    expected more

    sure it says 15,000 baby names, but it's actually only about 200 and the rest are just various spellings of the same names. I was dissapointed.

    Waste of $2

    Hardly any names. Mostly just all the old-fashioned ones. It's pretty bad when I could think of several common names that aren't even in the book. Got nothing out of it.
