 I found a name September 26, 2008
Roberta Hotard (New Tampa, Florida)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This was the book I chose when I was expecting my first child, the doctor said back then I was having a little girl even without an ultrasound. I fell in love with this book over and over trying to figure out the best name for my baby and what the name meant. Yes it defines the name . I named my baby girl after my doctors daughter but my daughters name was in the book along with the definition. However I used this book for all three of my daughters and gladly will buy them their own book when I found out that they are expecting. Yes! I cant wait til they say Im pregnant and your going to be a grandma. Having a child is 1 experience and pain you will never forget but choosing the name is not hard when you have a great book like this. Choosing a name is alot easier than raising them thats for sure.
 Lots of Info January 26, 2007
K. Kisielnicki (Colorado)
My husband and I really enjoyed this book. It gave a lot of information and things to consider when chosing a name. Mr. Lansky chose fairly common names from recent popularity. So if your looking for a book that will give you an idea for that unusual or elusive name this isn't the book for you, but you might still enjoy it for it's other apects. There is an interesting segment on celebrity names.
Easy to read! January 18, 2007
Tobi A. Gadient
I really enjoyed this baby name book because it was easier to read and didn't have 10,000+ names in it. If you are looking for more traditional names and variations, this is the book for you!
 Entertaining, but poorly researched. December 3, 2006
Amy Burch (Boston, MA earth)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have a huge collection of baby name books, and consider this one to be one of the most poorly researched. It contains a few articles at the beginning which are entertaining (but fairly standard, as baby name books go), but the meat-and-bones of this book is the list of names themselves. The origins and meanings of names in here are inaccurate more often than not. For example, it lists the name "Gladys" as being Celtic for "princess." In all my 20+ years of researching names, I can't even begin to fathom where that origin came from.
In order to make the claim of being the "very best" - it relies upon the number of names it has. However, that number is largely made up of coming up with bizarre spellings and strange nicknames for already existing names (like Kore for Kora, Imojean for Imogen...).
So, if you're simply looking for a list of names to choose from, this book is OK. If you're looking for actual factual information about name origins and meaning, stay far, far away from this one!
Best Used Before Naming Your Baybee! February 4, 2006
Hoppy Doppelrocket (Atlanta, GA)
One of the oafish ladies in my wife's Big Readers Book Club recently had twins (one boy, one girl) and she could've really used this book before naming the screaming mutants "Cooleena" and "Rupappy". I suppose that's better than what her equally idiotic husband named their blue heeler ("Muttplug"). Lansky's book really could help a lot of people. Provided they receive it in time...
