As the title says, what are your favourite litarary names? those can be names from writers and characters.

I adore,

Josephine, [name_u]Louise[/name_u], from “[name_m]Little[/name_m] Women”. [name_u]Louise[/name_u] is the Writer “[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f] [name_u]Alcott[/name_u]” aamd Josephine is my favourite character.

[name_f]Klara[/name_f], [name_f]Heidi[/name_f], From [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]. I simply love these names so much, especially [name_f]Heidi[/name_f] has been on my list for a long time. [name_f]Klara[/name_f] is the spelling they use in the book, and it feels very [name_m]German[/name_m] to me, which I love.

[name_f]Alice[/name_f], [name_f]Alice[/name_f] in Wonderland. I got the book ‘[name_f]Alice[/name_f] in wonderland’ once from my dad, and the moment I saw the book, I just invisioned a little bookstore selling all these books. A very Positve association for me.

I am curious to all your litarary names!
