Honestly, I’ve given it tons of thought and I’d pick something from a book that stood out in my mind. Personally, for a girl, the name Mayfair pops for me. For a boy, the name Thorne.

You guys are awesome all of them are great names! I really like Dickens, Bram, Darcy, and Reacher so far! Keep em coming
Pick a favorite author! Like Hemi (for Hemingway) or King (for Stephen King) something like that. Or pick a beloved character’s name.

Strider immediately came to mind after seeing his pic (from LOTR)
Rhyme, Verse,Cover,Title,Plot,Mystery…soooo many options.

I have a friend (who lives in Mississippi) with a cat named Boo Radley.

Demi (from Little Women), or Pippin, and then Pip for short. Jude, Bailey, Rain (From Rain Reign by Ann M. Martin), Watson. Pollux and Orion showed up on a list I googled from Harry Potter because I was curious, and those two are from astronomy in addition to being book-ish. 🙂 Or Diago, just short for Santiago, from the Alchemist.
