3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but confusing, 23 Mar 2008
By fatjasper (Cambridge, UK) - See all my reviews
As an interesting read about the origins of various types of name (biblical, literary, modern etc) this book is good. The first few chapters about how to go about choosing a name are also interesting. BUT, if all you want is lists of names and their meanings/origins, this isn't the book for you. The book is also very American so perhaps not ideal for those looking for names in the UK. I'll be continuing my search elsewhere and am glad I was given this book and didn't spend money on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars All it should be and more, 20 Dec 2005
For a book about naming babies it has everything you could possibly ask for.

Sections on the origins of names and their history, what to consider when choosing a name, and extensive analysis of current naming practise and its evidently based on excellent scholarly research.

Well done to the author as this book succeeds where many have failed dismally.
