I recently read a bunch of books that I absolutely love the character names! No, these aren’t the fantasy weird names (although I LOVE those, too), but these are the common names that I am absolutely in love with!
Holland – Roomies by Christina Lauren
I read Roomies last month and I fell in love with Holland! The name is super cute and it felt fresh! I know it’s a name of a country BUT I LOVE it!
Echo – Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
Who doesn’t want to be named after a Greek nymph? I do! Echo is such a unique name! If I was named Echo, I probably wouldn’t hear the end of the joke echo, echo, echo, echo… you get the picture. But I thought it was a unique name!
Ailish – Raw Redemption by Tessa Bailey
Don’t you just love how the name Ailish rolls through your tongue? I LOVE this unique name! Raw Redemption was one of my favorite books in this Tessa Bailey series and it might be because of the name Ailish! I mean, it sounds so exotic and lovely and girly and mysterious!
Griffin – Wanderlust by Lauren Blakely
Better be Griffyndor! I HAD to do it! Griffin is such an awesome name and I usually see this in historical romance so I was tickled when Griffin is the name of the hero in Wanderlust and I think it is such a dreamy name.


Will – Follow by Tessa Bailey / Will – Our Dark Stars by Audrey Grey & Krystal Wade
If you have been following my reviews on Goodreads or this blog, you would have noticed how much I love the name Will! It has to be Will and not William. I can’t figure out why I like the name Will, but I have since I was in high school? Maybe? Anyway, Follow features a character named Will who owns an adorable dog named Southpaw! Awwwww
Also, another book that features a character named Will is Our Dark Stars! Will is a cyborg/android and such a book boyfriend material!
What are your favorite character names?
