Found our baby's name in this book!.......2007-09-11
This is a great book for the analytical choosy type. We went through every name in the book and actually found the name for our son. We wanted to make sure we picked a rare name, and this book is a BIG help in finding those rarely used names.
boring.......2007-09-09
too long. i have no idea what the point of this book was. i hated it so much i couldn't get through the first chapter.
addictive reading.......2007-09-08
Much more helpful than a simple catalog of names, this book also makes extremely interesting reading. Why are some names ragingly popular, and why does a name appeal to us? How has a name historically risen and fallen in popularity? I can't begin to count the number of hours before bed I've spent reading this book.
Naming a child is a lovely responsibility. I think this book helps more than any other in making a decision that respects the individuality of the child, as well as the indulgences of the parents.
Very helpful.......2007-08-21
I loved this book. I went through so many name books before I found this one. The categories are fun to read through. I did not know that my name and the one I was considering for my daughter were highly popular in the 70s. All my Aunts' names were the "happy" names of the 50s. This book has very few uncommon names. If you are looking for something ethnic, this might disappoint. It didn't even have "Jolene" but it's pretty easy to guess what the meaning of that is. Because I was looking for a more normal name (even Anica, which I loved, sounded too foreign for my girl) this book was refreshing. I found the perfect name that fit all the categories I liked: Heather.
Great book!.......2007-08-17
I love this book! The author does more than define the names listed. She categorizes them, she shows recent trends, lists similar names to suggest alternatives, and she gives her opinion of each name without insulting or talking down to the reader. It's a great book for soon-to-be parents or anyone that's interested in names. The only slight problem is the fact that the book has been out for about two years, so the trends shown may no longer be entirely accurate, but you'll still be able to get a general idea of the popularity (or lack thereof).

GREAT BOOK.......2007-09-02
I PURCHASED IT USED AND LOVED IT. I WILL BE SELLING IT BACK. I LOVE HOW EVERYTHING WAS DIVIDED IN IT INTO SECTIONS. WE FOUND OUT BABY GIRL'S NAME IN IT :o)
Incorrect meanings/classifications for ethnic names.......2007-07-29
First, let me state the obvious: You will find many, many names in this book. Besides American and Christian names the book lists many ethnic names: African, Indian, Arabic, Chinese, Irish, Italian, etc.
I can't comment on the quality and accuracy of all the names, but being East Indian I do have a fair bit of knowledge regarding Indian names.
The problems with this book:
1. Many of the name meanings are wildly inaccurate.
2. Some boys names were incorrectly classified as a girls name and vice-versa.
3. Some Arabic names were incorrectly classified as Indian.
4. Quality: many Indian names listed in this book are archaic and woefully outdated-- the sort of name that conjures up images of someone in their 80s. The American equivalent would be names like Ebenezer or Nimrod. Those names were popular at some point in the 1880s, but how many parents would give that name to their child today =)
The bottom line: there are a wide variety of names to be found here, but if you're going to go with a name you are unfamiliar with be sure to check alternate sources for meanings, source attribution and gender-appropriateness.
A lot of names to look through!.......2007-01-10
I thought the book was great and had lots of interesting name ideas. It organzied names alphabetically but also in like-sounding names, names that were pairs, famous people's names, etc. The only thing I did not like was that the pronounciations were not provided. Other than that I thought the book had great ideas, was very organized, and I plan on passing it on to my pregnant friends.
Tons of names.......2007-01-10
As the title suggests, there are a ton of names in this book. I would have appreciated some more depth to at least a portion of the names. However, I really liked the sheer number of names. The names in this book went beyond the run-of-the-mill, most popular names. Some of the names are unrealistic and laughable. Overall, a good book to use as a starting point.
A lot of names..........2007-01-03
Although this book does have the huge number of names that it promises, many of them are just numerous spellings of the same name. I also did notice that the book contains lots of exotic names, and not as much of a focus on traditional names. So if you're looking for a name specific to your heritage (like you're parents are from Vietnam and you want a Vietnamese name), this is a great book. But if you're looking for something a little more mainstream, you may want to go with something else. The one thing that really made me a little mad, though, was that they misspelled a country's name (just so happened to be the one that my baby's father is from, so I noticed). I don't have the book with me right now, but I think they put Tai rather than Thai (as in Thailand)!!! Get an EDITOR!!!

