5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but Obscure
This book is great if you have someone specific to name after but don't like the particular name. It lets you look up names and gives you many "equivalents." The equivalents include by both meaning and masculine/feminine.

This review is from: The Comprehensive Dictionary of English & Hebrew First Names (Hardcover)
We loved it and it was helpful in naming both our kids. We also loaned it to friends several times. Must Have, even if you just want to know the origin of a name.

This review is from: The Comprehensive Dictionary of English & Hebrew First Names (Hardcover)
This is a big book with a ton of names. We found that the only Hebrew books didn't have enough names so we bought this book. We were able to extend our list from this book but it is a lot to go through. Also, the English names are a litle hard to wade through.

However, many of the names in here were really overly obscure for our taste. There were just so many we would never consider naming our child and we certainly had never heard of ever.

That being said, its an interesting reference.
