Inspired Baby Names From Around The World Book Review



With all the hype from the Royal family finally naming their daughter to movie stars and their unique baby names, it's a lot of work coming up with a name. Each child will be stuck with that name for the rest of their lives.

My husband and I took months to come up with names for our children. I do not like my name, never have. For awhile, in high school I went by my middle name. I loved that. We knew that a name is very important.

So many ways to help you come up with a name. Asking friends and family. Hearing a name in a store, that just catches your fancy. Your favorite movie star. Any of those way are great. But when all else fails....turn to a book.

I loved looking through baby name books. I was able to find the meaning of the name. So many variations of each name. We have 6 children and only 1 is spelled the "normal" way. But his name isn't one you hear everyday so I was ok with it.

We loved the name Marissa but my mother in law kept telling us she was going to call her Mary. So I came up with a way that she could not. Our oldest daughter is Myrissa. In no way can you get Mary out of it. We do not shorten our kids names.

This book says Marisa means beloved, love, seas mistress, bitter sea, rebellious, well, nourished, healthy, myrrh, of the sea. It also shows that it is the Spanish and Italian form of Maria.

I love this part...they it says. This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment. Philippians 1:9 (KJV)

6,000 International Names and the Meaning behind them. by Neala Shane

I thought this book was unique in that each name came with a scripture verse.

You can purchase this book from Amazon for $16.65

Untimed- Orangeberry Book Tour Review

Image
Untimed is an action-packed time travel novel by Andy Gavin, author of The Darkening Dream and creator of Crash Bandicoot and Jak & Daxter. Charlie’s the kind of boy that no one notices. Hell, his own mother can’t remember his name. So when a mysterious clockwork man tries to kill him in modern day Philadelphia, and they tumble through a hole into 1725 London, Charlie realizes even the laws of time don’t take him seriously. Still, this isn’t all bad. Who needs school when you can learn about history first hand, like from Ben Franklin himself. And there’s this girl… Yvaine… another time traveler. All good. Except for the rules: boys only travel into the past and girls only into the future. And the baggage: Yvaine’s got a baby boy and more than her share of ex-boyfriends. Still, even if they screw up history — like accidentally let the founding father be killed — they can just time travel and fix it, right? But the future they return to is nothing like Charlie remembers. To set th...
