5.0 out of 5 stars A fully comprehensive guide to names, 17 Nov 2000
By A Customer
In this very extensive guide to the meaning of names, ten thousand are listed, including related information such as their literal and spiritual meaning, cultural origin and a verse of scripture.

Classic, contemporary and biblical names are all included and it is a wonderful book for choosing a name or just finding out the various meanings of the one you already have.

I was searching for a new surname and I found that this guide could possibly be used by others to find one as quite a few of the names seemed suitable for both christian and surnames.

A very interesting reference book to dip in and out of as the need arises.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing, 3 Mar 2008
Whilst there are a lot of names in this book they are mostly Christian based, and even include a verse of scripture for each name.

Also, the names are not organised by gender, in fact, there isn't any indication at all as to whether or not a name is for a girl/boy/unisex, very frustrating if you know the sex of your baby, as you have to wade through all the names, rather than being able to only review the names suited to boys or girls.
I would have personally thought that names categorised by gender would be an obvious must.

As I said previous, this is a Christian driven publication with a lot of information about Christian meanings and even the introduction harps on about the History of names in Christianity.
If you are Christian, it's an ok book, if not, pass on this one.
