With six children, Satran & Rosenkratz' book Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana: What To Name Your Baby Now has been my favorite resource for coming up with names for our children. Now that I'm pregnant with our seventh, I thought to come see if they had a newer version of this book available and found The Baby Name Bible! I ordered it immediately and wasn't disappointed.
In their above-mentioned book, the authors didn't deal with providing a dictionary of baby names -- in this book they do, along with meanings and origins of names. Their dictionary is comprehensive (but not OVERLY so, so that it's hard to wade through the names), it's fresh, it's interesting and it's funny. But also included in this book -- and what I liked about BJJMM -- are their category lists; lists that help provide the FEEL of the name (things like "If you like Adam, You Might Also Like ...," "Color Names," "Cool Bible Names" and "Star Baby Names."
This book gets a high recommendation from me.

I enjoyed how this book told me what names were "climbing the charts" and vice versa. The "celebrity baby name" sections are very interesting, as are the "if you like XXX, you might like XXX" sidebars. It has some funny commentary now and then. I think it could do without the downright silly -- like listing "50 Cent" as a name! -- but overall it's a fun name book to read through, and makes a good gift for any expecting parent.

The Baby Name Bible was easy to pick out of the many books of this genre since the cover is so engaging. Upon reading it, I was very relieved to find that, rather than having to plow through name after name in this very substatial volume, I felt as though I were being guided by an old friend who loves everything about naming a new baby and wants me to be just as delighted with the final choice. This is a great gift book!

A ridiculous compilation of names
I think this book is ridiculous. I have never even heard of most of the names in the book, and some are just completely absurd. Read more

Not the ultimate guide
I was fairly disappointed with this book. It does have a lot of names but many of them are repeats in the both the girls and boys sections, as well as just lots of different... Read more

Lot of names
This is a good book, lots of names. A lot of the 50000 names are different versions of the same name so it is great if you are looking for an original spelling or something... Read more
