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 terribleBabyName 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.
