This book has quite a few unique names. It's a good change from some of the other same-ol-same-ol name books.

A fun baby name book to read. They classify the names by uncool, cool and cooler. For example: Anne (uncool), Anna (cool) and Anya (cooler).

interesting, though many names seemed random as fillers.

Entertaining enough.

I like the way the names are categorized in this book: "place names", "supermodel names", "outer space names"; each category only takes up about 2 pages and the names are surprisingly relevant. Beats those A-Z books that have hundreds of names with ridiculous spellings like Aan, Aann, Aen, and other such bullshit that no one in their right mind really has enough patience to skim through.

My daughter's name happened to be in this book and I found a couple good suggestions for our next. Also, I like to whip out this book when naming characters for my short stories.

I thought this book was ridiculous when a friend gave it to me. But in the end, I found the groupings and classifications to be fairly helpful. It also completely decoded the trends in naming that I had observed but not really been able to identify or analyze. Here it is, all laid out for you-- whether you want to avoid the trends or jump right in them, you'll at least know where your choices fit.
