Top Ten Tuesday (10-9-12)


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Each week, 
they post a different topic, and you get to create your own top ten list. So, this week's 
topic is:


Characters (And Literary Figures) That I'd Name My Children After
(and since it's a rewind week, I will also include names for my pets. Because there is no way that I would give a child some of these names, but they are cute for dogs!)

1) Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird - I have always wanted to name a dog after Atticus just because I think it's such a cute name. 

2) Charlotte Bronte (Jane Eyre) - I have always loved the name Charlotte and it's such a classic name. And, this is one of my favorite books ever!

3) Jane from Jane Eyre - Jane is probably my favorite female character of all time. She's strong and doesn't depend on anyone for anything. I think Jane would make a great middle name for a girl.

4) Celia from The Night Circus - I loved this book and Celia is just a perfect name for a girl. It's old fashioned yet current at the same time. 

5) Harper Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird) - I love the name Harper for a girl! I just think it's a name that is old-fashioned and unique at the same time.

6) Harry from Harry Potter - out of all the characters, I would just like to have one dog named Harry. Or Ron ... or Hagrid.

7) Poppy from I've Got Your Number - I just think this is fun, cute name! And how can you not smile when you say it?!?

8) Maisie Dobbs from the Maisie Dobbs series - I just love this name for a dog, especially an English breed so it would fit perfectly.

That's all I could think of for this week! So, what rewind topic did you choose? Let me know!

  2. Great picks! My husband has been trying to convince me that Hermione or Minerva would be great names for a girl. I love Harry Potter just as much as he does, but I'm so not naming my kid either of those!

  3. I almost did this one...but I wouldn't have been able to keep it to 10. :D

    I've always liked Charlotte for a middle name, but that was also my grandmother's name.

  6. I love Charlotte and Jane both. Jane is so underrated as a name.
