What's in a name?
WHEN the subject of naming a new arrival comes up, everyone seems to have an opinion on the one which will best suit.
But expectant parents need only consult each other, as well as the pages of a modern compilation of inspiration, including the traditional to the creative.
Babies' Names by Julia Cresswell includes Arabic and Indian titles for 2008, as well as spelling variations and short forms, to ensure you know exactly what your little one will spend their life answering to. Babies' Names is published by Collins, costs £5.99, and is available now.
