The Baby Name Bible --WDYT?

I have six children (with #7 on the way) and my absolute favorite baby name book has been Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana: What To Name Your Baby Now by Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz. I've recommended this book to so many people. But it was published awhile ago and I was ready for something new. Thankfully I discovered that Satran and Rosenkrantz just released a brand new book, called The Baby Name Bible. I pre-ordered it with Amazon and it just came this week. I ***love*** it and highly recommend it. It's 672 pages and just $10.

This book is part dictionary of names (with abundant comments!!) and part list format (like BJJMM). It's really well done.

Has anyone else read it?

I got the book, too, and have been having fun with it for the last week or so. I was a little bit afraid it would just be recycled stuff from their earlier books, but even though some of the entries are shortened versions of what was in Baby Names Now, most of it is new and so many more names are covered than ever before. Dh picked it up the other day for a couple of minutes and said he thinks it’s the best baby name book I’ve ever had. Don’t know if I agree, but it is really good. I definitely recommend it.

The authors have a new website to go with the release of the book. (Also fun!) Here’s the link: http://www.babynamebible.com/index.php.
