I used to love this book, since it was before I had the internet to get names for my characters, so it was great to go through and read about the history of the names and that. It's the reason all my old characters were named these real traditional Irish names ha. My only complaint is that it should have a pronunciation guide, and its length- it could have been a bit longer. Other than that, loved it.

Also, I think we got it to pick a name out for my little sister, and we did end up choosing a name from this book, so it was also useful in naming actual, real-life children. XD
