100,000+ Baby Names by Bruce Lansky, May 10, 2008

This review is from: 100,000+ Baby Names (Paperback)

This book is a waste of time. The author collected all names from around the world but did not bother to check their meaning, origin, etc. Many names are associated with ridiculous non-facts or false facts. Many others do not have their origin as stated. We know that for sure about polish names – we come from Poland; but we noticed the same thing with many other names as well. Very weak book.

This review is from: 100,000 + BABY NAMES:The Most Complete Baby Name Book (Paperback)

Considering the size of the book I was disappointed in the lack of information and meanings given. They are mostly one word meanings, if there is a meaning at all. Mostly it seems like it wants to take you in a big circle of reference from one name to the next never quite giving you what you are looking for. It wasn’t helpful for me. I found “The Babyname Wizard” book A LOT more informative and helpful.

Besides American and Christian names the book lists many ethnic names: African, Indian, Arabic, Chinese, Irish, Italian, etc. <br/>I can't comment on the quality and accuracy of all the names, but being East Indian I do have a fair bit of knowledge regarding Indian names. <br/>The problems with this book: <br/>1. Many of the name meanings are wildly inaccurate. <br/>2. Some boys names were incorrectly classified as a girls name and vice-versa. <br/>3. Some Arabic names were incorrectly classified as Indian. <br/>4. Quality: many Indian names listed in this book are archaic and woefully outdated-- the sort of name that conjures up images of someone in their 80s. The American equivalent would be names like Ebenezer or Nimrod. Those names were popular at some point in the 1880s, but how many parents would give that name to their child today =) <br/>The bottom line: there are a wide variety of names to be found here, but if you're going to go with a name you are unfamiliar with be sure to check alternate sources for meanings, source attribution and gender-appropriateness. <div style="padding-top: 10px; clear: both; width: 100%;"> <div style="float:left; padding-right:15px; border-right:1px solid #CCCCCC"><div style="padding-bottom:5px;"><b class="tiny" style="color:#666666;white-space:nowrap;">Help other customers find the most helpful reviews</b> </div><div style="width:300px;"> <a name="R1N72TJEURTY6H.2115.Helpful.Reviews" style="font-size:1px;"> </a><span><span class="votingPrompt">Was this review helpful to you? </span><a rel="nofollow" class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1N72TJEURTY6H/Helpful/1/ref=cm_cr_ifvoteyn/182-2545224-0153843?ie=UTF8&token=709943592C565E89D3683C3078F220091B5FF0FD&target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QtcmV2aWV3cy8wNjg0MDM5OTkwL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9pZnZvdGVyZHIvMTgyLTI1NDUyMjQtMDE1Mzg0Mz9fZW5jb2Rpbmc9VVRGOCZzdW1tYXJ5PTAmYWxpbmtDb2RlPXhtMiZ0YWc9c2hvcHBpbmdpbmZvbC0yMCZ2PTImbGlua0NvZGU9eG0yJmFzaW49MDY4NDAzOTk5MCZ0cnVuY2F0ZT01MDAwJmFraWQ9QUtJQUkyQzZaUjRISjJPNTJDVlEmc2lnPTRvJTJGcmI5Q0Z4bzhsME1xQjg0MWlCYXR3NHhBWVJ5MGtJd3M2VWwyTVg4cyUzRCZleHA9MjAxMi0wMS0xNVQwOSUzQTA4JTNBNTVaJmF0YWc9c2hvcHBpbmdpbmZvbC0yMA&voteAnchorName=R1N72TJEURTY6H.2115.Helpful.Reviews&voteSessionID=182-2545224-0153843"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-yes-sec-md._V192249951_.gif" width="35" alt="Yes" style="vertical-align:middle;" height="18" border="0"/></a> <a rel="nofollow" class="votingButtonReviews" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1N72TJEURTY6H/Helpful/-1/ref=cm_cr_ifvoteyn/182-2545224-0153843?ie=UTF8&token=A9D7E5020C3518BF46DA1FE7A438A06AB4BCA645&target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QtcmV2aWV3cy8wNjg0MDM5OTkwL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9pZnZvdGVyZHIvMTgyLTI1NDUyMjQtMDE1Mzg0Mz9fZW5jb2Rpbmc9VVRGOCZzdW1tYXJ5PTAmYWxpbmtDb2RlPXhtMiZ0YWc9c2hvcHBpbmdpbmZvbC0yMCZ2PTImbGlua0NvZGU9eG0yJmFzaW49MDY4NDAzOTk5MCZ0cnVuY2F0ZT01MDAwJmFraWQ9QUtJQUkyQzZaUjRISjJPNTJDVlEmc2lnPTRvJTJGcmI5Q0Z4bzhsME1xQjg0MWlCYXR3NHhBWVJ5MGtJd3M2VWwyTVg4cyUzRCZleHA9MjAxMi0wMS0xNVQwOSUzQTA4JTNBNTVaJmF0YWc9c2hvcHBpbmdpbmZvbC0yMA&voteAnchorName=R1N72TJEURTY6H.2115.Helpful.Reviews&voteSessionID=182-2545224-0153843"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/reviews/btn-no-sec-md._V192249949_.gif" width="35" alt="No" style="vertical-align:middle;" height="18" border="0"/></a> <span