Big Pants, Burpy and Bumface




An hilarious book, jam-packed full of extraordinary, laugh-out-loud names from around the world - now available in paperback.

What's your name? Is it Chloe? Jessica? Jack, Sam? Is it Emily? Rebecca? Matthew, Dan?

...Or is it Fart Bear?

Noah Zark?

Piggy Banks?

Be grateful for your ordinary name - this funny, fascinating book is full of the silliest, the strangest, the weirdest and the wackiest names from around the world (and some of them are quite rude too)!
