Names of All Kinds Are Encouraged II...

[natural]

Hi Berries,

::Not Sure Why the Original Thread was Closed, but here is a New One. Really would like to keep this going for while.::

I am not having much luck with my previous threads, so I was wondering if you can tell me your favorite character's name or a name that you have found bewitching, romantic, whimsical, so-bad-that-it's-good, villainous, etc.

Perhaps a character from any book[s] you have previously read, a movie, play, your imagination, or something you might have read or heard through passing. (If you do not mind, can you tell me where the name might have come from?)

Temperance: Bones
Astrid: Fringe
Lennox: Melissa & Joey
Dean: Supernatural
Acheron: Acheron
Christian Grey: The 50 Shades of Grey
Lysander, Oberon/Auberon, & Titania: A Midnight Summer's Dream
Maleficent: Sleeping Beauty
Draco: Harry Potter Series
etc...

Just as the title suggest: Names of All kinds are encouraged--For boys or girls...

Lavinia: Titus Andronicus and Johnny Tremaine
Edmond: Count of Monte Cristo
Sookie: Witches of Eastwich and True Blood
Aurora: Sleeping Beauty (my first love of a name)

Lyra Belacqua from His Dark Materials
Rowena Ravenclaw from Harry Potter and really most of her names are genius
a lot of the sideline characters from Anne of Green Gables--Cordelia, Priscilla, Jane, Ruby
Brita from Princess Academy
Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice and again most of her names are fantastic
Fiona from The Tea Rose (lots of great Irish names in this book)
Jude from Jude the Obscure

does the Bible count? Seriously hundreds of amazingly fantastic names
