Waste of money.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pick a Pretty Indian Name for (Paperback)
I bought this book as the title looked very promising. I thought that this may end up being the only book we needed to find a name for our baby. When the book arrived I was impressed by the layout and the separate sections for male and female names. But the quality of production including paper is dismal. But my main complaint by far is with the content. Most of the names are pretty common and the ones that are not common are not regular names. They are not even names that anyone would consider fot their babies. Many of the meanings are also wrong. I would definitely recommend other books such as The Penguin Book of Hindu Names (Maneka Gandhi) or Vimla Patil's book but do not waste your money on this one.

Definitely Helpful In Canada,
By Lynn (Ottawa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pick a Pretty Indian Name for (Paperback)
We found this book to be very helpful in picking an Indian name for our Canadian-born baby. The organisation takes some getting used to -- the names are not in alphabetical order, but rather, are organised based on the number of letters in the name. Once you're used to the style, it makes a lot of sense -- the authors feel that really long names (more than 10 letters and/or four syllables) aren't easily pronounced by English-speaking North Americans, and they're right. So, the names at the start of each letter -- the short ones -- are your best bets. They also make an effort to mark names that are easily pronounced in English, as well as those that might result in especially bad pronounciation. Although I'm sure this book has its faults in terms of name meanings, it certainly is a great way to find an English-friendly baby name. I've yet to find a name on any Indian Baby Names website that wasn't in this book.
