Not favorite character, favorite character name.
There are countless great characters in literature. Which of them have the best names?
Ishmael? Humbert Humbert? Bilbo Baggins? Or, heck, take your pick from the incredible character names in the Harry Potter universe. Severus Snape? Dolores Umbrage?
For me personally, I’m going with Severus Snape. What about you?
Uriah Heep.
Puddleglum the Marshwiggle.
Endeavour Morse.
"Thursday Next," followed by "Ludovic Speed"
Mr. Wednesday
I liked the name of the protagonist in du Maurier's Rebecca.
I was going to go with Snape, but then I read the comments. I have to second Uriah Heap!
And then Monica reminded me of Thursday Next. In the Thursday Next books, Uriah Hope got caught by a misspelling virus and was transformed into Uriah Heap.
Yossarian, Rabo Karabekian and Holden Caulfield.
Atticus Finch!
Oh, I love the Thursday Next series! I always think of Dickens' characters because their names usually matched their personalities — Edmund Sparkler, Miss Flite, Guppy.
Scout
Jemima Puddleduck is good, as is Rosto the Piper. Or else Jayne Cobb, if I'm allowed to choose a television character.
I didn't get in first with Atticus Finch – rats 😉
My second favourite name is Mr Ignatius Niggle – "Iggy" – from Measles and the Mallockee by Ian Ogilvy
Nymphadora Tonks
Wednesday Adams
Bilbo Baggins
Dr. Faustus
Betsy Trotwood
Heathcliff
Salazar Sytherine
Oliver Twist.
