Choosing a name for your baby is probably one of the most important decisions you can make in your child's life. It can affect her attitudes towards herself and others and how she perceives herself in relation to the rest of society. Choosing the wrong name for your child can leave her feeling like she doesn't belong or fit in. Take into consideration what you would feel like if you grew up as Chester and was constantly called the common nickname 'Chester the molester.' There are a great number of names that lend themselves to taunting and teasing, simply because of the immaturity of other people. This can affect a child's self-esteem, or even leave her prone to being bullied for no reason. Consider your ancestry. If you are of English descent, consider names of Queens like Elizabeth or Mary. If you are of Russian decent, consider Czars like Catherine. Naming your baby based on your cultural heritage is a common method, and usually turns out pretty well. It's your decision, but be open to other people's ideas. Sometimes a suggestion of a friend or family member hits the nail on the head. Also, be certain to take your spouse's opinion into consideration, because it's their child too. In fact, it is common to name a child after a family member such as your parent or grandparent. In this list of 5000+ girls baby names, duplicates are kept to a minimum so that more names could be included in the list. This is by no means a complete list, but is has a wide variety of names from different origins, and have a diverse set of meanings. You'll be sure to come up with some good ideas from these suggestions.

This book examines the mediated shift in the contemporary human condition, focusing on the ways in which we synthesise with media content in daily life, essentially transmediating ourselves into new forms and (re)creating ourselves across media. Across an international roster of essays, this book establishes a transdisciplinary theory for the 'transmedia self', exploring how technological ubiquity and digital self-determination combine with themes and disciplines such as celebrity culture, fandom, play, politics, and ultimately broader self-conception and projection to inform the creation of transmedia identities in the twenty-first century. Specifically, the book repositions transmediality as key to understanding the formation of identity in a post-digital media culture and transmedia age, where our lives are interlaced, intermingled, and narrativised across a range of media platforms and interfaces. This book is ideal for scholars and students interested in transmedia storytelling, cultural studies, media studies, sociology, philosophy, and politics.
