Top Ten Tuesday: Book Character Names

 This week's topic is all about book character names - and which ones you'd use for pet names. We're dog people in this house, so all the names I'm choosing would be for dogs.

Ranger from Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series

Castle from the show Castle. Richard Castle really is ruggedly handsome.

Ghost from Game of Thrones

Arya from Game of Thrones

Gilbert from Anne of Green Gables

Manon from Throne of Glass

Darcy after Fitzwilliam Darcy (which is the namesake of Emma's brother)

Emma after Emma Woodhouse. She has the stink eye and lady qualities to live up to her name!

Cabot is serendipitously named after one of my favorite authors. (He was really named after a town in Vermont and the cheese.)

Once we heard my boss (same puppy family) named her dog Darcy, we thought more Austen names:

Jane

Knightley

Lizzie

But we finally settled on Emma
