It's unlikely that our parents ever looked up any of our names in one of those baby name books. The Riverside Shakespeare had obviously been the repository of choice. Once Rose had a summer camp counselor who, as an icebreaker, looked up the meanings of all the children's names, and Rosalind was horrified to learn her name meant, yes, "beautiful rose," but also "horse serpent." If that won't give a girl body image issues for life, we don't know what will.
The Weird Sisters by Eleanore Brown
This book wasn't very good so don't bother reading it. The idea was great but poorly executed.
