Summary: I can't believe this book
Comment: This book was a waste of money. The book never touches on Hindu or Middle Eastern names other than Jewish. It is very judgemental and seems to make fun of people. I would not ever recommend this book to anybody. It is so trendy it even has "seen on Oprah" on the cover. Save your money for a latte or something trendy that tastes good. Forget the trendy books, and please forget the trendy names!! Find one you like and your child will not be made fun of. I suggest trying to come up with nicknames for any name you choose. Remember Deloris!:)

Summary: Best baby name book ever!
Comment: This book was so entertaining and insightful. Sure, sometimes it was opinionated, but it's nice to hear a few opinions about a name anyway. I really enjoyed their perspective. It's a few years old, however - go with the new edition: The Very Last Word on First Names. Haven't seen it, but it's sure to be good.

Summary: The Last Word on First Names
Comment: The authors possess a modicum of knowledge relative to the meaning of some names, but their presumption that they are in some ways arbiters of what qualifies as an "attractive" name is laughable. They authors judge that there are many "far more attractive" names than Vance for a boy, but Fred, Caleb, Barney, Moe, Angus, Mack and Tully fared just fine as reasonable choices.
With all due respect to the Barneys, Moes and Freds of this world, I'm glad, as a Vance, that my parents did not read Satran's and Rosenkrantz's book. If it came down to these other choices or Vance, I'm happy to have settled for such an unattractive name.
