Customer Reviews

A meaty, seemingly thorough dictionary of names...

I was not at all displeased with this book (as the two previous reviewers were.) I find it full of interesting information about a number of names I know (including Haggarty.) It gives several pronunciations, talks about the meaning of a name, and tells us about some of the more famous people who've held the name. I'd buy it again.
