You Remind Me of the (Literary) Babe

     PureWow put out a fascinating and adorable article about baby names based off of literary characters. I seriously hope people are thinking hard before they christen their baby Hermione (Harry Potter) but I did see some cute ideas based on some charming kids' books and movies of my childhood.

• Ramona (Ramona Quimby, Age 8; Beezus and Ramona) By Beverly Cleary                     (The movie is Ramona and Beezus).  Please do not name you child Beezus!
• Harriet (Harriet the Spy) By Louise Fitzhugh
• Winnie (As in The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) By A.A. Milne                                Jimmy Fallon's daughter is named Winnie, from Pooh  or The Wonder Years? 
• Finn (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) By Mark Twain                                             (and the underrated  90's movie Tom and Huck with Jonathan Taylor Thomas)

I would also add to my list: 

• Logan (Bruno, Aussie boy baby sitter from The Babysitters Club) By Ann M. Martin
• Sheila (Otherwise Known as Sheila the Great) By Judy Blume                                             Also in: Superfudge, Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, Fudge-A-Mania
• James (James and the Giant Peach) By Roald Dahl 
• Jessica/ Elizabeth (Sweet Valley Twins, Sweet Valley High) By Francine Pascal                    Also in : Sweet Valley University, SVH: Senior Year, and a future movie
