A brand-new edition of this best-selling guide to over 1,500 first names. Gem Babies’ Names gives the origins of each name, and also lists the most popular girls’ and boys’ names in Britain today. The ideal pocket guide to choosing a name for your baby. Have you recently named your child Emily or Jack? If you have, you have chosen the most popular name in England and Wales in 2003.
