The best of the genre

I have purchased this book three times, having worn out the first two copies. This book is far and away the best baby naming book available. It is uncanny how the "brother", "sister" names are so close to what one would choose for a sibling. It just solidifies the name choice so there is no trepidation in choosing a name. My grandsons names, Jack and Sam, were chosen from this book. The suggestion that Sam is a good brother name for Jack just reinforced Mom and Dad's decision.

Fun and Helpful

I was so tired of looking at lists of baby names. This book gives you a lot of choices, but it helps you think about all of your name options. It doesn't have definitions for names, but they are catagorized many different ways and it makes it a lot of fun. This was very refreshing after my husband and I had gotten burnt out from thinking about, reading about, and talking about names too long.

Finally a baby name book that makes sence

Ok, we're on our fourth child and have a large extended family. All of my favorite names are already taken! Some of the new modern darling names are just weird. I find the "6 million baby names" type of books discouraging. About as useful as a phone book in my opinion.

What a breath of fresh air to discover this book. The first few chapters discuss general principals of name selection, good practical advice. The middle section lists various names, providing a popularity score, close variants, spelling variations, and suggested sibling names.

My favorite part of the book groups names by style. For example: "bell tone", "little darlings", "ladies and gentlemen" etc. For me it is very useful to see names organized in this way. Finding a favorite name's style group allows you to browse other names of similar style. Often you will find another good name or two in the style list. Again MUCH more useful than a simple, non-intelligent, name-list type book.

I suppose the most useful thing this book provides is a logical method to link between various names. Whether by style group lists, or by providing direct suggestions for sibling names, this book will help you find multiple good baby names. You might even have fun doing it!

Highly recommended book!! Buy two and give one away.

Great book!

I love this book! The author does more than define the names listed. She categorizes them, she shows recent trends, lists similar names to suggest alternatives, and she gives her opinion of each name without insulting or talking down to the reader. It's a great book for soon-to-be parents or anyone that's interested in names. The only slight problem is the fact that the book has been out for about two years, so the trends shown may no longer be entirely accurate, but you'll still be able to get a general idea of the popularity (or lack thereof).

This book worked for both me and my husband

Out of the 3 baby names book we purchased, this book had the names we ultimately end up choosing for our baby. Well layed out book with combination of theory/strategy/popularity on naming as well as name categories and plenty of great name suggestions. Other books we got were "The Baby Name Bible", and "The Right Baby Name".
