    Name web sites or books

    Hi!
    Can anyone recommend name websites or books?

    Where did you find/hear you chosen name?

    Did you still pick a name but you didn't like the meaning?

    There are quite a few websites about. Do a quick google search & you'll get heaps. Nymbler has a feature where you put in names you like & it will suggest similar ones. The US govt has a site that lists names by popularity. They list the top 1000 names going back to the late 1800's. You can also check the popularity of a particular name over whatever time frame you want. The NSW govt also has a similar thing but as a graph.

    I wasn't fussed on meanings so I never bothered to look them up.
