Top Ten Tuesday: Hopeless Crushes

~The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.~

Happy Tuesday. I was awaken early this morning, because Boyfriend had to go to work and I feel bad if I stay asleep while he gets ready for work. I don't get to spend much time with him, so I like to arise from the depth of my slumber to hang out with him. He made some coffee and insisted I drink some (I must have looked like death). I did...and now I'm awake. Gah! Oh well. So I shall do this week's TTT and then share a movie review either later today or tomorrow. We shall see.

Anyways...this week the topic is: fictional hopeless crushes. There are many. I know it's suppose to be a "book" meme, but there is one on my list that comes from an anime/manga that I'll be sharing. He's new and I think He should be included. I'll try to add some variety to this list too since I did a similar post a while back about my fictional "boyfriends". To check that post out click HERE. I will also add pictures of what I think they look like or what they look like (like the manga/anime one):

~There is no order to this list!~

----Rei from 'Fist of the North Star' 

----Draco Malfoy from 'Harry Potter' series.

-----Jasper Tudor from 'The Red Queen'

----Haun from 'The Seducation of the Phoenix'

----Zhang Jin from 'The Seduction of the Phoenix' 

----White Man's Dog/Fools Crow from 'Fools Crow'

him as an older adult. 

----Grim from 'To Tame A Highland Warrior'

----Captain Alex Reid from 'The Betrayal of the Blood Lily'

----Miles Dorrington from The Pink Carnation Series

----Arius the Barbarian from 'Mistress of Rome' 

Who are you all hopeless crushing on in the fictional world?

Top Ten Tuesday: Names

                                   ~The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.~

Since I want to delay doing my International Relations essay about Syria, I shall do this post. ^.^ This week's  I will be sharing my top ten favorite character names I would name my kids if my future hubby would allow it. Hehehe. There is no order to my list.

~Iago. The devilishly complex character from Othello by William Shakespeare. I just LOVE the character and the name has always been really awesome....at least too me....

~Geoff. I know its suppose to be pronounced 'Jeff', but I like to pronounce it 'Ge-off' and that is how I would pronounce my "kid's" name. However, this name is from The Deception of the Emerald Ring by Lauren Willig.

~Marianne. Even though I loaaaathed the character from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, I LOVE the name.

~Irwin Wade. That would be the first name and middle name. I just LOVE the ring of it...this name comes from one of my favorite war fictional characters ever. Medic Irwin Wade from 'Saving Private Ryan'. You could also say the name stems from the Croc Hunter Steve Irwin, but eh. 

~Abigail. Since I was a wee little thing I adored that name. However, I think I would use it as a middle name to the name I will name my girl. Sophie Abigail Blahblahblah. The name Abigail is from The Winter of Red Snow: Dear America. Sophie comes from the general like of the name and it's my great grandma's name. 

~Emmett. Any guesses as to what character I got this from? If you guess Emmett from the Twilight books, then you are correct! It's just a nice, strong name. Also there is a city nearby that is named Emmett, so maybe it is fate...

~Thea. Loved this name since the moment I read this in Mistress of Rome by Kate Quinn. ^.^

~Tao. The only way I would get my way with this one was if I married a Chinese guy and had a baby. Or if I named a pet this. I love this name! This name is from Jeannie Lin's Tang Dynasty series. ^.^

~Tristan Alexander. Or visa versa. The name comes from two different places. Tristan is from the movie/book 'Tristan and Isolde' and Alexander is a name after Alexander the Great.

~Claire. Such a sweet and cute name. This name comes from Claire from one of my favorite shows EVER 'Lost'

What would you names would you give your kids?
