Rosie Styles, of The Baby Naming Society, has written the Foreword for this extensive and insightful book, and says;
' ... Caroline Sherwood's Naming is a completely new and far more useful approach in which the meanings of names are the prime focus. With a deep respect for language, she offers a fresh way for parents to set about finding the right name for their child. This is a much needed addition to the naming books already available, and will delight anyone facing the enormous task of naming their child, or those with an interest in names.'


'A true name offers a bridge between 'you' and 'me'. We should be glad of such a book which shows a way beyond labelling towards a naming of essence and potential in the children who come to us.'

Paul Matthews, author Sing Me the Creation
