The topic was the top ten literary characters that I would name my children after, if (of course) I had children. Here's my list of ten, not in any particular order:
1. Rissa (female) or Tregare (male), from F.M. Busby's series
.2. John Galt from Rand's Atlas Shrugged
.3. Markasset (male) from the Gandalara Cycle by Garrett and Heydron.
4. Dream or Morpheus (male) or Delirium (female) from the Sandman mythology
by Gaiman.5. Éomer (male) or Éowyn (female) from the Lord of the Rings
mythology.6. Caspian from the Narnian mythology
.7. Maxim from Du Maurier's Rebecca
.8. Mina from Stoker's Dracula
.9. Margolotta or Kaos from Pratchett's Discworld universe.
10. Severus from the J.K. Rowling Potterverse
.Good thing we never had kids, huh?
Maxim is great!
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I thought very seriously about naming one of my girls Linnet after the Green Knowe books, but that wouldn't have been a good idea.
ReplyDeleteOne of our favorite names, eh, Mom?!
ReplyDeleteJean: I know a Lynette, but obviously spelled differently. I've never read that series, but I just looked it up. I'm going to see if our library has it.
excellent

I considered writing "Rohan", but that one was already taken! :P
