This week's topic is: Top Ten Character Names I Love/ Top Ten Unusual Character Names
*in no particular order
1. PIETR
from 13 to Life series by Shannon Delany
Just liked the unique spelling!
2. JANCO
Study/Glass trilogies by Maria V. Snyder
Such a unique and different name! And what a character!
3. XANDRA
Immortal Empire series by Kate Locke
Another name that's just awesome!
4. ASH
Iron Fey Chronicles by Julie Kagawa
Such a short name, yet so powerful too!
5. MAC
Fever series by Karen Marie Moning
Continuing with short names, love a powerful name for the heroine too!
6. YELENA
Study/Glass trilogies by Maria V. Snyder
Yelena was another cool name that I had never heard of before!
7. CHARLEY
Charley Davidson series by Darynda Jones
Guess I like the names that can be guy or girl but sometimes more guy for the heroine's name! Charley is freaking awesome!
8. FAYTHE
Shifters series by Rachel Vincent
Guess it's moreso the spelling that I like of Faythe's name! She was quite the character too. Difficult to like, but in the end I did like her!
9. KISTEN
Hollows series by Kim Harrison
Kisten was such an awesome name and character! Oh how I miss you still!
10. FOUR
Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth
True, it's not his real name and his real name is pretty cool too. But how hot is it to be named such a small number because that's how many fears you have?!
I must say that I really like the name Xandra. My name is Sandra, but Xandra sounds just a little more modern and a little bit more cooler than Sandra. Wonderful list :3

Interesting teaser! Wonder what the noises are?
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great mix of names there. I particularly like the name Yelena!
Here's my teaser!
Great teaser! I have the first three instalments in The Gardella Vampire Chronicles, I just have to find the time to read them... Sigh, so little time, so many books!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my TT! :)
Kisten - now that's an interesting one! Haven't read that series, but it sounds like it's one I might like to pick up! Thanks for visiting my TTT!
