This was a really well laid out book. We found one of our girls names in there (Keira) and quite a few others that made it to the list. In the end, the other daughter received a Russian name ;-) I've given this book to another Irish friend expecting twins.
Puts other name-books to shame!

This is a literary and unusual name-book - well worth a look if you want to give your child, dog or goldfish an Irish name, but a fascinating read even for the non-parent because of the history of these beautiful names and the interesting way in which the author has grouped them. There are names for redheads, blondes and brunettes, names for warriors and gentlefolk, artistic names, and many others. This is a small gem and a triumph of research. I wish Mr Johnson would give us a similar insight into Native American names or even English names. Anything by this thoughtful writer would be worth reading.
Excellent Value

We liked this book. I did not find it "boaring". I think it is one of the more "readable" books of this kind I've seen, not merely an index. The names are divided into thematic categories, each section with an introduction. I thought this was a fresh approach. Some of the names are obscure - we won't be calling for little Attracta or young Maelachlainn to get out of bed - but that comes with the territory. Very good
Look at that!

We found this book very helpful, as it does not only provide a good number of names but also gives information about pronunciation and background. Well - actually, to be quite honest - we used it to find an appropiate name for our puppy, an Irish Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier.
A rich and resourceful guide.

A rich and resourceful guide. I learned so much about Irish history too. When Caitlin grows up I'll pass along this book to her.
