A good baby name book?

Can aynone recommend a really good baby name book. One that has lots of modern interesting names in. I already have the Virgin Boook of Baby Names, and Cool Names for babies.

Also I'm in the UK, so would prefer one more orientated to that

Update:

Thanks, those websites are great, but I'd really like a book.

Update 2:

I already have googled baby name books, I just really wanted some recommendations from people who'd already used them. There are so many books out there

    I think that you should consider purchasing "Beyond Jennifer and Jason & Madison and Montana." The book has millions of names in it including the meaning and origins.

    If you have to ask the world how to name your baby, you probably should not have one.
