The up-to-the-minute word on what’s hot and what’s not in naming babies.

Every new parent faces the dilemma of what to call their baby – should you stick to traditional? Or come up with something unfamiliar?

Cool names for babies is the definitive guide to what names are cool and how to choose one for your child, packed with info not only on today's popular choices, but more importantly on how to use your imagination and source names from the past, from art, place names, literature, colours, nature, rap names – and even video games! How about taking the Beckham's place-name route, but opting for something a little more exotic such as Sahara or Everest? Or why not try revamping a more common name by changing the initial letter so that Bailey, for example, becomes Zailey?

More and more parents want more unusual ideas which are not catered for in traditional babies' names books – this is the title for them.
