Ya! Finally a Scout! I also chose Lisbeth. Gage give me shivers just thinking about him... Nice list!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do like Charlotte! It's both elegant and homespun.
ReplyDeleteAww I like the name Gage
ReplyDeleteI like Charlotte, but maybe as a middle name. I like Lisbeth as well.
ReplyDeleteHomespun! :) Cheeky.
ReplyDeleteI love Scout and Lisbeth
ReplyDeleteYou're the first Scout I've seen! I was beginning to forget everyone forgot she was there!
ReplyDeleteAh, Gage! How could I have forgotten? I loved that book and that name as a teen.
ReplyDeleteReading Lark's Top 10
I love that you mentioned Harry :)
ReplyDeleteI love Scout, too. I had it on a list of names for kids when I was little. Thanks for hopping by.
ReplyDeleteI like Lyra and Scout as well, just got done listening to To Kill a Mockingbird. I love this topic for a blog post,t oo bad I'm a couple years late in seeing this. I have 3 sons already so it'd hard thinking of boys book characters that I'd name. But for girls, I like the name Rue from the Hunger Games, Liesel from the Book Thief and although I didn't yet finish the book Elisa from The Girl of Fire and Thorns. For boys, I like Atticus from To Kill a Mockingbird for the kind-hearted, patient and open-minded man and father that he is and Oscar, the bright, precocious boy from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Not quite 10 but I've used up 3 of my favorite book-worthy names already.
ReplyDeleteoooh Nicholas and Perenelle are pretty cool names too from the Alchemyst.
ReplyDeleteTanya, I enjoyed revisiting this with you! You made me smile! Those are really great names. :)
