New Links & Tools

A short note to draw your attention to all the new links to name databases, name blogs and websites, and name tools that I've added in the side bars. A few demand a short explanation: Baby Namescape allows you to get local by seeing what names babies have been getting at individual hospitals. Nymbler is a tool associated with the excellent Baby Name Wizard that suggests names and responds to your feedback about which ones you like to gradually refine the results to match your tastes. Similar, though somewhat less effective, tools are available at Baby Names World and Behind The Name. Baby Names World also offers a free suggestion service that I've never found to be terribly perceptive, but it's still a fun thing to get in your email every day.

Of course, all sites have their own unique features and advantages. Happy browsing!
