Re: Erised?
I don't think Erised or Khaleesi count as literary names. Literary names, to me, are ACTUAL names used by characters. Erised and Khaleesi don't fit the bill.Anyway, they both sound incredibly stupid. I can't imagine introducing myself as Erised, OR Khaleesi. Ugh. Willoughby wolloughby willina, an elephant sat on Billina.

I see your point, but they are words that were created for literature that were later used as names. Maybe quasi-literary would be a better term.

I'd call those literary word names. They're words used as names, but the words are from literature.
