Katniss, Prim and Rue
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The Hunger Games trilogy has so many good names, but I'm a sucker for floral names.
Bindy Mackenzie
Becoming Bindy Mackenzie by Jaclyn Moriarty
I think Bindy's name totally suits her, and it's not a name you often associate with younger characters therefore it stands out in YA.
Nymphadora Tonks and Albus Dumbledore
Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling
Tonks may hate her name, but I quite like it! And let's face it, Dumbledore is a wonderful word that is fun to say.
Echo
Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry
I hadn't seen this as a name before and it's such a beautiful word anyway, so it makes an even more beautiful name!
Cassia
Matched by Ally Condie
I really love Cassie as a name and there are a lot of Cassies floating around, so Cassia is a nice twist on a familiar name.
Rain and Reef
Night Witches by L. J. Adlington
This book had a lot of interesting and unusual names, and I just read this book so they're are fresh in my mind. I mean the name Rain does make me think of Ross and Rachel from Friends (if you get that reference I want to high five you) but I do really like it. And the two names go well together.
