I also love the fact that the new publisher, 1stWorld Library (or 1stWolrd Publishing) has made the text slightly larger which is a blessing for my thirty-something eyes. Great job. I have dozens of books by this publisher.

I can't answer whether this is the best baby name book out there, but I can attest to it being one of the best resources for writers who need to come up with meaningful character names.
The book is organized into 80 "Name Portraits," each giving the overarching quality of the name, along with descriptions of: The Basic Character, Your Psychology, How You Act and React in the World,Your Deep Intuitive Personality, Your Intelligence, Your Emotional Nature, Your Health and Vitality, The Social You, and then a list of the associated names.
As others have written, I've also found the Name Portraits of family and friends to be dead on. This book has been an invaluable tool. Definitely worth a look.
Awesome resource August 24, 2006

I found this book while working at a large chain bookstore, stuffed behind all the others on a shelf, lost for years. What a treasure! I was stunned to find my unusual (self-chosen) name included, and the name I was given at birth, but most of all, to discover the REASON my birth name never fit! Why it always gave me the willies to speak it aloud! And to learn that I'd chosen a name for myself that not only fits my personality, but my highest aspirations, all the qualities in myself I wished to reinforce and none of those I'd rather do without.
I highly recommend this book for sheer fun and enlightenment! Not much explanation for how Mr. Le Rouzic determined all these things (sadly, because I'd love to know); I wish it had a companion volume explaining this. But I do know that the frequency or resonance of the names we bear does indeed have an important impact on our lives. Must have been his life's work and it must have been inspired.
I think everyone should own this book for better self-understanding and improved relationships. It's costly, but your name is with you every moment of every day. Isn't a better knowledge of what it's broadcasting, both to you and about you, worth the steep price? And if it's all wrong for you--it's not too late to choose a better one!
 There are better books out there July 21, 2006

I was excited to get this book because I do believe names have their own meaning. Unfortunately, this book gives no in-depth explanation of any basis associated with names but rather assures the reader that the author has studied names for over 50 years and knows what he's talking about. The beginning of the book attempts to explain some things but only a paragraph or so is offered for each topic, certainly no real in-depth information. The whole book was terribly disappointing and the numerous typos are surprising - someone did not proof this book.
I highly recommend "The Hidden Truth of Your Name - The Nomenology Project" over this book. Fewer names are included but the principles are explained so much better. I also feel the attributes for each name are much more accurate than the ones in "The Secret Meaning of Names". The secret is to start with the right book first and to learn why there is meaning to names.
