I've been awaiting my copy of SJ Strum's brilliant name book and I was not disappointed. The book itself is gorgeous and displays nicely on a shelf or coffee table with a really clean design and the font is very readable.
SJ has a unique take on baby names organizing them by themes which will help parents more accurately determine their naming style including nature, seasonal, space and stars, crystals, rocks and minerals, elemental, animal kingdom, colours, virtue, passions, travel, vintage, history, sounds and syllables, aesthetic, rainbow baby, etc. There are also quizzes in the book to help parents.
Even if the name you choose isn't in this book the contents are going to help you pick the name that suits you and your baby best. SJ's advice has helped me choose the names for my babies and as a baby name enthusiast this will be my go-to book for naming characters, sims, etc.
