The one that sprang to mind for me was The Name of the Rose. Oddly it doesn’t show up as a title drop in the data.

Just remembered that Good Time does this as well, and it's heartbreaking.
Nearest thing to a name drop is the end, but isnt a name drop (also spoilers):

"And yet, now that I am an old, old man, I must confess that of all the faces that appear to me out of the past, the one I see most clearly is that of the girl of whom I've never ceased to dream these many long years. She was the only earthly love in my life, yet I never knew, nor ever learned, her name."
