Ha @aliasgrape do you think Boris and Carrie will call their next child Wilma?

I think Dougal, Florence, Zebedee and Ermintrude are all beautiful. Sadly no more DC for me.

Also Zippy, George and Bungle. I realise these aren't literary references, but rather The Arts. Nevertheless worth including for consideration.

Barbara, with Biff as nn?

Kipper works for a boy or a dog.
