b/b twins... vs. classic literature inspired names? vs. eg:Heathcliff/Fitzwilliam Thoughts?

So I’m having twin boys! So Excited!!!! My question is this... I’m a big classical literature fan... (books not movies ;)) and so the soon-to-be arrival of two gorgeous cherubs has allowed me to potentially use the names of some of my favourite fictional characters. I just want to know if using two names which although not directly related (as in from the same book) may sound a [removed]eesy/weird??? Thoughts? And in case it helps, my two top favourites are currently Fitzwilliam (from Pride and Prejudice) and Heathcliff (from Wuthering Heights). I’d really appreciate any suggestions/experiences/thoughts! Thank you :-)

I always thought Finn and Sawyer were cute together. So character’s last names can work too! (Huckleberry & Tom)

I don’t think names from classic literature can ever be cheesy. I like Fitzwilliam and Heathcliff very much. Two Shakespearean names would also be great.

Will and Heath are cute nicknames. 👍

Way too much. They’re good names for books, but in real life they’re a bit too snobbish. I mean, if you think of Darcy, he was extremely rich and arrogant, which is what the names give off.

You could always do names inspired by classic literature names, as in name them Heath and William from the above example and when they ask how you chose their names then you can give them the story.

I think Fitzwilliam is too much - how about Heathcliffe and Atticus? Although I also love the suggestion of Heath and William -- same names just more manageable!

I think it would be cute to do Fitz (middle name) William and Heath (middle name) Cliff.
