The Perfect Baby Name : Finding the Name that Sounds Just Right
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The Perfect Baby Name is a guide to choosing a first name that sounds good with your last name. Names that are pleasing to the ear are easy to remember-and if people remember your name, they think of you first for party invitations, job referrals, and social introductions. A great-sounding name can make your child more popular and successful in life. Just think of how many memorable celebrity names repeat similar sounds, like Lucy Liu, Wayne Brady, and Elvis Presley.
Using the most basic rules of poetry and phonetics, The Perfect Baby Name shows you how to examine your surname by the sum of its parts--consonants, vowels, syllables, and accents--and match it with a complimentary first name. Once you have learned this simple technique, you can turn to the lists of first names with pronunciation guides, organized by sounds and rhythms.
Here's how it works with the surname Green: Break down the sounds: G, R, long E, and N. These are the four different sounds (or phonemes) in that name. Now refer to those four different lists in the back of the book. The G list has names like Hugo and Morgan... The R list has Rex and Aurora... The E (long) list, Eli and Alicia... The N list, Nathaniel and Lindy... All of these names sound good with Green, so now it's just a matter of personal preference. If your last name happens to be Green, simply scan the lists for the name you like best and choose your perfect match.
