The Terrible Baby Name Book

Are you expecting a bundle of joy and at a loss what to call the thing? The Terrible Baby Name Book offers a vast array of names and inspiration to never name your little one.

As you begin your journey to parenthood, everyone from your parents and friends to the mailman and possibly the guy who knocked up your wife or husband has an opinion on the perfect name for your baby. Anyone can reject such passe names as Michael, Oliva, Nebuchadnezzar, and Heather, but remember the name you bestow upon your newborn will mold them over the course of the rest of his, her, of their life. What pitfalls await if you name your child Airport, Baguette, Epiphany, Raisin, or Waterloo?  What names guarantee years of therapy in which this in the womb decision is the source of all their problems?
