Names of Authors

  1. Fitzgerald
    • Origin:

      Irish and Scottish
    • Meaning:

      "son of Gerald"
    • Description:

      Made famous by F. Scott Fitzgerald and John Fitzgerald Kennedy; still works best as a middle name.
  2. Sappho
    • Origin:

      Ancient Greek
    • Meaning:

      "sapphire"
    • Description:

      Name of the 7th century BC Greek lyric poet born on the island of Lesbos, whose name has been synonymous with lesbian love. Though this name is rarely used today, it certainly could be and, some might say, SHOULD be revived.
  3. Eliot
    • Origin:

      Variation of Elliot, English diminutive of Elias
    • Meaning:

      "Yahweh is God"
    • Description:

      Sleekened spelling.
  4. Woolf
    • Origin:

      Variation of Wolf, animal name
    • Description:

      The spelling Woolf inevitably conjures writer Virginia. If you're a fan of Mrs. Dalloway and the Bloomsbury group, Woolf might be a creative way to combine a trendy animal name with an original honor name. Woolf was the surname of Virginia's husband, Leonard.
  5. Maya
