Too bad you can't leaf through the pages before you buy. February 8, 2000

This book claims in its introduction, to be superior to other baby names because of its accuracy but clearly it it poorly edited, with names with no meanings and meanings with no names. The bulk of the book does not define if names are masculine, feminine or unisex, and in the one section that does, there are clearly feminine meanings in the male name section. In addition, the title of the book led me to be believe that it would be ALL African names but instead, there are entire pages with no African names, but rather Eurocentric names that some African Americans have used for their children in the past. Worst of all is that some of the "African names" are not names at all. Who would name their child "Ugly woman", "evil" or after a particular "market place". My husband and I thought there were some nice choices for girls names, but you really have to read carefully.
