Five-Star Baby Name Advisor is a
unique and invaluable book for parents who want to select a
name that will give their child a head start in life. It
contains more helpful information about each name than any
other book�starting with star ratings (like the ones used to
rate movies, hotels, and mutual funds). Most name
books are basically lists of names that include origin and
meaning. This unique book gives parents lots of help in
deciding which name to choose for their baby. Here is a
list of all the features you�ll find in the book. Notice
that most of the features (marked with an asterisk) can�t be
found in any other book; and two features marked with
asterisks can only be found in name books by Bruce Lansky:
-star rating* -origin -meaning -gender
usage** (showing whether names are used primarily for boys,
primarily for girls, or equally for both) -first
impressions** (what images come to mind when names are
called in school or seen on job applications)
-popularity rankings and recent trends* -spelling
difficulty* -pronunciation difficulty* -versatility*
(availability of versions of the name for informal and
formal social occasions) -the most famous namesakes
-common nicknames -common variations -final
considerations* (pros and cons)
Selling Points 1. This book contains more
helpful information about the most popular names than any
other book. 2. It�s designed to help parents choose
a name that will give their child a head start in life�and
be a pleasure to live with (for both child and parent)
3. Each name starts with a 5-star rating (used to
rate movies, hotels, and mutual funds). 4. The book
provides a quick summary of the first impression the name
makes on people when they hear the name or see it in print.
5. The book also tells readers whether the name is
usually used mainly for boys, mainly for girls, or equally
for both. 6. It also includes the name�s popularity
ranking and recent trend. 7. You�ll also find out
how likely people are to misspell and/or mispronounce the
name. 8. And, how versatile the name is both for
formal and informal occasions. 9. The book only
lists the most important famous namesakes which may affect
the name�s image. 10. And it only lists the most common
nicknames and variations (rather than a seemingly endless
list). 11. Finally, Lansky provides advice that alerts
readers to any problems or special considerations the name
may have that would affect their choice. 12. If you
don�t already know, Lansky is by far the leading author of
baby name books. His name books have sold over 8.5 million
copies. 13. It really is the smart new way to name a
baby.
