Name Decoder - What You Favorite Characters' Names Mean? - Girls

So I have this thing with names. I love learning new names and I often study their meaning, too because I do believe names have power. I know it's weird, but sometimes it comes in handy. I also often look for names for fan-fictions and other stories of mine. Well, today was one of these days, and suddenly it just occurred to me that I could seek out the protagonists' names of our favorite (YA) books. I don't know how much you will care for it, yet I hope it will be interesting for some of you at least. I will be picking out books, names, however, you can request for names with leaving a comment with the character's whole name, the book she or he is from and the author.
