Friday Fives | Character or Author Names

I started #FridayFavorites back when I started up the blog again and wanted to make sure I kept at least one regular post a week. This was, of course, before I knew there were others out there. But I decided to keep it, especially since I have the whole year planned out. If anyone wants to join me, the list for future topics can be found here.

Today’s topic features some of my favorite characters names. For today, these character names are ones that I’m considering for a future pet! It’s normal to have a list of names for future pets, right?

Manon Blackbeak – for those who don’t know about Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass series, Manon Blackbeak is one of the characters that arrives in the 3rd book of the series. She is a half Ironteeth, half Crochan witch and she is a freakin badass! I love her and think having a kitty named after her would just be perfect.

Everyone has at least one Lord of the Rings name in their pocket for future pet or child’s name, right? I mean a loyal puppy named Gandalf would be just adorable.

I’ve wanted to own an orange cat and name her Crookshanks since reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Cliche? Probably. Do I care? Nope. This one has been super constant!

Bronte – I think this one could go for either a cat or dog! But the dog would have to be one who’s really calm, not a hyperactive puppy.

Sherlock (or Moriarty) – Also names that I would use for either a kitty or puppy. I just would find it adorable…although, if I did get a pet named Sherlock, I feel like I’d have to get another one named Watson.

Honorable Mention: Ada Lovelace, okay, yes Ada is not a character or author, so I’m breaking my own rules. But, she is the daughter of Lord Byron who is a writer, which is why she’s getting an honorable mention. I’d love to name a little gray and feisty kitty Ada Lovelace.

High-five, Ada!

Happy Reading Darlings!
