I love Rainbow Rowell's name. And I totally agree that it should be a character name! ^_^ Here's my Top Ten: http://thegirlmeetsbooks.wordpress.com/2013/10/22/top-ten-tuesday-character-names-i-love/
ReplyDeleteIf I'd have read Eleanor and Park when I wrote my list, I'd have added both of those- such wonderful names! I love the fact that there's a character called Hot Pie in Game of Thrones! That's just... that's excellent.
ReplyDeleteHot Pie! Nice. And I agree, Rainbow Rowell should be a character name. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Rainbow Rowell is certainly a standout name isn't it?
ReplyDeleteLol yes, Hot Pie is certainly a first. And I agree, Rainbow Rowell definitely is unique and would be a cool character name.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading Fangirl now. I agree, Rainbow's name should definitely make a top ten list. I wonder if that is her real name? Encyclopedia Brown and Scrooge are both great choices as well!!
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT: http://jacquesbooknook.blogspot.com/2013/10/top-ten-tuesday-favorite-character-names.html
HOT PIE! So awesome. Rainbow Rowell is a pretty amazing name, I agree! (And I just met her at a signing a couple of days ago, and she was so funny and lovely in person...) Great list! I love that you included Augustus Gloop and Beezus too!
