Guide Review - Cool Names for Babies
Cool Names for Babies is a great baby name book for any parent. As someone who has been around the baby naming block a few times, it's very easy to use and doesn't crowd the space with lots of definitions and the like. The easy to sort through lists come themed, allowing me to find similar names without having to sift through 3 million baby names that most likely do not appeal to me.
While there are some lists that I am inclined to skip over (exotic names), some are drawing me in (biblical names, old fashioned names). But it's an easy to tackle, manageable chunk to look through a list per night rather than read pages of names to each other. This also ends the baby name fighting before it ever starts.
