Synopsis
One of the first things that we acquire when we enter this world is a name. We carry it everywhere as a badge of our individuality. Creation myths tell of the human desire and power to name everything. And these qualities that define our humanness are nowhere better exhibited than in our desire and power to name ourselves. The first part of this book spotlights those names, exploring how first names came about and what they mean, why we acquired last names and nicknames, how and why people change their names, hidden patterns of presidents' names, and how proper names from history and literature become lowercase words that populate our everyday vocabulary. In the second part, readers will step right up to a three ring-a-ding circus of names-names swinging from tent-tops, teetering on tightropes, swallowing swords and breathing fire, somersaulting heels over head, and going for the juggler!, Almost everyone of earth has a name. In The Joy of Names, best-selling language author Richard Lederer reveals all you need to know about first names, baby names, last names, nicknames, cruel and unusual names, movie stars' names, presidents' names, eponymous names, names from myths, authors' pseudonyms, and other fascinating facts about names. In The Joy of Names you'll find the answers to such questions as: What are the oldest names we have on record? What are the most popular baby names, and why are baby names diversifying so rapidly? What are the most common ways that we form last names? How did Sarah become Sadie, William Bill, Robert Bob, and Richard Dick? How do nicknames come about, and why are sports nicknames disappearing? Why do so many entertainers take on stage names? Can a person's name influence what he or she becomes? Do animals use names? And much more. Richard Lederer, who is often called "Learning Dressed Up to Have Fun," makes all these topics delightfully accessible. The illustrations by Todd Smith help bring the information to vibrant life.
