I love the name Lavinia, but it’s kind of a bummer as far as Shakespearean names go. Vinny would be such a cute nickname!

No.

Oops, thought history of antiquity. The first two were queens, not mythology / literature.



Cleopatra is heavily covered in literature

Finn is pretty popular. I do love the name Holden but couldn’t use it because our last name ends with -den and it sort of rhymed.

Atticus Finch wasn’t Greek.
