The best baby name books

Congratulations! You’re about to become a mum or dad. Maybe for the first time, second, third and so on. Or, potentially you’re planning for future pitter patters of tiny feet, or you’re just doing you and just happen to love baby names; there’s no judging here. I’ve been researching long and hard (approximately a couple of days) to find the most popular baby name books of 2020.

When you can find lists of names on the internet or have one of your best friends tag you in a gigantic list on Facebook, you might be wondering why you’d invest in a book. You might think it’s just an archaic concept that documents information and will end up in a box in your garage. But, it won’t, because it offers thousands of options in one place as well as provides you with background information around each meaning. Plus, the smell of a new book is amazing and will make a fantastic keepsake.

I get modern families don’t have time to go to a dusty book shop and dig it out themselves. You’re too busy planning a gender reveal or baby shower. I get it. That’s why I’ve taken the time to pull together this incredible list of popular baby name books, so you can just scroll through and get it sent to you on next day delivery.
