I looked through many baby name books and this one seemed to be very comprehensive. It has old and new, popular and old-fashioned names. Not only the familiar American names but other common names from around the world. If you're looking for definitions this book doesn't elaborate but gives a few words plus the origin and alternate spelling. There are also lists of the most popular names from different decades and different countries. This book will keep me busy for a while. I am very happy with my purchase.

In my opinion there were too many names in this book. Most of them were the same names but were just spelled differently. And there were a lot of girl names in the boy section and vice versa. I thought it was poorly organized and edited. I did like the front section with the name lists and categories. But overall I was really disappointed in this book. Not a good buy.

This is more concise than some of the books out there, which I appreciated. Lots of great ideas, still hard to choose a name!

If your looking for a typical name this book is has way to many different names. We just used the top 100 names in the front of the book.

This book repeats names through out the entire book many times. Not really that good of a book. There definitely isn't 55,000 names in this book.
