This book is an amazing resource. I used to be a writer and now I work in video games (which still involves writing stories and developing characters) and I generally turn to this book when searching for a good name. I find that if I don't use a rich resource like this one to look through and get some new name ideas I'll likely just keep reverting back to my own personal favorites... which leaves you with a lot of similarly named characters throughout projects. I have two "go to" books that I turn to for naming - this one is for those times when I just want a sea of names to choose from and sort through, basically whenever I have no real idea or starting point for a character's name.I personally loved that the book also includes a lot of older names as well. Again, when writing you often need names that sound unique or even mythical, without actually being the names of mythological characters. Old names are great for that - they look and sound familiar enough to seem natural, but they're strange enough to sound magical.Plus you never know what kind of name someone is looking for, everyone has a different idea of what sounds pleasant to the ear, and a lot of people go for older names. Also, names tend to rotate, something that was your great grandmother's name could easily now be the cutest, trendiest name of the year.I don't really have any negative points to bring up about the book. There are times when it is a little difficult to navigate, but that's just one of the perils of having such a vast wealth of material to go through.
