  2. United States. And I would keep my own name because I would be too confused otherwise. So Leslie still.

  4. I’m from the US, and I would choose the name Twyla. I’ve loved that name ever since I heard it in Hogfather.

  11. I’m from the US territory known as Puerto Rico. Currently living in Hell’s butt.

    My name would be Aira still I think. Primarily because no one can pronounce it in this world so it would probably be the same in another *cheeky grin*

  16. Ohh!!! After the preview, my p*tience is toast!

    USA (TN) and I would be Moriah the Mysterious…because who doesn’t get enamored by a little mystery? 😁

  17. 1. US
    2. Susan. I love unique names, but I am also learning to love who I am. 😊

    Thank you for the chance to win a book!!!

  22. Hi Mod R,

    I live in Ireland and my name would be Esther the Elusive – I think no matter what world I’d be in I would just sneak around trying to anonymously assist the main characters in their quests for glory or redemtion or revenge or even their favourite pie 😛

  23. I’m in the UK. My fantasy book name would be Xena but since I’m old I would probably only actually answer to my boring real name 🙂

  26. I’m gonna go with Mairin, because that was always my RPG rogue thief name in my imaginary misguided youth. Fingers crossed!

  30. United States, and I think I’d be Amerie , but as for last names or titles I’m absolutely drawing a blank.

  31. United States. And I’d have to go with my Grandmothers’ names…Mary Ruby. strong, smart, independent women…one fierce, one gentle. Both loving.

  35. Hi! I am in the United States. My name would be Methos after one of my favorite TV characters (Highlander series). So excited for this book!

  37. Maine, Land of Ice and Snow, in the US.

    Kirith Jariel Eldesharr of the Northern Forest clan, Guardian of the Sacred Mountain, Ktaadn.

  40. From the United States

    Tempest the Introvert (of the Texas Introverts)
    Defender of the Oxford Comma
    Lady of the Reading Nook

  42. United States. I like my name (and I’ve had it for a very long time) so I’d keep it. Thanks for the giveaway. Really looking forward to reading all about Maggie.

  44. From the US and I’d be Hermione as I’ve always identified with being Ravenclaw with a gryffindor spirit

  46. I am from Northern Virginia in the United States…..and I would probably keep my name, but switch it to Kris….nice and short! Also I would remember it.,,,

    (If I wanted to be fun, I would go by my maiden name…Friday…as my first!)

  50. From Germany
    I do like my name, but I think in a new world a lot should change so I would go by Rosilda (not shortend as Rosi!!!! but it could be Silda, Rilda or Ro)

  54. THE HOARD IS PLEASED BY THIS OFFERING

    USA, I’d go with Ada Lovelace even though the new world would not get the reference

  57. I am from the US. This is actually a question a ruminate on often and despite the dangers and the fact I would definitely not survive, I think I’d like to find myself either in Kate’s world or maybe Hidden Legacy. I’d go by middle Paige more often I think. I use it now but not professionally. I’d be a more authentic version of myself in another world.

  58. i’m in the US. My name would be Raven the Ever Practical, She Who Makes Difficult Decisions, Logistician Extraordinaire, First of Her Line

  59. United States. I like my name, so I might stick with Sola. I’d probably pick a new last name though. Hmmmmm

  60. I’m in the US. I would keep my name Tanya but would love to visit Gertrude Hunt in any of the Innkeeper stories. I would really like to go to post-Shift Atlanta but I feel like I would be one of the hapless bystanders that gets crushed by a djinn possessed giant or caught in the cross fire between Erra and the Order.

  61. United States
    Keera the Small. Its what I’ve been called for real life by my family members and close friends. 🤣
    Always the shortest and smallest sibling, and cousin. As an adult I still get told how surprised they are that I cleared 5 feet 😂

  65. This is Arlea from the United States of America. I would love to be transported to Clean Sweep as a budding Innkeeper. I want to get my own dog too. Magic Happens!

  67. USA – I’d use the name I use in video games, Zoie. My husband uses Fridgebaron so now I’m imagining us in an isekai with those names and giggling.

  69. United States, my name would be Lex’aerie, Countess of Tomes. Not sure why, sounds appropriately fantastical.

  72. 1. which country: USA
    2. what your name would be…: Tuzahki the Listener, First-level Creature Speaker

  73. hi! I’m from the USA ( tho I would like a PDF ARC because I’m dying to read this quickly)!

    Out of sheer panic, I would say Pygmalion and then spend the rest of the book trying desperately to change it to something cooler or nicer.

  74. Thank you very much!

    I’m in the USA and I would stay with my given name, Karen – in recognition and appreciation for my Norwegian heritage.

  75. hi there!

    I’m From the United States and I feel like my name would be ” Clarissa, lady knight of light and fifth of her name” but I’d go by Clara if it was a more casual setting.

    thanks!

  80. from the US

    my name would be Lady Jazzlynn, barer of knowledge, feared by the witless, and beloved by the keepers of books.

  81. Thanks for having this giveaway! I’m from Canada, but if I got dropped in a fantasy kingdom, I’d definitely be Opal the Disoriented.

  84. OMG thank you so much for this giveaway !! I dream of winning and yet, I think I’ll be happy to w*it a lil more, it’s been so long that the end feels strangely okay !

    I’m from France, and if I had to change identity, I think I would go with my second name, Morgane, because it sounds witchy and cool and litteraly means “From the sea” so that’s fine for me ! No last name.

  89. 1. Norway.

    2. Panin von Bruxa because that’s my old Discworld MUD name, and the first thing that came to mind.

  90. Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh!!!!!! I’m in the US, New Mexico to be precise! Name: Chaos Witch. I have other names, but I don’t really want people climbing the mountains to find me. Thank you for the opportunity. Thank you for all the stories.

  91. 1. United States
    2. Alyssandra of the Abyss greets you. Please sign the waiver and keep your hands inside the craft at all times.

  94. United States!!
    And hmmm…this is surprisingly hard. I think I’d keep my first name. Melissa the Feral Lady, first of her name, newly bonded griffin rider 🧡

  96. I’m in Canada!! my name would be Nerual, which is just my name backwards, but I always thought it was pretty

  101. Entering from the US

    It’s been a long week and I’m too tired to try to be creative. Thank you for the opportunity!

  102. United States reader here. I’d be Cordelia, after the daughter of King Lear (but would not be transported into the play, thank you very much!)

  103. I’m from the US. Honestly, I would probably keep my own name. Anastey is unique and I think it could fit in about everywhere.

  105. I’m from the United States.
    I would go by Carolina, a version of my name that I used in all of my Spanish classes.

  108. Canada, and I’m pretty sure if I landed in any of the worlds I read about that I wouldn’t live long enough for anyone to actually learn my name. So something like “Bystander Casualty #3”?

  112. United States

    My own name is hilarious and I love it, but most people now don’t like to use the title “Mrs.”. If I could be transported into a Jane Austin novel, I would love being called Mrs. Bachelor all the time! who doesn’t want to be a walking oxymoron?

  116. From the US.

    Caltryx, Keeper of the Sacred Flame, Sun Sword, and Empress of Mythos

    When I was first asked to order business cards, I asked what title I should use since my HR title was nothing like what I did. My manager said to just pick something. I mocked up something similar for fun, using my real name, of course. My manager was less amused than I was.

  122. I live in the United States.

    I would go under the name of Nachia. a play on my great aunts name Nacha.

  123. Always my given name, Doni. It’s so unusual and I have loved it since I saw it in Clan of the Cave Bear when I was much much younger. I am especially fond of it being linked to its association with divine justice and moral integrity. I do consider that association to be particularly valid when I consider myself wronged.😉
    United States

  124. I’m from the US! And if I had a fantasy name – it would be Madelyn – always been my favorite name. And go by Maddy. ❤️

  126. I live in the U.S. and my name would be Eryna instead of my usual Erin. Lady Eryna sounds kind of cool to me!

  128. Bonjour from France,

    I guess I would keep my name, unless I needed an alias.

    Then I may choose an indestructible name for luck, like Ilea, or Maggie 😉 Because I’m not superstitious, but living in a fantasy land, I may change my mind…

  129. Germany
    Marian the persistent from the Green Forests

    The 27.2. is the day i met my husband und also later on our Wedding Date.

    If this is not a good Omen…

    Good luck to all!

    And thank you very much for a Little Hope and Happiness.

  132. USA
    Simone – wouldn’t change it. While in my mind I’d like to be Kate in reality I am more like an animal mage in Hidden Legacy or Adeline from the Inheritance 🙂

  136. Entering from the United States! If I was transported to a fantasy world, I don’t think I have just one name, I’d give myself a different name for every area I visited.

  139. Entering from the US. My name would probably stay the same, I think learning to answer to a new name while also wrapping my mind around my situation would break me.

  141. Oh geez! I’m so bad at picking names for myself! It took me a long time to love my own.

    Maybe I’ll pick one that has a quality I aspire to, and say Grace.

    I used to have a hairdresser named Altagracia, which is a name I absolutely love. The hairdresser was originally from the Dominican Republic, but lived in New York City.

    I still live in the USA.

  142. I live in the United States.

    My name would have to stay Stephanie if I fell into a story. I couldn’t possibly remember everything about the world if I also had to remember I changed my name. Thanks for the giveaway!

  143. I am in the US. I, too, would not survive in many of the books I read so Casualty xxx would suit me fine.

  146. Hello there from the Basque Country, Spain! No idea what my fantasy name would be, for sure not as cool as Maggie The Undying, maybe Buttercup? I love the princess bride☺️

  147. i am from Texas and i want my fantasy name to be wynd. i want to be able to hear the music of the wind and send my own song off to far off places.

