Book Description
All children should be blessed with the glorious gift of a beautiful Christian name. For any Christian child, it is imperative. What could compare to the blessing of a friend in heaven to pray for a child's soul throughout his or her earthly life? The Complete Christian Baby Name Book was compiled lovingly over the course of several years by a Catholic mother who always hoped to find one complete list of Christian baby names. She took all known sources of Catholic names from The Roman Martyrology, Rev. Dunne's work, Is It a Saint's Name? And Butler's extensive Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints to create one extensive, easily accessible reference book. The Complete Christian Baby Name Book also includes name meanings, ethnic origins of names, and the corresponding saint's feast day to add to the fun of choosing baby names. This book can also be used in finding saint names for confirmation or the religious life.
