From the Author:

HOW A BABY-NAME EXPERT IS BORN
So, what are my qualifications to write a baby-name book? Well, for one thing, I used to be a baby. And for another thing, I have a name. (My Kryptonian-sounding moniker was created by my parents -- "Jo" from John, "al" from Alice.) Plus, I've got opinions that I'm not afraid to share -- particularly, if you're considering naming the kid, say, "Barnaby." Actually, my bottom line on baby names is: There is no such thing as a "bad" one. There are just varying degrees of therapy bills.

Read, enjoy -- and good luck.

-- J.R.
