Pagebound User Book Cameos

For when your PB friends share the same name(s) as a book character! (See pinned comment for master list! Please feel free to chime in if you want to be added and/or if you want a different book assigned to you; I didn’t want to step on toes and add people I haven’t really talked to without their permission ❤️ also my brain is smooth and I forget book character names all the time lol)

I've never seen a book with a character with my name...except for maybe catching fire

8

there’s a character named Maggie in BK Borison’s Heartstrings series, she’s a side character in the first two but she’ll be the FMC in the third one coming out next year!

4

so what im hearing is that @maggiebobo and @moski need to have a rock paper scissors duel to claim Maggie vs Mags /j

6

when and where, @moski?

2

ooooo yay!

1

The Library By Bella Osborne also has a Maggie! 😊

2

ooooo, I've never read it

2

This is precious

9

💕💕💕💕💕 i feel like there's DEF a protagonist somewhere named "thistle" but i'm not coming up with anything right now, i'll keep thinking!

4

Not a protag but I think one of the contestants in The Hunger Games is named Thistle.

3

ooooooo yes - thank you for that shout!

3

Happy to be of service!

3

Oh I didn’t even remember that!

2

In Beware of Chicken, Meiling, is sometimes called Thistle. It’s lighthearted teasing at first, then affectionate. But it is not frequently used.

1

This is the sweetest loveliest concept. I’d be honoured to be included too (either moss or maya or mossy) if youd like !!

8

i used maia from the goblin emperor by katherine addison if that works for you :DD! i think you'd like him a lot if you ever read the book!

The Konmari Method (my nickname is Mari and I'm named after a Japanese dancer of the same name, AND I have been (will eventually be again) a professional organizer), so when this book came out I thought was this written for me specifically?? 😻😸

Also this is so adorable and I love it for all its wholesomeness

8

Oh- if it has to be a novel/story then I'll have to think on it. I don't know if I've ever read a book with my most used nickname! (And my Full actual first name is a secret and only very special users will ever discover it 😌😉)

3

I think it’s fine if it’s not fictional lol, do you have a specific version of the book you’d want added? I see there’s like a manga version or smth?

The original book is my preferred! "The life changing magic of tidying up!" By Marie Kondo I believe (though the title on Pb maybe is longer)

2

perfect - tysm! i'll get that added stat!

2

🫶🫰🥰

2

This is so CUTE 😭

I doubt there's a book with my actual name (Caoimhe) but if you happen upon a Ginger or a Biscuit, lil ol' me would be honoured and bashful to be included.

7

also the biscuit storybook !!!

3

Baby Caoimhe's First Christmas!! I just found this online if it is acceptable for you, your highness

5

I'm stunned! I'm going to Google it now 🤣 Genuinely the only time I've ever seen my name in a book was in those "Your Name Here" books from when I was a child! (You had to send away for it to be made 🤣)

6

AW CUTE i havent read it but i hope it lives up!! i will continue to look for books w characters named caoimhe, i feel like i have seen it in something recently

4
avatar
Edited

how did it completely fly over my head that your name meant ginger biscuit LOL i'm adding Baby Caoimhe's First Christmas if that works for you!!! (edit: i haven't been able to find it on GR but i'll keep searching)

5

I can't find it either! 🕵🏻‍♀️ I would be honoured with anything biscuit related though! 🤣

2

woah ! can i get everyone’s autograph? i’m a fan.

7

ME TOOO

dearest catalina, may you always be silly and feel like the royal prince you are. showering you with silky soft rain, yours truly raindrop 💌💌💌💌

7

thank you ! i’m gonna press this into the pages of one of my favorite books like a flower. 🫶🏼

5

this is SO cute im gonna cry

7

aww yayyy omg im glad you like!!! do you want to be added under the maggies?

5

This is the cutest idea aww (If you want to add me, I've gone with CoffeeWorld everywhere for a decade after taking it from the manga Tokyo ghoul: re. Also I just checked when that manga started and it was in October 2014 so it's been 11 years and I'm starting to feel like a mummy ready to crumble to dust)

6

i would be delighted to add you! is this the right edition of the manga?

4

Yes it's that one! Thanks 💜

3

of course! i always thought your username was just a passionate expression of love for coffee haha so wonderful to get the full lore

2

It's also a passionate expression of love for coffee (I just love coffee so much) but it comes from a scene of this manga with a character picking a name for himself and choosing based on the kanji he preferred, which were coffee and world. I liked it so much that I've been using this for over 10 years 😂

4

that’s ICONIC lmao, and i relate so much to this character. love it for you 😂😂

1

after scrolling through a very long list, i have learned that Alexandra is a very popular name for historical romance heroines. this particular cover tickled my fancy so i’ll just leave my choice 🔗here

6

love ittt! added!

