Molvania is just north of Bulgaria and downwind from Chernobyl. This is the funniest book about baby names you will ever read: every name available from European republic Molvania, birthplace of the polka and whooping cough. Are you stuck on what to call your new pride and joy How about: BRUZVYLIZ - Bruce Willis; JINKZTA - Unlucky; MAYKUPPUTYANA - Fun Girl (literally - 'Heavily made-up prostitute') There are hundreds of unique and meaningful names for any new baby. You're sure to be the envy of all the other mums with a Molvanian baby name!
""In format and page layout, this inspired send-up of a travel guide looks exactly like the real thing, and it displays an acute feel for all the cliches of the genre." --"New Yorker "on" Molvania
