I bought this originally when I was teaching "Romeo & Juliet" to 9th graders. It's a great resource to find out "what's in a name". I especially like this version because it's a slim paperback. I could take it anywhere and look up baby names on the sly....

This would also be very good for any writer of fiction looking for unusual or very old names used in the Middle Ages as well.

This book has been so helpful in my research of names for the earlier periods - where the names are from and what the mean and these names mostly are from the UK or explain their orgins from the beginning. Awesome resoure for any writer trying to find a unique name or someone looking to find a specific name for their child