Customer Reviews:
Best name book around!.......2007-10-15
An easy and informative reference from the name gurus...
can't go wrong with this voluminous book - the name bible for those who want to be in the know!
Not really what you expect from the title..........2007-10-15
I expected each name to have the same information (for example, defintion, origin, etc.). However, not all names had the origin, not all names had a definition, and about half have the authors opinions and that's all...which I obviously don't share the same opinions of. I am only suffering through this book because it was a gift from my husband...and he agrees it sucks too!
inaccurate names.......2007-10-11
I would do further research before picking any name from a baby book. This one says that Briley is a modern made up name. It isn't. Briley is a Welsh last name. It is a contraction of Ab Riley, Meaning Son of Riley. Riley meaning Valiant. I have seen some girls with this name, but is traditionally a male name.
Fun, whimsical.......2007-07-15
I enjoyed how this book told me what names were "climbing the charts" and vice versa. The "celebrity baby name" sections are very interesting, as are the "if you like XXX, you might like XXX" sidebars. It has some funny commentary now and then. I think it could do without the downright silly -- like listing "50 Cent" as a name! -- but overall it's a fun name book to read through, and makes a good gift for any expecting parent.
A lot of names to sort through.......2007-07-05
Pros: Comprehensive book of names, gives origins, meanings and trends for some of the names along with many variations of a particular name. Many different lists throughout the book: international versions of names, nicknames, and the one I thought was useful -- If you like XXXXX, you might like the names.....
Cons: Comprehensive book of names--there were just too many names to sort through. We are looking for a more traditional name and there are too many pages of names that were just too "out there" for us.
Book Description
The up-to-the minute word on what's hot and what's not from "the arbiters of hip baby names."-The Wall Street JournalAs America's leading baby-name experts, Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz hear the same question again and again: "What are the cool names?"

Cool Names is the definitive guide to the hottest names.
Customer Reviews:
Not the best.......2007-06-27
This book did have some "interesting" ideas but it wasn't a very big book so your chances of finding a name that you really like are pretty slim. Especially since a lot of the ideas are totally weird names from video games, celebrity baby names, movies, and even a section with "Grandpa" names for little girls...what? Well, if you're looking for a really uncommon or unusual name, go for it, but I recommend also getting a name book with a lot more choices.
Not cool at all.......2007-06-13
I was a little skeptical about finding a "cool" name in a book called "Cool Names", and I was right to be. I know cool is a matter of opinion, but most of the names in this book are simply ridiculous-- is anyone actually going to name their child Salmon or Experience? This slim book appears to be random lists of words that the authors have grouped into categories like "Spiritual Names" or "Artist Names". If you are looking for a unique name I suggest The Baby Name Wizard, which will tell you about the popularity of a name, if it rising or declining in popularity and identify any pop culture references you may overlook (for example, that you are naming your child after a fish!)
I LOVE these books!.......2007-01-18
I adore the books these authors write; they are my soulmates! I have been interested in names ever since I was a child, and their books totally feed my craving. I love their insightful and intelligent advice, I love their humor, and I love lists! I love knowing WHY people (and celebrities) named their child what they did. Knowing trends is very important to me; I would never want my child to be one of 5 of the same name in her class as I was with "Susan". These books have their finger on the pulse, and also give lots of alternative suggestions to popular names. I love their "So Far Out They're In" type categories. This book is a total winner, and very entertaining, unlike those "encyclopedias" of name meanings. I always lend mine to prospective mothers, and keep an extra copy just for that purpose.
Good for writers; not for parents-to-be.......2007-01-14
I'm a writer, so I'm always on the lookout for interesting names I might use for some characters. I have about three people named Scott, five James's (all men), and a good three or four girls with the name Elizabeth. So I picked this up, thinking it might help me. There are some good ideas for character names in here (Narcissa, Dashiell, and Isolde), but I don't think it's a good idea to just smush a name together for a real person (who in their right mind would name their kid Moon?). Plus, it also promotes giving kids crappy names. What really made the star-rating go down for me was their section on grandpa/granddaughter names. It's offensive that they say names like Marshall, Stanley, Wallace, Gary, Randolph, Theodore, and Sherman shouldn't be used on a boy. It's okay to name a girl Marshall, though! After all, a girl obviously is stronger with a male name! "Rolls eyes". Bull. Giving a girl a name like Wallace or Stanley is nothing short of cruel. These are boy names and should stay that way. The same goes for Elliot. And also, a lot of these names aren't new. The -aden trend is already dated; there are so many Brayden/Caden/Jaydens nowadays. I gave it two stars because I found some good ideas in here for CHARACTERS or PETS! But it's only two because it's also suggesting that it's okay to give your kid a crappy name (or should I say, krappeigh, since creative spelling is where it's at nowadays).
What-ever.......2007-01-06
This book doesn't have anything unheard of. It has some lame make you own name ideas. Like instead of Anthony it's Anfrony. Lame.

