Title: The Complete Book of Hebrew Baby Names by Smadar S. Sidi ISBN: 0-06-254850-6 Publisher: Harper SanFrancisco Pub. Date: 31 May, 1989 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (5 reviews)
Rating: 2
Summary: Complete, but not reliable
Comment: Don't assume that a name from this book is genuine Hebrew name and will be familiar in Israel or to a native Hebrew speaker.
Thankfully before naming my baby I ran a few names from this book by friends who are Hebrew speakers living in Israel. Some of the names turned out to be not of Hebrew origin at all when the book claimed it to be true (for example, girl's name Luz). Some they told me were my invention (Rafaela for a girl - never heard of in Israel; the book never mentioned that even though of Hebrew origin, this name is not used for girls in Hebrew). Some had the meanings wrong (Adah means "eternal", not a variant of Adi meaning adornment as the book claims).
So the verdict is, read it for ideas of what you might like, but take it ALL with a big grain of salt.
Rating: 3
Summary: A little disappointing.
Comment: I was a little disappointed with this book, mainly because it was published in the 80's and the lists are those used in the 80's, and not current for today (2003).
Rating: 5
Summary: A great resource!
Comment: I have to confess right up front that I have a "thing" for names. Therefore, I own lots and lots of "name your baby" books. For naming your Jewish baby, this book is the best! The list of names is extensive with lots of uncommon (here in the States) choices. The book provides the Hebrew spelling as well as the English spelling. There also is a rating system showing the name's popularity in the U.S. and in Israel. If you're looking for a name for your Jewish baby and you want to go beyond the usual Sarah, Rebecca, Leah, Rachel, Jacob, etc., you need this book!
