Opis

We all enjoy coming across an unusual or humorous name of a person. Tressanela Noosepickle Where Are You Now? treats this subject chapter by chapter from various perspectives. For example, wacky names given by overzealous parents after the birth of a baby; names that eerily relate to the owner's occupation; names that most certainly have to be one-of-a-kind, and much more.
The final chapter entitled "On the Naughty Side" gives the reader a look at some people's names that are highly suggestive in the idiom of today.
The book consists of 155 pages and is written in a personal, humorous style with which the author shares his thoughts with the reader. The author has been a collector of off-beat names (he calls himself an "onomatomaniac") and anecdotes involving same for many years.
Tressanela Noosepickle Where Are You Now? is a page-turner and is surely entertaining to people who particularly get a kick out of encountering an odd name, which includes just about all of us.
