Bring this book back! submitted by rea2mill on August 2, 2019, 2:10pm No longer in AADL’s collection! Oh dear. This was probably the most helpful baby name book we checked out. It gave us a good perspective on how to go about thinking about and choosing names as well as interesting insight on naming trends. Please AADL purchase a new copy for other expecting parents.
