Top Ten Character Names I Love
Loved this topic! I'm always making notes about names that are gorgeous, especially if they're in some of my favorite books so here are some of the best names I've come across.
Celaena - love this name even though I pondered over how to pronounce it for the longest time!
Ismae - I've always loved the name Esme but Twilight ruined it for me. This is close but still different enough.
Kisten - from the Hollows novels, Kisten was my favorite character and the name is unforgettable.
Coraline - no reason except that I love the name.
Yelena - another name that's familiar but different.
Violet - I had a best friend when I was little called Violet and I have always loved the name.
Cersei &
Daenerys - cheating a bit here by listing two from the same series but I could have listed a lot more, GRRM has a knack of picking great names.

| 8. Lovely, Dark & Deep - Amy McNamara |
Wren - probably my favorite name, one of my friends actually called her daughter Wren!
Clara - my sister's name :)
Karou - completely unusual but absolutely perfect for the character
Karou's a good name! I had Zuzana on my TTT.

I love Cersei & Daenerys ;-) Karou & Coraline are good picks too.
ReplyDeleteGreat names! I see we have many in common :)
ReplyDeleteI completely forgot to add Ismae and Yelena to my list! Your list is actually quite similar to mine. We both seem to love unusual names!

I forgot about Cersei. The name sounds so sexy when it is spoken.
