This name makes me think of a passage from Lolita, when Humbert is upset that Lolita (full name Dolores Haze, Lolita is the subject of his indecent infatuation, given that she is 12 and he is 40) is being sent away to summer camp: "Should I disguise myself as a somber old-fashioned girl, gawky Mlle Humbert, and put up my tent on the outskirts of Camp Q, in the hope that its russet nymphets would clamor: “Let us adopt that deep-voiced D.P., ” and drag the sad, shyly smiling Berthe au Grand Pied to their rustic hearth. Berthe will sleep with Dolores Haze!"
There is a character in the book "The Westing Game" named Berthe Erica Crow.
Berthe Morisot (1841-1895) was a French painter. She was a member of the Impressionist movement and was also the sister-in-law of Edouard Manet.
In Gustave Flaubert's famous novel "Madame Bovary", Emma Bovary's daughter is called Berthe.
