Great book

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2012

I did not see the book because I had it sent to my sister, but she loved it and found a perfect name for her new baby girl. It made it there in good time too.

Very good source for names.

This book works great for not only naming babies, but dogs too. :-) I would recommend this to anyone. Although, I think some of the names are repeated a little.

Has lots of names, very few meanings

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2008

Verified Purchase

This book is just ok. Though it has lots of names, almost every name says "see this name" under the meaning. It gets very frustrating! So if you care what your child's name means, this book will drive you crazy! Pregnant hormones are enough right?

If you just want a list, I wouldn't even recommend it, I love The Baby Name Wizard. It doesn't have meanings, but it has fun lists and cool info like "sibling names" that go with it. You'll need another book for meanings, but its fun and different.

This book has NOT earned the title VERY BEST. Not at all.

This was our favorite

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2005

Picking a baby name is a very personal process and everyone approaches it differently. We were given four or five baby name books, and this was the one we found most complete and helpful.

I suggest getting several books, including this one, and just enjoy looking through them and getting ideas. Don't worry too much about what a name "means", it varies from book to book and country to country, and no one will know it anyway.

And don't worry if your name is or isn't on a "Top 10" list. The only list that matters is your baby's!

Baby Names A Plenty

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2001

We used the old version of this book 16 years ago. My cousin, is now going to have a baby and I was so glad to be able to find the same book in print and even better. It is a wonderful book and lots of fun to share with "Dad" and anyone else special on your list! Allow yourself enough time because there are plenty of names to keep you searching. Have fun.
