those not debating between Gravity and Jane or Mason and Hendrick. --Ericka Lutz --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
