Here's an irreverent twist on a perennial gift book genre: the baby name book meets the weird, unusual, otherworldly realm of science fiction.
Sci-Fi Baby Names compiles 500 distinctive names from sci-fi books, movies, and TV shows into a handy reference with a crazy, retro, sci-fi design. Think babies on rocket ships! Babies with laser guns! Babies on Mars!
This book has something for everyone. Many sci-fi fans will feel comfortable naming a child Luke, Robbie, or James Tiberius to honor their favourite characters. But a few fans will boldly go where no parents have gone before- with outlandish names like Zardoz, Klaatu, and Davros.
For quick reference, the names are organized by type:
• Traditional Names (James, Hal, Peter)
• Masculine Names (Buck, Flash, Luke)
• Feminine Names (Sarah, Leia, Aura, Ariel)
• Power Names (Ripley, Morpheus)
• Intelligent Names (Cornelius, Truman, Trinity, Yoda)
• Exotic Names (Xenu, Davros, Zardoz)
• Last Names First (Kirk, Lucas, Connor)
Entries will be concise, consisting of the name, its geographic and textual origin (e.g., the fictional planet and book/movie/TV show where it originated), a brief explanation, and in some cases common variations, a quotation, or a bit of trivia.
