My favorite is "Baby Names Now" by Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satron. It's not your "normal" baby name book in that the authors give very practical information and their thoughts on each name.

I got a copy of the Baby Name Wizard book that you see advertised all over iVillage and I really like it. Every name that they have a full profile for includes a popularity chart and similar names and there are a bunch of similar name lists in the last part of the book. Unfortunately, I read through all of the boy name profiles and didn't find any I really loved. Sigh.

I like the Baby Names Now book, which I think is called Beyond Jennifer and Jason, Madison and Montana. It really helps in thinking about which names are too popular, which boy names are becoming girl names, etc. It's an interesting read, too. And it has TONS of names you would never have thought of. Good luck.
