THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS

(Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd in 'Lord of the Rings')
It is once again that time of the year and the holidays season has begun. This also means the run down of the Twelve Days of Christmas. These posts are festive in nature but also book related which is the most fun! I love this time of the year, with all the lights, Rudolf and his red nose and eggnog lattes (yum). Now lets get to this years topic and it is... Unforgettable Character Names. This list is in no particular order however I do love all the names on this list. They made it because they are unique, well suited to their characters and of course "Unforgettable". So enjoy and let the fun begin:)
3 The Hobbits (Frodo Baggins, Samwise 'Sam' Gamgee, Peregrin 'Pippin' Took & Meriadoc 'Merry' Brandybuck) from Lord of the Rings
4 Elphaba Thropp from Wicked (The Life & Times of the Wicked Witch of the West)
5 Oompa Loompas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Liselotte (Liesl) Vitzliputzli from Fifth Business
7 Severus Snape from Harry Potter series
8 Atticus Finch from To Kill A Mockingbird
9 Tinker Bell from Peter Pan
10 Septimus Heap from Septimus Heap series
11 Scarlet O'Hara from Gone With The Wind
12 Philip Pirrip from Great Expectations
I must have seen this film series a million times and I never tire of them. Tolkien had an extensive imagination building a world the we all fell in love with and characters as rare and unique as their names.

  1. I really love your annual xmas series! You have lots of great choices so far but for me, Meriadoc Brandybuck is the best :) I hate that they shorten it to "Merry".

  2. Thanks!! I look forward to making these posts every year. I agree with you about Merrys name change. The original sounds so much more awesome. Thanks for stopping by!
