Description

Pick up a celebrity magazine and you'll see that the art of naming babies has reached new heights of self-expression, with recent choices like Apple, Shiloh, Sailor, and notably, Elijah Bob Patricius Guggi Q. Hewson. Today's Millennial generation baby namers want their young ones' monikers to reflect something deeply meaningful and personal. Where better to draw inspiration than the books they cherish and the characters they love? A IS FOR ATTICUS mines the classics for the best names and brings them all into one volume. Each of the 470 names (including Beckett after the Irish playwright Samuel Beckett and Esme from J.D. Salinger's For Esme with Love and Squalor) are profiled for their popularity, modern appeal, and cultural significance. Fun sidebars guide parents to the perfect name for their perfect baby.