  149. I’m from the US. I would pick the name Corinna. I’ve always liked the name and always thought if I wrote a book, that would be the protagonist’s name. I have no idea where I came by the name. I didn’t know anyone with that name, and I first thought of it when I was 8 or 9.

  150. USA
    CaMaRa: Reader of Books, Paladin of Libraries, Member of the Book Devouring Hoard, and devotee of the Goddess of Literacy

  151. Entering from: U.S.

    My name would be Suzy (not very original, oh well)!

    Thanks for this opportunity— so excited to read this book!

  152. I’m from the US. In any other world than Innkeeper, I would choose Caldenia to remind me to be fierce and cunning, but in a regal way.

  154. Here from the dreary east cost of the US

    Kiera Meridius Desomus Prime Will-the-sun-ever-shine-again? First of Her Name

    Lady of eternal Rain, She-Who-Worships-the-Sun, Keeper of Maximus He-Who-Flees-Before-Joggers the cowardly German Shepherd

  155. I am too used to my name to change it. When i played video games I used the name ADozer. So Anne it would be. I’m in the US and then Virginia.

  157. entering from the Netherlands

    Aunt Carol the Frazzled Bogwitch, Supreme Hag, Esteemed member of the Council of Cat Servants.

  159. I live in Canada. I think I’d like the name Cat (or Kat, no preference to spelling).

    Love your books!

  160. Entering from US… and I would totally keep my name Kelly… You don’t see any of those are main characters and if I do see them as side ones… they seem to always spell it wrong… OK not wrong, just the alternative spelling lol.

  162. From Spain

    Name: Ophelia because of my favorite song and character from Hamlet.
    Cannot wait to read This Kingdom!!

  167. From the US. In any world other than Garth Nix’s Sabriel/Abhorsen, I would either be Sabriel or Lirael. I use it in basically EVERY game or D&D Session I am in.

  171. US entry!

    Name: Terrabinaphim, Keeper of Keys

    (Rather enjoyed some of the naming conventions from the Dragon Keeper series and this is what came to mind 😅)

  173. I might just stick with my given name of Richard. Or if something more elaborate use my gaming name. Demonwarcat. Responding from the UK.

  174. Hello 🙂
    I was born and raised in Germany but I now live in the USA.
    My adopted transported-into-a-book name would be Lyra. Not quite as impressive as Rhae”zalydrix, I know, but my true full name can only be revealed to the Master of Koriiynn-B’laat.

  175. lady of the soggy isles, really?

    I’m from USA, my name is Picham Picham from the land of Mina Mina Mina

    (not entering give away, just wanted to type in my kids first words)

  176. Country would be Germany
    and the name i would love to go with is a mix from to of my favorite name i game with so Novva Lichtfunkel

    cant wait to get my hands on the book!! :3
    also thanks a lot for this opportunity <3

  178. US reader here. My name would depend on what kind of world I ended up in. Similar to our own? Lucy Greer (Lucy after Lucy Pevensie and because it is so much easier for people to understand than my own name, and Greer is a family name). Or Searcy Collins (an author name I made up long ago).

    Fantasy world? Ilirien, which is a name I’ve used online for eons.

    Given the books I read? Jane Doe is probably the most likely. 😆

  181. Oops
    United States
    Marsha says
    February 20, 2026 at 10:13 am
    Mak’la of the wandering soul
    Daughter of the Goddess Mal’asha of the threads of
    Life.

  182. From the UK. I’d borrow from Welsh and be Seren.
    And thank you for including those of us outside the USA in the giveaway!

  184. Entering from Canada.

    My name would be Annie.

    So excited to read this new book and escape from this messed up world.

  185. Entering from Canada

    Amelia – would be my name in another universe, what can I say Im boring Id want it close to my name

  188. Entering from Iceland.

    My fictional name would be Sam, as my actual name is unpronounceable. It would be a nice change 🙂

  189. 1. UK
    2. Julie the Mysterious! I’d like to cultivate an air of mystery, mainly because in real life I’m pretty much an open book! 😆.

  194. I just learned my dog’s bridgerton name is Lord Chewbacca Cheeseton of shishtzu so I guess I’d be Lady Cheeseton. From the US

  198. I’m from the U.S. and my fantasy book name would be Emmeline Lacewood, Lady of Literature and Laziness from the Kingdom of Hobbywoods; besties with the Duchess of Fiber Arts and Friendliness and Baroness of Baking and Brilliance.

  199. I’m from Romania. My name would be Elisa. Not original since it’s mostly my own name, but I would just forget to listen when called anything else!

  201. I’m in Texas, which thinks it’s a different country from the rest of the US, even though it’s not.
    My dragon name generator says I would be Ihtak, Hoarder of Books and Pillows, Third of Her Name, Petter of Puppies and Snuggler of Snakes.

  202. Entering from the USA, I’d keep my real name of Harmony it took me a while to grow into it and now I’d not want to give it up

  204. from the US. I’d probably go with something easy to remember but that no one in my home world would call me..like a middle name or nickname or something….

    Melinda She Who Doles Out Ripper Cushions….

  205. Entering from USA

    Jaymee, Queen of the Misfits (a name I had long time ago in a kingdom far, far away). Yeah, would probably get me in a lot of trouble. Oh, I guess my last name would be Trouble.

    Jaymee Trouble, Queen of the Misfits. No idea what book I’d be transported into, so there is more trouble on my head. Seems appropriate.

  206. Hello!
    I’m from the U.S.A.
    I am not very creative so I think my fictional name would be a variant of my real name. Let’s go with Amylia.
    Can’t wait for release day!

  207. I’m from the US!

    My name would be Jazmin. That feels very “fantasy” coded 😉

    So excited about this!!!!!!

  212. Hi! I’m in the US, and my name would be Jora Sten, Hunter of Pretty Rocks and Baker of Tasty Pies

  214. I’m in the UK. I have, obviously, preordered in hardback and digital, but I’m up for any chance to get hold of the book early! It’s months and months till March…well that’s what it feels like.

    My name would be ‘The Librarian’ …not exciting but I think it has a certain ring to it.

    So looking to this book coming out…and the next…and so on ad infinitum!

  215. I’m in the US!

    I think I’ll keep Stefanie. Imagine the universe portals me back home with my hunky love interest and now I have to explain why my name isn’t actually Aurelia. Talk about embarrassing…

  218. This is so exciting! I’m from the US.

    I feel like I would brand myself as Emma the Stupid cause I have a bad habit of taking on too much, especially when it comes to projects in grad school. Hopefully though, it would actually be something like Emma the Kind or Emma the Allknowing.

  219. I was going to say that I hope I get dropped into my favorite Kate’s Universe but then I thought about but I realized the Kinsmen Universe is on my mind.

    My name would be Irida.

    Using my knowledge of the Universe (like Maggie) I’d become a Cultural Attaché!! Whether I end up in a space opera setting or the passionate violent tropics of New Delphi, the author lords will decide!

  220. From western MA USA
    I think I would just stick with Erin, I’m in that stage of life where I hear mom, mom, MOM! Mom, mom, mom, I tend to tune a lot out but my actual name does get my attention!

  222. I’m in Iceland and I would be Dame Elva the Eccentric, Mistress of Mayhem and Herder of Cats.

  223. I’m Aurora and I live in California in the US! I think my name would be similar to Maggie’s but a bit different: Aurora the quickly dying! I’m not built for surviving a fantasy world! If I were to add a few extra titles they might be: consumer of chocolate, petter of puppies, and lover of libraries!

  225. I’m from the US.

    I would probably pick Kasta as my name. It was the name of one of my dnd characters in a campaign I use to play. Kasta is high valyrian (from GoT) and means green or blue. I chose it because of my character’s sparkling blue eyes.

    On a side note, now in a different campaign, I play a character named Catalina. She is an aasimar that can sprout spectral wings and is all about protecting her loved ones.

  226. The US

    I would probably go with something like Ruby or Kira – something short like Chris but a bit more fantasy world appropriate.

  227. Hi from California, USA 🙂

    (Which is undergoing a welcome rain and unwelcome Chill at the moment)

    I think I might go as Frangipani, a small white cat with five toes on its front paws and a habit of stealing morning tea.

  230. I’m from Canada and I would use a variant of my real name (Anne) like Annafel, as I use here, or Anara, which I’ve used in the past. Like Elisa, it would help me remember that it’s me!

  233. Entering from the USA.
    My name would be Mackenzie, at least if it was a place similar to our Earth. I’d go with Belgara if it was more like Middle Earth or somewhere our names stick out like a sore thumb.

  236. Hi, I’m from Canada. My name would be Azalea, because I think the name is pretty (the flower is pretty too).

  237. Huge HA fan from Canada here! 🇨🇦 ❤️

    People have always had problems with my name and going by “E” would open doors to easy, eh, or b/c/z/huh?.

    Calyia would be a cool name. And the spelling hopefully prevents mispronunciation😉. 🤞 🤞🤞

  238. 1. U.S.
    2. My name would be Winter. I get up to fabulous badassery with my sister Summer.

    p.s. Soggy Isles indeed! 😆

  241. I’m from Canada and I think my name would be Loic! I’d love to be something heroic but honestly I’d probably be a scribe or illumanist.

  242. Country: US
    Character name: Jade Mei-Lei
    (honoring my heritage with elements of my name in there and a play on words, cuz that’s what we love to do).

  243. Thank you for the giveaway!

    1- I’m from Canada!
    2- If I would be transported in another world, I would not want to forget where I came from and would keep part of my name… Maybe Linhmay/Mailinh?

  244. Stateside here (NY to narrow down a state)

    I would love to go with something romantic/Arthurian like Gwen/Guinevere.

  245. Hi :),
    Entering from Germany.
    My Name is Leonie and I quite like it so I think I would keep it.I would get rid of my last name which is terribly complicated.

