These have all ended
up being girls names but I was racking my brain for ages for the boys names I
like I didn't think I could do that list justice. So what follows is a list of
my favorite female character names!
1. Auraya - Light (Age of Five by Trudi Canavan)
2. Eowyn – Joy (The Two Tower by J.R.R.Tolkien
3. Luna – Moon (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoneix by J.K Rowling)
I love the character of Luna Lovegood in
Harry Potter and I think her name suits her so well. Its got the airy fairy
quality she posses right there in her name.
4. Jubilee – Celebration (X-Men Comics by Stan Lee)
5. Arya – Truthful (Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini)
This character suits her name so well especially
once I found out the meaning. I love that Paolini managed to write sucha complex woman and didn’t make her weak or
unassuming but made her a powerhouse as well as beautiful!
6. Matilda –Strength (Matlida by Roald Dahl)
What a lovely story with a beautiful name.
I love the story of Matilda and her journey throughout the book. I love that
she is a bookworm and that the story ends with her getting the love she
deserves. I think her name meaning is very apt.
7. Meggie – Pearl (Inkheart by Cornelia Funke)
I really like these stories and the
character of Meggie is so cool and feisty. I like the normalcy of her name in
this fantasy series. In can be easy in fantasy fiction to think the weirder the
better so it’s nice to have such a normal name.
8. Marillia – Small Brook (Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery)
I am a huge fan of the Anne for Green
Gables series that my mum encouraged me to read and I love the character of
Marillia Cuthbert. I love the warmth she has under her layers of severity and I
love the way she loves Anne. I think the name meaning is sweet considering
where they lived and I also think it suits the character to a T.
9. Ariel – Lioness of God (Disney’s The Little Mermaid)
In Hans Christian Anderson’s fairy tale of
The Little Mermaid the character is unnamed (her fate is also much worse that
Disney portray) But I love the name Ariel. I love the way it is pronounced in
the film by Triton and I think that it’s a pretty powerful name meaning.
