I love the idea of honoring poets, especially poet activists! I’ve recently been fantasizing about a middle name theme honoring poets :joy:

Others have mostly chosen names inspired by poems so I’m going to mention my favourite names honoring inspirational poets.

[name_m]Langston[/name_m] [name_m]Hughes[/name_m] is my favourite poet and both of those names are good first or middle names I think!

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] (Walker)
[name_f]Audre[/name_f] / [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] (Lorde)
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (Perkins Gilman)
[name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] / [name_u]Parker[/name_u]
[name_f]Maya[/name_f] (Angelou)
[name_f]Sappho[/name_f]
[name_f]Sylvia[/name_f] (Plath)
[name_u]Walter[/name_u] (Walt Whitman)
[name_u]James[/name_u] or [name_u]Baldwin[/name_u] (wrote poems also)
[name_f]Gwendolyn[/name_f] / [name_u]Brooks[/name_u]