  246. United States here!

    My name is Muna, but legally spelled Mona in my parents efforts to help me fit in. I feel like I’ve fought my whole life to have my name respected with at least a proper pronunciation (its four letters, I promise its not hard 😭), but I’ve been called everything from Monica, Luna, to Sara (how???). I had a boss once say that they’ll pronounce my name Mona, as spelled on my license, and if I didn’t like it I could go get it legally changed. I don’t think I could give up my name at this point hahaha

  247. Typing from Iowa, USA Catherine the Cautious. Lacking Maggie’s marvelous mind, I would need to tread carefully in this new and amazing kingdom. I am naming my sister ….Claire the Courageous. She is the one that all but forced me into the Ilona Andrews world years ago. I am forever grateful! Waiting for March and Arabella’s books!!

  251. Entering from Portland OR USA. I am the Kittenni Kat, Hoarder of Books and Cats, First of Their Name.

  253. I’m from the US.

    When I got my first email address many, many, many years ago I was Pandora.

    I would be Pandora, Keeper of Memories.

  256. In the currently damp with a hint of sun UK

    I’d be Fi’ona the Devourer of Knowledge, Keeper of the Cheese

  258. US, windy northeast ohio today

    when my daughter named my granddaughter 9 years ago, Gemma.. I had never heard of it. Like Emma with a G. Now I see it everywhere and always enjoy a book with a Gemma. Not sure I would want that as my name in a book but I would respond..

    When I was set to go to school, my mom had to explain that people would call me Michelle and that I wouldn’t be in trouble so I understand that’s my in trouble name. So surely not Michelle…..
    I didn’t pick to spell my name as Micki but once in a great while I find a Micki that even spells it right. So I’m going with that unless someone needs to shout, “Hey Micki” cause its not fine to blow your mind.

  260. I think I’d like to be called Momo actually, in a Japanese way, because it’s cute – and it would be a way to take it back, because in French elementary school, it’s not so cute. (France)

  261. Entering from Seattle, WA, USA.
    I’m going with my existing code name (ha): Ruby Stiletto, Badass Extraordinaire. 😉

  265. My real birth name is already fit for fantasy. I’ve yet to meet another Morag in real life, but I’ve encountered several fictional namesakes, including a Klingon, a dragon and multiple witches.

    I currently live in Germany.

  266. U.S.

    Reayorah – randomly made it up as a kid for game name! Can’t remember which game, but probably MapleStory.

  273. I am from Canada.

    My name would be Mahreezah, Keeper of the Menagerie (consisting only of racehorses and cats). I worship at the altar of Northern Dancer whenever Leonardo, the Chief Cat, gives me time off.

    (It’s the actual pronunciation of my name so I’m sort of boring? Nah. No Hoard Member can ever be boring.)

  275. I am from Florida in the USA and I like my name. Either Kelley or Ice, it rolls off the tongue. Most humans can pronounce it without any trouble at all and it’s pretty short.

  279. From the country Canada, here I be VespereX, follower of the Shiny Ball, Champion of the Feather Wand, Shredder of Paper.

  283. Greeting!

    Originally from Bosnia and now hailing from Greensboro NC, USA!

    *waving majesticly*

    – Helen of the Spears

  287. I’m physically here in the USA, but like to think of myself mentally in a galaxy far, far away. 🙂

    My name would be Moonlight

  289. Entering from Oklahoma, USA
    Sabine

    An ode to my favorite childhood fantasy author, Tamora Pierce’s Beka Cooper saga AND my current favorite LitRPG character (Eric Ugland’s Good Guys series) who didn’t give himself a last name when he went was transported to a new world

  291. 1) USA

    2) Eliza the not-quite-a-dimwit

    They would always underestimate me. Then when things work out right I could yell
    “See I’m not quite a dimwit aren’t I?”
    yelled with some weird mashup of a cockney accent and a Scottish one. Don’t know why, that’s just how it comes out.

  295. I’m from Bulgaria. My real name is Antoniya –– and I’ve always been called Antoniya. No pet name, no nick name, nothing. Every single Antoniya I’ve ever met was called Tony (it’s a gender-neutral name in our country) or Niya, or something… Not me.

    However I think of myself as Aya. When I was a kid I read a short story where that name was used. And I loved it! I don’t remember the story. I think it was about a horse but I’m not sure. That name though <3

    According to wikipedia Aya means:
    – sword is Old German
    – design, colorful or beautiful in Japanese
    – wonderful, amazing, miracle or verse in Arabic
    – to fly swiftly or bird in Hebrew
    – goodness, music, melody in Mongolian

    I think that the short story was about the times when our country was under Ottoman rule. And the name had some Turkish connections… In the Turkish mythology, Aya symbolizes the good soul. The benevolent angels that live in the sky are also called Ayas. The word comes from Ay, which means moon. And ayaçı means creative soul.

    So… I would LOVE to be Aya.

  296. Entering from Cypress, Texas USA. If I entered into this story, I would go as myself using my current nickname, Shannon.

  297. Entering from California, USA. As it is currently cookie season and I am going slightly (okay, maybe more than slightly…) insane, my name is: Cat, the Supreme Goddess of Cookie Chaos Coordination.

  302. Zaraiya Haven, Collector of Hobbies, Mxtress of Their Domain

    I’m in the US. This was fun to think about!

  309. 1. USA
    2. Caratacus Kratz – it would be my male Harry Potter character name. It’s got that weird old British feeling and then well Kratz really is my last name.

    I feel like this was a missed opportunity with my son 🤣.

  312. I’m from the UK, and I’d have to be Claire the Chalant (alliteration and proud horde membership on display ☑)

  313. I’m from Wisconsin, USA.
    My name would be Marie X, from the island of Empath, a wandering protector of emotional health aiding those who ask for help.

    an aside, Mod R, great name you created!!

  314. Janilee Naha Janet

    USA

    My cats however would be Calamity Jynx, Shoestring Slayer and Tigger, Thunderpaws.

  315. It’s so fun to read the comments! The Horde is so creative!

    From the US
    I’d keep my name of Kallie since it’s fairly rare.

    Thank you!!

  317. I’m from the Midwest in the USA.

    My name would be Xysphen. I would be known as the Iron Fist, in accordance to what my husband named my Netflix profile. 😆

  321. My real name in my original form is Dianara Stormreaver, Mistress of. the Silver Hunt. Unfortunately I have been transported into a book where I am a woman of a certain age trying to navigate the south USA. Each day is a battle to continue my quest without my secret being discovered.

  323. I am in Canada. My name would be John the REMF, Sutler or Quartermaster Extraordinaire to the Adventurer and Mercenary Trade.

    Also known as “that careful old dude who lives a quiet, comfortable life in a nice city where he has a shop that specializes in selling fancy equipment at extortionate prices to all the eager and reckless young Adventurers before they rush out to die.”

    In most fantasy or historical settings, the swordsmiths, armourers, sutlers, chandlers and similar purveyors of goods to the adventurer or mercenary trade generally don’t have a lot of repeat clientele. But there is a neverending supply of fresh young idiots to outfit for their own one-way trips to … uhm … Fame and Riches and Glory.

  326. USA
    Paru the Patient and Kind

    (Do not mock me!!!! patient and kind, patient and kind… repetition will make it so.)

  329. I’m from the U.S. of A. here from little ol California.

    I love the Kate Daniels series and my friends call me charles!
    So I chose Charles Graves! I don’t know if you could tell but I would really hope for piloting skills so I could be like Ghastek!
    🧛

  333. 1. Currently resident in Austria, from the U.S., but presumably entering for the PDF ARC.

    2. I would LOVE to be in the world of Hidden Legacy, but only if I had magic. My name would be my name, absolutely. Siobhan.

    2A. The very first fanfiction I ever wrote in my head* was me on PERN, obviously as a queen rider. My name there was Cait. I mean I know this is an extra answer, and won’t get me a second entry, but those books were just so foundational for me.

    ___
    *Which, since I’ve never seen the point of NOT making myself a Mary Sue, is where it stays.

  337. USA
    Lyra Mendelyeva, The PeriodicaL

    (Ai came up with that based on what it knows of me as a chemistry tutor and scientist) 😂

  339. Country: US
    Fantasy Name: Arei*
    *a remix of my middle name, and my avatar’s name in every game since I was 12.

  342. My name would be Winella because I will survive and win and take down all opposition !
    I’m in England United Kingdom

  343. Texas, USA here!

    The first DnD character I created I ended up never getting to play. The longer she waits, the more itchy I get to step into a world with her.

    Ravenna Corvus, Venna when traveling with strangers.

  344. I’m in the US. I think I would stick with Nicole. I always thought my name was a little plain, so it would be cool to see a Nicole being the main character of an epic fantasy.

  345. USA. I’ve always loved those really long names that can be shortened into boy names. The series I’m reading now has Miscellandreax shortened to Max. I’d be Alex from Alexandra

  348. USA

    Name: Veronica Capwell (it is the name I always use for my “alternative” self. I always loved the name Veronica and was going to name my first girl child that. But the universe decided that I would not be giving birth to a child so instead I adopted 4 from foster care and they came with their own names. So now I use this one for all my fantasy adventures)

    I have inserted Veronica into Kate and Inkeeper and although it took me a couple of re reads I have finally found a place for her in HL.

  351. I’m from the US.

    I actually JUST started a D&D campaign for the first time, so I am pretending this very thing! My character is a sorcerer rabbit-creature named Randolph the Purple. Imaginary nickel for guessing what color he is🐇

  352. oooh, I am in Canada and I think my name would be like Jayge the All-Knowing because I definitely would mess up at some point and let it be known I know more than i should.

    or Jaige the Fatechanger – because i would (hopefully) save someone who was predicted to die or something fun.

    i also know i probably would survive like fifteen minutes in a world like that but we dream, lol

    also feel like a random y or i needs to be added to my name lmaooo or like more vowels “Jaiege”

  353. Hello from Romania.

    My name will probably be something quite common in the setting of the book to go with the description “that unremarkable person that all the way back in the crowd”.

