The First Name Reverse Dictionary
Ever want to name a character something in specific - like "all the women in this house are named after flowers" or something like that?
This book does the baby-name thing backwards.
You look up the meaning, and it might have:
flower - Flora (Lat.), and about 35 other things in different languages that mean 'flower'.
It's a great resource, especially when you're short on ideas.
