I love the name Harper Scott from Saving June. It's just so cool :) and I love Owen's name from Just Listen although that could just be because I am in love with his character! I have to say I don't like the names Cricket and Calliope from Lola and the Boy Next Door :(

ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of your selections! Also, Crash Into Me sounds awesome. How has it not come across my radar?
ReplyDeletei love harper scott too (as a name, and the character, LOL)
ReplyDeletei agree crash into me sounds awesome.
i will ALWAYS think of you whenever i think of Just listen. You are the ultimate fangirl <3
Argh, I have a copy of Five Flavors of Dumb sitting on my shelf - must get to it! So many books to read and so little time, LOL.
ReplyDeleteHarper is just awesome. I love Adam! I thought about adding Piper and Finn to my list too. :)
ReplyDeleteI picked Lola's dads for the best YA parent award too! I think they're awesome and they made me want to meet real life gay parents. :P Yay for all the love for Saving June and Daughter of Smoke and Bone - those two books are included in my 2011 favorites.
ReplyDeleteLOVE Adam in WSW, and I wanted to hug him alright. I really like the name Cricket but agree Calliope is terrible.
ReplyDeleteHere is my list