  356. Well, I’m from the UK and already called Maggie, so I suppose I would have to take a new name, something along the lines of Lady Ysielin Furax, Devourer of Chocolate and Wielder of the Holy Oven Glove.

  357. USA, though I’m originally from England!

    Honestly, I’d probably just go by my name, Rachel, because I’d worry that I’d forget I was supposed to be going by another name 🤣
    Also, most of those books don’t have a Rachel 🤔
    I know it’s kind of boring. but if you’re busy trying to stay alive, keeping something familiar might be necessary for your own sanity!

  358. I am in the Netherlands. And if I was transported to a book, I’d try and find a name that blended in, because being in a strange book world is enough without standing out more. With no restrictions I’d go for something like Lule or Luljeta.

  362. United States

    Kendiara Perdue- Its been my game name since I started. A mix of Kenderhome and the French for lost, which if I ended up in a portal fantasy would be pretty appropriate.

  364. USA

    and honestly I would probably go by my name of Lela because it’s already a little odd gets mispronounced a lot and not very common.

  366. I’m from the US.

    I get stumped that’s why I read amazing authors who have amazing imaginations.
    Mod R – I love the name you chose!!! As always this post made me smile!! Happy Friday!

    Kareny, The Unimaginable One

  368. Good afternoon.

    I’m live in the USA (Kentucky, to be specific) and my name would be Crystal the Curious…I’m sort of nosy!

  371. Greetings from Canada.

    I would go by Diana the Librarian since if I ever ended up in a fantasy setting I would much prefer working a low risk job surrounded by books rather than the scary stuff Maggie needs to deal with. I’m hoping I would be able to leverage my magical literacy to get a fun job working with arcane manuscripts!

  372. I’m in the USA, Nebraska to be specific and if I didn’t use my own name, I might go with Kayeri as a name. She’s my first online computer game character and I still play on her 20+ years later. =)

  373. Greece.
    My name would be Vaeta the fair, and people would come to me to solve their problems and disagreements.

  374. From US (New York)

    I think I’d actually keep my name, it’s unique enough to stand on its own. Maybe I’d change the spelling – drop an “N” and go by Carina 😂

  376. I live in the US

    If I was transported into any book, I would be Samira. And hopefully, Samira Who Lives a Nice Long Life and Dies of Old Age

  378. I’m in Ohio, USA.

    I would probably name myself something deceptively simple like D’Avid just to see people read it and try to figure out the correct pronunciation.

  379. From Canada here!

    I’d probably be known as Eda the Observer. Forever standing in a corner gaping as the book I loved reading unfolds before my very eyes. 😁

    Good Luck everyone! And thank you HA for doing this giveaway . 💕💕

  386. Hello from the the USA!

    I would be Lyrica, The Traveling Bard. Where is she from? No one really knows exactly. Where will she play next? Also, no one knows. But you can be sure as soon as her and her mystical harp appear, the entire village will flock to her to hear her magical melodies.

  387. I am from the US!

    My chosen name would probably be something that I thought would blend in, so it would depend on the world! But if I were adding fun epithets in a safe place, it would probably be something like Meg the Pup-Cuddler.

  392. USA. And I would say Danielle the Unremarkable or Danielle the Background character. I imagine that would be the safest option for me.

  393. Im from the US, my name would be Tigritsya the third of her name, the breakers of bulls and consumer of marrow

  394. USA (Texas to be precise).

    Name? I think I would go with Tricia. It’s a nickname I’ve had forever.

    Good luck everyone!

  396. USA

    Rhizotelda Oompher was a character name I made up long ago for reasons I can no longer remember. I think I’ll dust it off and use it in the Innkeeper universe while hanging out in Baha-char.

  399. I’m from the US, and I’d likely go by Esme (in the hopes that I might channel the wisdom of the great Granny Weatherwax).

  401. Hello from Madrid, Spain!!!!!

    My name will be Winnyfer, The Fearless.
    because Sharrim it’s already taken…

  402. Canada – I would choose “Winnie”, after my grandmother “Winnifred”, not after Pooh. Lol. Whether I win or not, I am very much looking forward to reading a new book.

  403. I’m in the USA.

    I would just go by “Auntie.” That way I would always sound like someone everyone knows.

  404. In the US

    My name in games of any type always start with a hard K sound and then some sort of T sound. I like Katriel the most.

    Can’t wait to read the book!

  405. I live in the UK and my fantasy name would be Rita Ofbooks because Americans pronounce my name as ‘Rida’ which always sounds like “reader” to me. So, a little wordplay there. Hide in plain sight and all that.

  406. I am from UAE. My name would be Smyrn the truth seeker. I would be looking past the veils of illusion to seek the truth.

  409. I’m from the US and would love to be called Evie Wilde. I’ve always been a Pokémon fan and a lover of the outdoors. If that came with power over plants it would be icing on the cake.

  410. I’m from the USA. And because I read a lot of fantasy books, have what I’m told is a large imagination, but not very creative on my own (I can follow an advanced knitting pattern, shape it as needed, but cannot write one!) I need help in the process. And with this I feel like I was given a challenge, so I got help. All of that to say, this is what I would be called (but don’t credit me on it as I had help, but I still like it)!

    Zyraeth Moonsunder, Oathbound Mother of the Hollow Radiance, Keeper of the Severed Light

    And because I had help, there is also a prophecy!

    The Prophecy of the Hollow Radiance

    When the moon is cleft and the sky remembers its wound,
    The Mother shall rise from oath and shadow.
    She will gather the light that was cast out,
    And bind it not with mercy — but with will.

    Nine shall kneel.
    One shall break.
    And in the silence between heartbeats,
    Her Radiance shall devour the dawn.

  413. I’m from Germany.

    My new name would bei Chrissy which can be shortend to Chris if more anonymity ist needes.

  414. I’m from England!
    I think a nod back to my Irish roots would be Maeve .. and at least it’s one people can pronounce! Haha

  415. United States here. I would choose Ineke, in honor of my late grandmother (I always thought she was exotic and cool)

  416. I’m in the US.

    I think my name would stay the same, Natalie – although maybe the spelling would change to Natalyee.

  417. Hello from the USA!

    My name would be Belle because that’s the name I use for most characters in most games I play, due to having little to no imagination and an unhealthy obsession with the Disney version of Beauty & the Beast as a child.

  418. I’m from the USA ! I would just use my own name as my mom named me after Samantha’s cousin, Serena. If you’ve watched the show then “iykyk” … as the kids say lol.

  422. I’m from the U.S.

    My character name would be Therina, font of wisdom and patience until she is not. Then she is the wielder of fearful, inescapable CONSEQUENCES!

  423. Anne from Germany. I would be Ylena Elvaren, which has been my go to fantasy game name for 20 years now. I would be a Healer, my regular role in Elder Scrolls Online.

  424. I am in the United States, and my name would also be Maggie (which used to be my nickname when I did Renaissance Faire)!

  425. Hello! I’m from the US, and I would keep my name — Melissa. I would only introduce myself by that name and would play with the confusion that can cause.

    Thank you for the giveaway! Can’t wait to read the book!!! ☀️

  426. From gery, cold, drippy Western Washington state.

    My name would be Grace of Grumpiness. Living a good life inspite of other people. And autocorrect that is crazy.

  432. Hello,
    From Colorado USA

    Name should be Carlytta, Jenaez Al-zyymm—the wisdom seeker-

    So excited and so grateful for all the wonderful stories

  433. Greetings from the United States in cloudy Ohio. It was sunny and warmer a few minutes ago but now its windy and we are expecting snow this weekend.

    My name would probably be Mary.

  434. Hello from Canada,

    I am also on a D&D campaign. I am a water troll who was found in a forest when young and raised by Druids (so I mistakenly think I am a wood troll). The druids named me Mangy (I think it is Mang gee) Dochas.

    Life is hard for the evil born, raised by the good and inhabiting the rank of chaotic neutral but with help from my trusty, turkey buzzard familiar named Ella and her partner Sam, I will stumble on until I find my stank, still water haven.

  435. From the US of AHHHHHHHHHHH (you know why)

    Ira keeper of dreams from the galleries of stone from Milbrandt,CJ

  436. I’m from Gloucestershire England,
    My fantasy name would be, Marc the Sagger-Makers Bottom Knocker.

  437. Greetings from cold, grey, damp Western Washington.
    My name would be Grace inspite of Autocorrect. This sentence took several attempts to write as autocorrect is grumpy today.

  438. Bonjour from France!

    I made a pact when I was 14 with my best friend that, if we were transported into another world, we should use the name of this one girl we didn’t like, “Alizée”. The idea was that it’d be easier to find each other in the fantasy world of we shared the same fake name, and also that if we got arrested or anything, we wouldn’t set into trouble, Alizée would.

    (We also decided to use her last name, which I will not share for privacy reasons)

  441. My book name would be Calista Inkbrew — scholar, maker, and creator of legendary potions best enjoyed with a good book.

  442. I’m in the USA!

    My name would be …. Likely dependent on the book and the culture? I wouldn’t want to stick out like a sore thumb, like if I was named Sweet Buttered Biscuits in the USA.

    Let’s go with Millie!

  443. I’m from the US and my name would
    Be Katalya Zhander. No titles because I’m a simple shopkeeper/cafe owner trying to survive by remaining uninteresting

  445. Which country you’re from:
    Reno, Nevada, USA

    What your name would be, if, like Maggie, you would find yourself transported into a book (any book, by any author):
    Fred.

  448. Kia Ora from New Zealand, Arachniad Mistress of the bow.

    I played WoW for a long time and this toon is still my fav

  451. I’m from the US. My name would be Kaylee, because she is still my favorite character after all these years even though Firefly was only one short season long.

