Your favourite names from children's literature

[MammieBear]

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

It's Turkish for lion no wonder it's so strong
@chocolateavocado99

Jem - I suppose it's short or Jeremy. (To Kill A Mockingbird)
Ralph - (Lord of the Flies) Or Simon - same book.
Jim - (Treasure Island)

Interesting, they have no Turkish heritage to my knowledge.

He is a lovely child.

I've met an Aravis and a Corin. Questionable messages in the horse and his boy but lovely names.

Oh and overhead a Caspian in a bookshop once too.

@Schvitzing Caspian is gorgeous lovely sound to it, I picture a talented artsy sort.

Artemis for a boy
I loved the name Gwendolyn from Enid Blyton's St Claire's series, even though the character was a horror. Was going to use it for a DD, but had 4 DSs
Titty in Swallows and Amazons was short for Tatiana, which I also love. Suspect both Titty and Tatty would lead to ridicule though.

Hermione is beautiful (Hermi)!

Frederick (fatty from the find outers)
Marianne (Marianne dreams - that book gave me the willies but I loved it)
Tom (sawyer)
Finn (huckleberry)
Christopher (robin)

Charlie Bucket - charlie and the chocolate factory

Petrova and Posy, from Ballet Shoes
Yan and Edek from the Silver Sword
Caspian, from Prince...
Darrell, from Mallory Towers

Arrietty, Linnet, Marilla, Pippi.

Boys are harder!

Rush from "the Four Storey Mistake"

Caspian is quite heroic?
I love Dickon, but hadn't been brave enough before and might not ever. As adults and small kids it doesn't even register, but oh I shudder for the tweenie and teenager years!
Nice thread. So many old friends.

Matilda
Hermione (HP)
Bastian (never ending story)
Verity (chalet school stories)
Gaia (Mother Earth in a children's book of myths and legends I loved)

@Camomila lovely list, my Daughter's name is in there. ♥

Alice - Alice in Wonderland
Peter - Peter Pan
Wendy - "
Caspian - Chronicles of Narnia
Lucy - "
Matilda - Matilda
Charlie - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Christopher - Winnie the Pooh
Robin - Winnie the Pooh (Christopher's last name)/Robin Hood
Luna - Harry Potter
Dorothy - The Wizard of Oz

Arianna
Blythe
Winnie

I cannot decide if I'm brave enough to use Caspian for DS (due soon)! Hmm...

Why Artemis 'for a boy'?
Artemis is a Greek goddess and it's a girl's name.

It's because of the book series about Artemis Fowl, who is a boy. That always bugged me (although the books are brilliant), it is indeed a girl's name!

Titty

From swallows and Amazon’s....

Someone was bound to get there eventually 😏

I aim to please.

George (Georgina) - Famous Five.
