Incipit

In the fifteen years since we began writing about names, the world of baby naming has mushroomed from a sleepy little enterprise, with parents naming their children Jennifer and Jason and wondering whether there might be anything more exciting out there, to an adventurous and intelligent and style-concious activity in which parents investigate their ancestors' native lands to atlases and even dictionaries for names that are ever more inventive, individual, and enlightened.

A name can remind you of your hopes and fears way back when childbirth was a point on the horizon, but your child - the one who's laughing or crawling or walking across the room in his own special way - can remind you that Henry by any other name, be it Michael or Melchizedek, would still be your own sweet boy.
