An excellent book by Maneka. You can see the painstaking work and research carried out to bring this book. It gives us Sanskrit names with a very meaningful insight on each of them. This is also a better value for money deal than buying separate books for boys' and girls' names.

Book is well researched and a result of detailed study, It covers almost every Hindu name with it's meaning, origin and the holy books where it's reference have occurred.
If you are looking for an authentic study on Hindu Names and detailed explanation of meanings then this is perfect choice.

Actually it is very exhaustive list, but the way names are spelled, it is very painful to read them.

Actual hindi / sanskrit writing of the names would have been great help

Not useful, instead searching names was easier and fun on the Internet.
I bought this book, and was a waste of time and money.

This book is not practical or useful if you are looking to search a name for your new born.

Not enough girl names. Pronunciation is not described clearly. There are names which have derogatory meanings. Do not buy this product if you have easy access to the Internet. It seems like the book is written by someone who does not understand Sanskrit completely. There are names just for the sake of filling up the book.
