This is absolutely the best book about English-language names I've ever read--and I've read many. The author obviously did a tremendous amount of research to find the accurate info. about every single name in this book. Everything in here is super-detailed and contains high-level info., yet is easy and enjoyable to read. The author also backs up the meanings of each name with evidence, which doesn't exist in any other baby-name book. Don't waste your time with any other baby name books or English-language name lexicons. This is the one and only!

The Most Reliable Baby Name Book
Before giving your baby a name, check it out in the Oxford Dictionary of English Christian Names -- which includes many Hebrew, Celtic, Greek, Germanic, etc. names, as well as nick-names. My name means horse-serpent in Old High German, but my mother didn't know that. This scholarly tome is lots of fun!
