Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, church members, and others will appreciate this comprehensive collection of baby names. This selection includes both popular and unusual names for boys and girls. Each listing also features the meaning of the name and a special Bible verse indicative of its virtue (even for non-biblical names). Name That Baby! encourages parents to give their children names that reflect a rich historical tradition.
This book makes an execellent and unique shower gift. it is also available in a hardcover gift set with 600 girls/boys names. I have found several names that are not in the Bible as well.
I keep it on my desk...don't ask!

Okay, I don't have kids, so I don't know how helpful this book would be to someone who is expecting, but it has proven very useful to me. I like to make up stories and do character sketches (confession: aspiring author) and I like to find beautiful names that are also meaningful and unusual. This book has all of it: unusual, common, and some of the slightly far out and their meanings. I love to look up the meaning of my friends' and family's names...so far, every name I've looked up has been in it. This book is worth every penny I payed for it plus having the handsome young salesclerk eye my tummy when I bought it. Sigh.
