Fiction writers: have you ever created a secondary character -- personality, appearance, attitude
-- but got stuck when trying to decide on a name? If so, the Baby Name Personality Survey will be
indespensible.

Unlike other Baby Name books, this one lists what the general public thinks of
when hearing a specific name. Face it, we all have preconceived notions of people with certain
names; for example, how do you picture a Bubba? or a Percy? Based on surveys, this book will tell
you what the average person thinks upon hearing a given name. In many cases, it also mentions the
probable reason. For example, how many people picture "Andy" as a good-natured country boy -- a la
Andy Griffith? Or "Scarlett" as an independent, somewhat fiery young woman, like Scarlett O'Hara in
Gone With The Wind?

The Baby Name Personality Survey also gives food for thought for new and
expectant parents. With thorough research and a wealth of material, this book is a great selection
if you need to know what image people have of specific names.
