Well the book does what it says and my brother & his wife picked a name after months of not agreeing and having totally opposite tastes. Happy outcome!

A handy little book with solid info on a decent variety of names. The accuracy was around 85% with those that I noted as incorrect being obvious fanciful extrapolations so in actually not entirely off mark. But not strictly correct, and for my reviews, that's how I have to keep things.
