Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Character Names I Love

Top Ten Tuesday is an extremely fun meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish. Today, bloggers must compile our Top Ten Character Names/Top Ten Unusual Character Names. I guess I got two birds with one stone because my favorite character names are unusual!

It didn't take me long to write such a list, for there have always been quite a few names that have stood out to me. But it was after I finished it that I realized how much I love names that are either weird, old, or both (which is why I love constellation names). I'm definitely curious to see other bloggers' lists for this topic because I want to know if I'm the only one who's a fan of such unconventional names, and maybe I'll find some other cool names.

 

But enough rambling, here's my list for the week:

 

Orion
- From Across the Universe by Beth Revis

 

Arraine Alter
- From Fallen by Lauren Kate

 

Salamanca
- From Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech

 

Draco
- From the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

 

Aro
- From New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

 

Cato
- From Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare

 

Catcher
- From The Dead-Tossed Waves and The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan

 

Erik Night

Hermione

What do you guys think? Do you like any of these names? Please let me know and have a happy Tuesday!
