Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book is so interesting! It's got so much whichcraft stuff in it that you really can't call it just a magical names book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Jump-Start Your Name Selection
Review: This is a terrific book on several levels. It gives a creditable history of human nomenclature starting at about 1000 BCE. She discusses how traditions have changed and why, and it's a very interesting read. She gives you meanings behind names of things and people across many cultures, so that if you are choosing a magical name for yourself, you will have a pretty clear knowledge of what your name could mean. She also suggests that choosing a name for a child should be done responsibly, and with a consciousness for that child's future. In addition to the names themselves, there are also guided meditation exercises that may prove very helpful if you just cannot decide.

The bibliography is extensive, but the index is a bit weak. However, since the book is so well-organized, the index isn't really all that critical.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Looking for a magickal name?
Review: Whether you are looking for a craft name or a legal name, this book offers you some 'magickal' options in a fun and informative manner. Not the biggest of best name book on the market, but certainly the only one (that I am aware of) that is targeted to a Pagan audience. This book would be helpful to newbies and should be in any coven/grove library.
