Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, this feature includes random weekly bookish top tens. This week's list is - top ten characters or literary figures that I'd name my children after. It's a rewind week! Freebie time! I'm picking this one because I haven't yet participated in this one. Now, I don't plan on having ANY children, so this may be a list for future pets. But if I were to have a child, I may consider any of the following names.- Georgina
Richelle Mead - Succubus Blues
Goodness, I love this series. I gush about it every chance I get. My girl would have a strong female namesake. Gotta love that! - Elizabeth/Lizzie/Eliza
Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
Of course this was coming. This is my favorite book of all time! ;o) - Abby
Christopher Moore - Bite Me
If you've ever read this book, you know that Abby Normal is anything but normal. But that's why I love her!! - Aurora
Charlaine Harris - Real Murders
It's really only because I like the name :o) But I've read all the books and definitely enjoyed them! - Clarice
Thomas Harris - Silence of the Lambs
Yep. You gotta love Clarice! Except for probably the very end of Hannibal. That's when she loses it. But other than that.. :o) - Hester/Prynne
Nathaniel Hawthorne - The Scarlet Letter
She'd hate me, but I'd do it. Maybe a middle name ;o) - Huxley
Aldous Huxley - Brave New World
It's one of my favorite books. I'd love to name something that. - Harper
Harper Lee - To Kill A Mockingbird
Again, another one of those classic favorites. It'd be a fantastic, strong name. - Portia
William Shakespeare - Merchant of Venice
I've always thought it was interesting. It helps that I just read Portia de Rossi's book, too. - Truman/Capote
Truman Capote - In Cold Blood
How cool would it have been if we'd named our dogs Truman and Capote?! DAMN. Wish I would have thought of that sooner!
What do you think of my list? I've enjoyed making it! Hope you leave me a link to your list. I'd love to check it out. Thanks! Happy Tuesday!
Great topic for the freebie.
ReplyDeleteGreat names! I like Portia a lot too. I think one of my favorites from a book series is Gemma from The Gemma Doyle books by Libba Bray. :)
