Customer Reviews

Are you looking for a unique beautiful name? Then you found the right book!

While pregnant with our daughter, my wife and I had looked in all the "usual" baby books for a first name with no luck. Then we came across "Best Exotic Baby Names". We were not looking for something that would be so exotic where people had to ask a second time what her name was. What we found was a large list of names that were uncommon in there usage, but beautiful and unique in their meaning. We regularly get compliments on our daughter's name.

Looking for something WAY different?

Then this is the book for you! This book is very detailed, well organized, AND... considerate! :) Yes, considerate by way of providing pronunciations for each and every name! This book turned out to not quite be what I was looking for, but there are some very interesting names in here. I personally didn't get but so far through it, just because I got aggravated having to read almost every provided pronunciation, but this book will certainly take you away from "Amanda", "Kelly", "Christopher", and "Jonathan". Oh, an added bonus: If you give your child one of the names out of this book, they will ALWAYS know when it's a telemarketer calling, because the poor sap calling will INEVITABLY mispronounce such unique names! :)

Best Exotic Baby Names--Great!

Although, this name book does not have a plethora of names, it does however, have a wealth of different names from various cultures. If your looking for the trendy, traditional and typical sounding names, then this is not the book for you, however, if you are interested in giving your child a name that is different and from a particular culture, then I say go for this book.

This is must have for choosing a unique name for your baby

Ms. Jones certainly did her research for this book. The level of detail, history and meaning she has found for this global array of names is truly staggering. Need a break from the plethera of Avas, Jeremys, Gavins and Emmas? This is the book for you!
