More Shakespearean names should be in common usage
Shakespeare invented the name Jessica, which became super mega popular, but I bet the first person to name their kid Jessica was met with some weird looks. Some Shakespearean names are popular, but plenty are unheard of despite how cool they are. Perdita, Charmian, Orsino, Florizel, Hermia, Leontes, Mardian, Cressida. Sure, not all of those characters are worthy namesakes, but if there are little Anakins walking around, there very well could be some Leonteses. Personally, I think Florizel is an incredibly good name, and it's not hard to pronounce. Charmian is like Charlotte with extra steps. These names are good! I know that plenty of Shakespearean names are already in common usage! There should be more!