2

🫶🫶🫶

2

Ahh I’ll have to add this one! I wasn’t expecting to find another Alex here on the list though my full first name isn’t Alexandra but it’s close 😅 I’m adding this to my list, thank you!

3

though i’m Alex like 99.8% of the time, Alexandra is my true form and i like to whip it out when i’m feeling ✨fancy✨.

3

I feel that! I go by Alex all the time, so when I hear my govt name I’m like 👀👀 who’s calling me? xD side note but I did follow you because we share the same name- how exciting! :)

1

Omg adorable ! I would love to read a book with my own name in it ! I already have a good overlap with this list which is fun

Edited

The only thing coming to me rn is Alison from pretty little liars hahaha if you’re good with me adding that for you 🙂‍↕️

3

Yeah of course ! I never read or watched so maybe it would be fun

2

If you like zombies, there's Allison Hewitt is trapped By Madeleine Roux 😊

2

Would love to hear if anyone has any book recs with an FMC named Paige 🥹 (I know I can just look it up, but there's no fun in that haha)

5

There's Samantha Shannon's The Bone Season!

3

Perhaps my name has strayed too much from the original, but my user name is from the character Evumeimei, a main character from Tamora Pierce's Street Magic / Melting Stones books.

5

Oooo nice!!!

2

wait that’s actually so cool! totally counts, i’m adding it now!

3

this is so sweet! i found an aliyah somewhere in a 2026 release but of course have no memory of what that book was

5

Lmaoooo isn’t that always how it is! will come back if I manage to find/remember a book with an Aliyah 🙂‍↕️💗

3

i found it! the book’s called strange girls (and looks rather good!)

5

oh that DOES look good, exciting stuff! i’m adding it now haha, thank you!

3

Jokes on you I have a considerably “rare” name (it’s just a weird spelling of Darrah)

4

I can’t think of a Jackie offhand. Hardmode: NOT Jackie Kennedy; I was named after her so it’s a little bit cheating 😂

4

HMM i'll put my thinking cap on for this! i swear i've read books with jackie's before!

2

This is such a cute and fun idea!!! I love it I'm bookmarking it ❤️

I'd love to be added, but I'm blanking on characters' names 🧍🏻‍♂️ esp ones that could be either Corvo/Crow... and the only one for Marco I could think on the spot, is the Marcos from Tender is the Flesh, but I don't want to be associated with that mfer LMAOOO

4

❤️❤️❤️❤️ so so glad that you like it!! i'll keep an eye out for corvo/crow, but there's a Marco in the Animorphs series if that is of interest lol. he's a sarcastic class clown type, really hilarious, probably better than Tender is the flesh Marcos LOL

3

Crow is a main narrator in Grief is the Thing with Feathers!!

2

Ohhh!!! This sounds interesting 👀 I'd pick that for me over here and also for my interested list lmao

there’s also a Boy Named Crow in Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore! and a Jungle Crow in Ozeki’s A Tale for the Time Being (is it an omen that i’ve read so many books with crows recently)

oh my gosh HOW DID YOU EVEN COME UP WITH THIS AAAA ITS SO CUTE 🥹😭 i would looove it if you wanted to add mine! my name is pretty common but i cant think of any specific book, its the Turkish version of the name Daphne though so maybe a greek mythology book? I really want to know her story better and this list actually awakened something in me lmao i should read about it sooner!!

4

probs a translation of ovid's metamorphoses then? i thought stephanie mccarter's translation of the apollo and daphne story in particular was very interesting

4

oooooh lemme add it to my tbr immediately hehe thank youuuu💓💓

3

i added metamorphoses for you!!! let me know if you want something different!!

2

awwww THANK YOUUUU!! this is the cutest theme ever 🥹🫶

1

juneandday is based off of the characters June and Day from Legend by Marie Lu

4

2

I love them 😭😭

2

I would like to be added via my own Tamora Pierce where my name is the title 🙂‍↕️

4

This is so cute I love it!

3

3

Id be curious to know if/where theres an Athena thats not the goddess 🤔

3

2

Im fine with that! Thank you ^-^

2

3

This is so sweet!!

Well, now I feel sad because I’m super sure my username won’t be found in any book 🥲 the FOMO is real y’all.

Awww nooo I think Mia should be in some books! I’ll have to look something up, my memory is terrible, but I don’t think we need to be strict about exact spelling or anything haha ❤️❤️ whatever would make you happiest! 🫂🫶

I could also add the magical girl retires if you want to be represented by the concept of a magical girl since your username is so magical ✨✨✨

3

Aww thank you ✨🥹 I would very much like to be represented in this most wonderful list of wonderful people and books! 🤍

3

added the princess diaries for you, but let me know if you want it changed! :D🫶

2

Awww thank you Ayzz ✨🤍 you’re the absolute best!

