 WOW! June 27, 2008
Saracliff (Midwest USA)
Although we STILL haven't picked a name for our baby, this book has had sooo many unique and classic names! It's organized so much differently than all the other name books, it's almost fun to read!
I would highly reccomend this book, especially if the parents are unsure of where to start with names.
Best Baby Name Book! May 20, 2008

My sister recommended this book and I love it. It is not like every other book and baby name website. If you are looking for a name dictionary with origin and meaning of every name, buy one of the other thousand baby name books out there. If you are looking for something different that groups names by category, helps to identify what people think of when they hear the name, and shows popularity over the last century of each name, then this is definitely the book for you. It has been a huge help so far in helping me identify the type of names that I like so I can narrow down the choices for our new baby boy arriving this fall.
 Name ideas really weird May 20, 2008

I bought this book thinking that it may give some unique ideas and insights into names. Unique ideas it has... but so completely untraditional that I think any child with these names will be perpetually made fun of. I will be buying a different book.

This gave me great ideas for names, and ideas of what current and recent trends have been. I like how it suggests families of names that are similar in style to names you like.
