From Amazon.com

For expectant parents, it's part of the tradition to pore endlessly over baby-name books searching for the perfect moniker. Names carry stereotypes, vary in perceived attractiveness (a blond bombshell named Gertrude?), and help influence how we see ourselves. As Sigmund Freud once said, "A human being's name is a principal component in her person, perhaps a piece of his soul." In Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana, name experts Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran present a baby-name book that goes far beyond the usual name lists and definitions. Satran and Rosenkrantz provide a thorough history of American naming traditions, discuss the psychological and sociological impact of names, and, yes, include list after list after list of possibilities organized into categories: popular names, old-fashioned names, comfy names, yuppie names, African-American names, androgynous names, Shakespearean names, unpopular names, creative names, mythological names, effective and ineffective middle names, classical names... and so on. Annotated with humorous notes, descriptions, quotes, and name-derivation definitions, the book is a fun and fascinating read even for those not debating between Gravity and Jane or Mason and Hendrick. --Ericka Lutz --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.

This review is from: Beyond Jennifer And Jason Madison And Montana: What to Name Your Baby Now (Paperback)
This book looks at Style of Name Popularity , Imagi Sex, Tradition, Family, also star babies are includeed. The meaning however are not included which I find lacking but this is a good nsme book for parents who need a starting point and have other baby name books to find meanings in.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Best Baby Name Book Out There, Juil 11 2004
Par Un client
I loved this book when picking a name for my first child. Those books of lists like "27,585,884 Baby Names Volume XXVIII" are a dime a dozen. This is a fun, informative, and useful book that puts baby naming in perspective. It's important to think about things like "If I name my first child X, how will that affect what I name my second child?" It also offers invaluable advice about the psychology of different types of names and how they can affect not only the child, but how the child feels in comparison to siblings (like if you have two daughters and name one Juliet and the other Pat, those girls are going to see themselves very differently).

4.0étoiles sur 5 Very Helpful and Entertaining!, Jui 20 2004
Par Un client
This review is from: Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana: What to Name Your Baby Now (Paperback)
I have the original Beyond Jennifer and Jason book, and I'd like to look at this updated one. One of the things that I like is the way they help parents choose names for siblings. I'm having a second child, and this will help me find a name that sounds great with my first child's name. I know I'll be signing the names together on cards, and saying their names in the same sentence all the time, so this will be a big help!

2.0étoiles sur 5 I didn't find this book helpful at all.
I am returning this book. I needed a book that gives lists of names, not lengthy explanation about cultural choices for names. Read more

2.0étoiles sur 5 Not the best
Not very helpful. Would have liked more names and meanings rather than lists of names by type. Some food for thought though.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Disappointed
This book wasn't helpful to me at all. I didn't even bother to finish it. It just puts names into arbitrary groupings, which (as I said) wasn't really helpful. Read more

5.0étoiles sur 5 Great book; Different from others
I loved the way this book organized the baby names. I have several other books that just list names from A-Z and it is SO time consuming to read through every name! Read more
