Fancy Day (Thomas Hardy's Under the Greenwood Tree)
Hardy’s great at names. As soon as I saw the thread I thought of Return of the Native, whose principals include Clem Yeobright, Diggory Venn, and Eustacia Vye.
Yeah, I read Return of the Native in highschool and fell madly in love with Eustacia, pathetically. What a fate
Bathsheba Everdeen from Madding Crowd comes to mind
Hiro
Donkey Hot
Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov
Genghis Cohen
Doesn't matter, as long as it's 3+ syllables.
General Woundwort
Idk why but i really like Kaspar Allmayer. It just sounds nice to say out loud.
I think some people in this thread are confusing “favourite character names” with “favourite characters’ names”. If you like a character it makes you like the name, though, so it’s a bit tricky.
A few that come to mind:
— Uncle Pumblechook
Grotesque but comfy. (The character isn't very nice so it's slightly misleading.)
— Caddy Compson
"Caddy" sounds nice. Also she's officially Candace but only her mother calls her that, which tells you a lot about her mother.
— Titus Groan
Innocent appealing first name dragged down by ponderous surname, which tells you the whole plot.
— Vesper Lynd
Ian Fleming has lots of cool slightly-exotic names for his girls.
— Bilbo Baggins
Some JRRT names are a bit obvious but most are good. Galadriel, Arwen, Frodo, Gandalf.
— Imogen
From Cymbeline. A case of "super-appealing character makes the name appealing", I guess.
— Sherlock Holmes
See above.
Rev. Wicks Cherrycoke, hands down
Merry Brandybuck
if you haven't read the appendices i want you to know that actually his Westron (unanglicised) name is Kalimac Brandagamba. all the other guys' names are equally peculiar lol
Ripred
Sumire, Gaspery, Miller, Kassad
Jim Troeltsche
