Bronte is in the same vein as Princess or Nevaeh for me.
Alternatively, I could imagine a Bronte with siblings named Holden and Atticus with young hipster Mother.

absolutely disagree
It's on my favourites list.
I think it is very classy and pretty, not to mention historical, nothing like princess or nevaeh which are totally made up.
think of the famous Bronte sisters

Literature is my life. I am aware of the Bronte sisters. I've read all of their published novels several times. Have you?
The point is that most highly literate people would never choose something so obvious. It is painful. It's like naming your child Gucci to show how into fashion you are.

Yeah that was their SURNAME!
It's exactly the same as Princess, it's just misappropriating a different "historical" impulse. "Princess" misappropriates the idea of royalty-as-classy; "Bronte" misappropriates a vague literary connection as classy. It's totally not historical. This is not a fair argument to make. "Classy" is a really subjective (and totally abominable) term but I think it usually means used commonly by either members of the old aristocracy (Elizabeth Mary Anne Henry Alistair Philomena) or the newer, unofficial, glam-istocracy (Marilyn, Audrey). Bronte has neither of these precedents
