Title says it all. Good simple reference book for baby names. I bought this with the baby name wizard to cross reference origin. It is a tiny little book with thin pages, but for the price, it's fine.

This review is from: 25,000 + (Baby Names) (Paperback)

I bought this book, not expecting a child, as a writers resource. This book shows nationality, meaning, associated names and referrals (to similiar names). A very useful tool in naming a child --- either of your loins or your imagination.
