Why do people whose names start with the letter "I" become doctors at four times the rate of those with "O" names? Why do the Johns, Peters, Katherines, and Janines of the world consistently earn more money than their counterparts named Cody, Austin, or Alex? Why does "Emma" evoke stronger romantic feelings than "Kate"? The Secret Universe of Namesexplains these phenomena and more in alphabetical chapters that explore the personality effects of specific letter combinations in names. While Roy Feinson offers research to support his conclusions, the entertainment value of his theories probably far outweighs any practical application. Give the great big (8½"x11"x1½"), illustrated (317 photographs of famous bearers of certain names) book to a couple considering names for their baby-to-be. Or leave it out on a table or shelf: all comers will be intrigued—and each one will immediately look up his or her own name!
