100,000 + Baby Names: The Most Complete Baby Name Book

Fun, Informative Lists - Great for Writers

I stumbled across this book in the sale section, and I'm very happy with my purchase. I've always been fascinated by names and their meanings, but this book also has many detailed lists explaining what the name is associated with (ex. names inspired by fictional characters). Great guide for writers as well.

Good Book for researching names

Very good book to start with when trying to determine what name to choose, however, there are lots of names in the book that are duplicates which if they're really talking about 100,000 is a stretch.

But, good place to start

100,000 Baby Names

I love names, and this book has one hundred thousand of them! I really enjoyed the beginning section of fun statistics of names, and just the sheer number of names. One thing I would change though, would to to omit the name variants after each name, in favor of pronunciations. I would rather know how to correctly pronounce a name, than know all the made-up nick-names for it. I still enjoy it and use it for reference, but I also need to get a second names book for pronunciations.

Great But....

This book is great and has a lot of interesting name ideas, but I think it might actually have too many names and variations. Maybe it would be better if instead of having a different entry for every different spelling and telling you to refer back to the original name for the meaning, all of the variations should just be listed under one name with the same definition. Great book though :)

100 names repeated 1,000 times each

If you have time to read the same names in about 500 different categories that they can fit into, this is the perfect book for you. Or if you are specifically looking to name your baby after a celebrity, celebrity's child, an artist of some type, a president or some other specific category...you'll find those categories here.

The best baby name book!

I am an immense lover of names and this book has the best collection and the most diversity and information I've seen yet. Whether you are naming your children, animals, or characters in your next work of art, this is a great source for inspiration.

Get it! You will like it

This book was awsome! Since we have 5 children (Opal, Delaney, Christoper, Hannah, and Marty). We had no idea what to name our next baby girl. So my husband and I chose Vanessa. I hope you like it.

A reviewer

This is a great baby name book in that it is not only vast it's also an interesting read! There are facts about names and various blurbs about others naming their babies and interesting 'and unfortunate' names. This book has lists of most common names of various decades and you can see where the name you picked ranked in popularity the last few years. We had perused many baby name books, but this is the one that we liked the most. Honestly, they all pretty much have the same names, right?! This book puts a nice spin and new perspective on an exciting, sometimes frustrating, time of our lives that is heavy with the responsibility in giving a child the perfect name. We used this book when selecting names for our twins and I definitely recommend this one!
