Book Reviews of The Baby Name Survey Book: What People Think About Your Baby's Name
Book Review: Gross contradictions & one celebrity descriptions abound.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a Renaming/Reprint of their 1990 book similarly titled "The Baby Name Personality Survey". This book is a survey of 30 to 150 respondents for each name on the feelings evoked by the names. This is a prime example of creation by multiple committees. Throughout the book there are numerous dichotomies and trichotomies, such as "an old spinster who is plain, quiet, lackluster, and secretive or sophisticated and sexy." Add to that theatrical characters or celebrities by respondents who appear to cumulatively know only one person (and that a character or celebrity)with the name, such as: "Elvira [a] tramp who is weird, spooky, and sexy" and a typical baby name book and we are left with a short baby name book and a bunch of near useless survey results. If you are after a book to help you choose a name for a child or book character, you can do better than this. And your own very brief survey of friends may be more accurate.
