Summary: The Publisher, Ten Speed Press
Review: For all the baby-name books on the market, there is not one that tells it straight: the wrong name can absolutely wreck a kid's life. Is a kid named Alf going to get any respect on the playground? Will Precious ever head a Fortune 500 company? And what is to become of Humbert and Clytemnestra? Here are hundreds of awkward, archaic, and inappropriate names, with dozens of photographs of adorable children who deserve better.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Wonderful Gag Gift for Parents-to-be!
Review: I laughed hystericallly when I first saw this book, mostly because my brother Spiro's name was in there! Poor guy! Actually this is a great gift idea for new moms and dads and I buy this book in quantity. Every person who has received this book from me has had a good laugh with it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Gift for Expecting Parents!
Review: If you're really looking for baby names, this is not the book for you, but it is a great gag gift for expecting parents. What really makes the book is the multitude of photographs of baby mugs contorted into the most hilarious cries and pouts!This book lists names alphabetical, does not include meanings, or ethnic origin. But don't be offended if you were about to name your child Fifi or Wenceslas.. this book is purely subjective! ;)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A good book, even if you are not going to have a baby!
Review: This book is dedicated to "the millions yet unnamed: good luck." This whimsical book contains 32 (if I counted correctly) photos of babies making a wide range of hilarious faces. The intention of the authors was to ensure that you did not misname your child. Among the many names recommended against are: Beavis, Clyde, Spud, Hortense, and Soon Yi.

This book is *not* to be taken seriously. It is a silly book, which will make you laugh. Indeed, one-by-one, my entire family thumbed through the book, laughing all the way.
