Suggest some girls names from literature
Dh really likes Galadriel, Persephone, and Guinevere. He likes (though not as much) Ophelia. And he likes the sound of (but wouldn't use) Abcde.
What are some other names you think he'd like? They don't HAVE to be from literature, but that's what's on his mind right now.

Love my little sparrow, Caemlyn Sparrow Gail; my Hucklebaby, David Royce Huckleberry "Huck"; and my Rain, forever in my heart

We've discussed it, and
We're both sold on Persephone. At least for now.

Ok this doesn't really answer your actual question, but Abcde reminded me that I met a little girl named Abyssinia a few years back. Which has a similar sound. And in looking for that name on here, I noticed
Abeni - whose meaning is awesome
Abhilasha - also great meaning
Abiah
Abijah
Abital
Any chance those appeal to you?

I like Jane Austen names but something tells me that's not his style, unless of course Cassandra? Maybe Cassandra.
What about:
Desdemona
Imogen
Cressida
Portia
Hester
Calixta
Domenica
Faunia
Ginevra
Hermione
Elphaba
Aelita
Altariel (form of Galadriel)
Calpurnia
Celimene
Clarissant
Corisande
Desmia
Eduaphora
Elsinore
Fairamay
Helenore
Lalaith
Leucippe
Lothiriel
Morgause
Marilla
Medora
Melisandre
Melussina
Nymeria
Phaedria
If you want more lit names that aren't in the database, check these out: http://www.behindthename.com/submit/names/gender/feminine/usage/literature

The average poster can't use that second link; you have to have editing capabilities.
Oh well. It was a nice thought.
Maybe...
Aoide
Calanthe
Arwen
Hero
Coraline
Kestral
Aravis
Lasaraleen
Ariadne
Arianrhod
Calypso
Juliet
Amaryllis
Cosette
Um. That doesn't look like a very good list to me, but maybe there's one you guys like.