THE AMELIA MIGNONETTE THERMOPOLIS RENALDI ✨🤍

Not exactly a book but if you're a star wars/rebels fan 👀👀

Ive somehow have yet to watch rebels despite having a huge star wars phase in my teens

1

I can come back with at least three Ezra recommendations.

2

Dysfunctional by Isabel Lucero The Tentacle Pirate’s Prince by Charlotte Brice Tempting the Fae Lord by Lee Colgin Fairies Never Fall by Sera Bishop

2

Yay thank you!

2

This is so flipping sweet oh my gosh 🥹🥹

Also if any of y'all know of a character named Laken, I'd be very interested 👀

3

I've seen a Layken!

...Unfortunately though it's in Colleen Hoover's Slammed 😔

2

I've heard of that one, too 😭 I think I'll have to pass lol

2

Jovie is the FMC of Metal Slinger by Rachel Schneider 💕 It’s a rare name so I’m surprised I even found one!

3

ooooh so glad you finally found a book with your name haha! added!

1

Would love to be added too but Idk any books with characters named Celine. Other than like one in the Mortal Instruments series but not that please.

3

the only celine i can come up with is celine dion LOL. will have to keep an eye out!!

2

AHAHAHA. Well I mean a memoir counts? But I'd prefer it not to count.

2

There's Celine By Peter Heller!

2

Ooooh the book sounds cool. Celine makes me think of Miss Marple (not that I very much like Miss Marple)

2

unfortunately i highly doubt i will ever find a book with a main protagonist named Sajl 😭 maybe a similar name with different spelling but definitely not the way I spell and pronounce it </3

3

Omggg we gotta start the petition for someone to use sajl as a character name !

3

Omg this is genius✨ I love it!!!! and I feel so happy to see my own little name connection on it (you remembered the reasoning! 💗💗💗)… I’m very curious to see any new connections appear over time! Now I might need to add a whole lot more books to my tbr, just to pay respect to the associated users 🙈🥂

3

The Perry/Peri club is pretty big here but technically I'm a Pery, and afaik I'm only in the D&D Dungeon Master's Guide- complete with description, stat block, and illustration, if ur curious what i look like

3

you’re so majestic!! pery/perry/peris stay winning 😌

3

Wait I’m having fomo 🥺 I know there’s some Caitlin authors but I’m not sure about characters! Caitlin Doughty has From Here to Eternity: Traveling the World to Find the Good Death

3

There's Nightmares of Caitlin Lockyer By Demelza Carlton!

2

Omg I’ve never heard of this!! Thank you!!

2

What a cool idea!

2

This list is seriously so damn cute🥹🩷🩷

2

This list is awesome! :D

The only book I can think of with my irl nickname Ari is Ostwind - Aris Ankunft and I want to leave that book definitely in my past xD

Other than that if someone finds a book with a character named Ariane, please tell me about it. So far I've only found rockets that are my namesake xD

2

Pretty sure mine doesn't require much brain power to find 🤭

Toast on Toast: Cautionary Tales and Candid Advice 👀

2

wait ayz wbu! do u need help finding one for your username 🫂🦋

2

There's Ayz By Toru Fujieda - A comic with no reviews or ratings I found on Goodreads. 😊

Not sure if there's anything else!

2

WOOOO

2

Does it still count if the name is spelled differently?

2

Totally! It counts if you want it to count! 💗

1

She's not the main character or even deuteragonist, but she does work with them. Her name is Raina and the book is Dichronauts by Greg Egan.

1

Just a little bit obsessed with this list 🤩😆 I think Sarah is such a common name that I literally cannot remember ever seeing it in a book 😆😆 (also, my username is literally just my initials and now reading some of these comments I think I could have been way more creative 😆😭)

1

Gagged by the Gherkin by Biblio Barbie I’m sorry…??

1

Hello

1

This is so freaking cute and I'd be so honoured if you wanted to add me. 🥹

Not sure if there's any books with an "Abi" in, I've only ever came across "Abby's" but there's Abigail By Magda Szabo 😊

1

ayz this is actually the cutest thing i’ve ever seen!! i would be honored to be included via Network Effect by martha wells, which has my beautiful Perihelion who shares my nickname of peri 🚀🫶

1

OMG this is such a cute list MY GOD! Your brain is so big and creative.

Not necessarily spelled the same, but the main characters name in Attack on Titan is Eren (and is where my username comes from). I'd love to be here if you'd have me! 🙂

1

I absolutely love this list!! I have read through ~170 comments an added books where I could. For the past 6 years I’ve kept annual lists of all the MC’s in the romance books I read. This equals thousands of names. So drop a comment here if anyone is missing one and wants me to search my lists!
