Summary: Fun!
Comment: I think this book is a lot of fun. I've looked up all the names of my friends and family and have
read the comments about their names to them, which has been fun. It's also nice that the book
doesn't contain every different spelling of every name, so it just seems more manageable to go
through. Both my husband and I looked through the lists of names and we wrote down the names that
we liked and then compared lists. We aren't too adventurous, so it's okay that this book has mostly
very normal names. I have enjoyed the name groupings, and can definitely see that I like certain
types of names over others. I highly recommend this book - it's a more entertaining way of picking
baby names than just looking at a list.

Summary: Found our baby's name in this book!
Comment: This is a great book for the analytical choosy type. We went through every name in the book and
actually found the name for our son. We wanted to make sure we picked a rare name, and this book is
a BIG help in finding those rarely used names.

Summary: boring
Comment: too long. i have no idea what the point of this book was. i hated it so much i couldn't get through
the first chapter.

Summary: addictive reading
Comment: Much more helpful than a simple catalog of names, this book also makes extremely interesting
reading. Why are some names ragingly popular, and why does a name appeal to us? How has a name
historically risen and fallen in popularity? I can't begin to count the number of hours before bed
I've spent reading this book.

Naming a child is a lovely responsibility. I think this
book helps more than any other in making a decision that respects the individuality of the child, as
well as the indulgences of the parents.

Summary: Very helpful
Comment: I loved this book. I went through so many name books before I found this one. The categories are
fun to read through. I did not know that my name and the one I was considering for my daughter were
highly popular in the 70s. All my Aunts' names were the "happy" names of the 50s. This book has
very few uncommon names. If you are looking for something ethnic, this might disappoint. It didn't
even have "Jolene" but it's pretty easy to guess what the meaning of that is. Because I was looking
for a more normal name (even Anica, which I loved, sounded too foreign for my girl) this book was
refreshing. I found the perfect name that fit all the categories I liked: Heather.
