Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Fictional Character Names

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish that now has a new home at That Artsy Reader Girl.

This was an interesting topic to explore because it gave me a chance to think about my favorite characters, their names and why I like them. I have yet to figure out if I like a name because of the character or because of the way it sounds or if it’s just a feeling. But I still managed to compile the below list (in no particular order) of some of the very captivating fictional names that I have encountered till now.

I think this name perfectly fits her character. It is powerful, badass and aptly suited for my favorite fire breathing bitch queen.

Reviews: Throne of Glass / Crown of Midnight / Heir of Fire / Queen of Shadows

Hermione Granger

I definitely like this name because it belongs to my favorite female fictional character ever and I really wish she was my best friend.

I love this name so much that if I didn’t have a lot of family and cultural obligations, I would name my future daughter Alina.

Reviews: Shadow and Bone / Siege and Storm / Ruin and Rising

Alaric Saltzman

Many of the characters in this show have amazing names but this one has always intrigued me. Alaric just sounds so unique.

---

Jaxon Tyrus Rafferty

I just seem to love these long names. Rafe may be the farmer Lia loves but the King of Dalbreck definitely deserves this awesome name.

Reviews: Kiss of Deception / Heart of Betrayal / Beauty of Darkness

---

Shara Komayd

This might be a case of loving the name because of the strong willed, intelligent and compassionate woman that is Shara.

Reviews: City of Stairs / City of Blades / City of Miracles

---

Legolas

Might be the smallest name on this list but it just fits my favorite Elf and the fastest archer I’ve ever seen on screen…. and also Orlando Bloom 💖💖💖

---

Misha Samarin

Whether it’s the name of an angsty brooding Russian hockey player/coach or a certain Bollywood actor’s daughter, I just think Misha is such a cute sounding name.

---

Shahrzad al Khayzuran

This name sounds as powerful as the character who bears it and needs no further explanation.

Reviews: The Wrath and the Dawn / The Rose and the Dagger

Alexander Gideon Lightwood

Alexander is a name already powerful in it’s own right but in the context of Shadowhunters, I just ❤❤❤ the way Magnus calls him by his full name even when everyone else just refers to him as Alec.
