"Distinguishing a child in just the right way is the first task parents feel charged with. Accordingly, parents-to-be increasingly track the popularity of names on the Social Security Administration's Web site and canvas the cottage industry of baby-name books. About 50 such books were published between 1990 and 1996. Since 1997, more than 100 new books have been published." (PSYCHOLOGY TODAY)) The author examines some of the trends in name selection and discusses the effect a name can have on one's self-perception.
