I have found that many of my favorite names are from books. Some of the popular books. I am a bookworm so isn’t surprising, but how bad would it be to name all your children after book characters that you love, or should you just stick to one child being named after a book character?
I think you could get away with using all character names - I think so long as they aren’t all (really obviously) from the same book, it wouldn’t seem odd at all
I think naming kids after your favourite book characters is a really sweet idea, it gives you something to pass on to them and they may think being named after a character in a book is a cool thing! I’m not super into reading but I love music, [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is one of my favourite songs from a band I love and I have plans to use it as a mn someday. I’ve always wanted to name a daughter [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f] so I could sing the song to her hahah
[name_f]Arwen[/name_f] is one of my favourite names ever, so I’m definitely using that. I don’t know if mythological names count too, but [name_f]Freya[/name_f] and [name_u]Tristan[/name_u] are also up there, and if I had two daughters and a son that would be the sibset (if my other half wouldn’t veto them 
)
As long as they are admirable characters with qualities and stories your children would be proud of, why not?! I wouldn’t go naming my child “[name_f]Winnie[/name_f]” after [name_f]Winnie[/name_f] the Pooh, but a finer literary personality with substance and moral would make sense to me. Be prepared to tell your kids why you thought to name them after those namesakes.
I think it could definitely work. Personally I think naming them all based on one book (or one author’s works) would be too much for me but if someone really loved those stories then I don’t see anything wrong with it.
I mean, honestly the character’s backstory would have a lot to do with the decision. A hard background, sure, but anything too violent or if the character made a plethora of dark decisions or whatever I’d kind of question using them as a child’s namesake even if the character themselves is easy to love or a positive association. But that’s just me.
I am totally all for it! I love the idea of naming a child after a character we know and love (as long as the work they are from is complete, since the association could turn sour.) A lot of the names I love are from [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] plays and I don’t think that’s an issue at all because [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] has had a larger and more significant role in my own life than in most others. If the name and characters mean something to you, I don’t see why it should be perceived as weird!
I agree with previous posters. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a literary sibset as long as the characters aren’t all from the same book (I think that would be a bit too much for me), and I also recommend only choosing names from series that are finished to avoid any accidental negative associations (I feel sorry for all the baby Daenaryses who were so named before GoT was over, for example).
This makes me feel so much better! I love the names we’ve chosen. They’re both intelligent, kind and loyal, fierce friends. Also they are taken from 2 different books and I they sound fantastic together. Thank you!
I don’t think it’s an issue. Most names in books are just normal names, so unless the literary association is incredibly obvious (e.g. names like Gandalf, [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] etc), I don’t see a problem.
I’ve been dead set on using [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] for my first son ever since I first read [name_f]Narnia[/name_f] when I was six so I’m definitely here for using literary characters. I think you can have multiple so long as it’s not names that are well known to come from one series - eg. [name_m]Harry[/name_m], [name_m]Ron[/name_m] & [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] - or names that are practically synonymous with their stories as standalones - eg. [name_f]Arwen[/name_f], [name_m]Kylo[/name_m] & [name_m]Draco[/name_m]
