Format:Paperback
I'd recommend this book. What makes it stand out is the advice on the psychology of names. There is a lot in it that is really interesting, even if you aren't having a baby, in that I did not realise how much a name can affect you in life.

Format:Paperback
I'd really recommend this book. What makes it different is that as well as listing the names, their meanings, origins etc, it also have some fascinating information on the social effects of names. It summarises a lot of academic research on the subject that is really interesting even if you're not trying for a baby! An excellent read.

Format:Paperback
We bought this book on the recommendations and the fact that it has over 14000 names but we didn't find this very helpful.
After spending a good few hours going through pages after pages of this book, we only had a small shortlist of names. There is a vast amount of names but we wanted something quite traditional and english and this book covers all cultures and countries.
If you are looking for something unusual then this would be the book for you. For those looking for a traditional English name this wasn't so helpful and I found the same ideas on the internet.

Brilliant baby names
I thought this book was very informative. If you're looking for a book with a huge choice of more common and also unusual names, including in particular a wealth of English,... Read more

Very bad baby name book
When purchasing this book i thought that this would hold a lot of original English names. This book is very poor and i would not recommend this to any parents. Read more

Informative and well written
This book is excellent - so much more than a list of names and meanings. Very informative and well written.

Very good...
Very good at what it does- i.e. the names, meaning and origins seem accurate, and some of them have amusing stories about the origins of that name. Read more

Interesting and novel approach
A really interesting and novel variant on the idea of a book of names. A thorough selection of names and their meanings, but it is more than that. Read more
