Resources
I'm trying to build an online collection of reliable name databases with information on origins, meanings, history, etc.
Can anyone suggest any sites?

One more. It has moved, but good that it is still there, with a new URL: The "Alias Name Collection" at

Well, I try hard to include only reliable information into my own database (built from scratch since 2000) that is the base of my website at:
http://www.aboutnames.ch/
Of course this site here - BtN - is a source that I consult frequently and whose reliability is beyond doubt for me.
The "Baby Name Addicts" also state a goal of reliability on their website. There is not that much information per name but what I have seen so far seems solid:
http://www.babynameaddicts.com/
Edgar's name pages are also very good in my opinion - with this quality the site should probably get more attention than it actually gets:

BabyNameAddicts is terrible
BabyName addicts is a terrible site. Despite flaunting their accuracy, there are some horrendously misleading meanings there, such as "MaKenzie Wise Leader's Daugher "
Just because they claim to be accurate doesn't make them so.
