Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not Impressed Comment: Our family has 5 children, all of whom have been given Irish/Scotish/Celtic names to honor their heritage. I bought this book when we were in the process of naming #5. The book only has 213 names and the text is cluttered with large illustrations that make the page count misleading. The text does offer history about the names and pronunciation guides, but most of the names do not require a pronunciation guide. There are some really common names included in the book: Abigail, David, Robert, Ann, among others. More Reviews
