3.0 out of 5 stars Fair, depending on your purpose, 22 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This text offers a selection of Irish names, but does so in an eclectic and whimsical method, rather than in a clearly organized manner. Some sections have fictitious names, listed just for humour. On the other hand, some context is offerred in order for the reader to learn of Irish cultural context of names. Some sections include Irish Saints' Names, Irish Place Names, etc.

The largest drawback, in my opinion, is the deficiency in pronunciation assistance. Although the authors do provide some pronunciations, they do so only sporadically, and even then, often their provided glosses either confuse or contradict other sources. With truly Gaelic names and a readership unfamiliar with these names, more careful glossing is a strong need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best reference for Irish & Celtic names, 5 May 1998

By A Customer

My wife and I found this gem of a book after much hand wringing and searching of other better known baby name books. It provides a treasure of Irish and Celtic names new and old. It explains how these names came in and out of vogue. We found no other book that dealt so well with the Irish names. We have loaned it so many times that we needed a new copy.

2.0 out of 5 stars There was not enough assistance in pronunciation and meaning, 14 Jun 1999

By A Customer

My wife and I enjoyed the book but found it to be extremely deficient in providing pronunciation and also in defining the meaning of each name. The book also seemed a bit disjointed. It did not follow well from one section to the next, with the same name often appearing in multiple sections.