  455. USA here!

    And I supposed if I could pick any name it would be Naomi, simply because I’ve always loved it 😆

  457. I also hail from Soggy Isle, I reside in Londinium. if there was ever a fan meet in the UK, that would be beyond splendid!

    I think I would like to be known as Lina (chunk of my actual name), the Arcane Archivist. I wonder if they have Excel or Google Sheets in Kair Toren?

  460. I’m from Finland. If I landed in another world the first thing I would do is find a library. So Eevi Searcher of Knowledge.

  462. I think I‘ll stick to Mai – a nickname I‘ve used before as (I was surprised to discover) my actual name is hard to pronounce for english speakers 😅

    Writing from Germany.

  463. Greetings from Michigan, USA!

    My name would be Elizandra; a mash up of my first and middle names stemming from my Kindergarten days when I couldn’t actually remember where all the various parts of my full name were supposed to go, so I just slapped together some interesting combinations of my own.

  466. I am from the U.S., and my name would be Meadowlark, the First Dedicate of the Sunseekers, the Shimmer of the Bright Glass, Tender of Plants

  467. United States

    If I was transported into a book (especially the types of books I like to read) my name would be Dea D.

    Because I would be dead. Darwin may have had something going there. I would not survive long).

  468. I’m from the US and I’d take advantage of the situation to change my name to Flora Merryweather. I grew up a big Sleeping Beauty fan because of the artwork, the symbolism of the three good fairies, and the woodland and animals.

  480. I am from the U.S.
    I would be Alexandra or Alex for short. I have always loved that name and it would be easier to pass as male. I would likely fall into some sort of scholar camp so I can have access to books.

  483. From the UK.

    Definitely a dragon rider in Anne McCaffrey’s Pern books. Because….dragons*! The character names aren’t too wild in those books, so I’d probably go for a name like Cina.

    *my choice would be more complex if there was a Puffles book, but *ahem*, I’m not hinting.

  485. I’m from the United States
    My name would be Lurline-this is my legal name given to me by my mother, and it is her legal name. I’ve always felt that it is more of an old-fashioned name, and I feel like it would fit right in if I was ever transported into a realm like the one in this book.

  489. Country: United States
    Name: Lady Vivienne (it’s what I wouldve named my child if he has been a girl). As for lady, hopefully id be mobility because I wouldn’t do well struggling like Maggie! My survival skills are zero

  490. which country you’re from: USA
    what your name would be:
    My name is Sarah, and I’ve never had a decent nickname, so I’d tell people my name was “Rah” (my favorite jackbox nickname)

    I’d be
    Doloon od tsetseg (Seven Star Flower) of the mighty Order of the free booklovers

    I am from Germany

  493. I’m from Canada and think I’d keep my own name, if only to have one less thing to think about after being dropped into a book. 🙂

  494. United States
    Cindy the Traveler because I moved to South Carolina for work eight years ago and then moved back to Kentucky to be with family ( i didn’t say I traveled a lot, lol)

  495. If I found myself in a book, I’d likely go by something close-to-but-not-quite my own name, so something like Anya or Annika. Anything but Annie.

    I’m in the US, and I stopped going by Annie by age 8 when I was going to rip the face off the next person who sang “Tomorrow” in my face.

  497. In the US.

    Bre, mother of Giants, of the land locked Horde (my 10 yr old son is my height and I’m from the US Midwest 🤷‍♀️)

    (I’m no good at this, but love your name, Mod R!)

    Thank you! 🤗

  498. I am from the Netherlands.
    My name would be The Bookworm. No first or last name, because nobody remembers my name, they only see me reading, see my shocked expressions or hear my exclamations whilest walking against objects and muttering to myself.

  499. Hi I am from the US.
    I would choose to be Marguerite the heroine of the Scarlet Pompernel by Emmuska Orczy. One of my favorite books!

  502. I’m in the US.

    I would be Moira the Indomitable, and I would own the best magical bakery in the land 😀

  507. 1. United States!

    2. Jia En, because it’s sort of my real name in Chinese and lord knows if I’m transmigrating somewhere it’s going to be into a chinese drama.

  508. Country: South Africa

    My go to name is Annie. I read a lot of Isekai’s and some you start out as a baby or in young bodies so a name that is easily pronounceable is good.

    I’m so hyped for Maggie 🙂

  511. USA

    I’d be The Wooly Ba, Fiber Sage, Color Magpie, Captain of Team Support.

    I’ve been spinning and playing with fiber and yarn for over 30 yrs, I looooove color and am a natural born caretaker of people, animals and plants.

    I’m sooooo looking forward to the release of the
    Is book!!

  513. I am from the US. I would be what my family calls me, Sissy, as Lisa is the most used name of the 1960s. There were five of us in my typing and accounting class in high school. Two were named Lisa Jones. My brothers couldn’t say my name when we were toddlers so I was sister which became sissy.

  515. So waitful, so patient 🥹

    Bulgarian here, enjoying the warm sun of Southern California where I have made my forever home.

    Signed: Ekita Celest, Forever her name and yet to be written

  522. I’m in the US! And my name would likely be “the quiet one” because I’d be trying to keep my mouth shut at all times out of nerves lol

  523. Im from the UK and I have always liked Alyss as a name. The name got vito-ed by my other half when it came to naming our girls so adopting it in a fantasy world will have to do. 😀

  527. I am from California, and if I were transported into any book, honestly I would wanna go try to befriend Kate daniels. Probably not the safest pick, but that is my comfort series. I would stick to my own name or use my middle name maybe? Erin. Maybe combine it with my first name and do Aerin. My father passed a little over a year ago and I miss him so damn much. He decided my middle name and lately I have found myself grateful for things like my name which can never be taken from me and my parents gave me.

  529. 1. Belgium
    2. Raya (meaning: friend, queen, paradise, flowing, celebration, perfume) Dua (meaning: prayer, love)

  531. Hi everyone 😁
    Im originally from Haiti, but I immigrated in the US some time ago!

    I asalways l loved that name since I watch the original Leverage tv show, and Parker’s character was my fav!

  535. Monica, from the US, and I would like to be a Monica in a fantasy world. No one else seems to have my name.

  538. Hello,
    Amalia from Europe -Romania here.
    my fantasy name would be Lady Camelia Mooney, juggler of Chaos.

  541. I’m from the USA.
    I would be Lady Tamar, the Righteous Defender. I don’t know how that would go if I ended up in a more contemporary novel, like Hidden Legacy or another world that doesn’t really have nobility or nicknames like that 🙂

  542. Im from the UK and if I fell into a book my name would be Vaelara. Thank you fantasy name generator 😅

  545. USA

    My name would be something space related, Cassiopeia the Fallen (Cassie for short) and fallen because it sounds ominous lol

  551. I’m in the US, close enough to Baltimore to see you soon!

    Allie

    It’s my kinda real life name, anyway, but of my own choosing.

  553. 1. US
    2. Euryale, any book featuring Greek mythology, because who wouldn’t want to be Medusa’s sister??

  557. I live in the United States, and if I was transported into a book, I would use the name Jennice Snyder. At least I would not have to be constantly explaining that my name is NOT ‘Judith’, which I got sick of many long years ago.

  558. I’m in the USA and I don’t have Maggie’s derring do, so I guess my name would probably be Mudd.

  562. I’m from the US. In a Squirrel Girl novel I would be an abstract entity known as The Connector. A rival of The Collector, Inalso find uniquely valuable things, but instead of hoarding them I given them to a person who could make the most positive life changing use of whatever it is

  564. I’m from the US! I think there’s alot of fantasy worlds out there where true names are important so I’d probably go with Sitka!

  565. Switzerland.

    My fantasy name would be Tünde Kiss (Tünde is my second name, and Kiss – pronounced “kish” – was my maternal grandmother’s maiden name, meaning “small” in Hungarian).

  566. I’m in the US

    I’d like to be a strange but secretly nice old witch in the woods, tending her plants and animals, helping people but grumbling the whole time. Mad Anja sounds nice. (finally realized I wanna be the godmother from Nettle and Bone)

  569. Country : France

    I would start with something simple and familiar, like Lilly, then when I would probably get nicknames appropriate to my high deeds, like She-who-reads-all-night or The-incredible-sleepyhead…

  570. 1. USA
    2. Jularia Sa’andarnyx, Unsmelled by the East Winds

    Or my gaming name – Jazz Hands Chicken Butt

    One of those

  572. I’m Minh from Hanoi, Vietnam, and my go-to book fantasy name has always been Emery Nightale, for no particular reason than I like how it sounds! 🥰

  574. I would be Eyrene, Nap Queen and Mother of Storms.

    But in today’s USA, I’m Erin, tired and mom to a dog named stormy

  575. USA. If I was transported into a book I’d like to be named Scoobymadoody cause that would just make me laugh everytime I had to read it.

  580. US (Delaware)

    I would be transported to “Radiance” by Grace Draven, I would be a Kai named Daraset, only a Kai with a complete understanding of humans. Thus, making it easy to become a friend to Ildiko!

  581. I’m from the US.

    I’d go with Belle – the coffee shops can never hear Val and my name ends up as Bell. I’m adding the E to be **fancy** lol

  582. I’m from Germany, in Europe.

    Hmm, Mara, Guardian of the Library, Mistress of the Tea Leaves, First of her name to walk the stacks

  586. I live in the USA.

  587. I live in America. My book name would be April from the Lumberjanes series that my Granddaughter and I read together.

  588. USA
    David the Confused – because who wouldn’t be suddenly finding themselves in a few world.

  591. Canada

    I would use Akya, it’s been a gaming nickname for ages.

