If you feel uncomfortable saying the name in that setting, it might not be the best choice.”

Although the title might make you think the perfect name for your baby will magically turn up if you take a quiz or plug in a formula, there’s no such thing in the book. However, the book is different from a lot of name books because it shows you a graph of the popularity of each name listed over time, and it puts names into categories or styles, which is helpful.

And I say keep the baby name a secret! Just tell people you don’t have any names picked out. That way, no one can make any comments on your choice.
