Literary names

[MortifiedAdams]

DD has FN and MN from literature from my childhood. Strangely, I had no literary boys names on my list and the name DD has is the only one we had.

Now TTC #2 and Im tempted to follow the theme. Please could you help by suggesting good names from literature (b&g)

I was at school with a Benedict and Venetia - can't remember what the other sibling was called, seem to remember it was even more literary though!

I also know an Atticus which I think is cool.

And I would have liked to have used Ptolomy which isn't quite literary more historical but might also appeal. Unfortunately DH vetoed it. twice. (And has lots of cool nicknames that you could use such as Tolly or Tolo or lomo but you could also go for Pete/PT or Tom if you wanted something more boring normal)

Lancelot
Holden (The Catcher In The Rye)
Gatsby
Gulliver
Japhy (Origin Japheth, character in Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac)

Penelope (Homer's Odyssey)
Hester (The Scarlett Letter)
Nerissa (The Merchant of Venice)
Arwen (LOTR)
Liesel (The Book Thief)
Alia (The Children of Dune)
Serafina (Phillip Pullman - His Dark Materials)

I have a Penelope and the long suffering wife aspect of it nearly put me off!

Anne (of Green Gables).

Atticus is lovely!

I know of a Bronte

I dreamt about this thread last night, so have had to come back to add...
