The Penguin Book of Baby Names

Fun book with lots of suggestions for names

Very useful

Nice book with some good ideas. Baby names are hugely subjective so not always easy to find out what suits everyone. However this book is able to draw in unique and popular names that draw its origins from all around the world. I was looking for Scandinavian based names and this book has plenty. It has a small little description of the origins and meanings of each name and covers Male and Female. Recommended for those wanting to draw inspiration in selecting a new name for their baby.

I did find a couple names I like BUT there are a lot of really strange names for example “Blod, Flick, Bingo” and others 😂

I think this is a good name book. Other reviews mention the ‘ridiculous’ names...yes there are some names that you bypass/don’t like but that’s with every name book or app that you’ll use. I’ve used an app to try and decide names but really liked having a paper copy that me and my husband can look through ourselves. It definitely has ‘normal’ more traditional names as well. It tells you where names are from as well which is a nice touch. A good buy.

Easy book to use with some unusual names but not too way out. Arrived super ast.

Well the book does what it says and we picked a name after months of not agreeing and having totally opposite tastes. I marked the names I liked in boy and girls and my husband did the same and we eventually had a name we both ticked! Happy outcome!

Absolutely lovely book, love reading all the name origins have spent absolutely hours looking through this. Also the main point is that it helped us chose our little girls name! Came really quickly and great price.
