Interesting baby name - First impression book

This is a really neat idea for a baby name book. I liked how it gave a list of what impressions various names gave people. You might love a name but forget that you'd be sharing it with a famous celebrity... or that the name gives people a certain impression. Many of the descriptions for the names were DEAD ON for people I knew. The names are listed first by "characteristic" and the names associated with that characteristic. Then there is an alphabetical listing of names. There are a few pages at the back where you jot your favorite boy and girl names, as well as another page for listing your "top ten" boy names and "top ten" girl names. There are a lot of common names and then some off-the-wall ones. Not an exhaustive list, but a good starter / mainstream naming book.
