Names from the Novels of Charles Dickens

Greetings, readers!

Today's post is a long list of some of the names found in Charles Dickens' novels. It's by no means complete, but it is very interesting!


Because of the double use of names, I'll only be listing the names in the novels in which they first appear - there are so many Joe's!

Also, if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, check out the Great Dickens Christmas Fair, ending this weekend!
