I thought I'd revive Filly's Literary Crossover game with a small variation.

Have you ever thought "What if so-and-so from a certain book married what's his name from another book and had children?" or ever thought "Aren't Laura Ingles & Icabod Crane from LHOTP and Sleepy Hollow just PERFECT for each other?"

Well, Here is your chance to Name Their Children!

Like the Name the Children game, please bold your entry for each couple and I'll post the winners when I add a new round. (Names for children can relate to Character's time period, family/friends, have significant meaning or be an Ode to one of the parents i.e. Lancelot [Lance + Lot] has daughter Arromore [Arrow + more], explainations for names would be welcome.)

Our first mash up are...Sir Lancelot and Helen of Troy! The Greatest Knight of the Round Table and The Beauty Whose Face Launched a Thousand Ships! They married when Helen fled from Menelaus even after he won the ten year war for her, and Lancelot began to grow tired of Guinevere who would not produce any children for him. Helen had no problem at all producing children, and gave Lancelot twins on the first go!

Our second lucky couple is comprised of two of the most famous detectives of all times: Sherlock Holmes and Nancy Drew! The intellectual mastermind of 221B Baker Street and the wealthy, talented young heroine of River Heights! They married after Nancy got tired of the Hardy boys and Sherlock realized he would never be able to catch Irene Adler. Imagine how brilliant and observant the children of this pair would be!

Our third couple is probably the most eccentric and never-move-on pair of literary history: Captain Ahab & Miss Havisham! If Captain Ahab ever gave up searching for Moby Dick and brought the Pequod into port, he would be perfect for Miss Havisham of Great Expectations. And she already has a dress! Their children would be the epitome of stubborn.
