Lacking....,
By Ruben R. (Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Como Te Llamas Baby (Paperback)
I ordered this book and Nombres Exoticos Para Bebe. At first glance this book was 5 times thicker then NEPB, but upon futher review it lacked substance. It is a nice setup in the way they have the meaning of every name both in spanish and english. The problem was the names where mostly common spanish names such as Roberto or Alejandra and even some stranger names that just sounded funny. I still haven't finished going thru the whole book mainly because of the the lack of nice names. The type is small and I found myself squinting to read some of the meanings to my wife. The biggest disappointment was the book was split into half. Meaning from page X to X the meaning where in Spanish and from page X to X they where in english not sure why use this approach and waste ink and paper instead the meaning should of been together first in one language and then in the other not print the name twice. Maybe they where trying to make the book look big.?

Here is the definitive guide to finding Hispanic names for our precious babies. Well researched and user friendly, I have found a treasure. No where, until this book came out, have I seen a name book that illustrates and gives such pride to our great culture. Both in English and Spanish, it offers sections on names that come from nature, the church, saints, a saint's calender, as well as does a terrific job of offering indigenous names too.Be sure to read the forward, the author's mother's story on how she named her was touching to the deepest heart, especially for any soon to be parents.

A bit of a rip-off,
By Beth A. "bethali" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Como Te Llamas Baby (Paperback)
The book looks big but the trick is that only some of the pages actually have names and the rest is fluff. Plus, it's bilingual - you flip it over and the same stuff is repeated in Spanish to make a small book look worth the price. You can find the same names for free on the internet...

Same name, different language,

This review is from: Como Te Llamas Baby (Paperback)
This was not as good as it could have been. Many of the same names were just be translated from Spanish to English and back.
