But I didn't want to use "Jane" because (1) it's common and (2) everyone would think it was my real name. So I chose Rochester, the name of the man Jane falls in love with. Also, my real name is more commonly a male name, so it works in that regard as well.
Oh, I love Jane Eyre! And yet I never connected it.

My all time favorite, though, is Wuthering Heights. There are some passages I could just read again and again and again.
"Eliana" is quite simply my chosen Hebrew name. It means "God has answered".