Book Description
Hilarious, true, and inspirational, Hello, My Name is Mommy is for every pregnant woman and new mother who ever felt helpless and out of control instead of confident and aglow. Lynch taps into her own dysfunctional childhood and fears of becoming a mom to honestly talk real-girl to real-girl about what's really bothering many moms-to-be: -Does a woman's own screwed-up past doom her to repeat the cycle? -If a mommy was raised on raw hot dogs and second-hand smoke can she still be a good mommy? -Kids are kind of germy and gross, but thinking that doesn't make a person a bad mommy -Can a working mommy actually get back to it with Cheerios falling out of the old nursing bra? Dr. Spock may tell moms to trust their instincts, but a Misfit Mommy wants to do everything but. Mommies-to-be who feel like frauds and imposters won't feel alone anymore with this insightful and laugh-out-loud guide.
Customer Reviews:
Hello, my name is Braggart...........2007-02-21
Sheri Lynch's book is more a display of her achievements with a baby in tow rather than a humorous look at motherhood. I kept waiting for the funny, humorous one liners or stories to make me giggle, but instead found myself bored by Lynch's "look at me and what I have achieved" dribble.
Too dysfunctional.......2007-01-19
We're all a little dysfunctional and hope to not screw it up, but this book put so much emphasis on Mom's dysfunctionality that it became not relevant to us "normally screwed up" Moms. I was hoping for humor and good tips, this was not the book.
A Perfect Fit!.......2006-11-29
This is one of my favorite pregnancy/motherhood books! The first time I read it (yes, I've read it more than once in the past month) I laughed out loud the entire time. Sheri has a great ability to talk about serious matters in a lighthearted but helpful way. You won't find a four page list of essential layette items or a step by step guide to changing a diaper but this book has so much more to offer. It will help you discover some pretty profound things about yourself as a woman and a mom, especially if you feel that your own parents fell somewhat short in raising you. It will also help prepare you for the experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. I definitely recommend!
Great gift for a new mom!.......2006-11-10
Great book for during pregnancy or right after the birth of a baby. A funny look at motherhood!
A Must Read..........2006-06-07
for any expectant mother from a dysfunctional background, even if your father never held you at gunpoint, he just wasn't around, I think you can relate to the feelings Lynch describes and it's entertaining, hilarious at times!

The Name Book.......2007-09-28
This book is awesome...I had the loan of a older version and needed a newer version with more up to date names and their meanings. I am making bookmarks for our local Christian Book Shop to sell, and this has been really helpful. I am thoroughly pleased with my purchase.
Great.......2007-04-08
My husband and I find this book very helpful. It is in alphabetical order so it makes looking up a name easy.It also includes everything mentioned like all of the meanings and where the names comes from. It is a great tool other than the internet. Even though we are still looking for a name I am sure we wont have a problem finding one in this book.
Perfect for Staff Meetings.......2007-04-03
I absolutely loved using this book to develop a special page of name recognition for all my employees for a staff meeting. It was very effective and they felt very engaged in the whole message of the meeting.
Thanks loads.

Beautiful, unique names.......2006-03-17
After searching three other baby name books (that each boasted 20,000 names or more - one even had more than 50,000 from around the world) and finding nothing that worked for our first child, I borrowed this book from a friend and found the perfect name. The name my husband and I chose wasn't in any of the other books. The same thing happened to the friend who lent me The Name Book - she has never found her first-born's name in another baby name book.
The meanings in The Name Book are lovely, and the spelling variations allow parents to personalize names to their own tastes. Even though we knew the sex of our baby before she was born, it was still nice to have the boy and girl (and unisex) names listed together - it just gives you more options and it's easier to read.
I'm ordering my own copy of the book since we're expecting our second child this year. (By the way, my lending friend is done having children - but she's keeping the book just because it's so wonderful!)
Name Book.......2005-09-18
This book is comprehensive in its information, but does not try to be the same as other books with information about proper names. I appreciate the genderless organization, just alphabetical listings, with alternate spellings and nick-names included. Each name has the origin, although I found a few of them to be different from the expected and usual. The meanings and scripture associated with the names are the driving reason for my purchase of this book. I plan to use it as a teaching tool with my students, encouraging them with the meaning and scriptures for their names.

