 Great resource December 17, 2004

What an excellent resource! I used this book for my 2nd daughter. For the first one, I relied on a Hindi dictionary for ideas! I've since passed it along to family and friends.
The names listed are given in its Hindi spelling, its English spelling along with the meaning. The first half of the book focuses on girls names while the second half on boys names. The authors have marked their favorite names as well as those that are "iffy"; those names that sound fine when pronounced in Hindi but take on a different meaning in English. Definitely worth the money.
Cute book, nice features, but is very incomplete November 25, 2004

I was very excited to find this book because, as an American married to an Indian, I had no idea where to begin in choosing a name for our baby. It is nicely laid out, enjoyable to read, and has helpful features such as recommended names and names to avoid in the U.S. However, even I was starting to find that many common names of Indians I knew were not in this book! That's when I started to do Internet searches, and found a number of websites that were much more complete. I highly recommend that the authors publish a new expanded edition, given that this one was published 13 years ago and is sorely in need of an update.
 Definitely Helpful In Canada July 2, 2004

We found this book to be very helpful in picking an Indian name for our Canadian-born baby. The organisation takes some getting used to -- the names are not in alphabetical order, but rather, are organised based on the number of letters in the name. Once you're used to the style, it makes a lot of sense -- the authors feel that really long names (more than 10 letters and/or four syllables) aren't easily pronounced by English-speaking North Americans, and they're right. So, the names at the start of each letter -- the short ones -- are your best bets. They also make an effort to mark names that are easily pronounced in English, as well as those that might result in especially bad pronounciation. Although I'm sure this book has its faults in terms of name meanings, it certainly is a great way to find an English-friendly baby name. I've yet to find a name on any Indian Baby Names website that wasn't in this book.

 Waste of money. March 8, 2003
4 out of 7 found this review helpful
I bought this book as the title looked very promising. I thought that this may end up being the only book we needed to find a name for our baby. When the book arrived I was impressed by the layout and the separate sections for male and female names. But the quality of production including paper is dismal. But my main complaint by far is with the content. Most of the names are pretty common and the ones that are not common are not regular names. They are not even names that anyone would consider fot their babies. Many of the meanings are also wrong. I would definitely recommend other books such as The Penguin Book of Hindu Names (Maneka Gandhi) or Vimla Patil's book but do not waste your money on this one.
