Customer Reviews

The biggest load of Rubbish I have ever laid eyes on!1
If you are looking for a fun stylish and fun name for your baby......this is most definatly NOT the book for you.
It is in fact a book full of the most ridiculous names I have ever come across and will be going promptly in the bin!
With names such as Mailhairer, which the book translates as 'ill fated man' what hope would your child have!
Anyway, to cut a long story short, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!

Possibly the worst baby name book in the world1
Ever heard of the names Francis, Frank, Frankie, Edgar, (as in Alan Poe) or Roxane (the muse of the Cyarano de Bergerac, wife of Alexander the Great and a song by The Police)? Congratulations you are already more informed about baby names than whichever deluded soul wrote this book. They even get the origins of some names wrong. As if that wasn't enough the quality of the paper is akin to that of recycled toilet tissue. Have I made myself clear? In summary, this product is not recommended.

Don't waste your money!2
Although this book may well have 25,001 names in it, my friends and family struggled to find more than 1 or 2 on each page that we had ever heard of! It may well have a US-bias, but even having lived there for a while - I still think most of these names are entirely made-up! It's my own fault for going for the cheapest book I suppose, however, if you're looking for something EXTRA unusual and names like Xoan, Gozal and Corky appeal - this may be the book for you! Otherwise, I would say stick to internet surfing and other UK books!
