Summary: REALLY PRETTY, A GREAT GIFT
Comment: A really pretty baby name book. I'm talking here about the yellow book with the Mary Engelbreit
cover; I see this book has a number of versions. But the one I bought was just gorgeous. It's full
of great names and has lots of lovely boxes packed with intriguing trivia. Apparently, when this
book was first published in the 70s, it was the only baby name book to contain unusual names in
addition to Mary and John. My mother still has one of the original copies (she named me with
it!),but in my opinion this latest edition is even better. A timeless classic.

Summary: WHAT FUN!!!
Comment: Lots of great names from all over the world. This book has a real "internet" feel about it. It has
all the timeless classics like Sarah, Emily, Joshua and Austin. Plus tons of appealing new names I
hadn't thought of. I found the no-angst chapter on the psychology of naming my baby especially
reassuring, and the section on the best ways to create a name was a blast!!

Summary: Wish I'd Found This One First!!!
Comment: As a college teacher, I found this book extremely intelligent, well-researched and beautifully
written. But most of all, it was a sheer pleasure to read. I bought three other name books, but
this one was definitely the most fun. Don't let the "new age" title confuse you. The author
defines the new age as a much-hoped-for time when prejudice and fear will at last melt away and
we'll all live together in peace and harmony. A beautiful thought, a beautiful book. Highly
recommended!!!

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good-but lacked that special "stand out" unique names.
Comment: This book offered many names I never knew existed. In that sense it was good. However, it did not
offer anything that I felt was unique and beautiful together. Sure, there are some foreign names I
never knew. But they don't stand out as names to necessarily give my children.
