Mr. Dickson's definition of name is itself rather unsatisfactory.
This slightly enlarged version of Paul Dickson's Names , published by Delacorte Press in 1986, is a light-hearted collection of names that the author considers to be interesting for one reason or another.
Mr. Dickson says, for instance, that he has long had a special passion for apple names, and quotes several hundred of them, but he ignores the National Apple Register of the United Kingdom , by uriel W.G. Smith, which catalogues the names of 22,000 cultivars.
This is not to suggest that Dickson's book is a catalogue of bloopers, or what Amsel Greene (and Jack Smith) like to call pullet surprises . There are many interesting entries in Family Words which, as far as I know, is the first documentation of the genre.
Inevitably, some of the entries are more imaginative than others; Dickson will have his hands full if everyone responds giving private words.
