Of course, the other (more likely) possibility is that it somehow got lost in the move. *cries*
I'm going to go down and have a look in the storage locker sometime this weekend, but in the meantime, should I be unable to find it, suggestions of a replacement would be useful. I was pretty happy with the one I had (The New Age Baby Name Book) but I'd like to consider my options. And the internet sites aren't good enough--I like to have paper to paw through.
I'd be looking for something with:
-lots and lots of names (the more the better).
-for the most part, all the names in alphabetical order, only separated by gender. (I'm fine with little asides about specific types of names, but I don't like having the whole book broken down into different subcategories.)
-brief explanations of name meanings/history/origins.
-names from a variety of cultures.
(If you happen to be looking for a name book, BTW, The New Age Baby Name Book was good for all of the above, except sometimes I wished it had more names. And I'm not entirely sure all the name meaning information was accurate.)
Any recommendations?
