5.0 out of 5 stars I found this book facinating, 15 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I found the book very useful while helping my daughter choose a name for her son, The name she eventually chose was Rhys,a very ancient and royal name bore by Welsh Celtic Kings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great unusual names, 25 Jan 2000
By A Customer
I agree that there are some wonderful names. The pronunciation and histories are especially helpful; however, the names are not divided into male or female, but purely alphabetically. Incredibly annoying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent source for Celt names, 5 Mar 2003
By Deborah MacGillivray "Author," (US & UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Wonderful assortment of names (not definitive and maybe difference of opinion on some)> Not divided into male and female names, but then these days with a penchant for giving male names to females maybe I am being picky.

It gives the meaning of the names, drawn from Celt Languages of Scots Gaelic, Welsh, Manx, Beton and Cornish - 1200 traditional first names from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, and the Isle of Mane, with the pronunciations, and interesting tidbits about people that had the name. The only US book with names offering this wide of a selection. Since many people have trouble with pronouncing these names, the pronunciations guide is every helpful.

Of special interested to writers looking for Celt derivative characters for their books.
