Yes, your baby’s perfect name is out there.
The trick is finding it.

The perfect baby name will speak to your heart, give your child a great start in life—and maybe even satisfy your relatives.  But you can't expect to just stumble on a name like that in an A to Z dictionary or on a trendy list.

That’s why you need The Baby Name Wizard. Created by a name-searching mom, it uses groundbreaking research and computer generated models to pinpoint each name’s image, examine its usage and popularity over the last 100 years, and suggest other promising ideas. A perfect guide to the modern world of names, The Baby Name Wizard will engage you from the first name you look up and keep you enchanted through your journey to the just-right name for your baby.

Great gift
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
I gave this book as a gift to my best friend who expected her first child.
She had so much fun going thru all the names.


Disappointing
Customer Rating: 3 out of 5 
I was disappointed with this book. She includes a lot of information ... but completely leaves out the meanings of names! I'd have to have yet another baby name book on hand to complete what this author leaves out. I would recommend Bruce Lansky's Five-Star Baby Name Advisor instead, because he has all the information Wattenberg includes (minus sibling-name suggestions) plus meaning and how likely the name is to be spelled or pronounced incorrectly. Those are all good things for a parent to consider! Also, I realize name opinions are subjective, but I found myself disagreeing with quite a few of this author's; she seems to miss some pretty obvious drawbacks or associations with certain names, and has odd taste in names that she thinks *should* be used more often (Edgar? Really??).

The Book for naming your baby
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
My wife and I are having our first child - and have looked at several name books - had I read this one first - I would not have bought another book -

Interesting
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
Very interesting way to find a name. I didn't like the names that went with my son's name but still very neat. I would definitely recommend this!

WOW!
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
Although we STILL haven't picked a name for our baby, this book has had sooo many unique and classic names! It's organized so much differently than all the other name books, it's almost fun to read!
I would highly reccomend this book, especially if the parents are unsure of where to start with names.
