I need some male or female names that are from Victorian England times, please specify gender and give meaning if you have it. For a book I'm writing, thanks.

No, I am not writing a book on names from Victorian England. I'm writing a fictional novel in which two (TWO!) of my characters are possibly (POSSIBLY!) going to be given names from that time period. And yes, I DO know how to do research, and I have. The only reason I posted on here is to get another opinion.
Do I look stupid to you?

Most likely names depended on the type of work they did. That's as far as Surnames (last names). Then, there are, first names: Lewis, Noel, Phillipe, Johnathan, Sarah. Nathan, Margarette, Mary, Elizabeth, Roscoe, James, Abbey, William, Harriett, Henry, Richard, Louie, Paul, Oliver, Pippy,
That's a few

Charlotte, Emily, Thomas, Charles, Jane, William, Anne, Anthony, Mary, Elizabeth.... all taken from Victorian authors and characters off the top of my head.
Here's a good list of Vic era names:

You're writing a book on this, and you can't research this basic information? And you actually want to ask Yahoo! Answers readers for this info?
Will we receive proper citation and footnoting?
Try VICTORIA, Albert, Jane, Elizabeth, Edward, Charles, George, Emily, Charlotte, Robert. Plenty of famous people of that era had those names.

I like to delve into my family history every once in a while, and I found two female names that I really like; Dorcas and Keziah.
My fiance won't let me name our first born Keziah. D'oh, so unfair.
