I started this list with the intention of just putting together a list of my favorite character names but as I kept adding names I realized all the ones I like also happen to be a little out of the ordinary. So here is my list of favorites with the added benefit that they also happen to be unusual! Also because I couldn't decide my Top 10 Became Top 12.



2 Howl/Howell- Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
3 Alina Starkov- Shadow & Bone Leigh Bardugo



5 Blue Sargent- The Raven Boys Series by Maggie Stiefvater
I also love the name Richard Campbell Gansey III
6 Ink- Indelible by Dawn Metcalf



8 Cassel- White Cat by Holly Black
9 Day- Legend by Marie Lu



I just love LOVE the nickname Jem for people named James!
11 Karou- Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
12 Maximum "Max" Ride- Maximum Ride Series by James Patterson
I've only read two novels on your list, but I loved their character's name. I like Howl's name because of the duality of it. Alina's name just sounds bad ass, like she will come and kick ass (very fitting) if need be :)

This is an awesome list-- I just added a bunch of books to my to-read list thanks to you!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT!
Oh I loved Poison Princess so much! I really like how Evangeline sounds both old and hip at the same time. It is a great name.
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny that I haven't read a single one of these books, but I own most of them! There are just too many books in the world to read. :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen the movie version of Howl's Moving Castle, and I loved it! Great picks.
I LOVE River and totally didn't think to put it on my list and same with Karou.
ReplyDeleteGreat list!My Top Ten
Alina & Cassel are definitely my faves from this!

I love Alana, Day, and Kaoru!! I totally forgot about those names thats I'm jealous that I didn't of it!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT Tt @ Never Ending Stories
Ooh, I love that name -- Varen! (I assume it's Raven all mixed up, but even so it's so cool!)
ReplyDeleteRiver and Blue...can't believe I forgot them. I love those names and they are so unusual. Great list! ~Pam

Love your choices so much. This is why I never do TTT (besides the fact that I do my new release post on Tuesday) it takes me forever to make lists and then I like everyone else's better!
ReplyDeleteJen @ YA Romantics
Nice list, I also picked Alina Starkov and Karou. Both awesome names from brilliant books.