    Thank you for doing this giveaway, hope the writing for Maggie 2 goes well 🙂

  605. United States.
    Jenny the Rampant Cheese Enthusiast
    (Title stolen from a character in the ‘Liches Get Stitches’ series. Is it really stealing though if it describes me to a T? I think not.)

  607. Oooh, I am in the US and I would definitely go for something peak fantasy and vaguely superhero-inflected: Alietza, the Light of ArkTar or something. Like Death’s granddaughter, I was stuck with Susan irl, and as Pratchett observes, it’s basically the most prosaic possible option.

  610. 1. Australia
    2. Feisty Cakes Malone, The Mighty Ferret Whisperer!

    Giggling at the increasingly zany names I came up with during my one person brain storming session.

  632. 1. USA (Texas 😉 )
    2. Marlena (I’m not creative enough to come up with a wild name, but my parents clearly were, and I’m coasting on that.)

  635. USA (not a proud member these days)
    Id stick with my name probably, Sara the Undying has a nice ring to it.

  636. I live in the United States and if I woke to find myself in a portal book world my name would be Betty of the Quiet Temple

  638. Sweden!

    Innej, the collector of books and bits & bobs

    What a fun idea, it’s like getting to know the true name of everyone!

  639. United States

    Zara Claw of the White Bear Rider’s of the Icy Tundras of Isolation and Despair in the Far Reaches of Pandora

  649. USA resident
    Laura Vimes
    I would stick with my first name as ease of confusion when someone calls your name. last name would be great to make one of the nice powerful people think you might be related.

  650. new zealand
    Jo L
    currently id love to go be part of the retired assassins guide to gardening. new author to me and I keep going back to re read bits!

  651. US

    Kit the Cat Herder – Of Doom

    (I want to be isekaid as the benevolent villainess since they always have more fun in anime. And I want cat familiars with thumbs and wings. And they need to be able to talk – if and when they feel like it.)

  660. US

    I’d be Kate the Ridiculous – and go around solving problems like George, putting together things in entirely unexpected ways that nobody things will ever work – and a smile on my face, because I KNOW I’m ridiculous.

  665. Greetings from Canada! I’m an ER nurse but clumsy af! 🙃 😅

    If I were transported into a book, my name would be: Zyra Mabelryn, Harbinger of Mild Inconvenience and Questionable Decisions

    — ER healer by day, accidental overlord by night, absolutely capable of saving life… but possibly setting something on fire first.

  667. 1. United States
    2. Cookie

    I am *very* chalant and I can’t wait for This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me to release!

  669. I’m going to have to stick with Laura, but pronounce it the way Spanish speakers do, because that sounds so much prettier.

    And I’m in the US.

  671. 1. Germany
    2. Jack the Prudent of Impulsive Decision Making Fame from the County of Cautious Spontaneity

  673. I’d keep my name Lisa because I doubt I’d remember to respond to anything else. 😅
    Greetings from the US.

  674. Eve, Mother of Obstreperous cats, living in the US.
    May I pile on to the many other comments admiring how Mod R’s book name is actually pronounceable?
    If I could be in any series, I would want to be in the DiscWorld, preferably living on Scoone Avenue (but not TOO close to Lady Sibyl’s Dragon Sanctuary)!

  676. 1.Greece
    2. I would be named Antara like the stormy sea, and I would love to be a lady knight with extraordinary fighting skills,magic and storm brewing in my eyes, when the occasion calls for it@!hehehe

  677. Little Cayman, Cayman Islands

    Can’t wait any longer…

    Would really love do not need scuba when I’m underwater. So maybe somewhere they have gills?

  678. US

    Cortland Ashley
    (I think my name would fit right in with most roles/genres)

    Hopefully you and the RNG like my submission!
    (wondering if I should sacrifice a chicken to the gods of technology today)
    ::thoughtful/pondering face::

  680. If it’s fantasy Jack. If I’m trying to hide Jack. If it is Star Wars/ Dr. Who/ Star Trek D’Jack (the D is silent). if it is Kate Universe/ Hidden Legacy/ Innkeeper John but I go by Jack, and this is all to protect my real name Tracer

  683. Germany

    Kaylia

    And I want to add I really appreciate your Blog and all the Ressources you put in to make it a Save & happy Space to Go to!

  690. US

    Alexandra (Alex) Jo
    – for one of my favorite names (Alexandra) and Jo (Josephine) from Little Women.

  695. usa, and i think would stick with Kristina. gotten really used to being called by it at this point 😝

  696. My name (real one) is Carmen, from Spain. Proud owner of all your books.
    I’ll be delighted to be able to read this last one so soon and not needing to wait!!
    So, the name I would choose if entering, for example, one of your Sweep books, it will be mine, because It has got a beautiful meaning both in latin or arabic, so is apt for any kind of character.
    Thanks a lot for your wonderful work, and please keep going!

  698. Lexi R (US by way of Philly):

    Alexandra Ravensblood, Shadowed by Cat, Minion of Toddler, Third of her Name, Buttkicker of Breast Cancer

  710. 😱
    1. UK

    2. I’d still be Nadia if I found myself transported into a book, I think it’d fit right in no matter the genre 😂

    (Technically a repeat comment because I accidentally managed to post the original as a reply to someone else and wasn’t sure if that would still count, sorry for any confusion it was totally not intentional ❤️)

  718. I wouldn’t know which name to pick.
    I may want a gentle name like Marie or something more tomboy. Maybe Danika. hard choice. maybe Zarie. lol
    I am from crappy old Ohio U.S. unfortunately been here all my poor life. Can I have money in my story. I’ve always wanted to go to Scotland or Iceland. So many places. but stuck.

  720. Tennessee, USA

    I would either be Raven deWinter or Shadowen, like my email. Either way I’d be the morally questionable, mysterious type who helps out from time to time then wanders off until I reappear just in the nick of time to provide the crucial clues or help that saved me day. 🤪

  721. 1. USA

    2. In every universe my OC is named Lyanthia Grae, she has lived a thousand lives and will live thousands more before her journeys end.

  722. So excited for Maggie!! Thanks for giveaway!

    I’m from the US and I’d probably be something like “Kait the curmudgeonly, treasurer of teas”

  725. Thank House Andrews for your gracious care of the Horde!
    Thank you, Moderataria Rhae’zalyndrix, for your creativity and gracious wrangling of the Horde!
    Country of Origin: United States
    Moniker: Alexa (context : I have written (only in my mind) novel length adventures since I was in high school in the 80s with myself as the badass female who is typically going it alone with mad skills. Her name has always been Alexa whether she was WW2 fighter pilot, Viper pilot, X-Wing pilot, half elf mercenary or 1700s French assassin for hire.
    Sending peace, health and safety to all!

  727. 1. The Once-united States of America
    2. Alexandria, Daughter of Doomed Knowledge

    (So so much excitement for the giveaway, AND it’s on the day of a major exam for me…Hopefully I’ll get lucky in at least one sector of life that day lol)

  729. USA – Glorfindel, like the head of NASA in the Martian. It is a name on which it is hard to improve.

  730. From Chile! I’d love a name that’s very fitting for a fantasy world but has a cute nickname, like Tiffany (for Teophania). Really love that!

  735. USA

    My own name, since it’s unique enough that most people have a problem pronouncing it the correct way, and I end up with a bunch of different ones in the end 😀

  742. I am in the US and I would go by Sami still because I dont think I’d remember to respond to a new name 🤣

  743. US of A
    I will be Zorayda Felix, an edger that travels both the Weird and the Broken as ambassador in the Edge Series.

  746. 1. United States of America
    2. I would be known as Dr. Jordyn Selachielle, shark-whisperer, baker of morale-boosting pastries, consumer of alarming quantities of Diet Coke, and wielder of a PhD powerful enough to defeat both dragons and poorly designed assays.

  747. I’m in the US, and if I were transmigrated, I’d probably be called the Witch Doctor, since I’m currently a medical student, and that’s my only marketable skill. Bringing my modern medical knowledge to a place like Rellas will likely get me branded as a witch or an apostate, especially as a girl, haha!

  751. I am Anne of the Snows (due to the unusual icy snow we recently had here in Northern Virginia) and I am a resident of the sometimes benighted USA. By the way Anne of the Snows was pulled from a minor character in a cosy mystery MURDER AT THE WAR by Mary Monica Pulver which I lately re-read and enjoyed as much as the first time I read it.

    Anne in Virginia

  753. UK, specifically Wales

    I like to think it would be a slightly off version of my name, like Elyza or Lizbith. Or I’d reinvent myself and become Alanna, because that’s a name that knows how to survive trials

  756. 1. From the United States
    2. Helene Wildwarden – Speaker for the Voiceless.

    Thank you so much for this opportunity!

  757. 1. USA
    2. Kat the Curious (Because I am both inquisitive and strange! Especially, I’m sure, to whatever culture I end up isekai’d to.)

  758. USA (unfortunately, at least right now 😞)

    I feel like I would be called “Lena the Traveller” as I’ve lived in two continents, four countries, three states, and eleven cities all before the age of 25 so I feel I can be pretty much be dropped anywhere on the globe at this point and find my way / adapt. 😆

  764. I’m from the United States. Since knowing someone’s name gives you power over them in some stories, I’d probably pick a new one that reminds me of home, like Lillie of Larksfield or something.

    Can’t w**t for the book’s release!

  769. USA
    Nana would be my name – it has become my identity and well earned title, lol, and it is very precious to me.

  770. I am Ethel Molly, named for a cow and a dapple grey horse so I would be useful and nurturing wherever I dropped 🙂 True story about the name, by the way, just not mine. I am in Canada.

