Top Ten Tuesday #14



Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted over at Broke and Bookish. This weeks is: Top Ten Unusual Character Names and Top Ten Character Names I Love:
 
Unusual Character Names
  1. Katniss from The Hunger Names: not a name you hear everyday when walking on the street.
  2. Vasilissa from Vampire Academy: maybe it's more common in eastern Europe, but I hadn't heard of it before.
  3. Ciardis from Sworn to Raise: I believe that this name was made up by the author, but please do correct my if I'm wrong.
  4. Celaena from Throne of Glass: not a very common name, but I do love it!
  5. America from The Selection: maybe their are people named America but it's rather unusual in my eyes.

Character Names I love:
  1. Rose form Vampire Academy: I just love this name, if I ever had a girl I would definitely name her Rose.
  2. Sydney from Bloodlines: I know it's a city, but I still love it as a name.
  3. Elena from The Vampire Diaries: maybe I'm a bit biased because my own name resembles it so much. But still a beautiful name.
  4. Augustus form The Fault In Our Stars: if you want to name your child after a month than this is the perfect name.
  5. Gemma from A Great and Terrible Beauty: a simpel but beautiful name.

      America is a little strange for a name, but maybe one day it's normal who knows. And there are so many great names in books, I Always name my fish after book characters :)

      Thanks for stopping by!

    I don't like America as a name! I'm pretty sure there are people called America though. I hope that it's quite rare!

      I don't live in the States so that's maybe why it's a little less awkward for me :)

    I forgot about Celeana, probably because I wouldn't be able to spell it without looking it up. lol. Great list. I wasn't a huge fan of America's name but agree I loved Elena! Here are my picks.

    Love your choices! It took me a while to be cool with Rosemarie, but I adore Rose as a character, and her nickname is perfect, as is Lissa's. Great list!

      I took me a while too to like Rosemarie but she's mostly called Rose anyway. And I do think that it fits her :)
