1.0 out of 5 stars highly opinionated, subjective and invidious., 26 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This is a supremely subjective, opinionated, gossip-driven mish mash on what the authors consider "stylish" ( to use their term).

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much Hollywood gossip!, 3 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Last Word on First Names: The Definitive A-Z Guide to the Best and Worst in Baby Names by America's Leading Experts (Mass Market Paperback)
All the information about origins and histories of names is wonderful-- both interesting and helpful. But the authors are too obsessed with what Hollywood celebrities are naming their kids, and all that gossipy fluff gets rather tiresome after awhile. Please-- take out the fluff, and use that space to give us a concise meaning for each name. THEN this book will truly be the only naming guide a prospective parent needs. And by the way, anyone who thinks Catherine Earnshaw was SAINTLY has obviously never read "Wuthering Heights" for herself.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the only baby name book you need!, 17 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Last Word on First Names: The Definitive A-Z Guide to the Best and Worst in Baby Names by America's Leading Experts (Mass Market Paperback)
Unlike boring name books with tons of lists, this one actually picks the best and worst names out there and gives you the authors personal opinions of them. And they have excellent taste! If you can't bear the thought of naming your baby Ashley or Brandon, this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was very enlightening. I enjoyed it.
I thought that the book was a very helpful tool in picking out my baby's name. When you give a baby a name it is going to last forever so choose it wisely. Read more
