BabyNames.com Announces 'The One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book'

    LOS ANGELES, July 8 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, actress Nicole Kidman
 released the name of her new baby daughter: Sunday Rose. According to "The
 One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book" (Perigee Press, ISBN 978-0-399-53430-0),
 people think of the name Sunday as a person who is intelligent, caring,
 pretty, creative and artsy.
 
     Released this week, "The One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book" includes a
 chapter on celebrity baby names, as well as celebrity real names, royal
 names, fictional names, sports names, and first-hand stories from parents
 on how they chose their children's names.
 
     Written by BabyNames.com founder and renowned baby name consultant
 Jennifer Moss, the new book offers these guidelines for expectant parents
 in choosing their own one-in-a-million baby name:
 
 

     -- Family histories and traditions: Does the name mean something special
     to you and/or your family members? Have you considered family names for
     first and middle names?
     -- Spelling and ease of use: Is this name easy to spell? Is it easy to
     pronounce? A girl named "Gennyphyr" will be destined to spend a lot of
     time spelling out her name and to suffer the reactions of people unused to
     creatively spelled names.
     -- Popularity and saturation: Are you choosing a truly unique name or
     simply following the trends? Where is the name ranked on popularity lists?
     Take into consideration that names that are popular today may seem dated
     30 years from now.
     -- Jokes, puns, and teasing potential: Will your child be teased because
     of the name, or due to his or her initials? Is it funny to you? Does the
     name rhyme with something teasable?
     -- Pronunciation, rhythm and flow: How does the first name sound when
     combined with your last name? Is it too choppy, or too long?
 
     "Usually day names represent the day the child is born," says Moss,
 "maybe she just came a day late!" Jennifer adds, "Sunday is not yet trendy,
 nor is it popular -- yet! It may go the path of Jaden (like Will Smith's
 son) and become one of the top names, or it may stay in the 'Apple'
 category, where it's just considered pretty, but unusual."
 
     "The One-in-a-Million Baby Name Book" was released on July 1st and can
 be found at Amazon.com and major bookstores.
