The Concise Dictionary of English Christian Names by E.G. Withycombe

Unfortunately, I was unable to secure a copy of the original in its Oxford blue binding and have to make do with the abridged version. The quality of this Omega edition is poor, with the pages yellowing already.

It's interesting if ethnocentric.
