 Good! September 16, 2008
I do not own this book. We were in Target and I spotted it. Since there was nothing else to do, I started reading it. I didn't read the beginning or anything...but I found the page that said: GIRL NAMES. There was ALOT of names! I found my name! It meant what I already knew it meant...and I saw tons of other cool names. Some names I had never heard of...but liked them. It's a very helpful book if you need names to name someone or soemthing. I REALLY want to get it. I have around 50 baby dolls and need some names for them. I would definitely choose this book over all the others I've looked at. Even though I don't have this book and only read it a little bit...I would tell anyone to buy it even if they don't need it! I really like it.
Thanks!

 Too much nonsense with some glaring omissons February 27, 2008

We picked the book up as an impulse item while starting our baby registry at one of the big box stores.
The up front information on things to think about is valuable. But the bulk of the book seems to be a data dump of any possible word that could be used as a name. As another person observed - too much filler. Some of the top ten lists were pretty weak - top gangster names, top zodiac names etc.... There are little side notes (symbols) next to many names, but we couldn't find the key to let us know what the symbols meant.
Kind of a fun book for conversations, but far too many nonsensical offerings to sift through. And somehow in the 100,001 names such as Hemp or Turbo she missed Lars? Odd.
Interesting Collection of Names February 8, 2008

I recommend this book for anyone searching for a name for a new baby, or even for a story they are writing. The lists (of popular names, according to categories) are especially helpful in narrowing down to the right name.
I'm happy with it. February 5, 2008

I draw, write and play plenty of games with character creation, so I've been looking for a name book.
I'm quite happy with it. The lists at the front are quite handy and while I'm not having a baby, I think they gave some good advice at the start of the book.
After that, the names are kind of jumbled. Besides the lists (each with ten names for each gender), the names are either under boy or girl. I wish they had been organized by country.
