Good Name book for saints for boys,
By Miryam Shoresh (Adirondack Mountains, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Saint for Your Name: Saints for Boys (Paperback)
This book has 700 names of boys that can be derived of the about 250 males saints whose lives are recorded in brief descriptions from one line to one page long. These boys names are listed on the web page which can be accessed by clicking on "Index" under "Browse Sample Pages:" on this web page.If you are more interested in learning about the lives of these saints beyond a thumbnail description given in this book please check out my reviews on over 40 other books on saints.

Baby Names!,
By LMS (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Saint for Your Name: Saints for Boys (Paperback)
This was a great help when considering our first son's name. It also gives other non well known saints with the same name or variation of the name. Though it doesn't have all the saint's names for boys (as it informs you in the introduction), Butler's Lives of the Saints would be a great companion.
