Top Ten Tuesday: Character Names

Happy Tuesday! This week’s prompt is all about character names. While we’re given free reign to interpret as we wish, I decided to just do a general list of names that I liked from books I’ve read regardless of genre.

Character names, I think, are just as important in a book as the setting or plot. At least when it comes to fantasy or sci-fi.

The Character Names

Mercedes ‘Mercy’ Thompson from the Mercy Thompson series

Serendipity “Pity” Jones from Gunslinger Girl

Jazz Bashara from Artemis

Cletus Winston from Beard Science

Mim Malone from Mosquitoland

Elka from The Wolf Road

Griffin Shipley from Bittersweet

Myfanwy Thomas from The Rook

Looks like I just found eight names that I really liked/ remember well after I finished reading the book. I also like that I was able to find books/ names in more than one genre.

What are some of your favorite names?
