It is not a fitting name match for a man named Reeve. It’s just a shame that his love interest is named Flossie. I like that it is used for a hero who is bookish, reclusive and a bit put off by his scatterbrained female neighbor. Even in a regular font, it just looks like it has its’ own special flourish.ĭoesn’t this name conjure up all kinds of sexy male images in your mind. I also love the unique spelling of her first and last names together. But I love that it is used for a medieval heroine. Gray is more commonly used as a name for men. Why? Because the name Bracken has proven to be extremely memorable for me. But it is the first one I thought of when working on this week’s prompt. Regardless, I love that his last names speaks volumes about the story and the man.īracken of Hawkings Crest – The Knight and the Doveĭo you know how many years it has been since I read this book? Decades. I don’t know if I love Charlie Lionheart more because of his name or if I love his name because of his character. The first name perfectly describes the male hero and matched with the last name leaves a beautiful taste in my mouth when I say it.Ĭharlie Lionheart – The Lady and the Lionheart Without a doubt, this is my favorite book character name ever. It is a beautiful name for a heroine in a great historical story. But I’ve always love the way it looks and sounds. Tamsen (and it’s variant spellings) is not a common name here in the U.S., but is one I see more frequently in British films and series. Tamsen Littlejohn – The Pursuit of Tamsen Littlejohn
Thankfully, this topic prompted me to dig back into some of my favorite stories to search out some great names. I’m actually kind of mad at myself about it. This week’s topic choice however made me realize that I haven’t kept a list of my favorite book character names. And at one point I wanted to re-name myself Lavender (don’t ask!) I once carried on a two hour phone conversation discussing names, liked and disliked. I loved keeping lists of my favorites and most hated names as well as reading about their origins and meanings. As a child one of my most cherished books, which I read over and over, was a baby name book. This just may be my favorite Top Ten Tuesday topic ever!įor as long as I can remember I have been in love with and fascinated by names. Today’s Topic: Best Character Names ( make this as narrow/broad as you’d like)
