To be fair, George wasn't a girl's name, just a pen-name used by a woman.

Besides that, I love all the girls names (so classically beautiful!) and most of the guys' names, barring Henrick, Edgar, Victor and Herman.

I was taking a guess at these, as well.

I'm not familiar with Kate Chopin (or wasn't, before I just Wikied her...did I really just say "Wikied"?), but Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote "The Yellow Wallpaper."

For a few of the blanks, I'm guessing:

Guy de Maupassant
Robert Louis Stevenson
Thomas Hardy

Chopin must be "The Awakening" then. I tend to get them mixed up.
