I'm a Hawthorne fan, so IF I were to name my kid after a literary character, I guess I would name her (if it was a girl) Hester Prynne (Last Name).
Strong, tough, passionate name, as befits the namesake.
Alternate------Pearl Prynne. For the "wild child" in all of us. LOL.
For a boy-----Goodman Brown (Last Name). Just for the "unusualness" of it.
Alternates:
Montague Rhodes James Something Something.
OR
William Hope Hodgson Something Something.
LOVE weird fiction. LOL.
Or just Nathaniel Hawthorne plus my last name. Obvious.
What are YOU guys's choices?
Your turn now.
