This is more than your average baby name book: unlike the dozens of mass-market paperbacks available, Town & Country Baby Names has the style and elegance to make an exquisite gift. Stunningly designed and produced, with charming line drawings throughout, it’s a lovely and useful resource at an excellent price. The introduction provides guidelines to consider when naming a baby, from researching the family tree for names to knowing the pitfalls of choosing a unisex or trendy name. Each entry includes the name’s origin and meaning (Claire comes from Latin, and means “clear and bright”; Stephen, from the Greek, means “crown”), and special features suggest possibilities such as Favorite Names from the Garden and Beloved Names from Children’s Literature.

This review is from: Town & Country Baby Names: The Guide to Selecting the Perfect Name for Your Child (Paperback)
I've often wondered about the origin of names. So am delighted to find all that information in the "Baby Names" book.

This review is from: Town & Country Baby Names: The Guide to Selecting the Perfect Name for Your Child (Paperback)
This book is definitely for the "Sarah and David" set. We were looking for something with a little more "panache" for our daughter and found the names in this book to be the requisite classics that you would expect from a book compiled by the publishers of "Town & Country" magazine. I will say that it was organized very well into specific sections, but I do recommend that if you are looking for a more original children's name, that you look at the "Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana" book.