  773. England, UK and Liriel, although really I would have to choose something similar to my actual name or I would never answer to it…

  784. USA is where I am from, and I would be Sarah. I am named Sarah, but I chose to be called this when I was 6 years old. Prior to that, my family called me Marie, (my middle name) and I was known as Marie to everyone. However, after school one in 1st grade, I came home and announced that Marie was a name for little girls, and I would be called Sarah since I was no longer a little girl. I am so strong willed and stubborn, even at 6 years old, that I forced this name change on my family and school…I could never give this name up!

  789. I’m in Canada. Really looking forward to immersing myself in “This Kingdom…”.
    My name would be Memory.

  790. Country USA
    My name would be Barbara. Greenwood maybe for a surname if needed and a hedgewitch by profession. Not Barbie, definitely not Barbarella, although BarbaraEllen would be ok.

  795. The UK

    Francesca, Lady of the Lake that Used to be My Back Garden until the Never-Ending Rain began to Fall.

  796. I’m from Sweden, if I were to end up in a book my name would be Caymille Lazou

  798. North Carolina, USA

    Lady MacGripesalot
    Land of NoMatter How Much I work Out
    Its near ‘round about the middle, and far from Nimble be Quick.

    I am married to Sir Eatsalot, he was born in the land of Never gains an Ounce.

    If you are wanting to visit just win a golden ticket and come on down to The Chocolate Factory! 🤣

    It sure sounds like ModR may be from the familia Vampira?!

  803. I’m from Mexico and, considering I play Sims and read as much as I can, context is key for the name choosing but I’m going with both my grandmother’s last name – one backwards because I’m left-handed lol:

    Zeravla Camiro

    Thank you for doing this international.

  807. I hail from the US, AND I already carry titles from friend and such on the discord server I mod for. I am Empress of Plants, Duchess of Bye Buddy, First of her name The Rook. I’d probably go by Rook.

  815. USA
    I would be boring and just go by my name Brandy. Coming up with character names in games is always so hard 😂

  816. 1- Canada.
    2- Atie Itie, Librarian from Everywhere.

    Two titles given to me by the many, many kids who call me Auntie; and thought my spare room was an actual library (Too be fair, it probably looked like one to a young kid). I can pull weird random tidbits out at the oddest times too. Then I go down the rabbit hole searching for more information.

  823. California. Usually part of the USA, but sometimes you wonder…

    I would go by Jenthra Farseeker. A Hero System’s character I played for many years.

  824. Australia.

    My own name would be ok for visiting the Innkeeper’s world. Jennifer. Hopefully I wouldn’t find out if I need to add an attribute like the undying to my name.

  826. I’d use the Egyptian throne name I made up with friends at university whilst I was studying hieroglyphics. I was Nebet Net Wadgewer which translates to The Lady of the Sea (or the great blue green if you want to get super literal).

    Real name Rebecca from the UK

  830. USA

    If I got transported into a fantasy realm I could see it playing out like it did for Faith in the Aspect and Anchor series by Ruby Dixon, where everytime she introduces herself she ends up having to explain that is her real name its actually a normal name where she comes from and it becomes a whole thing.

  832. I who live in the United States of America, Tracora Bis’Dain first of her name would like a book of goodness

    Please of gods of the hordes be kind

  834. Belgium !

    I’d go by the name of Rita, my grandmothers name and it’s also my middle name.
    Coincidentially, Saint Rita is in Belgium also the saint for the ‘hopeless cases’(Dutch = Hopeloze gevallen) and in fase I’d be portaled, would end up in a bunch of funny/special circumstances!

    Daag and a lovely weekend !
    Wendy

  837. I live in Germany.

    My name would be Catsephonie Cuddler of Kitties and Friend of Feline Creatures (and the occasional dog if the opportunity arises)

  838. I’m in Ireland

    ooof difficult question, I totally used to be one of those over the top fantasy names as a teen.

    I’d probably pick something similar enough that I’d recognise but not the same name in case it’s a fantasy magic system where knowing your name matters – e.g. Leila Thorns (although if Loki isn’t a thing there then that name could do too!

  841. I’m from Belgium, and my name would be Myra, lady of the books and yarn, servant to the Great Cat

  851. India, and as my given name is Norse origin, my fantasy name would have to be something like “Eirika Stormveig”

  853. United States. I think I’ll go with a name from a series I’m re-reading right now–Rishe Irmgard Weitzner. I just love how it sounds 😊

  856. United States, and my name would have to be something like Mira the hysterical – I think I would totally freak out for a while 🙂

  859. The US
    Signed,
    Nora the Explora (family nickname for traveling so much), She who wanders when hungry.
    Other Titles by friends and family: queen of tea, she who hears all, cloud hugger.

  860. 1. The US.

    2. Uphaemia the Grey. (My grandmother’s name and there’s no way that I’ve earned my Whites yet.)

  862. US state of Minnesota

    I’m happy to remain an armchair observer of all and any biblio worlds. So just call me the “The Dormant Observer”.

  863. Canada 🇨🇦. Name? Maybe Catalina Baylor. Snappy dresser, brilliant, cooks like a dream. Sings a bit. Also there’s this cute guy who shows up periodically.

  865. 1. USA
    2. My nephew calls me Moo-ry. He’s really into cows.😂
    Probably would end up as Orro’s assistant with a book name like that- I will bring mangoes.

  867. Thanks be to House Andrews 😁. My name would be the honorable lady Lollibuttons because I’d love to see how confused people would be when I tell them. I also doubt I’d forget it was me they were referring to with that name.

  869. I am from the US, and I am going with Ellechim. (Did anyone else agonize over this fun, simple question and then just write something?!)

  871. USA
    Gentry of the Merry Gentries
    (My full first name is Mary Gentry-from Texas had to have a double first name🤓)

  874. United States and I would be afraid of not responding to a new name. So would probably stick with some form of Jennifer to match the local style of naming.

  878. USA, and my name would be Stephania Flamez. it’s been my fantasy name since I was 7 and it’s stuck till now.

  879. I’m from the United States. My name would be “Joyous McFay” from the fighting faes. My name plus my sister’s name + nickname given by my older brother.

  882. I’m in the US (east coast). I think I would be myself — I’m a knitter and spinner and Rachel means ewe.

  883. I’m from the US and my name in a transported world would be Sorjuana Aquilina, Traveling poet and scribe.

  885. I am from Brazil

    I will keep my original name Açucena, like Momonga in Overlord hoping someone from his original world will recognize him.

  887. United States; Elisa (Due to lack of originality and because I possess what is possibly a unique-on-Google full name, which I take as a sign that the universe does not want me messing with it!)

  889. United States (Maryland) and my name would be Klorren, since my given name has become a mockery meme.

  892. Republic of Texas (we were once a country and do not forget it!!)

    United States

    Catrina, the stalwart

    I must be stalwart or insane to teach middle school math for 20 years!

  896. I rather like my given name, and though there are one or two others ( spelled the same)in the world, I am the first (trust me). So…

    United States of America

    Zaena , First of Her Name, Majestrix Kit’teh….

    (Zee, for short.😉😆)

  898. Hi! I’m in the USA, and I would keep my name (Kathryn) but would maybe respell it into fitting with the books local naming customs if they’re different.

  900. United States of America, Arkansas specifically

    My name is Lora from the Kate Daniel series.

    I really enjoyed my drunk self petting the animal at the Mage Society. AND
    Andrea punished too harshly. Aunt Bee would NEVER. Whahahaha

  901. From France, my name would be Blanche Marthe Catherine de Saint- Ours ( My great- grand mother’s, grandmother’s and mother’s names and the hammet where my father is from)

  903. I’m from the US, and my name would be Aurelie, which is the French name I picked for myself when I first started learning it in school.

  904. Love this – thank you!!! I’m from the US, and my name would be Tirwen Blum…ties into my family and married names and means gentle land, connected to flowers.

  905. From United States, my name would be Violet. Friends would call me Vi, and I would do my best to never wear the color.

  906. 1. I’m from the USA.

    2. I would be Prime Wells after being sucked into the Hidden Legacy universe. My House would be magical manipulators of odds and statistics, which seems reasonable since many of us are mathematicians.

  908. USA is my country and my fantasy world name could be Lady Wrenly Grey, Academy Coinmistress (school bookkeeper) 🙂

  909. United Kingdom here and I would be Donne Talitha Carmine Celeste of the Westward Isle, Third Impresa of the Seventh Adjunct at your service.

  911. From the US, and my name would be Laura of the Flame, banking on my red hair to give me some street cred.

  913. From: United States
    Name: I would be Greg Morrow, heir to House Morrow, Prime pattern mage, in Hidden Legacy.

  917. United States, and the name is Devil the Sly. I used that for years in DDO, so still fits. He was a mechanic rogue before the added the artificer class.

  925. I’m from Texas,USA! If I was dropped into a book, I’d like my name to be Anya , a beautiful name which means a lot of different things in different cultures – graceful in Russian, gracious in Latin and “inexhaustible” in Sanskrit to name a few 🙂

  933. I’m from the USA and if I was transported into a book I’m would love my name would be something amazing, witty and ideally profound. But that would require some creativity, and I have the creativity of a bran muffin. The kind that doesn’t even have raisins to make it slightly less lame. 😉

    Which is why I so appreciate the creativity of House Andrews! I can dive into amazing stories I could never come up with in a thousand years. I truly hope you both have many, many more healthy and happy writing years!

  935. From Canada

    I’d be Kuraleth – Kura for short.

    Thanks for the giveaway. I can’t wait for the release – so exciting!! The free preview left off on such an awesome cliffhanger.

  937. I’m from Italy and my name would be Lady Arianna, known as the Bookish Wallflower, if I was transported into any of the Bridgerton books

  940. In and from United States. I’d be Cassandra McKinnon, of the Broken Imagination, blind of the Mind and Faces, seemingly the happiest in the Realm.
    Cassandra McKinnon, Cassie for short, is an actual alias I used as a kid when my friend was banned from ever talking to me (Bridget) again.
    Also I would never, ever want to be sucked into any book that I read- all urban fantasy. If it happened, I would immediately curl into a ball and not move until I died -lol- I could never hack it in those worlds with “monsters”.

