Can you recommend a good baby name book?

Question

Can anyone recommend a good baby names book? I have one I think it's called baby names for the 21st century or something, it's pretty thick but they are all fairly traditional or just plain scary I'm after something maybe a bit more modern any recommendations?

Answer 1

http://www.babynames.com/ may not be a book for say, but it is easily searchable and gives origins, genders and meanings for nearly all existing names. Try it online.

Answer 2

I used www.babynames.com

Answer 3

I would go to www.behindthename.com

You save money, and it is easy to browse through names in alphabetical order, by origin, by meaning, by language, and you can search names.

You can also learn the popularity of the name, the meaning, the culture it came from, related names, and much much more!

Hope this helped, and good luck with the baby ! :)

Answer 4

With my first baby I went out and bought name books, even the little name books by the cash registers with those small horoscope books next to it. Now that we're planning baby #4, I use babynames.com..it's a great site, I wouldn't waste my money on books.

Answer 5

How about just go online to like www.babynames.com it's a really great cite with lots of names.
