The best modern naming resource I've read.
I love the combination of numerology and the source of the names. This is very different to your average baby naming book.
Highly recommended for writers

This is a book worth reading and to consider when you want to name your baby- it gives rise to being more thoughtful about something many parents may consider an everyday occurrence.
It made me consider; matching the first name alongside the last name, the meaning behind the name, the history of the first name, whether it works with other children in the family.
I found the names of those I knew matched them so well, it was a lesson really on thinking more deeply about something a person will have for a lifetime and hopefully will love and feel ok about.
**I can't recommend this book if you have strong ideas about naming your child after a thing/object.

For a book greatly pertaining to letter-number conversions, whoever picked the font for this edition was overlooking something critical... The number "1's" and letter "I's" were identical which definitely upset the information flow.

Great, if you have a metaphysical side (which I do).

More like 2.5. Interesting enough I guess.
