Wow! In fact I do speak German and Ive been learning Greek for a couple of years now so I will be ok with the books I guess. Did you buy them in Greece or is there any online shop Ive yet to find?
Ive tried to find an online shop but no such luck, if there are several online shops Id prefer one with an English version of the homepage.
Thank you ever so much, Ive had a fascination with Greek names for years now, but so far, all I could do was read mythologic encyclopaedia and the more than elliptic relevant section in English name books, now having this list is like Xmas and Birthday at the same time :))) Dankeschoen and Efharisto poli!

The pleasure is mine, its always nice to meet a fellow enthusiast! :)
I bought all those books in Greece, I am sure there will be Greek online bookstores you can order them from. Unfortunately I don't have much time now, but I promise I'll search for you and I'll let you know tomorrow.
"Until the day that an ancient inscription will be found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."

Ok, after research I did, its not easy to get these books from a Greek online general bookstore due to their low demand... :(
However you can contact the editors of the books and have them sent to you separately, or, even better, find a bookstore that can provide you with all the books from all the different editors, in order to keep the postage cost down.
So here are the editions and contact information for them:
Edition "Marios Verettas", Tel: 0030 210 33 05 139, www.verettas.gr/:
"Mega Onomastikon", ISBN 960-7756-02-9
"Mega Hetairikon", ISBN 960-7756-14-2
Edition "Georgiades", Tel: 0030 210 38 36 231, www.georgiadesbooks.gr:
"From Gaia to Hypatia, the Greek women of the ancient world", ISBN 960-316-288-4
Edition "Kyromanos", Tel: 0030 2310 28 24 27:
"Homeric Onomatologion", ISBN 960-7812-35-2
Edition "Eleftheri Skepsis", Tel: 0030 210 36 14 736, 0030 36 30 697:
"Thesaurus of Greek names", ISBN 96-7931-65-3
"New Lexicon of Greek Mythology", ISBN 960-7931-28-9
Edition "Kypeiros-Parousia", Tel: 0030 210 38 29 833:
They did a fine reproduction in Greek of the
"Lexicon of the Ancient Mythological, Historical and Geographical Personal Names", N. Lorentes, Austria, 1837
now under the ISBN 960-86714-4-2.
As I said, it will be nice if you can get all of these books from one bookstore, so you can keep the postage cost low. I am pretty sure that "Marios Verettas" and "Eleftheri Skepsis" will be able to provide and send you all those books, so try to contact them first and ask about that.
Enjoy your reading!

Yes, it is the correct spelling, I don't know why it's not working... anyway I am pretty sure verettas will do the job.
I'll mail you soon about the other sites.
And to salute you, here is a quote for you by
Isokrates, 436-338 BCE:
"The word 'Greek' is not so much a term of birth as it is of mentality, and is applied to a common culture rather than a common descent."
:)
"Until the day that an ancient inscription will be found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."

If you are in the USA, one source for foreign language books is Schoenhof's in Massachusetts. They have special ordered name books from Europe for me before:
