I've taken on literature, but I'm not starting at the beginning of the alphabet. If you would prefer I did so, let me know and I'll redo it. :) Each person has been named after a character in a book (and in one case, a poem).

LN: Marlow
DH: Nemo Oliver
DW: Pearl Queenie

DS: Ronald Sam
DD: Thursday Undine
DD: Vianne Wanda
DS: Xavier Yorrick
DD/DS: Zuleika Alice, Bartholomew Charley

That was exceedingly hard. My definition of "literature" is pretty loose, as you might be able to guess.
