Very beautiful book. From a name perspective, it isn't exactly thorough, there's the classics and it has basic info that's more or less accurate. It also claims to be multicultural and falls short of that to me. It is mainly eurocentric with a dappling of other cultures here and there but not really the major ones or in any sort of substantial way. But overall it's a nice book and I definitely agree that it's a keepsake.

Not a "read", but a nice baby name book with gorgeous photography. Received it as a gift while pregnant. Certainly more of a keeper for the photos than for the names list. If you want/need a comprehensive guide, you'll have to keep looking!
