Review # 1 was written on 2009-09-03 00:00:00 Oscar Williams Another awesome, exhaustive name book brimming with foreign, archaic, underused names. The accuracy is nearly flawless, it's written well, and it even has an index. It's different than most name books in that while it does list what names mean and their origins at the beginning, the focus is more the names' use throughout history and the various version among different languages. Very interesting and a true staple for any name-o-phile.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-11-03 00:00:00 Gary Lester Downloaded from Google Books. REALLY LIKE THIS. Encountered the title in the Modern Library's notes on Daniel Deronda, being mentioned as a source by George Eliot in her notebook.
