It's like Christmas has come early!! My favorite baby name experts Pamela Redmond Satran and Linda Rosenkrantz have a new website!!!
It's AWESOME. Check it out!! Go now!! It's called NAMEBERRY!
http://nameberry.com/
Check out the great blog, and search your favorite names to hear some great commentary. My favorite feature of their books has always been the brilliant lists. Rather than just offering an alphabetical listing of names with their meanings, Savran and Rosenkrantz group names by their style, tone, popularity, or reputation.
One of the most fun new lists is the Coolator. It gives Uncool, Cool, and Cooler versions of a variety of common names. For example: Avis, Ava, Avery. The Exoticizer works similarly: as in Andrew, Andre, Andreas. The Dada Drummer generally disapproves of the "cooler" and "exotic-er" names (ie Stephanie, Stella, Story AND Sarah, Zara, Zahara) but enjoys the lists nonetheless!
Use these tools, reade! There is no excuse for rotten baby name choices now!

The new baby in our family was just named: Dillon Rafe. Only way it could be worse is if it was spelled "Dylyn". Wish they had checked out this website.
I think Tina Fey has a baby name thing too. We told you about Wingspan and Banjo in her movie, "Baby Mama." I was just watching 30 Rock and there's a woman considering for her daughter: Bookcase, Sandstorm and Hat (even though Hat is really a boy's name...)
