Top Ten Nine Unique Character Names in Books
1. Hermione - When I read the Harry Potter series for the first time over a decade ago, I was at a loss as to how to pronounce her name - then in book 4, Viktor Krum gets a lesson after calling her herm-o-ninny - I think that one suits her, haha.
2. Katniss - I love plant/flower names in general, I love how creative you can be with them. I HATE when Gale calls her catnip. Its just dumb. -___-
3. Rhine (from the Chemical Garden Trilogy) - I love this name and spent a few days asking Sean, "Can we name our future daughter Rhine?" (I do this every time I see a unique name I like... he didn't like Rhine :( Boooo! )
4. Lucero-Elisa ne Riqueza de Vega (From the Girl of Fire and Thorns) - Um... just Elisa for short. Its a pretty cool name and I love the entire spanish culture that Rae Carson developed. Sean probably won't let me name our future daughter Lucero-Elisa either though.
5. Magnus Bane (Mortal Instruments) - A bad as name if there ever was one, man. It's a name that commands respect, which is fitting because he is a guy that commands respect. Love him!
6. Ridley (Beautiful Creatures) - Her actual character is kind of crazy, but its a unique name... take a wild guess if I asked Sean about this name or not :)
7. Cinder/Scarlet/Crescent Moon (Lunar Chronicles) - Love Meyer's little play on words here with each of her characters.
8. Qetsiyah (this is not from a book but from a show that came from a book, Vampire Diaries. Pronounced Ket-sia) I love it, I just hate the way its spelled. I begged Sean to let me name our future child Ketsia but he says it sounds ancient. I say, thats why I like it. Geez. I'll never win.
9. Daenerys Targaryen (Game of Thrones) - all I have to say it that Sean said YES to this name (probably because he thinks Dani is hot, but whatever. So do I).
