Summary: Not really helpful
Comment: This book really didn't help me. It has a limited list of names that are included and are repeated
over and over grouping them in different categories. There was nothing that this book provided that
was better than any of the other books or websites I have looked at. In fact, I found it had less
information. It also does not give name meanings, which is a nice feature. As a first time parent,
I found better information elsewhere. I wouldn't waste my money.

Summary: If you buy one baby name book.....
Comment: This should be it! The ultimate baby name book. I flipped through lots of name books that were
merely dictionaries of baby name books. I read this one so much I cracked the spine!
/>This book gives you an opinion on the name, ranking, and ten other sibling names that "match"! I
have met several people that have children with the sibling suggestions (including myself)! It is
amazing! I love it and look at it still even though I'm not pregnant any more!

Summary: very helpful! different than other baby books
Comment: This book was super-helpful to us in picking a boy's name. We just could not think of many, and the
lists and descriptions are clever and spot-on. I had a lot of fun reading through this book. It made
choosing a name an enjoyable process. Much more insightful and modern than other baby books that
just list names. Good mix of traditional and modern names.

Summary: The Best Baby Name Book Out There
Comment: This is the best name baby book I've ever seen, but, with that said, I don't think any baby name
book is really going to help you pick your baby's name. At the most it will help you to rationalize
the names you already like.

What makes this book great is that it takes a look at names
in a whole new way. Not just the derivations or meanings, but also what names "match" that name and
what people associate with that name. It also groups similar names together so you can peruse a list
of names that you might actually like rather than pour through hundreds of names that you won't
like.

Laura Wattenberg is obsessed with names and naming trends over time. If you
haven't taken a look at her blog then go check it out; the Baby Name Voyager is a must see!

Summary: Different than other baby name books...Does not include any name meanings
Comment: I am having my third child, and am having a very difficult time picking out a name. Although this
book was fun and interesting to read, I still am undecided! What I like most about this book is
that the names are categorized into different styles like "New classics", "The -ens", Biblical",
"Timeless" etc....although I have not decided on a name I do have a list of names that I am
considering now. I took a look at what style categories my other two boys fall under, and am trying
to pick a name that shares some of the same categories in hopes that it will sound good. I liked
that this book was not like any other baby name book, but I did not like that it did NOT have name
meanings. In addition to all of the other information the author has provided, a name meaning would
really complete the book, and that is why I only give it 4 stars. If at some point this book
includes name meanings I would give it a 5.
