This book is so funny.I laughed through the whole book.Makes you think twice before naming your kids.Enjoy it but dont take offense to it.If you are about to have a baby or know someone who is then you can't go wrong with this book.This book is an ideal gift for everyone even if you just want to give a funny gift.Your friends and family will love you for this book.

with such horrible names circulating now, this book was able to shine new light on the naming game. this is a fabulous book and to every mother/father it is a must read.

A very witty book. Makes you laugh when you think of all the problems with naming a baby. Relatively speaking, this book cracks me up. If you get insulted by the comments by your name, they are probably true.

The author even gives his kids great names, pound and pi. That's grand.

No one's safe, so just enjoy.

I LOVED this book- I know there are a few who find it demeaning and rude, but that's kind of the point. If you're seriously searching for a name, this isn't your book- this is just for fun and laughs and the author even makes fun of his own name! After you've bought the 25,000 names books, this is a great one to thumb through- we all know it isn't meant to be serious!! I've never laughed so hard! It's a good gag shower gift (or for someone who has picked out a name you don't like!! :)) and I buy it for all my friends- who have a sense of humor!! :) Enjoy!

If you have a sense of humor, than this book is hilarious. It's a great way to lighten the mood while trying to debate a name for your child. It's not meant to be serious. It's not meant to be a true resource. It's meant to be funny and it achieves it's goal. If you want "smart" comedy, buy something else. If you want something to make you laugh while considering names for your baby, this is the book for you. It's funny even if you're not naming a baby. But don't take it seriously. The author doesn't. Why should you?

David Narter boldy goes where no baby-book author has gone before by using his tell-it-like-it-is original commentary and by pointing out the unsaid yet obvious connations of many popular names.

Special segments like the "Mini-Van Hierarchy" spice up the already humorous dictionary of names. This book is well worth the money for the laughs and, even if you don't want to admit it, the inevitable truth is that most of it is true...

This book is going to every baby shower I get invited to from now on. It is hilarious. Last week I gave it as a gift and we all sat around reading the entries for about an hour and laughing our heads off!

OK, I'm not a parent, but I DO have a name. (An unfortunate one, according to this book.) I can't imagine anyone reading this name guide and not laughing. My favorite part was the section titled, "The Unhappy Lineage and Rivalry of the Desperately Pretentious Suburban Elite." Wicked.

David Narter's Don't Name Your Baby is fabulous!! Creative, witty, hillarious! Narter's comic genius shines through in this guide of what not to name your baby - a must for every baby shower!

A great gift for any expecting parent. Especially loved how not only my first, middle but also my last name are all in this book- way to go mom & dad, lol.
