Has anyone else noticed how in romance books in particular authors use some great names and, in particular, some great themes? For example, the Bridgerton books by [name_f]Julia[/name_f] [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] (alphabetical names for the siblings [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m], [name_m]Colin[/name_m], [name_f]Daphne[/name_f], [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], [name_m]Gregory[/name_m], and Hyacinth), the Until series by [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Reynolds[/name_u] (month names for one family of girls [name_u]July[/name_u], [name_u]June[/name_u], [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_u]December[/name_u], and April), [name_u]Forever[/name_u] Never Always by [name_f]Hanna[/name_f] [name_m]Holt[/name_m] (tree names for all of the siblings [name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m], [name_u]Cypress[/name_u], [name_u]Willow[/name_u], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_u]Linden[/name_u], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], and Zelkova), the Core [name_u]Four[/name_u] series by [name_u]Stacy[/name_u] Borel (four brothers named after baseball stadiums [name_u]Camden[/name_u], [name_m]Turner[/name_m], Dodger, and Wrigley). So this CAF is kind of open-ended except pick a theme and run with it.
