Summary: Kinda confusing.
Comment: This book has ALOT of baby names in it, I'll give it that, but trying to understand the method of
how she comes up with some of them is beyond me...... there are names like Ssnar.... I dunno...
Also, it doesn't give many "meanings" to the names, just little charts next to the names, which I
still can't figure out. If you have the 9 months to spend reading the book to find a name, its fine,
but trying to find a name with good meaning, I would pass on this one.

Summary: The BEST baby name book
Comment: This is by far the most useful baby name book out there. There are dozens of books that will tell
you a name is Latin in origin or means "bright, shining"--this book isn't one of them--if you are
looking for a straightforward name dictionary, this is not the book for you. What is so great about
THIS book is that it gives you the name's relevance TODAY--how popular is it, what image does it
project, etc. Most unique is the way it groups names in the back--so if you know you like timeless
names/names that end with '-en'/lacy & lissome names/nickname-proof names/etc. there is a whole list
for you to choose from--very, very useful for picking sibling names or if you & your mate can't
agree, but know what style you like. It is the book I give to every expectant friend.

Summary: More Than a List
Comment: You can find lists of names all over the internet, so why buy most books? This book helped my
husband and me learn how to pick a name we will like. It also made us aware that "unpopular" names
are becoming increasingly popular due to style trends. It made me think twice about some names I
like and gave me confidence to be more daring when considering names. The author has a
conversational writing style that is easy to read. Great book.

Summary: No meanings or origins
Comment: I regret spending the money on this- it repeated names over and over and didn't give any meanings or
cultural origins. I have to buy another book, but this time I'll browse at the bookstore first.

Summary: A Step Above Others
Comment: I bought this book after reading the rave reviews and when it came, I couldn't resist seeing what
the excitement was all about! The introduction was especially helpful in pointing out common
pitfalls when selecting names. The tone is light, fun and comical, which was refreshing. I like the
organization of the book especially the categories of names in the back. However, I was
disappointed to find a lack of more ethnic names. Also, the idea of giving name suggestions for
brothers and sisters is a unique feature of this book, but I'm not completely sold on the idea of
using one child's name to select a sibling name that fits into a prescribed category or "flavor."
Overall, this book is a step above sifting through 10,000 baby names, but it's not the "wizard" I
expected it to be.
