"What WERE your parents THINKING?" Is this the first
question your children will hear, all their lives, when
they introduce themselves? Your name can be your fortune.
Or not. And yet your personal name, the one you will
carry before you all your life, the key to your
personality, will be chosen by people who don't even know
you. Your parents. Only Absolutely Ultimate Book of Names
- or what not to call the baby can put this right. First
published as Favourite Names for Boys and Girls in 1983.
It achieved such resounding and immediate success that a
titled More Favourite Names for Boys and Girls, was
published the following year. The world is now one of
political correctness and `crazy names'. The time is
right for Absolutely Ultimate Book of Names - or what not
to call the baby. Patrick Cook's brilliant book The
Absolutely Ultimate Book of Names - or what not to call
the baby is as informative and insightful as it is
hilarious. A must for all parents to be. Of course, when
your baby is born, any name other than Angel, Wonderous
One, or Most Perfect Baby On the Planet, seem profoundly
inadequate. If you are looking for inspiration The
Absolutely Ultimate Book of Names - or what not to call
the baby is vital. This is a laugh out loud, tears
spurting to the eyes, inspired, wicked, mischievous joy
of a book. Patrick Cook is a brilliant satirist who many
consider to be one of Australia's national treasures.
He's at his funniest best in The Absolutely Ultimate Book
of Names - or what not to call the baby.
