Dorrit
Dorrit may not be one of the most popular baby names, but it should be! In fact, it’s on its way up in popularity because of its unique qualities and history.

She is the novel's main character. After a two-decade absence, Arthur Clennam returns home to find her, and he is eager to start a new life with her.
