Not all it’s cracked up to be,
I bought this book with high hopes of finding names of an African cultural and/or religious background and instead I got a book with a hodge podge of names – some African, some Spanish, some Celtic (and so on) and some made-up ghetto fabulous names that I certainly was not expecting to be held up by this author as names to pass on to the next generation of African American babies. Unless you are looking for names outside of our culture or have been wondering how to spell Shaniqua, I’d pick another book.

|Useful,
This book is pretty good, although far from comprehensive. I was able to back up my suggestion that my friends name their son JaMarc or Socrates, but not my suggestion that they name their daughter Refrigera.