Everything you need to choose the best name for your baby.......2007-09-16
This is an amazing resource book with lots of lists, the meanings of all the names and really good introductory materials (that were very helpful). 100,001 names is a lot of names, so having some ways to think about them is very helpful. So were the lists of most popular names in categories such as country, ethnicity and religion. And I really liked the attributes of a perfect name (considerations such as sound, family names, nicknames, meaning, stereotypes, putting together first and last names, etc.). A tremendously useful book for naming babies (and even pets or characters in novels.) And fantastic shower gift.
More doesn't mean better.......2007-08-06
Ever thought of naming your baby Oder? What about Pekar? If so, then this book is for you. If not, you will have to wade through tens of thousands of unusable names that are there just as filler.
Fabulous baby naming book!.......2007-07-16
I love this book! Lots of advice on choosing the perfect name for your baby. Great lists not only to choose from, but to spark you own imagination. Highly recommended.
Book Description
This dictionary contains Hebrew and English names together with an analysis of their meanings and origins. Included among the more than 11,000 entries are a large number of biblical names suitable for use today, plus practically every Hebrew first name currently in use in Israel. Popular talmudic names and Yiddish names are also included. The correct spelling of Hebrew and Yiddish names is indicated in Hebrew script immediately following each main entry. Also features a comprehensive Hebrew Name Vocabulary, in which one will find Hebrew (and Yiddish) names grouped according to meaning and transliterated into English.
Customer Reviews:
Helpful in the naming game.......2002-09-03
The best thing about this book was something that I saw in no other book. One of the ways we were looking at to name our child was to find words (or the meaning of the names for those we were naming for) and finding the hebrew word that meant that. This is the only book with a dictionary in the back of words (i.e., if you look up song, you will find Shira, if you look up Strong, you will find Ethan). So it was helpful when we were looking at naming in that way. There are so many names in here, it is great - not all of them are Jewish, per se, but all names seem to be in the book. It was extremely helpful in naming our child!
dislikes of internet sells.......2001-03-29
I wanted to take a quick look over the internet but the people who programed this site will not let you scan the book for one second. It is sad that you would have to by the book just to look for one sorry thing. And I am ashamed at the situation.And at the creaters of this site for not giving anyone the chance to look before they buy.
A complete Jewish-American name book........1998-04-26
I found this book to be the best, most complete book of names for an English-speaking parent-to-be of Jewish heritage. Everything is included: English/Anglo-Saxon/American (even some Spanish and French), and of course, Yiddish, Biblical/Talmudic, and Israeli names.
Product Description

The Best Celtic Name Book .......2004-10-12
When I was pregnant with my first child I searched all over for Celtic/Scottish baby name books. This one took the cake! There are so many names and excellent descriptions of the meanings. I loved reading it. My husband and I found the perfect name for our son in it. I am now pregnant with the second and will definitely use this book to find a name. It is well worth the money.
Celtic names deciphered.......2002-05-13
Finally a Celtic baby names book with both pronunciation and background on the names! I am a writer and I found it particularly useful with my writing. Alternate spellings are also given.
A fun-to-read resource.......1999-04-22

All entries are cross-referenced and include variants of spelling and pronunciation guides. Commentary includes the names in myth, as well as regional popularity of the names.

Great book for learning beginning French.......2007-10-09
I used this book for a college introductory course and it was much better than any that I had ever used in high school. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn french. The cd was also very helpful in helping me to learn how to pronounce.
not a book for French beginners.......2005-09-28
I don't like this book, actually i am taking French in college now, this is the textbook for my elementary course. but i don't think it is a book for beginners, there are too much infor in one chapter. and it never makes it clear the grammar points/pronunciation, the CDs read very fast to catch up with.
