Recommneded Unique Baby Name Book

This a great Bible name book. Contrary to one review's statement: it does list Zachary (under Zechariah) and Elizabeth (under Elisheva). Zachary and Elizabeth are the English spellings of Zechariah and Elisheva. It is a very unique, concise book with names you don't find in most other books. When we named our daughter Eliana (el-ee-AH-nuh) which means "God has answered me" it was from this wonderful little baby name book.

Name that baby!

My wife and I bought this book because we wanted to find a whole range of Jewish names from which to select one for our new baby expected in April 2006, and also because my wife in particular is a big fan of Anita Diamant. This is a good, if fairly brief, listing of Jewish names, including pronunciation and meanings, the latter of which we believe to be very important. We enjoyed reading through the lists and trying out some unfamiliar names and sounds for the first time.
