Author Biography

Diane Stafford Author of the wildly popular book 40,001 Best Baby Names, magazine editor (five times running), and creative-agency writer, Diane Stafford has 25 years' experience in writing and editing-but nothing has rivaled the indecent amount of fun involved in turning out a second edition, called 50,001 Best Baby Names, with 10,000 more names for readers. Living in sunny Newport Beach, California, Stafford-a transplant from Houston, Texas-writes books and works for a creative agency. Her published books include: Migraines For Dummies, Potty Training For Dummies, The Encyclopedia of STDs, No More Panic Attacks, 1000 Best Job-Hunting Secrets, and her latest, 50,001 Best Baby Names. Four of these books were co-authored with Stafford's daughter, Jennifer Shoquist, MD; her job-hunting book co-author was Moritza Day.
