I am just a lurker here, I just found out I am pg, and am in the very early stages of name choices. I don't really want to pick any until after we have an u/s and find out the sex. But we have been spending a lot of time in the car lately and I thought it would be a good time to go through a baby name book. So I sent DH to go buy one, and in his defense I probably would have bought the same one, it has 25000 names in it. But most of them are VERY ethnic and I can't even pronounce them!
We want something a little different, but not totally out there. Does anyone have a favorite book? Or how do you go about finding names?
Thanks,
Meg

Hi there! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
One of my favorites is "The Penguin Classic Baby Name Book: 2,000 Names from the World's Greatest Literature" by Grace Hamlin. While this is by no means a thorough listing of names, it does have the classics along with some lesser-known variations and less common names. You'll find some good choices here.
Good luck!

Sorry but I have to interject here - please don't believe any of the origins and meanings you get from Bruce Lansky.
