Who invented these names?

Many popular foreign names were invented by writers. For instance, Philip Sidney first mentioned the name Pamela in his novel "Arcadia." The name Jessica appears in William Shakespeare's works, and Vanessa in those of Jonathan Swift. It is known that the name Yevgeny became popular through Pushkin's novel "Eugene Onegin"; before that, its French variant, Eugene, was widespread. The diminutive form "Zhenya" is believed to have originated from this. The names Lara and Larisa were born after the publication of Boris Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago."
