Hiya can anyone recommend a good baby name book? Going to buy one online and there is too much choice!

I like this one a lot:

www.amazon.co.uk/Naming-Your-Baby-Definitive-Dictionary/dp/0713683139/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid =1265661068&sr=1-4

(in case link doesn't work, that's Naming Your Baby by Julia Cresswell.)

Also have Everyman Dictionary of First Names at home, but it's quite dated - mine lists, for example, Lily as "very rarely used"! It's a well-researched one, though. So many baby name books are seriously dodgy. Oxford Dictionary of First Names (I think it's called) is good too, and more up-to-date.
