Product Description
Have you decided on a name yet? Do not take it lightly - it may be the most important and far-reaching decision you can make for your child.
The Right Baby Name systematically uncovers the science behind names. Based on meticulous research on everything from the effects of vowel arrangements to the associations with income and education, this book helps you understand the implications of your choice.
An extensive diagnostic section provides you with practical, actionable advice and includes a guide to quantifying characteristics of names such as uniqueness, fit, and goodwill, and a questionnaire to determine your individual NameType. Aided by the powerful online report services at www.TheRightBabyName.com, this book removes the guesswork from choosing the right name.
Researched and written by Oliver Tavakol, MD, for his first child, The Right Baby Name is both a scientific essay and a practical handbook. The first and only resource of its kind, this book takes you beyond the standard Lists of Baby Names to the right choice for your baby.

 Not really impressed June 28, 2008
B. Lofgren (southeastern United States)
It seems to me this product is to get you to apply online for a subscription to research baby names. I wasn't impressed with it at all though the design and marketing of the book is quite nice. I would NOT recommend.
 Great ideas - awful website April 3, 2008
Formerly Anonymous
I love the theory behind this book AND there is some very useful information to be learned from these name reports. The low rating is based solely on the fact that the website (where you get the info) is rarely functional. Pretty much every time I use it it stops responding to my name requests which causes me to hit the button again. The next day I find I've used up some of the 100 reports they give you on duplicate name reports. Customer service does win points for crediting my reports back to me, but the service is slower than they promise. Today I signed on and for some reason cannot find the page where I would get a new name report. It's missing. I paid for my nine month membership... I think I should be able to use the site!
 Baby name book purchase November 18, 2007
E. Mazzur (PA USA)
The book was exactly what I needed for a research paper I was working on and the service and speed to delivery I received was perfect. Amazon is great to work with, I never hesitate to place an order because I know the service is great.
Totally worth it - the best book of them all September 22, 2007
Evelyn S (San Franciso, CA)
Hi -
I own no less than 5 baby name books and this is the one I keep coming back to. It is sooooo important what you call your baby. I knew that I wanted a good name before I read the book, but now I know what makes a name good:
In my mind, the 2 most important factors you can learn about in this book are Fit and Goodwill (Uniqueness is also described in this book, but I sort of intuitively knew that one before). In a nutshell, think about fit with your family & your religion, maybe your race. Goodwill is really a bit like a "credit score" for the name ... it all makes more sense in the book, but it is an easy read I recommend this for every parent ... you can't afford to miss it.
Must-read baby name book August 29, 2007

Yes - I actually said must-"read" because in contrast to most other books, this one actually has something to tell you, instead of just listing thousands of names (which you can get for free on the web, just Google "baby names").
