  Features which are new to this seventh edition of a reference book on proper names include advice on remembering someone's name, taking a husband's surname, and why people choose particular names for their children. The book also includes quotes on surnames, a name-day section which looks at the association of first names with particular days of the year, and an updated feature which charts the changing popularity of different names through the ages. The top 50 names of 1994 are listed.
