5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific place to start the "Great Name Hunt.", February 1, 1999

By A Customer

When it came time to pick a name for Junior, Junior just wasn't right. I wasn't looking forward to just going through lists of names to pick one out. Fortunately I found "Baby Names, A New Generation." I actually had fun. This book is not just a list. (Check out"Beam Me Up Pr'zylla") It made the search for just the right name a pleasure, not a chore. I recommend it highly!

3.0 out of 5 stars A little dissapointing..., July 27, 2004

By	Kristin A. Choate "kristinannie" (WV, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was very excited to get this book, but I ended up being disappointed in the number of names included. Several of the names we were considering are not even in the book. It is a fun book to look through and the layout is great, but I think that there have to be better books out there.

You are sure to be appreciated by your son or daughter for selecting name from this book - "A to Z Listings of Thousands of Names : BABY NAMES a new generation" by Barbara Kay Turner. This book has thousands of names, the source of the names, how-to-spell them, famous people bearing the respective names, alternative for the name and many more. Many pages have a small box at the bottom with "Less common classics : New, Unusual Names". This makes your job still easier. The meanings of the names are very appropriate and convincing. You are sure to get appreciated by your son or daughter, i.e the new generation.
