Naming your kids after you're fav book character

What would you name your kids if you were to name them after your favorite literary name?

Mine:
([name_m]Son[/name_m]) [name_m]Augustus[/name_m] (the fault in our stars)
(Daughter) [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] (see above)
(Daughter) [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] “belly” (the summer I turned pretty)
([name_m]Son[/name_m]) [name_m]Harry[/name_m] ([name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m])

I actually have [name_m]Potter[/name_m] on my boys’ list because of [name_m]Harry[/name_m] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] blush

Any book that makes me want to name my children after them is a winner in my opinion!

[name_m]Henry[/name_m] - Time [name_u]Traveler[/name_u]'s Wife
[name_u]Waverly[/name_u] - Glow
[name_u]Adair[/name_u] - a SVT book
[name_f]Ziva[/name_f] (well more TV show than book)

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite boys combo is all literary names.
[name_m]Caspian[/name_m] (The Chronicles of [name_f]Narnia[/name_f]) [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] ([name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] [name_m]Holmes[/name_m]) [name_m]Walter[/name_m] (Crippen, my favourite book).
