I have Tris on my list this week too 🙂 Such an awesome name!
LOL Love your list
I happen to love Cinder and Four and Tris as well. But yeah, agree with you. Renesmee? No thank you! And Sookie. Sorry Sookie. You’re cute and all but your name is not for me.
Your list made me laugh. Happy TTT.
My TTT
Great list. You have some awesome choices there.

I always thought Renesmee was weird – they should have named her Carlie like their other option was! I like Tegan (even though I haven’t read the book) and Sia as well!
Sookie’s name reminds me of a character called Fawn (Lois McMaster Bujold, Sharing Knife). She says it was cute as a baby, but got weird as she grew up.
Tris is a great nickname, much more hard-edged that her original name, and suits her well.
Tris and Four are such great nicknames. And I loved how the characters in Reboot were named.
Great list, I picked Four for my list but don’t know why I didn’t put Tris as I really love it. It’s definitely better than Beatrice. My STS.
