And did you know that you can name your son in honor of the Virgin Mary? David, Miles, and Tristan are just a few of the many Marian names that are perfect for boys! In Catholic Baby Names for Girls and Boys: 250 Ways to Honor Mary, Katherine Morna Towne has turned her ardent faith and passion for the fascinating history behind the origin of names into required reading for all Catholic couples welcoming children and even teens trying to decide on a Confirmation name! This useful, informative and illuminating guide to Catholic names is must have for all families and an interesting window into the history of our faith."-- From publisher's description.
