Beautiful, unique names
After searching three other baby name books (that each boasted 20,000 names or more - one even had more than 50,000 from around the world) and finding nothing that worked for our first child, I borrowed this book from a friend and found the perfect name. The name my husband and I chose wasn't in any of the other books. The same thing happened to the friend who lent me The Name Book - she has never found her first-born's name in another baby name book.The meanings in The Name Book are lovely, and the spelling variations allow parents to personalize names to their own tastes. Even though we knew the sex of our baby before she was born, it was still nice to have the boy and girl (and unisex) names listed together - it just gives you more options and it's easier to read.I'm ordering my own copy of the book since we're expecting our second child this year. (By the way, my lending friend is done having children - but she's keeping the book just because it's so...

Excellent Research Resource
This book is an excellent research resource for the serious student seeking to learn the Father's symbolic language to us in regard to dreams & visions. This is not a regular run-of-the-mill book of baby names to choose from (although it provides an excellent resource for that as well). It is brief, concise & to the point with the language/cultural origin, inherent meaning, spiritual connotation & Scripture reference - & precisely because of this form, it is able to list so many names (over 10,000). It is an absolutely invaluable & wonderful research tool. Many, many, many thanks to the authors/compilers!

Very Handy Reference
I use this incredible book when creating custom "Personalized Acrostic Name Blessings" as gifts for just about every occassion, and also in ministry, through my publishing company, Chalfont House. I love that a theme verse is suggested to mesh with the meaning of the name. Or, if the meaning of the name is less than wonderful, an alternate "spiritual connotation" is suggested too. This allows me to help people feel better about their name. For example, I can change "Mary" which literally means "Bitterness" into "Blessed". I like the listing of alternate name spellings, and that the names are all alphabetical instead of by gender. This is a great resource!

Incorrect meanings/classifications for ethnic names
First, let me state the obvious: You will find many, many names in this book. Besides American and Christian names the book lists many ethnic names: African, Indian, Arabic, Chinese, Irish, Italian, etc.I can't comment on the quality and accuracy of all the names, but being East Indian I do have a fair bit of knowledge regarding Indian names.The problems with this book:1. Many of the name meanings are wildly inaccurate.2. Some boys names were incorrectly classified as a girls name and vice-versa.3. Some Arabic names were incorrectly classified as Indian.4. Quality: many Indian names listed in this book are archaic and woefully outdated-- the sort of name that conjures up images of someone in their 80s. The American equivalent would be names like Ebenezer or Nimrod. Those names were popular at some point in the 1880s, but how many parents would give that name to their child today =)The bottom line: there are a wide variety of names to be found...

Excellent service
I am rating them 5 stars because both the product and the customer service were/are excellent. I mention customer service because I did have to contact them after a slight problem.Amazon condensed my two-line title in the gift-tag field in such a way that a letter meant for the second line of the nameplate appears to be part of the first line instead. The vendor faithfully recreated what Amazon sent to them. I e-mail Trophy Central with the original Amazon confirmation e-mail (which shows the two lines correctly) to explain the problem, and the same evening I had an e-mail response, an apology, and a promise to quickly replace and send out a second nameplate. A couple of days later, I now have the corrected version.The lesson for potential buyers: if your two-line title is anything out of the ordinary, include in your gift tag description a foolproof explanation (maybe a line 1:..., line 2:... or something). That said, I'm sure my experience was/is rare,...

great product, great seller
Rosewood base, golden lettering on polished black plate. Much better than expected for the money. A very quality product. Here's a hint: you may not be able to figure out how to indicate what name you want on the plate. I couldn't. There's no place in the ordering process where you can indicate this. The answer is: order it, then send an email to the seller indicating what name you want. Amazon really should let us know this in advance. Probably many people start their order, then cancel it before completion when it looks like the item will be sent without them having a chance to say what they want put on it.

