When it came to naming my children, my favourite books were a big source of inspiration.
Books have fueled the imagination for centuries and when naming a baby there's no better place to start. From children's literature to the classics, poetry and prose, there's so much inspiration.
I put my bookworm skills to good use and put together twelve sonnet-worthy girls names. This list draws inspiration from Shakespearean works to modern classics like Harry Potter and Irish originals.
So whether you see your daughter peering over a balcony in fair Verona, or going for a butterbeer in the Three Broomsticks, this list is filled with literary delights befitting any poetry worthy princess.
