So, I’m trying to get a name for a leading lady in my book and I’m having a heck of a time trying to find a literary name I like that isn’t weird. I’m quite stuck on [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_m]Little[/name_m] Women), but that may be because I just recently saw the movie and loved it.
I also don’t want anything that is too out there.
Thanks!
Quick Edit: A name that has nickname options would be preferred to, but not necessary.
Second Edit: While I will still gladly accept suggestions, I’ve decided to just stick with Josephine. Still searching for a middle name though!
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Hester[/name_f] (Prynne, from The [name_f]Scarlett[/name_f] Letter)? Similar strong, old-fashioned vibes as [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], but much less popular.
[name_f]Hester[/name_f] is a name I really like but sadly doesn’t fit the character. Thank you so much though!
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] ([name_f]Sylvia[/name_f]'s Lovers)
[name_f]Adele[/name_f] ([name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Eyre[/name_f])
[name_u]Nelly[/name_u] (Wuthering Heights)
[name_f]Justine[/name_f] (Frankenstein)
[name_u]Jordan[/name_u] (The Great [name_m]Gatsby[/name_m])
[name_f]Ada[/name_f] (Bleak House)
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] ([name_f]Olive[/name_f])
[name_f]Paulina[/name_f] ([name_f]Villette[/name_f])
[name_f]Molly[/name_f] (Wives and Daughters)
[name_f]Rosanna[/name_f] (The Moonstone)
[name_f]Clarissa[/name_f] (Mrs Dalloway)
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f] ([name_m]Othello[/name_m])
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] (Turn of the Screw/[name_u]Waverly[/name_u])
