More from the book.
Jul. 2nd, 2008 12:42 am"Biblical names, especially for boys, have been among the hottest of the hot for several decades now. And as one generation of names - Benjamin and Adam and Daniel, for instance - becomes widely used, parents turn to more unusual choices. Now, even the long-grey-beard names of the Old Testament prophets, Abraham and Moses, sound young and fresh again. Here's the latest group of biblical names heating up for boys."
"They're a bold lot, these Irish boys, elbowing their way into the center of the baby naming arena. But how could we ignore them, with luminaries like Liam Neeson to Aidan Quinn, Conan O'Brien to Malachy McCourt claiming our attention? Whether they've captured our hearts by force of energy or charm we're not sure. Big brothers Brian and Ryan, Kevin and Sean may be fading away, but the new Irish Rogues are the bad-boy names everyone loves to love."
