Finally, for alternaparents everywhere, the baby-naming book that will ensure that your baby has the coolest, most unique name on the playground.
 Ashley and Jaden? Over. Atari, Bedford, Sailor, Puma? Oh-so-in. Indie-leaning alternaparents of every kind, from geeks to Goths, are all grown up and procreating, and they want names that reflect the individuality they pride themselves on. Hello, My Name Is Pabst shows them how to put their stamp on baby-naming, injecting fun into what can be an otherwise contentious process. Names are thematically arranged into lists including "Names You Can Drink at the Bar" (Jager, Hennessey), "Names That Fit Into Skinny Jeans" (Vette, Plank), "Vegan and Gluten-Free Names" (Miso, Quinoa), and "Names to CTRL+C and CTRL+V" (Adobe, Helvetica). Also included are "tipsters" for sparking naming creativity, such as opening a box of crayons or scanning the credits of a foreign film. Pabst presents a whole new approach to baby-naming for a whole new generation of parents who want names that look good on a tote bag and kick ass at the playground.

      In this bizarre compilation of alternative baby names, Bruno and Sparks concern themselves with such issues as whether or not your kid will have a unique username on social networking sites (John Smith probably being taken, they advise) and seem to give much credence to whether or not your friends will be jealous. They also advocate adding, subtracting, and switching letters for new variations on traditional names, e.g., Jaek instead of Jake or Jills instead of Jill. Organized into categories such as "Names That Will Grow Into a Mustache" and "Names That Fit Into Skinny Jeans," readers will find everything from "Zippo" to "Schmatz" (Schmatz? Seriously?). VERDICT This book would make Gwyneth Paltrow blush--no amount of hermeneutics can save it.