class="votingMessage"/></span> </div></div><div style="float:left;"><div style="padding-left:15px;"><div style="white-space:nowrap;"><span class="tiny"> <a name="R1N72TJEURTY6H.2115.Inappropriate.Reviews" style="font-size:1px;"> </a><span class="reportingButton"><nobr><a rel="nofollow" class="reportingButton" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/voting/cast/Reviews/2115/R1N72TJEURTY6H/Inappropriate/1/ref=cm_cr_ifvoteyn/182-2545224-0153843?ie=UTF8&token=E5E44D3114F9DB3178BF5913DDF62E78ED01BDB5&target=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QtcmV2aWV3cy8wNjg0MDM5OTkwL3JlZj1jbV9jcl9pZnZvdGVyZHIvMTgyLTI1NDUyMjQtMDE1Mzg0Mz9fZW5jb2Rpbmc9VVRGOCZzdW1tYXJ5PTAmYWxpbmtDb2RlPXhtMiZ0YWc9c2hvcHBpbmdpbmZvbC0yMCZ2PTImbGlua0NvZGU9eG0yJmFzaW49MDY4NDAzOTk5MCZ0cnVuY2F0ZT01MDAwJmFraWQ9QUtJQUkyQzZaUjRISjJPNTJDVlEmc2lnPTRvJTJGcmI5Q0Z4bzhsME1xQjg0MWlCYXR3NHhBWVJ5MGtJd3M2VWwyTVg4cyUzRCZleHA9MjAxMi0wMS0xNVQwOSUzQTA4JTNBNTVaJmF0YWc9c2hvcHBpbmdpbmZvbC0yMA&voteAnchorName=R1N72TJEURTY6H.2115.Inappropriate.Reviews&voteSessionID=182-2545224-0153843"></a></nobr></span> </span> <span style="color:#CCCCCC;">|</span> <span class="tiny"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1N72TJEURTY6H/ref=cm_cr_if_perm/?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0684039990&nodeID=&tag=shoppinginfol-20&linkCode=xm2" target="_top"></a></span></div><div style="white-space:nowrap;padding-left:-5px;padding-top:5px;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1N72TJEURTY6H/ref=cm_cr_if_cmt/182-2545224-0153843?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0684039990&nodeID=&tag=shoppinginfol-20&linkCode=xm2#wasThisHelpful" target="_top"><img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/x-locale/communities/discussion_boards/comment-sm._V192250344_.gif" width="16" alt="Comment" hspace="3" align="absmiddle" height="16" border="0"/></a> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/review/R1N72TJEURTY6H/ref=cm_cr_if_cmt/182-2545224-0153843?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0684039990&nodeID=&tag=shoppinginfol-20&linkCode=xm2#wasThisHelpful" target="_top">Comments (2)</a></div></div></div><div style="clear:both;"/> </div> <br/></div>

Incorrect meanings/classifications for ethnic names, July 29, 2007
By 
Armani (NJ, USA) –
This review is from: 100,000 + BABY NAMES:The Most Complete Baby Name Book (Paperback)

First, let me state the obvious: You will find many, many names in this book. Besides American and Christian names the book lists many ethnic names: African, Indian, Arabic, Chinese, Irish, Italian, etc.
I can’t comment on the quality and accuracy of all the names, but being East Indian I do have a fair bit of knowledge regarding Indian names.
The problems with this book:
1. Many of the name meanings are wildly inaccurate.
2. Some boys names were incorrectly classified as a girls name and vice-versa.
3. Some Arabic names were incorrectly classified as Indian.
4. Quality: many Indian names listed in this book are archaic and woefully outdated– the sort of name that conjures up images of someone in their 80s. The American equivalent would be names like Ebenezer or Nimrod. Those names were popular at some point in the 1880s, but how many parents would give that name to their child today =)
The bottom line: there are a wide variety of names to be found here, but if you’re going to go with a name you are unfamiliar with be sure to check alternate sources for meanings, source attribution and gender-appropriateness.
