• Not the best
  This book did have some "interesting" ideas but it wasn't a very big book so your chances of finding a name that you really like are pretty slim.

I have about three people named Scott, five James's (all men), and a good three or four girls with the name Elizabeth. So I picked this up, thinking it might help me. There are some good ideas for character names in here (Narcissa, Dashiell, and Isolde), but I don't think it's a good idea to just smush a name together for a real person (who in their right mind would name their kid Moon?).
