Favorite Baby Naming Resources?

Please share them (links, books, whatever...) here!

I'm going crazy on names. I'm not in love with any right now and neither is my DH (who is hard to please on this issue

). It's back to the drawing board, so could you please share your favorite places to look? TIA!!!

Babynames.com

I think babynames.com is the best. I like it because you can choose names and then email them to friends and family and have them vote on them. They have tons of ideas too.

babynamesworld.com

They even have people you can post your preferences too and they make suggestions.

We used this site: Popular baby names

And I loved the book "The Baby Name Wizard"

Nymbler is really cool. You enter "inspiration" names and it gives you a list of suggestions.

Swimmers took my suggestion. I love that site!!! whenever I think up a good name I also go there to see how popular it is or was.

Thanks!!

Dare I say I've been on all of those and I keep coming up empty-handed.

I don't know why nothing is really clicking for me this time? Well, I still have a few that have been on the list prior to pregnancy, but DH doesn't like them. I want a name I'm in love with...that he's at least accepting of, too (better if he loved it as well)...and it's just not happening so far... <pout> Maybe no name will seem perfect until we see the baby? Then again, we still couldn't decide for sure after DS#2 was born - for two days (and the pressure was on to put something on the line). I really want to avoid that this time. That was not fun! Thank goodness he did end up with the perfect name for him.

I don't even remotely like the other one we were considering anymore. LOL!

P.S. - I couldn't remember the name of the Nymbler one and that is fun to play with - thanks!!!
