4.0 out of 5 stars
Absolutely one of the better ones out there,
By
This review is from: Just the Perfect Name (Paperback)
I don't have kids, I'm just one of those unique people who enjoy learning more about names. I was pleased to find that my name was actually given it's own listing instead of being lumped in with Catherine! This book is more in depth than most baby name books, covering lots of cultures and backgrounds. The author welcomes readers to write with additions and suggestions and choices they made for their children. Overall, a great read and very informative!

Not the Same Old Stuff,
By "chipscookie" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Just the Perfect Name (Paperback)
I have lent and LOST 3 copies of this book to the borrowers! Interesting names abound...the "usual" ones are there too, but De La Paix even gives unexpected foreign variations of THOSE, so your kid won't be the 6th Ashley or 4th Sam in class! Some light-hearted trivia about many names; hints on how to create an original. Cool African tribal, Asian, Native American, Celtic, Gaelic names; learn "June" or "May" in 15 languages! It'd be 5 stars if it had 40,000 instead of 30,000 names --- couldn't get enough.

I wouldn't name my dog anything from this book.,

This review is from: Just the Perfect Name (Paperback)
This may be the perfect book if you want your kid to be picked on and teased mercilessly. They say it builds character. However if you'd perfer not to have your children curse your name even after you've gone skip this piece of trash. If you want a book with normal names in it definitely skip this. example from the k in girls koruna, kosma, ksena, kuma, kuni, kupona, kura, kuri, kyla, kymberley, kyo, kyra, kyrie, kristine, krystal. Just a little example of the normality of the names.
