5.0 out of 5 stars Another Winner from the Baby Name Experts, February 27, 2007

By	D. Sautter "christianphonesource.com" (Washington state) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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 Now that I'm pregnant with our seventh, I thought to come see if they had a newer version of this book available and found The Baby Name Bible!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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, whimsical, July 14, 2007

By	N. Kelcher (Seattle) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book feels like an old friend., May 17, 2007

By	Niel "Niel" - See all my reviews

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!
