The Baby Names site of Laura Wattenberg (which we mentioned here) also has a blog. Lots of fun stuff; for example see the recent entry on short and long names:
I have a writers group, and we have recent posted a "Given Name" Database online. It lets you search not only for a name, but by country, nationality, or attribute! (Yep, try searching for "Wild"... lol)
The baby names chapter in Freakonomics is interesting.
My name is definitely cheap.

after I played with this site for some time I found that the name Hunter was used in the 1880 and now it also a girls name.
Hunter sure seems strange for a girl's name.
