Book Review: Best Baby Names From Australia and New Zealand
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

Over 1200 names from around the world.



Looking for a name for your forthcoming bundle of joy? Want something a little different than Adam or Matthew or Sarah? The Collins Gem Best baby Names offers more than 1200 names from around the world, from Abby to Zygmunta and from Aaron to Zygmunt. In between there are plenty of choices. What about Mila (meaning loveable), of Slavonic origin? Or Harun, an Arabic name meaning ‘exalted’?

An introduction gives some pointers about how to choose a name and a calendar reference offers a boy’s and a girl’s name for every day of the year.

This pocket sized offering is sure to be a help for parents struggling with this important task.
