A great resource for writers as well as pet owners!February 27, 2000 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
I am an administrator on an online community where Ancient Egypt is one of the "cities". The biggest problem for people there is finding good authentic character names for themselves and their storylines. Ms. Durr's book, though intended as a resource for breeders and owners of Pharaoh Hounds, has been invaluable to me as a writer and has allowed me to make some very good suggestions to folks on the site who come to me for ideas as to what to name their characters.
The book is filled with thousands of names of Pharaohs, Queens, god-names, Egyptian symbols, sacred animals, Nomes and Districts in Ancient Egypt and different Ancient Egyptian words and phrases that are translated into the English.
I have recommended it to other writers on the site and they have commented that it is very helpful. I imagine that if you are an animal lover and have a dog or cat that you want to give a powerful and "different" name from Ancient Egypt, this is an excellent resource.
