Customer Rating: Summary: A Pretty Good Name Book!Comment: This name book by Barbara Kay Turner is good, sure there are name books out there that have more names listed but some of those books have names that are actually just madeup kreativ (creative) spellings and some names that are just too weird and aren't all that realistic. Don't get me wrong, I actually like some names that are different and unique but there are some name books that list things that are just too off the wall that a kid with the name would be made fun of in school for it. This name book has good names from the classics to some more modern names and I recommend this book.Customer Rating: Summary: A little dissapointing...Comment: I was very excited to get this book, but I ended up being disappointed in the number of names included. Several of the names we were considering are not even in the book. It is a fun book to look through and the layout is great, but I think that there have to be better books out there.Customer Rating: Summary: Really, really goodComment: This is, by far, my favorite name book. Each entry is clear and well organized with a little summary behind each name, including origin and meaning. Unlike many other name books, nicknames and spelling variations are, for the most part, reasonable and don't venture too far out into the land of absurdity and uselessness. It's not about quantity, but quality of names.The entry pages include, among other things, a look back at naming trends over the last century and the reassurance that some names, no matter how far into the future we go, will always stand the test of time. There's also advice on selecting a middle name, and a few sensible rules for picking the perfect name.

Many pages have a small box at the bottom with "Less common classics : New, Unusual Names". This makes your job still easier. The meanings of the names are very appropriate and convincing. You are sure to get appreciated by your son or daughter, i.e the new generation.Customer Rating: Summary: 1000's of Names with straight & convincing meaningsComment: Cover page is really lovely covering varieties of babies - black , white, cute etc. Girls names and boys names are separately listed with most approriate meanings. Meanings are very convincing.Each name has variants after the meaning. Totally it is worth its value.
