This is a very funny book that my husband and I got along with serious baby naming books. It is nice to take a break and read what not to call your baby. We still haven't picked a girl's name but have a boy's first name in mind. Don't take this book to heart and the author tells you this in the first few pages. It is great for a laugh. Some reasons are just plan dumb but the book is for fun. I would recommend it for baby naming relief.
Good for a laugh!
