Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Hardback. Slight mark to edge. Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. How to assess your own name or the name you have chosen for your child. This book contains the most comprehensive collection of facts and figures ever assembled about the first names of the English-speaking world. You will find it fascinating, absorbing - and important. For this information - now made available for the first time - will change the way you think about your own first name and those of other people. The book falls naturally into three main sections. Beginning with some of the psychological aspects of first names, taking in nicknames, role names and the supernatural poers that are often attributed to personal names. The author then turns to the historical development of first names. This ranges from the Norman 'Name Conquest' of 1066 to the new names created this century. Included in this chronological survey are the formation of some of our surnames from first names, the subsequent use of surnames as first names, the extraordinary Puritan names of the seventeenth century and the emergence of pet names in the eighteenth century. A chapter on the names that were fashionable in Britain and America a hundred years ago completes this historical section. The third section brings first names into the twentieth century. Modern trends, such as the spelling of old names in a fancy way or the invention of new names - especially for girls - are fully discussed. 285 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).…
