Review

If you've got an occasion to bestow a name, and you're looking for the widest possible range of choices, you can't go wrong by bringing home a copy of The Complete Book of Baby Names. (phantomscribbler.blogspot.com )

Since this is my third child, I've been through my share of baby name books, about 2 a pregnancy. This one I found as my favorite, not just the first few chapters but the list of names are wonderful and broken not just into boy and girl categories but lists of popular names by country, twin names and hordes of other lists. You'll be amazed, as I was. (snowboundintheyukon.blogspot.com )

The Complete Book of Baby Names is a great resource if you are naming a baby, and, it's also an interesting read. Busy Girl has been using it to inform all her friends what their names mean.

Most importantly, though, it covers what NOT to name your baby. I'll let you check that one out yourself. (BusyMom.net )

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much nonsense with some glaring omissons, February 26, 2008

By	J. Arambarri (Boise, ID USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We picked the book up as an impulse item while starting our baby registry at one of the big box stores.

The up front information on things to think about is valuable. But the bulk of the book seems to be a data dump of any possible word that could be used as a name. As another person observed - too much filler. Some of the top ten lists were pretty weak - top gangster names, top zodiac names etc.... There are little side notes (symbols) next to many names, but we couldn't find the key to let us know what the symbols meant.

Kind of a fun book for conversations, but far too many nonsensical offerings to sift through. And somehow in the 100,001 names such as Hemp or Turbo she missed Lars? Odd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to choose the best name for your baby, September 15, 2007

By	dmrbooks - See all my reviews

This is an amazing resource book with lots of lists, the meanings of all the names and really good introductory materials (that were very helpful). 100,001 names is a lot of names, so having some ways to think about them is very helpful. So were the lists of most popular names in categories such as country, ethnicity and religion. And I really liked the attributes of a perfect name (considerations such as sound, family names, nicknames, meaning, stereotypes, putting together first and last names, etc.). A tremendously useful book for naming babies (and even pets or characters in novels.) And fantastic shower gift.

1.0 out of 5 stars More doesn't mean better, August 5, 2007

By	Karen Nicholas "knicholas" (Preston, ID USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Ever thought of naming your baby Oder? What about Pekar? If so, then this book is for you. If not, you will have to wade through tens of thousands of unusable names that are there just as filler.
