http://www.behindthename.com/

This is one of the most reliable sites for name meanings.  It also has great name lists (so you can search for French names, Indian names, Ancient Roman names, Celtic Mythology names, and much more).  Additionally, there's a section that lists the 100 most popular baby names for numerous countries.

http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

This is the US Social Security website where you can get the top 1000 baby names for any year since 1880.  It's great to browse for inspiration, and you can check to see how popular a name is before you give it to your child.

http://www.nymbler.com/

On this website, you can enter up to six names you already like and it will suggest others in a similar style.

This is my favorite website for middle name suggestions (the first link).  It arranges them by number of syllables and where the syllable stress falls, so you can be sure to find something that flows nicely with your chosen first name.  The rest of the site has other useful articles and advice (the second link).  I particularly like the article on suggestions for less common replacements of trendy names.

http://www.babynames.com/

My favorite feature of this site is that it lets you create a namelist of your favorite first and middle combinations that other people can vote on.

My favorite baby name blog.  While it doesn't feature every name, it's a great place to look for inspiration if you are looking for something less common but still usable.  The writer goes in-depth about the history of the names, famous people who have borne the names, and how the names are likely to be received today.  

Good luck, and I hope this helps!

Answer 6

The only baby name website I trust is

http://www.behindthename.com/

It's run by a certified etymologist, and is the only common use website I know of that is. It also has fun and helpful features like message boards, interactive polls, an accurate name translator, a comprehensive search function (that can search by name, meaning, or description), and much more.

I also recommend http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/advice.htm...

While their actual name section is lacking (as it is contributed by lay folk and is, therefore, quite inaccurate) the advice section is well thought out and has informative discussions on naming trends, the pitfalls and advantages of unique/common names, and a manifesto on why one should take their baby name book/website with a grain of salt.
