Based on data from a new survey of over 100,000 parents. The book lets parents know what people think of the most popular names and helps them pick names for their babies that make favorable impressions. The New Baby Name Survey also includes the origin, meaning, and famous namesakes for each name, as well as a name “profile” written by Bruce Lansky, the #1 name in baby name books. So, it can be used as a single resource, or in conjunction with one of Lansky's other name books (which contain a lot more names.)
