  1. I thought the same thing with Daughter of Smoke and Bone, literally almost every character has a unique name! I didn't even think of Katniss, probably because of all the popularity the book gets now.

  2. Yup, I completely forgot about Echo even though it's one of my favorite names...

    I liked the name Ismae but I preferred Sybella.
