Which name would you use if you could only choose a name based on a literary connection?

One boy, one girl.

Ill go first

Boy - Lawrence /Laurie from Little Women
Girl - Alice in wonderland

Boy - Edmund (Narnia)
Girl - Katherine (Katherine Swynford from Katherine - if historical fiction counts) Or Lucy (Narnia)

Boy - Byron, as in, "Lord". I would hope he wouldn't turn into such a prolific shagger though.
Girl - Vesper, from "Vespers" by AA Milne.

Oh hang on, I think I will change that last girl to Emma (from Emma)

Boy - Oliver (Twist)
Girl - Charlotte ('s Web)

I have a Charlotte. She wasn't named after a spider though :o.

I read a book with a girl called Pella (The Art of Fielding) I love it! Not a very famous book though...!

Boy - Everard (Everard Bone in Excellent Women by Barbara Pym)
Girl - Harriet (Harriet Vane in the Lord Peter Wimsey stories)

Boy: Tristan (Tristan and Iseult)
Girl: Arwen (LOTR) or Pandora (Adrian Mole)

Catherine (Wuthering Heights)
Jude (Jude the Obscure)

KatherineS - I was actually named after that book.

Hero (Much Ado)

I love the name Jennet (Woman in Black) but the deranged grieving ghost puts me off!

For a boy Tom (Jones or Sawyer)

It's hard only choosing one!

KatherineSwynford Katherine is my all time favourite book

Can we have literary connections as well as characters? If so:
Zelda (Fitzgerald) and Orson (Welles)

I was named after Alice in Wonderland

Oh wow, really??

I am very jealous as I think I'd actually like to be called that instead of a DD

That was the book I was reading at the time of DS' being conceived (sorry for the tmi) and he would so have been Katherine if a DD. His middle name is John though, although technically for other reasons.

DramaAlpaca Mine too, haven't felt the same about a book since!

Jude (the obscure)

Thora (last rituals) and (my soul to take)

I am named after a character in a Thomas hardy book

Heathcliffe. There is a photographer (in the telegraph sometimes) called Heathcliffe O'malley fabulous name.

Not literature but my son is named after James the Red Engine. Loved the name since I had the books as a child and always said that if I had a soon I'd name him James.

My dds name is literary so im trying to get some ideas to carry on the theme with ny next dc. Trouble is the boys name I want is from the same book as the girls.

Boy - Aureliano (100 years of solitude)

Girl - Lyra (his dark materials trilogy)

I'm going to go with quirky but still useable:

Boy- Atticus (To Kill a Mockingbird)

Girl- Cosette (Les Miserables)

Both names on my short lists

Petrova from 'Ballet shoes' ; nn Petra. Love it.
Edgar from 'King lear'
