 100,000 weird ethnic names (name your kid Jihad!!) August 6, 2010
Elisabeth
Bought this book hoping to find something interesting- instead I spent so much time wading through hindi and islamic names I finally gave up on finding anything appropriate. The crowning moment was finding "Jihad" as a suggested name- oh dear. On top of that, the book doesn't give decent name meanings, and refers back to the originating name. So it's mainly full of "see _____" in the meanings. It's a waste of money. I love baby name books, and this one is too congested with ugly names to be overly useful to an American parent, unless they already know the name they want anyway.
 helpful book July 23, 2010

good grief, this book has EVERY name. could have done without some of the different name origins. probably over half the names were of an origin i can't even pronounce so over half the book is useless to me. i guess in the way of 'comprehensive' name books, this one would probably win.
 Ever think about naming your baby Velveeta? How about Espn? July 12, 2010

Those are two of the names listed under "Brand" names for babies you might want to consider, along with "Pepsi" and "Disney". The lists that this book boasts are poorly constructed, repetitive, and often ridiculous. Food and beverage names include Pepper, Honey, & Ham.
The dictionary listing of names is comprehensive, but although it lists every possible way you could dream up to spell (phoenetically or not) each name, there is no pronunciation guide. There are much more useful baby books available-if you are looking for a dictionary of names, get one with a pronunciation key, and if you are wanting a book of lists, I like the ones in the Baby Name Wizard book much better. They aren't perfect, but they are more realistic and seem less contrived. These lists are trying WAY too hard.
 Wow...thats a lot of names June 28, 2010

I bought this book so my husband and I can start the search for a baby name and sadly the search continues...but only because this book goes on forever! I like the size, but it can be a little overwhelming. If your looking for size this is your book, but if you don't need something in your hands the internet can do the same thing.
Good book February 28, 2010
