Customer comments on this selection.
 Nothing of interest here
Every entry is identical. Tells you nothing of interest. The one thing you want to know, what the name means, is hard to find, if it's mentioned at all. Very disappointing.
 This is the best reference book on first names.
I have often found need for this book. It gives detailed etymologies of names, of famous persons bearing the name, and cross-references different forms of the name (as nick, male/female, and other languages). A name book done up as a proper reference book. It also has sections on Hindi/Indian and Muslim/Arabic names.
Comprehensive collection of names with meanings & origins.
Head and shoulders above all other name books I have seen. Well researched and extremely thorough.
