This book makes an execellent and unique shower gift. it is also available in a hardcover gift set with 600 girls/boys names. I have found several names that are not in the Bible as well.

I believe that everyone should know what the meaning of their name means. It speaks to who you are and it shines the light on the path which leads to your destiny. It also helps you know who you are therefore, when someone attempts to call you something other than your given name in a negative way, you can correct them. I really enjoy this book and the research process.


Finally, in our attempt in society to be different( in which I am not oppose to this), when you choose your future child's name, you are speaking to who and how your child will operate on this earth.

Okay, I don't have kids, so I don't know how helpful this book would be to someone who is expecting, but it has proven very useful to me. I like to make up stories and do character sketches (confession: aspiring author) and I like to find beautiful names that are also meaningful and unusual. This book has all of it: unusual, common, and some of the slightly far out and their meanings. I love to look up the meaning of my friends' and family's names...so far, every name I've looked up has been in it. This book is worth every penny I payed for it plus having the handsome young salesclerk eye my tummy when I bought it. Sigh.

Be aware that this book ONLY contains names found in the bible. It does have a scripture reference for each name and would make a great bible study tool. If you are looking for a broad spectrum of names this may not be the book for you.
