About this book

This book takes a look at the names we create for ourselves. It considers names in general and pseudonyms and changed names in particular, with a generous helping of name stories and tales behind well-known names (often told in the words of the personalities themselves). It also includes lists of names, both arranged in categories and in a Who's Who index.
