Top Ten Tuesday : Literary Characters and Figures I want to Name My Children After

-
Today's Top Ten Tuesday is Book Characters and Figures that I wish to name my Children after.

  1. Holden - From "The Catcher In the Rye" - I've always loved the name Holden and after Jake Gyllenhal played him , I think that boosted it's name points.
  2. Tristan - "Tristan and Isolode" - I love the name Tristan , it has an air of elegance around it and again James Franco played Tristan in the remake.
  3. Heathcliff or Heath for Short - "Wuthering Heights"- I've always loved the name Heath and Ive always had a thing for Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights.
  4. Scarlett - "Gone with the Wind"- I quite like the name Scarlett for a girl, it's a strong but feminine name.
  5. Temperance or Tempe (nickname) - "Kathy Reich's series - Bones" - I love this name as it's so unusual.
  6. Devon - After by Amy Efaw - This can be either a girl's or a boy's name -in the book it is a girl but I prefer it as a boy's name.
  7. Claudia - Ann M Martin's "The Babysitter's Club" - I love the name Claudia and the Claudia's that I have read in literature are always Creative.
  8. Ryan - Love Unscripted by Tina Reber - I love the name Ryan for a boy , has always been on my list.
  9. Lucas - "Waking the witch" Kelley Armstrong  and features in her Otherworld series.- Another favourite guy name of mine.
  10. Jesse- "The Mediator series " Meg Cabot - To conclude , I also have always liked the name Jesse and in the Mediator ,he was a HOT Cowboy ghost but none the less - a cute one.

    Jesse also works good for girls, too, though usually that's spelled Jessie and is short for Jessica.

    We share Holden, and Scarlett is probably a runner up for me- such a great character and a cool name, but it's been ruined for me by ditsy Scarlett Johansson.
    I also LOVE the name Jesse. I would've liked to give that one to my son, but I couldn't get my husband on board. Tristan is a good one, too. Nice list!

    I love that you chose a BBC character, and Claudia is a good name. My favorite babysitter was always Mary Anne.

    Great set of names! I think Heath(cliff) and Holden would make wonderful names from twin brothers ;). And I just watched Bones tonight -- really like Temperance.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
