The African-American Baby Name Book

Rating:
Summary: ok book
Review: but it depends on what you're looking for. i didn't realize that an african-american baby name book would include so many names from europe, etc. but our country is very diverse, so i guess that's where the "american" part comes in. it's a good book with plenty of names to choose from.

Summary: Not all it's cracked up to be
Review: I bought this book with high hopes of finding names of an African cultural and/or religious background and instead I got a book with a hodge podge of names - some African, some Spanish, some Celtic (and so on) and some made-up ghetto fabulous names that I certainly was not expecting to be held up by this author as names to pass on to the next generation of African American babies. Unless you are looking for names outside of our culture or have been wondering how to spell Shaniqua, I'd pick another book.

Summary: Excellent I found Names I Had Never Seen Before.
Review: This Book is excellent I was able to find names I had never seen before, including something close to my own, "ORIENTA", which I have never been able to do. I only wish there was a website listed in the book for those of us who are still searching for our names and would like to reach Ms. Norman.

Orienta (???...)

Summary: ok book
Review: This book was very disappointing, there were too many names that were of other origins beside Africa and I wanted african names for my child. The african names it had, the very few there were, should have had the way to pronounciate them, which would have been a help. Anyhow, I have used the many websites for african names to find a name for my child. I would have done better with another book.
