I'm having a baby boy!!!

I am a lover of the classics. What are your favorite boys names from classic novels?

wow, thank you!

Theodore Laurence: Little Women~ esp. after Christian Bale played him
Frederick: Persuasion
[Anne] Elliott: Persuasion~ although it was only spelled with one T.
[Colonel] Brandon: Sense & Sensibility
Charles: Pride & Prejudice
Heathcliff: Wuthering Heights, but mainly b/c of Heath Ledger.
Colin: The Secret Garden

Probably more but I am too lazy.

I love all the books you referenced, and their movie counterparts (with the exception of Wuthering Heights, which I never got around to). Darcy from P&P has been growing on me for a boy too (in general, not for my own use)

[duckduckcaboose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I much prefer Darcy (and actually Lindsay for some reason) on boys lately... but I'd never do that to a child, lol.

Heh, the first one that came to mind was Roark, and I'm sure you can see why. ;) (The Fountainhead)

Dorian from Dorian Gray :)

Whatever you do, please don't use Atticus or Holden. So cliche.

[batting0.livejournal.com]

Elijah and Benjamin are two of my favorites!

Congrats on the boy!

[kitchen-poet.livejournal.com]

Tristan, Darcy, William, and Edmund.

Heathcliff and Fitzwilliam are totally guilty pleasure names. :)
