Got my copy, and overall I think it’s a great book (better than the previous version). I especially like you being more balanced on the unisex name issue, although there is still some bias (they support names like Connor and Owen for girls, but still recommend against “older” unisex names like Kelly and Robin for boys [some of which I like as such and think would be nice on a boy these days]).

On the New Zealand question, I’m afraid this book is available in the U.S. market only, but we guess you can order it via American Amazon and have it shipped halfway round the world! thanks….

Well, for better or for worse, I’m afraid that at this point in time, and in this celebrity-obsessed culture, celebrities do have a considerable iand undeniable nfluence on baby names.

I’ve had mine since Saturday (I guess my local B&N stocked the shelf early–lucky me!) I like it, especially the “Green Names,” the expanded “Creative Names,” and the way the Sex section was redone. My only complaint is the over-emphasis on celebrities and what they name their children.

I’ve read it from cover to cover! I am particularly impressed with the Metrodudes list; it includes my own son’s name (Luca) as well as the names of almost all of my friends’ sons. You are spot on as far as why we chose his name–we felt is was “creatively masculine” and sophisticated yet approachable.

I also love the historical sections (Trends over time, African-American Traditions, the Kosher Curve)–fascinating. Thanks again for another fabulous book. I’m already making a list for Luca’s future sibling(s)!
