This is the BEST name book there is! It is useful for finding meanings, spelling, and other information, especially in the realm of Hebrew names. Love it.

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 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.

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.

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.
