What names come to mind when you think of heroines (or antiheroines) of classic children’s/YA literature?
If you had to choose one of these names as a sister for [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_f]Claudia[/name_f], what would you pick?

[name_f]Nancy[/name_f]
[name_f]Pippi[/name_f]

[name_f]Madeline[/name_f]
The two that I can think of that haven’t already been mentioned are [name_f]Violet[/name_f] ([name_m]Beauregard[/name_m], Baudelaire) and [name_f]Heidi[/name_f].
With [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_f]Claudia[/name_f], my favorites are [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f].
This is the best question I’ve ever answered on here. I love literature. This has made my whole evening 
Alice ([name_f]Alice[/name_f]’s Adventures in Wonderland)
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] (The Wonderful [name_m]Wizard[/name_m] of [name_m]Oz[/name_m])
[name_f]Frances[/name_f] (A Tree Grows in [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u] - ‘‘[name_f]Francie[/name_f]’’)
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] (The Catcher in the [name_u]Rye[/name_u])
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_m]Little[/name_m] Women)
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] ([name_f]Matilda[/name_f])
[name_u]Scout[/name_u] (To Kill a Mockingbird)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ([name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]’s [name_m]Web[/name_m])
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] (Are You There, God? It’s Me, [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], also A Wrinkle in Time)
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] ([name_f]Narnia[/name_f])
[name_f]Lyra[/name_f] (The [name_u]Golden[/name_u] Compass)
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] ([name_f]Harriet[/name_f] the Spy)
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] (A Series of Unfortunate Events, also All the [name_u]Bright[/name_u] Places)
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f] (The Fault in Our Stars)
[name_f]Hermione[/name_f], [name_f]Luna[/name_f], or Belatrix ([name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m])
[name_f]Ella[/name_f] ([name_f]Ella[/name_f] Enchanted)
[name_f]Anna[/name_f] ([name_f]My[/name_f] [name_f]Sister[/name_f]’s Keeper)
[name_f]Nancy[/name_f] ([name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_u]Drew[/name_u])
[name_f]Wendy[/name_f] ([name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m])
[name_f]Liesel[/name_f] (The Book Thief)
[name_f]Winifred[/name_f] ([name_m]Tuck[/name_m] Everlasting - ‘‘[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]’’)
I actually love all these names but my favorites to go with [name_f]Ramona[/name_f] and [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] are: [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Nancy[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Hazel[/name_f], [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f], [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
Btw, is [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] form ‘From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs [name_u]Basil[/name_u] and E. Frankweiler’?
Matilda, [name_u]Scout[/name_u], [name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f], all names I love in large part because of their literary heroines. [name_f]Clementine[/name_f] also comes to mind even though I can’t actually think of a children’s book character with the name…
My new recent love: [name_f]Enola[/name_f]!
Yes, [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] does pop to mind.
Ramona, [name_f]Claudia[/name_f], and _____________…
Lyra?
