This book is my favorite mom-to-be gift!
What do you need in a baby name book? Sure, meanings can be fun and country of origin can help weed out certain things, but what we were most interested in was what connotations certain names bring to people.
How popular is it? -- This book has charts that show you a name's popularity over the last 100 years.
What other names are like it? -- This book groups names by era, sound group, and other associations. (What other book has groups like "Surfer Sixties" or "Timeless"?)
What names will fit with the other names in your family? -- This book has "sibling names" for each name. This was a great jumping-off point for our baby name hunt. Frequently I liked a name, but my husband didn't, so I would look at the sibling names and eventually we found names - for all three kids - that we both love.
What nicknames are common for this name? - This book suggests the good and the bad that may result from tagging your baby with a particular name. One helpful tip: take a long, hard look at your child before saddling them with a name they can never live up/down to!
As a writer, I also use this book for name ideas for my characters, especially when I'm writing about an era other than now. When was a name most popular? When did a certain name come into use? It simply makes my stories ring a little more true.
