Very interesting book, has several names that you won't find in many other name books. The information gets a bit repetitive in the way it's written, but the content is worthwhile.

I knew I liked Artemis, Eris and Athena.
I added Evagora,Arai and Tisiphone to my guilty pleasure girl names.

I knew I liked Griffin and Orion but Adonis kinda grew on me.
