TTT: Top Ten Best Character Names In Fantasy

Posted May 22, 2018 by Wendy in Top Ten Tuesday / 10 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme now hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl!

I’ve always wondered how authors come up with unique names in the fantasy genre! I decided to narrow this TTT topic of top character names down to names in fantasy books because there are just so many interesting names when it comes to fantasy! Here are some of my favorites!

Alosa: Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

Froi: Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta

Quintana: Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta

Karou: Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

Lazlo: Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor

Kiaran: The Falconer by Elizabeth May

Safiya: Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

Iolanthe: The Burning Sky by Sherry Thomas

Kestrel: The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkowski

Katsa: Graceling by Kristin Cashore

What do you think of these names? What are some of your favorite names in both fantasy or other fiction?

  1. Nice list, though I don’t think I can pronounce any of these perfectly except Safiya πŸ˜€ though I love unique names, sometimes I really hate fantasy authors for creating such difficult names. I don’t know how they get these ideas πŸ˜€
