Six for Sunday – Characters I’d Name My Kid After

I would be remiss if I didn’t put Jean Valjean as my first choice. I named my blog after a song from the musical, and I have a tattoo with Valjean’s name and prison number. In fact, I have several Les Miserables tattoos! This is by far the most moving book and play I have ever seen, and it helped me through some tough times.

Jean Valjean represents all that is good, loving, and selfless. Love him!

My second daughter’s name is actually Jane!

I love Pride and Prejudice, and I love Jane Austen.

Jane Bennet is kind and sincere, and she never has a bad word for anyone. I admire her inner beauty and her willingness to see the good in everyone.

June is a strong, smart, and brave protagonist. She has a fierce loyalty to her family and a willingness to fight for social justice.

She is also very determined. She constantly fights to find and expose the truth.

I think she has so many admirable qualities, and I love her name.

There are so many characters in Harry Potter that I adore – Hermione, Ron, Hedwig, Harry Dumbledore, Tonks, McGonagall, but Molly Weasley is a queen!

Fiercly protective of those she loves, smart, funny, and sensitive, Molly Weasley is the kind of mom I want to be.

I would be proud to name my kid after this fierce mama bear!

This is a fabulous series by Jannifer Anne Davis if you like YA fantasy. Rema, the protagonist, is a survivor. She witness terrible tragedy, and suffers terribly at the hands of people more powerful than her. But she is a strong and resilient young woman who never gives up. Her characters grows and changes a ton throughout this series, but Rema always stays true to herself.

This list wouldn’t be complete without my girl Katniss.

I must have read this series twenty times. I liked it so much that I bought a classroom set so that I could teach it! lol

I love Katniss. She is smart, cunning, brave, loyal, and caring. She is a force to be reckoned with!
