I think the Harry Potter characters all have fabulous names. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI love all those names too! Even 3 of them made it on my list too!! I love when authors do unique names that stand out so much that you remember them well after you are finished with the book!

Goodness I just love Cricket Bell!!!!
ReplyDeleteEtienne is such a lovely name. I was in Paris recently and fell in love with that name. It is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteGreat list. My TTT
I have Cricket on my list too. I thought about putting Etienne, but Cricket is a little more unusual. Love Katniss, Hazel, and Luna! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love Luna too. She was such an awesome character.

ReplyDeleteCricket is quite unique!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Top 10
I keep seeing Cricket Bell everywhere, I don't know if it's one of those names I would get if I read the book. But to me Cricket is a sport and sounds kind of strange as something you would name your child.Maybe it's just me. My STS.
