"Barack" is a Real Winner as a Baby Name

Leading gift company reveals rising demand for name scrolls with the name "Barack"

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 20, 2008 -- Gift Scrolls 4 U (www.giftscrolls4u.com), the name scroll gift company, revealed today that it is experiencing increasing demand for name scrolls with the name "Barack." The company noted that customers are purchasing these name scrolls as gifts for new baby boys. This news coincides with the results of a recent survey by another baby name company that awarded "Barack" the "Baby Name of the Year."

"The name, 'Barack,' is already a part of American culture," commented Benedict Manovill, founder of Gift Scrolls 4 U. "And, it is all thanks to Barack Obama." Manovill went on to discuss the origin of the name. "'Barack' is an ancient Semitic name that means 'Blessed.' It is a well-loved name in Arabic and Swahili. 'Barack' corresponds to the Hebrew name 'Baruch,' or 'Berache.'"

Gift Scrolls 4 U (www.giftscrolls4u.com), is the world's leading name scroll gift company with customers in 33 countries. The company's product is a name scroll featuring a person's first name and its meaning and history. The background of the scroll is a painting or a crest with a border, crown, and seals. Every customer also receives a free gift. Each name scroll is custom made for that particular customer.

"People love their first name," Manovill continued, "and they are thrilled when someone cares enough to give them a gift about their name. It is truly unique." When asked if most people bought name scrolls for new babies, Manovill pointed out that customers bought them for all ages. "The name scrolls are given to every member of the family as well as other relatives and friends. Also, people buy them for themselves."

The company's busiest season is Christmas. But, according to Manovill, customers want scrolls for Valentine's Day, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Easter, baptisms, graduation, weddings, anniversaries, showers, and "unbirthdays."

When asked about some of the other presidential candidates' names, Manovill replied, "'Hillary' got a big popularity boost when Hillary Clinton was first lady. This beautiful name comes from the Latin and means 'Cheerful.' The name may top the charts again as the presidential campaign continues."

"As for John McCain," he added, "'John' has topped the baby name popularity charts for centuries. It is the name of kings, emperors, presidents, and popes. 'John' comes from the Hebrew and means, 'God has favored.' It is a handsome name and often runs in the family. People will name their children 'John' whatever the news is."
