Top Ten Tuesday: Best Character Names


Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

The topic for this week is: Best Character Names.

I have to admit that I've named some of my animals after a few of these characters. Have you ever named a pet after a book character?

    Winter is a cute name, not something I would ever think to name a character though.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

    I do love the name Rowena - and I think a lot of that has to do with Supernatural. :)
