I'm thinking of adding some literary names to my list, seeing as I am a literature major, and I could use some fresh perspectives. What are your favorite literary names, meaning names honoring your favorite authors or fictional characters? The more responses the merrier Thanks!

Fun-- Literary major!

Well, my favorite literary character of all time is Laurie in Little Women <3
(I basically fell madly in love with him while reading the book!)
Anyway, Teddy is Jo March's affectionate name for him. She later named her son after him. I have recently been in love with the name Theodore, partly because it would honor my fave lit. character

Not sure I could narrow down a fave author, but I have loosely honored Louisa May Alcott, Max Lucado, and Laura Ingalls Wilder (and characters from her books) in some different combos.

I might think of something else later, but enjoy reading!

I like Phoebe and Holden from Catcher in the Rye a lot <3 Love love love. I have a love / hate relationship with Milo since reading Catch 22. I love it, but... idk. He's quite the character. Can't lie that Daisy gained more appeal to me since reading The Great Gatsby forever ago, though lately I prefer Maisie to Daisy. And oddly, I liked Maggie / Margaret more after reading Maggie, Girl of the Streets. Though that was a sad story. I do like Charlotte and Bronte a lot, obvious source there lol. 

 

I like a lot of literary names in general. Nameberry has some great lists with a bunch of them, though I've not read all the books to each name.
