Welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday!

Today’s all about bookish names and since I am currently debating whether or not to get a dog (but really, is there any debate?), I figured I’d go with bookish pet names. These are some of my thoughts, feel free to hit me up with your suggestions as well!

Nox (Harry Potter, Throne of Glass)

I’ve always loved this name, and think it would be perfect for a black cat or dog.

Shiro (Red Winter)

My favorite kitsune has the most beautiful name, which means white in Japanese, so perfect for a white-haired dog or cat.

Yumei (Red Winter)

Why not use the name of the Prince of Shadows for a pet?

Jem (The Infernal Devices)

I love Jem and think he has a perfect name for a pet as well.

Percy (Percy Jackson)

For those water-loving dogs.

Azriel (A Court of Thorns and Roses series)

Azriel seems like more of a cat-name (probably because of the Smurfs), but could be used for dogs too, right?

Dante (Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe)

For those happy, smiley dogs.

Sansa (A Song of ice and fire)

I love the name Sansa for the more elegant-looking dogs.

Blue (Simon vs, The Raven Boys)

Gotta keep some of my favorite series with me at all times.

Deuce (Enclave trilogy)

Something about Deuce just sounds so badass for a dog.

Loki (Trylle trilogy)

For those mischievous dogs!

WHAT ARE SOME Bookish pet names you love?

    Ooh you’re getting a dog? 🙂

    I like Shiro- cool name! Sansa would definitely fit a more elegant looking dog, for sure, and I like Blue as well…

      Not right now, but hopefully in a few months 🙂 Never too early to start thinking of names, right? 😉

    CUTE!! I love Jem, but that might be because of Jem & the Holograms. Also, Nox is fun and I totally didn’t even think of Harry Potter at first when I saw it.

      I don’t know Jem & the Holograms, but I love the name so I’ll have to check them out!

    Hah I did pets too! But we share none so that is cool. 😀 More ideas for pet names. I do like the idea of Sansa for a more regal looking dog.

    Nice list! Okay, so I can imagine Shiro as a dog name. I actually heard about this name many times. But Sansa? Well, I am laughing and imagining a dog with that name. But yeah.. it would be a nice one 🙂

      Haha yeah I can just imagine a super elegant dog like an Afghan greyhound with a name like Sansa 🙂

    Aw, I love the idea of a dog named Blue (and I love both those books!) A friend of mine has a dog named Percy — after Percy Jackson. 🙂

    Excellent twist on the topic! I had a Maine Coon cat that was named Buddy but, about four days after we adopted him, I started calling him Mister after Harry Dresden’s overly large cat. It fit him a little TOO well.

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!

    Percy would be a great dog name! I feel like Sansa is maybe more of a cat, but perhaps that’s just me.

      Percy is definitely one of my favorite dog names 🙂 Sansa could definitely work for a cat too, maybe even better.

    My vote is for Nox 🙂 Omg, when (not if-when!!) you get a new dog please share photos!!

      Thanks, I love Nox too 🙂 It won’t be for right away, but when I do get a dog I’ll definitely share so many photos, haha 🙂

    Shiro is such an adorable name. I wish I had known it when I named my white-cat Gizmo two years ago (although, I love the name Gizmo).

      Gizmo is such a cute name too though! I love it 🙂
