Hebrew Baby name books
I'm not sure where to post this, thought I'd try here. I love Hebrew names, especially their meanings. Does anyone know of any good Hebrew Baby Name books?Also: What other languages have names with such poetic meanings?

The one I own is The Complete Book of Hebrew Baby Names by Smadar Shir Sidi. It has a 1989 copyright, but it seems to have a good selection of the names that were being used in Israel at that point.

A great place for hebrew baby names is hebrewbabynames.com - I throughly use it and reccommend it!I personally find old Welsh/Celtic names poetic as well.

I love Hebrew names, too. I've never looked for any baby name books, though. Usually I just google "Hebrew baby names".
I would also recommend Arabic names, since they're very poetic, as well. Perhaps that's no surprise, since both are Semitic languages.
