Top Ten Names From Sarah Dessen Books
- I have always loved the names that Sarah Dessen uses in her books. They are always unique and cool sounding-- for the girls and the guys. I'm a big fan of them, and these are my faves:
1. Macy Queen from The Truth About Forever- I really really love this book. If you've never read Sarah Dessen, I say start HERE. Macy is a cool name too!
2. Emaline from The Moon and More- I grew up on a street called Evaline and this name reminds me of that.
3. Hollis West from Along for the Ride- Hollis is Auden's older brother and I just LOVE this name for a dude. I also kind of love the name Auden and it was really hard to leave it off the list!
4. Colie Sparks from Keeping the Moon- Colie!!! Such a cool name!!
5. Ruby Cooper from Lock & Key- My dog's name is Ruby so....
6. Remy Starr from This Lullaby- This is a rockstar name if I've ever heard one.
7. Halley Martin from Someone Like You- Halley was named after the comet. And if it's pronounced like it rhymes with Sally, then I super LOVE it.
8. Macon Faulkner from Someone Like You- I definitely didn't love this love interest, but his name is so Southern and fun.
9. Haven McPhail from That Summer- OMG this name is EVERYTHING.
10. Sumner Lee from That Summer- I have never met/heard of a boy in real life named Sumner, but if I did I would give them a thumbs up on a cool name!!

If you ever feel in the mood for beachy Contemporary, you should definitely try her!
DeleteGahhhh! I loved that you picked Dessen books. They are some of my faves, and I have read them all (she really needs to write a new one). YA names are often interesting, and I agree that Dessen keeps me on my toes with her name choices, but Abbi Glines definitely gives her a run for her money.
ReplyDeleteAbbi Glines!! I love her & need to try some more of her books!
DeleteHaven McPhail is a brilliant name. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI have only read one of her books. I love all these names I think Hollis is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteA boy named Summer. I've never heard of that before! Definitely some great names here.

I haven't read any Sarah Dessen book but I loved how you chose to showcase the names from one author.

Thanks!! If you want to try one, I totally suggest THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER. I think it's one of her best. Also, LOCK & KEY is amazing.
DeleteI like the name Emaline, very pretty-what a great twist on this weeks TTT!!

Although I have several of her books at home, I've not managed to read any of them yet. Looks like she has a knack for picking great names though.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
McPhail is definitely my fave. :)

Some beautiful names here. I haven't read many Sarah Dessen but these names do sound brilliant.
ReplyDeleteSumner made my list too! I love Sarah Dessen. I think I might re-read all of her books as a summer project this year.
ReplyDeleteSUCH a good idea!! I would totally be down to do that too!
DeleteI *still* haven't read a Sarah Dessen novel, but I would really like to!! Especially since I'm such a contemporary, summer-vibe kind of reader - and if there are any books that look to be EXACTLY this, it's Sarah's. :)
ReplyDeleteSummer and Halley both sound so pretty.
If you don't have a book in mind, I totally recommend starting with THE TRUTH ABOUT FOREVER. I think it's her most Dessen of all her books :)
DeleteAWESOME! Thanks for the recommendation, Michelle. Pretty sure that's one I own, so I'll have to start there. :)
DeleteI really like the name Ruby - sounds very vintage!
ReplyDeleteI love Emaline and Ruby!! I need to read more Dessen. I have only read one book by her.
ReplyDeleteWhat book did you read??
DeleteI actually haven't read any Sarah Dessen books, but I really should! These names are indeed so cool.
ReplyDeleteI really like the name Haven! Great list!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Along for the Ride and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the names Hollis and Auden. They're unique without being silly and they also sound sort of intelligent and intense to me (in a good way!)
ReplyDeleteOeh I like Emaline!
ReplyDeleteMy first ever Dessen book was The Truth About Forever. Great picks!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, looks like I'm your Comment Challenge partner for June - nice to meet! :)
