Title: Useful
Date: Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2010
Review: This book is pretty good, although far from comprehensive. I was able to back up my suggestion that my friends name their son JaMarc or Socrates, but not my suggestion that they name their daughter Refrigera.

Title: I think it's great!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2007
Review: I think that this is a very good book! I read the reviews from others saying there's not African names in there or there's European names, etc... but this is an African-AMERICAN baby name book. I think it's very good and thorough. You can't expect every name ever thought of to be in it because that changes everyday. I love the layout, the meanings, origins, etc. I'd highly recommend it to others looking for names for their child. It's a great place to get good ideas. We have 3 African-American girls and although their names aren't in this book it still was interesting to read and it gave us a nice starting point in the decision making process. I think Teresa did a fantastic job writing this!

Title: Weak selection of african names from the mother country!
Date: Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2001
Review: This book was very disappointing, there were too many names that were of other origins beside Africa and I wanted african names for my child. The african names it had, the very few there were, should have had the way to pronounciate them, which would have been a help. Anyhow, I have used the many websites for african names to find a name for my child. I would have done better with another book.
