While I agree that these tomes should not be used as documentation, some of them can start you on the road to finding real documentation by giving the possible language(s), location(s), and/or origin(s) a particular name might have come. I would not reccomend this method for anyone who has not been doing Onomastics for a while, and there by know the pitfalls of such information, but it could give you a lead on where to look in a real and reliable onomastic resource.
