I had highly anticipated the arrival of this book, but upon arrival I was extremely dissapointed. Though it has a good explanation of the pronounciation, it is not a good book for finding names. It has very very limited names. For example, to my knowledge there are hundreds of muslim girls name starting with the letter "S" , whereas the writer has just given very few. I do not recommend anyone buying this book. In the entire book I could not find a single name that I would like to keep for my child.

nice book if you are looking to muslim name structure. Doesn't have good collection of names.

especially for western muslims. it explains in great the detail about the history of naming

I am very glad to have "A Treasury of Favorite Muslim Names" with me. It is a great collection of traditional names from the Islamic history. This book seems to be much different than other books in the sense that it does not offer meaningless or so called modern names, which have no significance in Islam. One of the interesting parts of this book is that it teaches how to create new names and derive meaningful names from a single root word. In this way I was able to create a novel name for my cousin "Hammad", a derivative of word "Hamd" (praise). In addition to names, it talks about Muslim birth customs and explains how to welcome a newborn in the Muslim family. This book is an excellent addition to my collection. I recommend it to anyone who has interest in Muslim birth customs, and curiosity in Muslim names and naming practices. The author is a member of the American Name Society and has done an excellent job of covering several aspects of names and naming from Arabic, Turkish, and Persian origins.

This Book Is Very Helpful! Enjoy It & Use IT! Thanks!
