I found this site the other day while surfing and thought it was so good I might just post a link here...
You can search a name you've already thought of and find its meaning, origin, namesakes, nicknames and even drawbacks of the name (names kids might get called in the playground etc) although a lot of these are far-fetched.
You can also search for names (gender separately) by beginning letter, number of syllables, country of use, country of origin or the meaning - this last option alone being the most useful, seeing as a lot of the other things can be found in many places.
When you've chosen your name, or have a shortlist (or a longlist :P) you can try out how it sounds and looks along with the baby's surname and middle name(s) - a nice feature, but unnecessary as it's just as easy to say the name out loud and see how it sounds.
Anyway, have a look and I hope you like it
