The rising and rapid success of Heated Rivalry is so well deserved. This is one of the best pieces of television I have watched in a long long time. And of course, I was laughing to myself thinking how many babies are going to be named after the characters on the show. Don’t we all want a little Ilya now? I think we all fell in love with these characters and hearing their names make our hearts pitter-patter. So it wouldn’t be surprising or strange to be inspired!
I see a surge coming for the main names, but also for names that have that same softness vs. fire. So I thought it would be fun to not only include names from the book and television series, but also a few other inspired lists. Think: hockey, Russia, Canada, ice vs fire… that kinda thing. I hope you enjoy!
