About this deal

This book is more than 10 years old, so if you’re looking to blow people away with a modern choice of baby name – quirky spellings and all – think again. That said, there are plenty of lovely traditional and unusual names in here and we really liked the layout, finding it simple and clear to navigate. There are 5,000 names here with definitions and facts accompanying each one.

The middle section offers lists of inspiration from film stars to royals and even famous social media celebrities – such lists might as easily help you work out what you aren’t looking for. Choosing a title for a book, like any other product, is not easy. Title and design are two factors that come into play first when selling a book. The design allows the book to stand out from the crowd, like a bright flower on a green field. This is all the more true on the Internet, where a 120px thumbnail can do a lot. The title should, firstly, interest the reader, and even better - intrigue, while, secondly, be completely understandable, not misleading, clearly answer the question of what the book is about, and, thirdly, be unique to be in a search engine. There is a lot of literature in the world that tells novice authors about how and what to write, what the plot, characters, language, images and design should be. But there is not a single book that would tell about the most important thing - how to come up with a name! But it is the title, not the content, that makes the book successful! Having written a book, the author can breathe a sigh of relief. The work is done, and now it only remains to agree on its publication. But before sending the manuscript to the publisher, the writer still needs to choose a title for his masterpiece. A creative, catchy, catchy headline will draw publishers, editors and literary agents to your creation. And when the work appears on book shelves, readers will not pass by it either. How to come up with a title for a book so that people pay attention to it, in this material. Object Name Books for the general revision of the County Series 1:2500 (25-inch) scale mapping are in OS 35 In 1964 OS decided to embark on a full metrication programme for all National Grid large-scale mapping. By 1969 ministerial approval had been obtained for metrication of the height and area data on new and revised maps at 1:1250 and 1:2500 scales, and the first maps were published in the 1:10,000 Series replacing the 1:10,560 (6-inch). Metrication of the small scale 1:63,360 (one-inch) followed with the production of the First Series 1:50,000 maps (largely based on a photographic enlargement of the existing Seventh Series 1:63,360 mapping on new sheet lines), and the Second Series 1:50,000 maps which incorporated design and content changes in keeping with administrative area changes (Local Government Reorganisation Act, 1972), changing market needs and technological developments.

Make a list of descriptive words: What is your story about? Who is the main character? What objects are used throughout? Where is your story set? These are all things you might want to think about when making a list of words that describe your story. This list will come in handy when writing your own book title.

These ONBs relate to the National Grid Series mapping which was created in the period after the Second World War in accordance with the recommendations of the Davidson Committee.

How to come up with book title ideas

Keep it relevant: Your book title must have some relevance to your storyline or plot. Don’t go completely off-topic, by giving your book a title that just sounds, ‘cool’, but has no meaning behind it. For instance, you wouldn’t want to read a story called Forbidden Dragons that has no references to dragons in the story at all – How disappointing would that be! c) The sheets of the small scale mapping at 1:50,000 are numbered 1-204 inclusive and relate to the Landranger Series numbering. These sheet lines were established to cover the country in the most economical way, and some are close matches to the old Seventh Series 1:63,360 (one-inch) sheet lines. Hence in 1972 some Seventh Series ONBs were renumbered and the content extended to suit the 1:50,000 Series; others were dismantled and appropriate sheets included in a new 1:50,000 Series book. Some books hone in on a certain attribute – gender neutral names, say – which mean you are cutting out any names that don’t fit your remit before you’ve even begun. Others are a straightforward “dictionary” incorporating names from all over the globe and spanning centuries.
