The meanings of names interest me, and I also like finding interesting names. I've used this site to name characters in stories and had fun just browsing the names.

From the site: "Names. Everyone has one, most people have a vague idea what their own means, but few give them much more thought. The study of names is called onomastics, a field which touches on linguistics, history, anthropology, pyschology, sociology, philology and much more."
