HelpRe: Erised?
in reply to a message by jennifer
I don't think Erised or Khaleesi count as literary names. Literary names, to me, are ACTUAL names used by characters. Erised and Khaleesi don't fit the bill.
Anyway, they both sound incredibly stupid. I can't imagine introducing myself as Erised, OR Khaleesi. Ugh.

I see your point, but they are words that were created for literature that were later used as names. Maybe quasi-literary would be a better term.

I'd call those literary word names. They're words used as names, but the words are from literature.