Very well written, informative, helpful and fun to read
My wife and I used this book yesterday to pick out our second daughter's name and had a lot of fun doing it. There are two main sections in this book. The first section gives great detail for each name including nicknames, variants, sister's and brother's names (what the author felt sounded like a nice match), style, usage timeline (a little graph that shows a period from 1900 until now and how often the name was used in that period) and a general description of the history around the name, significant facts and advice. The second half of the book categorizes names in groups like Saint's Names, 70's-80's names, Rugged Names, Place Names... The writing is funny, clever and helpful. The authors insights are keen and I felt like I shared her opinion on almost everything. Maybe everyone will, maybe that's just me.One of the things that stood out for us when searching for a name were the suggestions for brother and sister names. We already have a daughter Alaina (Laney) and...

Best Baby Name Book Ever
This book is a jewel of a find. It's not exhaustive lists of names that make you cross-eyed after 5 minutes. I hated going through other baby name books. This one gives a graph of the name's evolving popularity over time, classifies the name in groupings, gives suggestions of brother and sister names for baby etc. It has much more features that you'll have to read. My husband and I named our second child from the suggestions for, say example, Mia. There were names that sound like they belong to the same family like Zoe, Lilly, Ava etc. And if you like lists, there's that too!

On the fence about this one...
Okay, so there are a MILLION baby name books out there. I went with this one because I thought it might give cool first/middle name combos or something. But really, it just gave a somewhat limited list of names along with their current popularity status and historical usage via graph. Then the book shows this list recycled by name-type categories (like "Timeless", or "Guys and Dolls", or "Greek"). So the variety i was hoping for wasn't really there. That was kind of dissapointing. On the up side, this book showed me that a name is not unique just because it comes into my mind during an "ah-HA" moment-a lot of names are being used to death due to this kind of thinking. Just look at Madison or Chase! So I did obtain a guideline of what not to name my baby unless I want him/her to be one of 6 kids with the same name in his/her kindergarten class. I found that to be useful information. If you are looking to make sure you don't choose something over-used, OR if you are trying to...

The company said it expected most of the stores to be closed by May 12, adding, “Best Buy continues to have additional retail store locations – big boxes and standalone Best Buy Mobile stores – for customers to choose from in these affected... Following its announcement late last month outlining plans to close 50 of its “big box” stores across the US, electronics retail chain Best Buy issued a statement on Saturday revealing the specific stores facing closure. Indeed, Best Buy’s stores serve as little more than showrooms for some shoppers, who check out the product there first before hopping online to make a purchase — usually at a better price thanks to the low-cost overheads enjoyed by the online stores. Electronics retail giant Best Buy has named the 50 stores it plans to close as it struggles in the face of tough competition from e-commerce giants such as Amazon. Of the 50 stores, two (in Kansas City, MO and Scottsdale, AZ) have already been shut down while employees at a further six were notified late last month that their stores would also be closing. Locations of 2012 U. S. Best Buy store closings. Best Buy listed details of the remaining 42 stores — located across 22 states — which are to finish trading.

Buy domain names may seem like a daunting task when starting an Internet marketing niche.

All domains purchases have a potential upside, but in my opinion, starting with a significant purchase or set of purchases, within your investment budget, rather than looking to strike gold hand registering countless domain names is a better choice. With premium generic names that you have spent significant money on, there is potential in finding development partners willing to put time and money into the project to develop it. With hand registered names, this is not a likely scenario. Recently in the news, we heard of Michael Mann, one of the leading domain name investors in the world, hand registering 14,962 domains, costing over $100,000, in the span of 24 hours. With hand registered names, you can not borrow against them, unless you have owned them for several years, they have significant appraisal value, and you have proof there is market interest for the name.

Scenario two – have $119,696 to invest, purchase 5, five figure names. 00 domain names, as I feel confident Michael Mann’s recent purchases will prove to be fruitful. In the 42 months that we financed the name, we made back over 80k selling off the traffic to Google and Yahoo, but only had to pay the owner $30,000 in monthly payments.

Best Buy's board last week said it expected to take six to nine months to find a permanent replacement for CEO Brian Dunn, who resigned abruptly last week. Kathy Higgins Victor, who is also on the retailer's compensation and human resources committee, will chair the search committee.
