 Poor editing and lack of research October 2, 2008
Accidental Reviewer (Tokyo, Japan)
I bought this book attracted by positive reviews by other customers. What I got is a poorly written, hastily concocted manuscript filled with useless pseudo-information. As someone with relatively broad knowledge of Japanese, Nordic, Russsian and Eastern European names I was surprised to see the selection of names by the author. Many 'Russian names' are derivative forms never used as official names, the Japanese names are in many cases either outright bizarre or sex-switched, i.e. boys' names claimed to be girls' names. The meanings seem to often come from some poorly researched and even more poorly translated sources. I can only assume that the quality of lists of other 'ethnic' names and their meanings is just the same junk. I fell into a trap of buying this book lured by ignorant reviews. I hope you don't.
 A FUN, INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING BOOK! July 12, 2008
Caroline McMASTER (Florida)
Well, I originally purchased this book for one of my nieces who was expecting; however, I have a new kitten, and I wanted to give him a unique name. His name is now Winston. My niece did choose a very, very, very unique name for their baby, but I'm not sure they found it in this book. Although, I really do think they did. 8]

SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 UPDATE
Well, another niece of mine is expecting in 2009, so I am purchasing this book again. I really do think you will find several names to choose from with the help of this book.
 Awsome Book!!! January 7, 2007

This is one of the best book about baby names. There are very nice categories which help to choose the best name for you baby. I'm pregnant with my second child but I wish this book existed earlier because I could use it to name my first child as well. If you buy this book you won't need any other. I've bought many baby name books and when my husband saw that I have a new one he said "Oh, the next useless book about names.", but when he took a look at this book he said "Hmm, finally you got something worth to read". I can proudly say that my second baby will be named with a name from this book. I'm also planning to have more kids, so I won't need other book because I got the best here. So ladies, what I'm trying to say is that if you wonder which baby name book to buy, you should definitely buy this one! Recommendation from a happy family.
The ultimate book of baby's names! November 9, 2006

This was one of the most useful and interesting baby naming books I've read! This book is a jewel of a find! I've flipped through and purchased countless baby name books. This is BY FAR my favorite. It's perfectly organized, well-written, insightful and incredibly helpful. It goes into much more detail than the books that just list names. It includes thousands of names from all over the world with absolutely accurate meanings, most popular names, tips on names, first letter meanings, numerology and a lot of entertaining material. Other books I've seen just give you an alphabetical listing of names, the origins and it's specific meaning - how boring! It's really unique among all other baby name books. A great book for yourself to read as you select a name for your child or as a fun gift for expectant parents. I highly recommend it!
I would have given it a 6+ if it was possible! +++++++

This book took the stress and indecision out of the baby name process and gives first class guidance in what is probably one of the most important decisions you'll ever make.
Whatsmore far from being a task, this book was fun too. I looked forward to resuming where I left off.
Its a big book and a sound investment in your baby's future. My baby is worth it and I'm glad I made it.
