Recommend your baby name book

I posted this over on the baby names board too, but I wasn't sure what kind of traffic that board gets.. I know there are tons of websites of baby names, but I really want to get a book of baby names. Any recommendations? I would like for it to include origin and meaning of the names too. Thanks!

Uh, Google.

But I'm cheap.

I LOOOOOOOVE the Baby Name Wizard (I've practically read the whole thing, which is probably crazy). However, it does NOT contain meanings. It's more of analysis of each name as well as recommendations for names with similar qualities.

I agree.   I like the way it groups the names and gives suggestions. I thought it had a lot more information than typical baby name books.

I second this!  We had a friend of mine visit last weekend, and she practically read through the entire book.  She isn't even pregnant!
