Excerpt from The Child's Name: A Collection of Nearly Five Hundred Uncommon and Beautiful Names for Children; With an Introduction on the Tasteful Use of Christian Names In preparing ibis little book the author had many purposes in view. The first and most Important was to meet the popular and increasing demand on the part of parents and guardians for uncommon and beautiful names. It was felt that most parents do not know where to find such names; or, if they do, have not the time to hunt for them. The latter class is apt to be larger than we think. I did not dream, in undertaking the work of selecting beautiful names, that so many volumes would have to be examined in order to obtain the present collection.
