Once or twice. I found it to be odd repeatedly saying my name in my head. I try to avoid those. Victoria isn’t too terribly common, so it’s not too hard.
One time I found a book called Eva and I was SOOOO excited! Finally a book with my name!!! It was a book about a freaking girl who was in a car accident and they put her brain in a freaking monkey body!!! Like wtf!!!???
Yes. However, she’s not one of the main characters and doesn’t have any participation in the series. Great thing is she’s one of the founders of Hogwarts!? Rowena Ravenclaw. And I also belong to the same house. ❤?
I read a book where there were characters with my first name, both of my sisters first names, and another character with our last name. It was a little creepy…
My current book has the name of a male friend of mine as the protagonist but it’s a female character. Throws me off a little but the name is so common it’s not horrible
Nope
Not once, nope, never
Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Reyna is queen in my language. ?
@Dixie My dad was Filipino and named Reynaldo. I got my name from his. But it was my German mom who came up with the idea. ?
Nope
Yup. Read a few books with Kat as a character
yep!
Nope
I was named after one
I like putting my biggest fans names into my books
No, but there’s always an “edgy” side character with my name ?
Not the main character, but I have read books that had characters with my last name & Smithwick isn’t that common. One was a Hardy Boys mystery.
Smithwick is a fairly good Irish ale too ?
Sooooo good.
Never?
Meddling Kids has a Kerri as a main character.
I can’t recall ever doing that, but there is a children’s book called Jessica about a girl named Ruthie that has an imaginary friend named Jessica.
we used to love a children’s book called When Jessie Came Across the Sea
I’ll look into it!
its beautifully written and illustrated
Once or twice. I found it to be odd repeatedly saying my name in my head.
I try to avoid those. Victoria isn’t too terribly common, so it’s not too hard.
so I guess you avoid any book about the queen with your name. 😉
Lol, I guess so.
Lots — but never with the same spelling.
I think only once but I dont remember what book it was.
not ever. not even my middle name
I doubt there is a book where the main character has the same name as me ?
@Vivian **goes and writes a book with your name**
@Derek that is a brilliant idea ?
@Vivian I’m currently writing a dinosaur/time rift project, where a main characters name is Vivian Lancaster
@Derek no way, that sounds like it would be pretty awesome (even if the mc is a Vivian)
There you go:https://www.amazon.com/Vivian-Red-Kristina-Riggle/dp/1943818789
No never ever…
No.
No. But I read one where the main love interest had my brother’s name…I had to stop.
Yes, part if how I got sucked into the Sweet Valley books when I was little! Plus I am a twin too.
@Jessica my favourite books as an adolescent!!!
please tell me your twin is not named Elizabeth
@Abby no, boy twin, but his name is Eric- starts with an E at least! ?
No.
Nope.
Yes. Nancy Drew books.
Nope
Not yet
Nope
Nope
Technically no because they always spell it wrong.
Nope
No. But I almost bought a book the other day just because the MC has my name.
Nope
Bible ?
Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
Nope ?
No but I read one where he used an alias I had used as a pen name.
I’m named after Laura Ingalls Wilder ?
Nope ?
No. Maybe someday. If you know any good books with a main character named Jennifer. Let me know!
Heck, even a side character. That might work.

No. My full name is Nadara. But I did start writing a book last year where the main character’s name was Katrina. ☺️
@Nay if I ever have a daughter can I please name her after you? I know I’ve told you this already, but I love your name.
@Nay That is my name ?
@Nay is a good name too. You can have 2 great names.
Nope I can never ever find any thing with my name on it
I find it too distracting (I go by Sky sometimes).
“Amanda” is usually kept for the name of the goofy best friend or the b*#@h characters…never the main character. LOL.
Gone With the Wind
The Fault in our Stars
One time I found a book called Eva and I was SOOOO excited! Finally a book with my name!!! It was a book about a freaking girl who was in a car accident and they put her brain in a freaking monkey body!!! Like wtf!!!???
No buuuuutttt my mom named me after a woman she saw on TV that she thought was beautiful!!!! And the woman wrote a book!
The reporter on Danish tv ?
I think it was some politician back in the 90s
No, but whenever I see that somebody has lain down, or something has lain unread, I just see my name instead.
Never, and it’s unlikely i ever will
yes!!!
Nope, if anyone can recommend? 🙂
Steele is very popular, not sure I have seen Lisa Steele but definitely family members
Haha no ? not even the alternate spelling.
My parents found my name on a flyer for a stripper ?
Yes. However, she’s not one of the main characters and doesn’t have any participation in the series. Great thing is she’s one of the founders of Hogwarts!? Rowena Ravenclaw. And I also belong to the same house. ❤?
It’s pronounced differently, but Lysa from GOT/ASOIAF. Freaking hated her. She was such a miserable and weird character.
I don’t see my name in books often, I think I’ve read one or two with the name Alyssa. But they weren’t main characters
It is so interestering reading your replies 😀
what about you? have you found a book character with your name?
@Kat Nope not yet ?
Yes. A horror book ?????
Does a rap sheet count?
No. I don’t see many Kendras.
@Kendra I am reading a Kendra right now. Kendra Sorenson from Brandon Mull’s Dragonwatch series.
At least Dumbledore’s mother is named Kendra! I have a magical name! 🙂
Yes, only once so far. More interesting was to find an old boyfriends full name in a novel.
No. But i would love too
unfortunately no lol
No. I wish.
Abraham Moses Phillips never unless you count separate people in the Bible.
No but I want to read Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. ?
@Rebecca read that one for the first time a few months ago. It was great!
@Marissa I have a copy of it. I really must read it soon.
Yes and I simply love it easier for me to get into the book of that makes any sense ?
I started collecting books with characters who have the same name as me ☺️
Do you have “Forever Amber”? kind of a romance novel.
@Kathryn nope. I don’t have that one. Thanks for the suggestion
Nope.
I can’t recall, but I don’t think so.
No but that would be cool.
I think there’s a series with a detective named “Tara” but I can’t think of it right now.
I read a book where there were characters with my first name, both of my sisters first names, and another character with our last name. It was a little creepy…
I had to go biblical for that!
Ya but it’s pretty easy since I have a common name.
Heidi
@Heidi i loved those books!
@Heidi To be fair, many women named Heidi are named for the character. Like my sister.
Not a common name but I like it that way ?
My current book has the name of a male friend of mine as the protagonist but it’s a female character. Throws me off a little but the name is so common it’s not horrible
No, but have with my daughters names…
Nope. I’ve read books with Mandy’s in them, but never a main character, and never spelled with and i
Nope, not yet
No.
