5.0 out of 5 stars
great source of names without tons of wierd ones,
By A Customer
This review is from: Parents Book of Baby Names (Parents baby and childcare series) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book has just about every fairly normal name with its origin and meaning and a great list of nicknames, without being at all overwhelming. This is a great guide for picking out a real name for your baby, unless you are looking for something really, really unusual or ethnic. It's brief enough that you can realistically skim through and consider all the main names listed and come up with a list of your favorites. It's got a good section at the beginning on deciding whether or not to pick an unusual or hard to spell name and a section on popular names, too.
