Your favourite names from children's literature

[MammieBear]

As the title says really, looking for both Boy's and Girl's names.
Thankyou 😊

Dinah and Harvey from the Demon Headmaster

Oh and also Ingrid from the same- that book had some great names

Thorin from the Hobbit!

Marilla from Anne of GG

Aslan from Lion Witch Wardrobe

Miniminimus we have a Harriet too! Named after Harriet from Tom's Midnight Garden and I like to call her Hats or Harriety (couldn't persuade DH to go for Arriety much to my dismay).

I also love Clara, Clover, Hepzibah, Drina (short for Andrina), Beth, Eowyn, Felicity, Daryl, Meg (short for Margaret), Nora, Pollyanna, Penny, Sara and Anastasia.

Artemis (Artemis Fowl), Atticus, Dickon, Finnick, Pip, Peregrine.

Sloe - Siberia
Lyra - Phillip Pullman
Violet- A Series of Unfortunate Events

Also Caleb - not neccesarily Lit but the Mew Mew Power comic
Julian and Cornelius - Naughtiest Girl in the School ( Blyton)

Oh!
And Kaladin - The Way of Kings

Topaz in I Capture The Castle

Abigail (childhood book about an awful awful Abigail but love the name!)
Scout
Blythe (Gilbert Blythe from Anne of green gables)

Laughing at Jennifer Yellow Hat. I have a friend who has a Jennifer and I remember asking her if she named her after that iconic character

My favourite is Alice. Although I don't really like the book.

I remember when I was little liking the name Linette from The Children of Green Knowe. And Elizabeth from Hannibal the Hamster...

Loveday Minette from the little white horse
Dinah and Dorinda from The Wind on the Moon

bettys I loved the Ring O Bells Mystery! Wasn't Barney the circus boy with a monkey called Miranda who would would come to entertain the lovely middle class kids?

Connie and Silky from The Faraway Tree
Daryl from Mallory Towers
Lottie from Little Princess
Marmalade (Atkins) wouldn't actually use it except for a cat!

kittytom, it's not Linette in Green Knowe, it's the much more beautiful
Linnet, like the bird. Such a good name but probably difficult to get it pronounced with stress on first syllable.

Sephy from Noughts and Crosses (short for Persephone)

Also like Mildred (The Worst Witch)

And Joey, short for Josephine from The Chalet School. Actually lots from that series!

Gruffalo

Georgina, Famous Five

Julian, famous five
Lyra, his dark materials
Albus, Harry Potter

squoosh yes he was, I always had a soft spot for him. I preferred the 'R' books to the Famous Five

Very nostalgic about Alfie and Annie-Rose. Would never use them though.

Oh I had forgotten Annie Rose, DS actually was going to be Annie Rose if he was a girl (Anna for best).
