100 Literary and Storybook-Inspired Baby Names

As someone with a degree in English & Literature, I have always been drawn to names that remind me of the characters I’ve read about. There’s something very beautiful about the connections and associations we make with a name once we’ve been introduced to a character.

This month, I’ve compiled a number of these names (with some of my favorites being Alice, Coraline, Jane, and Darcy).
