Baby Names For Dummies Reviews by BookSwim Members
We weren't even sure our baby would be a dummie, but based on several of our relatives we decided that there was a high likelihood that it could happen, so we got this book.
We perused over thousands of good baby names for dummies and settled on "Cletus." This is a name for dummies with a rich heritage and we feel like our son is growing into it wonderfully.

When I first saw this book, I thought to myself "yeah, right" who needs more than a simple list-type of book with--what--like 10,000 names. This author does a great job of explaining various tips, techniques and historical background that should go into choosing a name. I found it fascinating to read about the origins of her name selections--some listed chronologically like "building empires: classical names" to "romanticizing Victorian ideas". I loved the chapter titled "ten practices to avoid." This book offered very creative suggestions without being too wild and out there! I never even pictured myself to be the type that would buy a baby naming book, but I loved this one!
