Do you ever click on the FB links that promise adorable, unique, vintage, or clever baby names. Yeah, me neither 😉 . Well, maybe sometimes, once in a while, always. I love those click-bait posts and always hope for the best. This week Top 10 Tuesday is talking bookish names, so I came up with my top picks for baby names you just have to use. Most are very unusual and won’t occur ten times on your kids class roll. I have tried to find the meaning of each name; in some cases it is very subjective. Let me know what you think of my picks.
Make sure to head over to That Artsy Reader Girl to discover more great bookish names.

The author named her character Pearl after her grandmother!
This is such a cool twist on the name topic! I LOVE it!!! I’m always fascinated by names. I see a few on this list I really love: Pearl, Vienne, and Noble.
I love names too. Especially in Bible studies, I like to look at name meanings.
I like Aurelie and Aldric . Our children have Biblical names: Joseph Paul, Jeremy Andrew, Rachel Mara and Philip Joel. Great post!
Your kids have great names. We have a couple of Biblically named kids too. Daniel and Thomas Aaron.
