I checked this book out from my local library (without looking inside first), and found that most of the so-called names in this book are not names at all. It was like reading a dictionary. Here are a few examples: celery, carrot, go, car, I could go on and on. I am all for unusual names, but please consider your children! Also, there is no listing for which of these supposed names are male or female; just an alphabetical list of words. If you are truly curious about it, please don't waste your money, go to your library - personally, I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

When we are naming both boys and girls these days Ryan, Riley, Hayden, Hunter, and Evan why should the author decide which gender names be assigned to? You decide! This is an innovative and unique name book with some very creative names. If you want to name your child something that isn't one of the top ten names in the county, this is the book for you. I give it to all my pregnant friends, you should too.

I love this book! It has tons of unique names, many that have never been heard before! If you want a special name for your baby, you should definitely read this book.

This is a great book to find an unusual name for your new baby. The preganacy journal is an added benefit for new mothers. Makes a nice baby shower gift.

Recently, I purchased this book to help find a creative name for our soon to be son. What I loved about this book was that it listed the names and left the rest to me. It allowed me to be creative with each of the names listed. Many of the names could be pronounced differently, depending on your interpretation of it. I liked this because it allowed me to be very creative in coming up with a name for my son. I feel that this book is intended to spark creativity rather than to find a specific name. My goal was to come up with a name that I hadn't heard of and that is what I did. I found several names in this book that I liked. I combined names and different pronounciations to come up with my own unique name. As well as having unusual names, this book has the common ones too. Another thing that I like about this book was that it didn't have the definitions or originations of the names. Frankly, I wanted to find a name that I like; I didn't want to name my child based on a definition. Lastly, the pregnancy journal is great. It has pages for journaling and attaching pictures. It has reminded me to take the oh so important pictures that I would reget not having later. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to be creative and find a name that is perfect for your little one. My husband and I did.

This has to be the most creative, resourceful, and well planned baby name book that I have ever come across. It's not just a baby name book...the author has incorporated nursery rhymes, a pregnancy journal, a photo journal and many other things that set it apart from the traditional books. Thank you Marty Wilson for writing such an extraordinary book, it's truly a work of art. You've allowed me to explore a realm that I have never traveled...a realm, which allowed my wife and I to choose very ingenious names for our twins. Where were you when we were naming our first child? My hat goes off. Thank you!

Buy this book, you won't regret it.

I think this book is one of the best ever for picking out unique names never before heard of and helps you stimulate your own imagination like the author has encourage you to do. It also comes with common names to so its perfect for everyone.
