A fun read!

I've seen more exhaustive name lists in other books, but this one is definitely one the most interesting and fun-to-read name books I've come across.

Top of The Top 14

A Very Topical Name book With creative Name groupings. pretty good meanings and creative listings. Very historical and Nature friendly names a good gift for a mom or dad to be.

Highly usefull

I enjoyed this book and I found it to be very usefull. It did not take long to go through and it introduced me to names I hadn't heard of or thought of before and introduced me to some old names I thought of before. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it didn't have same names in it that are more popular now in 2004 versus when it came out and was republished in the 90's. I highly enjoyed it and recommend it but it is not really updated to the times.

the best baby name book out there

When I had my daughter in 1993 I bought this book after careful perusing in the store in which I bought it. It was important to me to find a book that listed MANY names and that it had correct meanings attached. My daughters name was found in this book as well as all three of my sisters children and a few other friends have looked it over in the process of their own pregnancies. I am actually going to buy a second copy, for myself...as my original is dog-eared and has many notes in the margins.With names like Nani, Kalea, Logan, Danica, Oriana, Sheena, and Dara (some of the children I personally know who were either named from this book or whos names are included inside) you cant go wrong, in fact I judge how good a baby name book is by these names..if they are not there..it is not a complete enough book...and this one has them ALL! As we go through the process of finding a name for our newest addition, this book is a great resource, and will be in our family for generations.

A Great Guide

When I became pregnant with my first child in 1996 I immediately began thinking about what I would name my unborn baby so my father gave me this book of names to help me decide. This book is a great read for parents that are not really sure what to name their kids. It is also great to find out what your own name really means and prevent yourself from making the same mistakes some parents have made naming their children. I think I have memorized the entire book. I have become a bit of a name nut since I received this book. If someone needs help with a name - they just call me. Hopefully my children will appreciate my dedication in searching for their names. I certainly appreciated the help.
