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
