Summary: Good Source for Naming Characters in Stories
Comment: I enjoy writing stories and since most of them are set in either fantasy worlds and worlds that are like ours, no magic, but still made up, I need a book of names that lists names besides the normal everyday names and this book provides that. The spellings may be creative but they have given me plenty of ideas for having characters with names that are similar to the normal names of today but still different enough to sound otherwordly.
I have no idea as to the accuracy of the meanings of the names since all my baby name books contradict each other for the more unusual ones anyway.
This may not be the best book for parents wanting to name their child, though I have found several names I would love to use for my children when I have them. Normal sounding but unusual enough not to have twenty other children running around with the same name in the park.
All in all I loved this book. It may have its flaws but whenever I need a name for a character I turn to it more often than any of my other ten name books since it is the one of the ones with the unusual names and different spellings.
Rating: 2
Summary: Full of mistakes and out of touch
Comment: I have to echo the earlier reviewer about this book's treatment of names from different cultures. The author proudly proclaims that he's broadened his cultural reach with this book, with new suggestions for Spanish names -- Sierra and Nevada!! -- and French names -- Brie and Chardonnay!!! It seems that his cultural research didn't extend past the contents of his refrigerator.
Rating: 1
Summary: This book is dreadful
Comment: The names are bizarre and the tally is ridiculous. They consider "Ceejay" a name, short for C.J. Enough said.
