Reviews

[Melina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Decent selection of interesting and rarely-encountered names (in the US) but it is a very taste-specific book, not for the parent seeking names in general. There are also some errors, the usual erroneous meanings as well as the common problem w/ "tribal" names is often there is a circle of error where one book/source will list a name as a particular tribe when in reality it isn't, and this is especially common with the Native American names.
