Top Character Names Used in Books
This week’s #TopTenTuesday catergory is best character names! I wasn’t sure how I wanted to go about this list but have decided to do 5 females and 5 males names! Also, i wanted to thank That Artsy Reader Girl for hosting these topics every week!
Female Names
- Marin from We Are Okay by Nina LaCour
- Beckah from A History of Glitter and Blood by Hannah Moskowitz
- Eelyn from Sky in the Deep by Adrienne Young
- Emelina from Ruined by Amy Tintera
- Jasminda from Song of Blood and Stone by L. Penelope
Male Names
- Jasper from Twilight by Stephenie Meyers
- Levi from Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody
- Corwin from Onyx and Ivory by Mindee Arnett
- Xanthus from Blood and Sand by C.W. Wyk
- Eldon from As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti
So what names would you have chosen?
Books In Bloom
I'm an avid reader and love most all books, but my favorite genres tend to be mystery, adventure, science fiction and classics. Genres I tend to shy away from include romance, contemporary fiction and chick lit. If I’m not actually reading books, I’m probably at work shelving them at my local library.

Some very unusual names on your list! 🙂 I love MarIn
Books In Bloom
Thanks! I really like Marin too. I’m kind of partial to names beginning with M! 😀

I love Jasminda – great name! I can’t wait to read Ace of Shades…I just can’t believe Twilight is the only book on your Top 10 that I’ve read 🙈
Books In Bloom
I am really excited about Ace of Shades too. It sounds really good. & yes, Twilight is a classic! 🙂

Nice list, though I loved all the girl names 😀 Emelina and Marin are definitely my favourite.

Yes, i was really happy to find some great girls names. I haven’t read any of these books yet though, so hopefully they will be great stories too!

I love both Jasper and Levi! And as an odd sort of aside, my uncle’s middle name is Eldon. LOL

Hah, thanks! And this is the first time I’ve ever heard it outside of my grandmother’s old stories about him. Hahaha.
Books In Bloom
Wow, that’s great that it brings up some interesting old family stories! 😀

My list ended up being entirely girls names, but I like that you did a split!

Thanks. I could have honestly done all girl names but i found a few cool boy names so i decided to split it. 😀

Honestly I think Jasper is my favorite character in the Twilight series.
