Baby Name book - a different kind

imnoemilydi+ckinson

I want to buy a baby name book. My friend gave me one that is just a long alphabetical list and I didn't feel that inspired.

So I found this book online and am wondering if anyone has it? I like how it says the names are organized by meaning. It isn't at my library but I don't want to buy it and have it turn out to be full of weird names and hard to navigate. Any opinions? TIA!

No idea on the book you are looking at, but check your local thrift stores for baby name books. People tend to donate them when they are done with them. I find them all the time at our local thrift store. I got one for the animal shelter where I used to volunteer to help come up with names for the dogs. You could probably buy a handful of different books for the price of a new one. Just a thought.

I have no experience with that book either, but I also found the long winded alphabetical name books way too overwhelming and uninspiring. I really like old fashioned names and decided to check out the SSA website for inspiration. I think they go all the way back to the 1800's. I also looked up the registry from the Titanic (I found it online) and was very inspired by those names also! HTH and GL!
