The largest collection of baby names in the world! Modern, traditional and global names give new parents a culturally diverse and imaginative range of baby names.
Lori Cooper lives in Australia with her husband and their twins. Lori has written 75,000+ Baby Names for the 21st Century, recently updated with a much more pleasing cover featuring only one baby. She has also written several other baby name books (yet to be published). Her goal for 75,000+ Baby Names for the 21st Century was to gather a large collection of names from all over the world to make it the biggest multicultural book on baby names. Lori's love of names continues with the just completed books Beautiful Baby Names and Name your House, (both yet to find a publisher).
"Name your House is something completely different. Since buying my own home I searched and searched for the perfect name for our cottage but had to write a book to find the information in order to do that. There wasn't much available in that line of house naming books. We finally settled on 'Biggletree' for the big-old-tree that stands sentry in our front yard." 10,000 House Names is now out of print but Lori hopes to find a publisher soon for the book Name your House. This book is full of names, meanings, origins, most popular property names, how to display your hous ename plaque, types of signs and so much more.
Lori has previously worked in a men's medium security prison and even at the notorious Woomera and Curtin Detention Centres-far removed from the safe oasis of writing. She is married with twins, a boy and a girl and resides near the Blue Mountains in NSW, Australia.
Having a myriad of names to choose from how on earth did she manage to name her twins?
"We all have names that we gather into a bundle in our mind and carry through our childhood and adult life. It's when our first born, or in our case, when our twins were born that those names became unbundled and set free. For me, I always loved Brielle, a name that was stolen from me by a 'friend'..no I am not bitter...much! LOL My other favorites for girl names were Sophie, Olivia and Arabella. For the boys we only liked Sonny, Thomas and Jack. We decided on Sophie and Sonny and have never regretted it."
Lori's plans for the future include having more baby name books published, her house name book published and to set up a website to promote her books.
