Nicely done compendium of Baby Names with lots of extras
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
What I like best about this baby name book is the extra lists it contains of things like "Favorite names from Hollywood movies," "Names from hit songs," and "Favorite names listed by decade." Like most baby name books, this book contains thousands of interesing name choices, with their meanings and linguistic origins. The names are divided into Boys and Girls names. It also has some sound advice at the beginning of the book about spellings and other considerations which prospective parents should consider. My three children are long-since past the naming stage (and I chose so wisely...), but I love a book like this on my shelf for when I acquire a new pet or am writing a short story. It's a good reference source for everyone's library. This review is for the Kindle version of the book, which downloaded well onto my Kindle and was easy to use. Although I will be glad when Kindle puts in a feature which allows its readers to skip to marked pages and chapters.

This was just what I was looking for, a simple list of names with their meanings in alphabetical order by gender. It even has lists of interesting names (Most popular in 1990, most popular names for twins, ...) throughout. Excellent book.
