How is Lolita not on here yet?!

And how about:
Mary, Mary (James Patterson)
Mary, Mary (Ed McBain)
Mary (Nabokov)

Is it OK if the title includes last name? If so then Jane Eyre, Mary Poppins, and Mildred Pierce.

Please feel free to add Lolita. It would be a big help as I am still adding to this list as fast as I can.

As for Jane Eyre, I would prefer that this list only contain the first name in the title, without a surname.

Works of fiction that only have a first name title are usually outstanding for the fact that the main character is so completely well defined and strong, that they are able to carry a story from beginning to end, with the reader becoming emotionally attached and entranced by her adventures.

Thanks for adding your thoughts Michele :D

Yes Michele, I think Mary, Mary will be fine since it's the character's first name. I'm usually pretty lenient when it comes to lists so if the title repeats the first name I'm even more curious to see what it's all about :D

Thanks so much for your help!

message 5: by ``Laurie (new)

Jun 03, 2018 03:23PM

Thanks Susanna, I've decided to make exceptions for classic works such as "Jane Eyre".

To further define books that can be considered classics;

1. Books written in/or before the 19th century that are still loved and read today.

2. An admirable heroine that overcomes many obstacles and manages to survive - to the extent that they are frequently re-read.

3. An admirable heroine that displays much character and discipline during her travails, such as Jane Eyre.

4. No trashy heroines.

If you can expand upon this criteria please feel free to do so since I need all the help I can get.

I do appreciate your feedback!

Wonder why there so many "Liliths"? I've never known a woman with that name, and I've known a few (women).

The little bit that I know about Lillith is that she was supposed to be Adam's evil 1st wife before he ditched her for Eve. Lillith is considered to be a real b*tch so that's why you never hear of anybody with her name Haha!

What Laurie says is basically correct. This idea
of Lilith has become a feminist theme that is
why there are so many books under her name.

@``Laurie Henderson
I've read your comments, but Jane Eyre still strikes me as the odd one out. Personally, it doesn't feel right to me, it being on this list.

If one allows Jane Eyre for instance, then Sister Carrie is another one that should be on this list in my opinion, as it was published in the nineteenth century (just) and is still 'loved and read today'. But, like Jane Eyre, if one does allow it, then where does one draw the line....?

Another problem I came across is translated tittles, for instance Amber, or Rachel, or Liza, or Gigi, and so on. Books (titles) are often called something else in a translation. My suggestion is that the one first name you mentioned in the description has to be in original titles as well?

You're absolutely right too. I wanted this to be a list of only first name titles but I'm too easygoing sometimes and want everyone to be happy :D

Think I deleted all eight books that didn't meet the obvious criteria of this list.

I've left the books that had both first name and surname, as well as the books with a subtitle. More and more of books with either are creeping in, even though the description is quite clear: "Books of Fiction with only a woman's first name as the title."

Thanks for the help. I wish you would remove the two named titles, consisting of a first and last name; such as Anne Boleyn or Hester Roon.

I'd do it myself but I don't know how.

Well it's a shame I can't delete books on my own list *smh.

But yes, I only want one name titles on the list, so sadly, Jane Eyre and Anne Boleyn have to go.

I'm pretty sure I've seen other lists they were exclusively for women's names for the title so I want this one to be one name only.

Thanks for your help Susanna :D
