It’s time for another Top 10 Tuesday!!! For those of you who don’t know, Top 10 Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the folks over at The Broke and the Bookish!

The theme this week asked us to choose ten characters that we would name our children/pets/etc. after. Now, I’ve always mentioned that if I were to ever have kids, I would want four boys. I know it’s uncontrollable and I would be equally as happy with girls, but I just wanted to give you all a heads up as to why there are so many boy names on this list. However, I have added a few girl names as well. Honestly, I’d be the type of parent to mix up the names a bit and give typical boys names to girls and vise versa so these names really could be used for either.

Okay, I’m done rambling now…here are ten characters that I would name my hypothetical future children after!

---

Jude (A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara)

I’ve always liked the name Jude, but after reading A Little Life, I have fallen in love with it even more. Jude was such a beautiful person, whether he realized it or not and the name now means a lot more to me than it did before reading this novel.

---

Rhys (A Court Of Mist & Fury by Sarah J. Maas)

I don’t know if I would go as far as naming my child the full name Rhysand, but I do love the short form of Rhys and I especially love how it is spelled within the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. Rhys has quite quickly become one of my favoruite characters of all time and I would be happy to name my future child after him.

---

Lilah (A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab)

Let’s face it. Lilah is a badass. She is definitely a character that is inspiring and that I hope my future children would look up to. Lilah has never been a name on my radar before, but after reading the A Darker Shade of Magic series, it is now definitely one of my favourites.

---

Scorpius (Harry Potter & The Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling)

I mean honestly, how amazing is this name? I would totally name my child Scorpius. It sounds so badass, even if Scorpius as a character is the most cinnamon roll that ever cinnamon rolled.

---

Lucien (A Court of Thorns & Roses by Sarah J. Maas)

Lucien, or even Lucius, has been a name on my radar for a while now. However, after reading A Court Of Thorns and Roses, the name Lucien stood out to me even more. Lucien still remains to be one of my favourite characters and I hope it stays that way throughout the series. Especially because I love the name so much.

---

Cassidy (Preacher by Garth Ennis & Steve Dillon)

Here’s a name that I might use non-traditionally. Cassidy is a male character within the Preacher series. Although Cassidy is technically his last name, I think I would use it as a first name for a boy, however, it is equally as nice a name for a girl.

---

Archie (Archie by Mark Waid)

How cute is the name Archie. I mean seriously. It works as an adorable baby name and it transitions into a perfect name for an adult as well. I’ve been reading the Archie comics ever since I was a kid and to this day if I ever hear of someone with the name Archie I instantly think of this character.

---

Gabriel (Half Bad)

Gabriel is definitely one of my favourite characters from the Half Bad series. I also love that he pronounces is Gah-BREE-elle rather than GAY-bree-ill. Although, either pronunciation is perfect.

---

Nimona (Nimona by Noelle Stevenson)

I love how unconventional the name Nimona is. Also, the character Nimona is amazing, she’s funny and tough and just an all around awesome character.

---

Mattimeo (Redwall by Brian Jacques)

I remember Redwall always being on Teletoon at night when I was a kid. I never really got too into it, but I remember hearing the name Mattimeo and it stuck with me ever since. I love that it sounds like Matteo, but is just slightly different enough that it’s unique.
