4.0 out of 5 stars
A meaty, seemingly thorough dictionary of names...
I was not at all displeased with this book (as the two previous reviewers were.) I find it full of interesting information about a number of names I know (including Haggarty.) It gives several pronunciations, talks about the meaning of a name, and tells us about some of the more famous people who've held the name. I'd buy it again.

Dissappointing
Picked this up in a bookshop with a view to buying it. Like most folks, I went straight to my own name and found the information relating thereto inaccurate, poorly researched and misleading. That was enough for me to give it a hearty thumbs down. My recommendation - buy one of MacLysaght's book instead.

I ordered the book thinking that my mother's name Brannagan would be in there for sure. I was very disappointed.
