This is the largest collection of baby names available in Australia (and possibly the world!). Modern, traditional and global names are represented to give new parents a culturally diverse and imaginative range of baby names. Each name has an easy-to-understand meaning and includes the widest array of spelling variations. Names have been taken from 220 different languages, from continents Europe, the Americas, Asia, Australia, to island nations Western Samoa and Fiji to create a totally comprehensive selection. As well as modern creative names, the ancient languages are all well represented including some exotic choices from Assyrian to Gothic or Phoenician!
Lori Cooper's Australian/Native American heritage partly led to her interest in names. She spent over four years researching and compiling this book. Her aim was to include all the traditional names and also feature multicultural names that she could not find in other baby names books.
