Girl Names of Literature theme

Literature names for baby girls, with 85 entries. Classic literature offers a selection of time-tested names that have come alive with the personality of their characters – just think of Catherine in ‘Wuthering Heights’ and Elinor from ‘Sense and Sensibility’. Modern literature continues to be a major source of inspiration for names. One only needs to look at the name Bella from the ‘Twilight’ series, and Lisbeth from ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’.
