Girl names from literature?

I am simply drawing a blank on girl names from literature.  Our DD is Ophelia and our DS is Atticus so we want to stay loosely with the theme of literature.  I don't yet know the sex but there are boy name contenders already (Horatio, Hector, Oscar).  Throw out any literary girl names you can think of it you don't mind.

TIA

Not a girls name but I knew a guy named Stile. He told me it was from a book. I know some will totally side eye that name but I though it was unique and different.

I'm also a fan of the Little Women names- you cant go wrong. Larisa is also a great suggestion and fits well with your sibset. Also, maybe Hester from the Scarlett Letter and Charles Dickens' Oliver.

Thanks, I really like Scarlett.  It's immediately recognizable as being from Gone With the Wind.  A lot of the names are nice but not immediately known by many as being from a specific piece of literature.

DD is Nora, from A Doll's House by Ibsen.  It's also the name of James Joyce's wife (Nora Barnacle), the inspiration for the character Molly Bloom in Ulysees. 

(DD was born the day before Bloom's Day - we actually named her on June 16th.)

Zoeylucy:
Shakespeare's female characters: Portia, Rosalind, Viola, Katherina, Bianca, Cordelia. ETA: Helena, Regan, Miranda

I love all these options, with the exception of Regan due to its unfortunate overlap with the dead-presidents-as-girls'-names trend.

I also love Ophelia and (obviously) Atticus!
