Hewson. Baby namers today want monikers that reflect something personal. Where better to draw inspiration than the books you cherish and the characters you love?

    Classic Names for your baby¿

    Are you looking for just the right name for your new baby? Perhaps you would like something unusual or something classic? A Is For Atticus is chocked full of classic names. I was surprised that neither my name, nor my husband¿s, nor any of my children¿s names were listed in this book. I suppose I was not imaginative enough. I loved many of the names listed and, of course, hated several. Before naming your baby, take a look at A Is For Atticus you just might find the perfect name.

    Buy it.

    I love this book. The names in this book are different, without being crazy. The author provides interesting, in-depth information about each name. My only complaint is that I wish the author had kept writing. I'd like to have seen a few more names in the book.
