'The New Age Baby Name Book'

I came across a book called "The New Age Baby Name Book."


I had hoped to mock the names therein...until I saw that both Elliot and Alice are included. Oh no, am I a "New Age" parent?

In fact, Alice even gets a pullquote.


Maybe it's more a case of a bad title. I'm pretty sure the whole New Age thing doesn't appeal much anymore — even here in Berkeley (especially if you're trying to target people of babymaking age). It's also a bad sign that the dad on the cover has a mustache and what appears to be a pinwheel necktie.

Aside from the cover, the book actually seemed pretty good. But then again, should you trust a naming resource that couldn't come up with a good name for itself?