  941. From USA, I would probably keep my name Jessica so I don’t have to learn to respond to a different one.

  945. From California, USA. It’s really cold here (43*) and I could really use some wonderful news from House Andrews. Like, oh I don’t know, a BOOK!

  951. I’m from the US.
    My name would be Raymond Oscarson. It translates to mighty or wise protector and I am Oscar’s son,(a nice tribute I think) so….

  952. So excited for Maggie! When I was growing up, I’d always imagine myself as “Genevieve” in fantasy books, given the similarity to Jennifer 🙂 I’m in the US.

  953. I’m in the US. My name would depend on the world but for a fantasy/sci-fi world I’d go with Danir.

  958. I’m from the Low Country of South Carolina in the USA and my name would be my Great Grandmother’s name Salley Wilder

  959. I’m in Canada and cannot wait for this book release! The book version of me would be named Riley.

  965. USA

    I am known as Susan the Chalant, she who rants at all minor inconveniences, former keeper of the F*cks, who is now bereft off all F*cks. All shall love her and chew quietly.

  966. Squee!!!

    I’m in the US

    I’m fairly partial to the name I use online: Rosie. It would be fun to include some sort of qualifier.
    Maybe, Rosie Herder of Cats, Devourer of Stories

  968. I am from Texas, USA. My chosen name would be Kellyn Mac. (Kelly has been a villain’s name too long!)

  970. Hi, I am from the US. I think that I would stick with Ann. It’s quick to write, easy to say, and remember . Since I would be in a new place there would most likely be a lot of things to remember and this would save a step or two. ( why yes, I am boring).

  979. I’m from the USA. My name would be Tourmaline. I hope I end up in a setting that offers indoor plumbing. Tourmaline are pretty rocks that can be rainbow covered as well as the name of a nice beach near me in San Diego.
    Thank you for doing this giveaway.

  980. USA, and my name would be The Crone of Blackwood forest because if I got to live in a fantasy world then by gosh I am going to embrace living alone in the woods and using what I know for “potions” and spells … just to be left alone.

  981. Philadelphia here!
    I’d be Cin Kitty of the struggle, jiggliest of her beloved.
    Mistress of Pavlovas (and all things airy, sweet and crunchy)
    Cinny if you’re a friend 😛
    Thank-you for the giveaway!

  984. I’m from the US. My name would be Augusta , which is my middle name because it would translate well in any kind of historical novel.

  986. In honor of my grandmothers my name would be Nannie Belle Pearl. From the West Coast of the USA. Favorite books – Innkeeper because I could also visit the Edge (hehehehe)

  989. USA. I think my name would be Monique, since that was my parents other name they were thinking of and decided I was a LInda.

  990. I’m from the US.
    My book name would Adelia Phoebe Wyatt, and I would use all 3 just to confuse people.

  991. I’m from Australia and I’d be from a Innkeeper family ( thus have magic) and I’d be a Mary Berry type cook working with Orro and probably annoying him by cooking delicious food without benefit of a whatsamicallit coagulator. My name would be Maud Ripley ( in honour of two of my favourite kick a** female characters in sci fi/ fantasy.

  992. Country is Australia.
    Name would be Aimee the Unrecorded since there would be no record of me existing in this fantasy land.

  994. I’ve had a fascination with two names for a while: Bartolomeo and Tlaloc. Not sure which I’d pick. I guess it would depend on the world/environment I land in?

    In the US.

  999. I am from the US.
    I am so unoriginal. Let’s go with Mary for a name. 😬

    Hopefully that means I can blend in…

    I cannot wait for this book to drop. the sample cut off was perfect. I’m so invested in Maggie already. 🤣 here’s to waiting patiently. 🤞

  1002. Hi, from a little corner of the PNW USA called Anacortes.
    My name would be Lee the Lucky Mage.
    Wishing the BDH all the luck!

  1004. Thanks for this opportunity! I’m from the USA.

    Since I’m an M name, I’d probably stick with it. If I wanted something androgynous I’d shorten to Mel, or something a bit more barsa, probably Magnolia.

  1005. I’m from the United States. If I was transported into a book, I’d keep my name (Raina) but give myself a fancy title…like the Sariv.

  1007. A resident of Indiana–home of the Hoo Hoo Hoosiers! Thank you for the fun opportunity to name ourselves and the incentive to look up the meaning of my name. It is certainly much greater than I, however I choose Ma Dame Jeanna. (A name I disliked as a child and youth because few pronounced it correctly, but now I enjoy the uniqueness.)

  1008. Im in Australia. i would be Just Natalie *jazz hands*. a few years back i was in a community theatre show and they forgot to put my last name in the show program. My friends started joking that i should do a solo show called “Just Natalie”

  1013. USA
    Lady Yllaria, Empress of the 27th Isle, Daughter of King Rupert (King Rupert, may he rest in peace), Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Ninja Ferrets, Emissary to the Galactic Wizard and their starship.

  1025. I’m from USA. my name would be Princess Sarah. Prime Animal Mage in Hidden Legacy.

  1029. US.

    My children and husband refer to me as The Dark Force In The Universe. TDFITU for short. That would be my name.

  1031. Hi! I’m from California (US) and I’d keep my name, Sanam, since it means lover and I LIVE on transmigration romance novels.

  1039. Germany

    With name there are two options, a) I will probably just use my normal name, Peter. But if I want to hide my origins I would try to find out a local name before I have to introduce myself. Because names are rather culture specific and someone is gonna ask where my name comes from and that is gonna be hard to convincingly lie about without knowing a lot about the world.

    But if I want a fantasy wizard name I might go for Gandalf the Planeswalker.

  1043. Country: USA
    Name: my online persona, Tiarys! (didn’t really mean to fantasify it, just changed the spelling years ago because people had trouble pronouncing the original spelling correctly XD)

  1046. USA

    If I were to be transported into a book i would probably be known as Mary the Perpetually Befuddled

  1049. Hello and thank you for this chance!
    1. I’m from SoCal, California USA!

    2. If I were to be transferred into a story, I’d wake up with a name like Emerald Jayde or something generic sounding.

    I’d probably be a basic cannon fodder character that would run away and live a life away from the main story arc to survive the upcoming war. (Sorry I read a lot of light novels). 😊

  1051. 1. US
    2. Ilona Frost – Yes, it is a mix of my two favorite fantasy authors, who happen to be besties, which I loved learning after the fact. I’ve used this as a username for different gaming platforms over the years.

  1053. USA

    Tahrah, Queen of the Mountains, Leader of the Grey Witches, Arcane SSS Elemental Sorceress, Goddess of Justice, Protector of Truth & Nature, Daughter of Earth & Spirit, Guardian of Death’s Gate, Mother of Cats, Sister of Crows, Friend of Dragons, Lover of Stephen – the Chieftain of the Blue Artic Warrior Clan.

  1060. 1. Indonesia.

    2. Don’t know yet since I want a name that fits in with the world/culture/society I’ll be transported to, so I’ll be doing a bit of recon first before choosing it.

  1062. No matter how magical the universe, I’ll always live up to the name of Florence the Flawed.

    Greetings from Belgium!

  1066. 1 French Polynesia
    2 Nihate Arada – It is my first 2 names but reversed (my name is actually Adara Tehani). It sounds very pretty to me.

  1069. USA

    The Nadja Doll because I’m rewatching What We Do In the Shadows and I think it would be awesome to be a possessed doll in an IA world.

  1070. 1. USA

    2. In real life, I have a long, distinctive, and very feminine name. I like it a lot, but I remember many years ago when I went to a country with a very different language and culture from mine that I was told by a cute guy (with a grimace and a nose-wrinkle) that my name, at best, sounded like a masculine-ish last name that *might*, with great reluctance, be used to name a house. So if I accidentally portaled into another world, I would at least start off with the most common, nondescript female name I encountered, whatever the local equivalent was of Mary or Anne or Elizabeth. I’d choose my impressive empress-pope name upon my coronation.

  1075. USA

    Lily the Something*

    * The “something” to be determined once I figure out what book I’m in and what name will help me fit in/survive the most. 🙂

  1076. 1. USA
    2. Athelisia the Wise, Lady of the Southern Weyrs and Guardian of the Sadie-Dempsey Chapter of the Order of Felis Catus .

  1077. USA

    Cluck Commander Debby the Poultry Wrangler, in the employ of Baroness Sethra Lavode (Undead Enchantress of Dzur Mountain and Environs)

  1078. 1. United States
    2. Zhiray, Harbinger of Good Omens (a play on the translated meaning of my Chinese name)

  1080. I’m from the USA!
    This is basic, but I’d love to have the name of a certain Lady Amalthea in The Last Unicorn. It would be confusing but certainly fun 😉

  1081. US

    I would be Thaleia ay’Eldrene. Inspired by my first fantasy series way back when I was 13 years old.

  1082. 1. United States
    2. Aurora. Simply because it seems vaguely regal, but could also be slightly altered if needed to better fit in with the locals 🙂

  1083. I’m in the US and I would definitely be named Moonflower in my role of being transported into a book world!!

  1086. usa

    None shall know my true name – I shall be known only as “Aaaaghwrblghhh” in honor of the last words of many enemies.

  1087. 1. USA
    2. Lirije as a first name with several negotiable surnames depending on the type of world she gets dropped into.

  1088. I’m from the US, which isn’t as great a thing as it used to be.
    My alter ego is Rhithyn Yr Gwlad Yr Hav, but I also might answer to Hey You. It’s really pretty mellifluous, so if the language of the new world was NOT English, it would be a source of private amusement.

  1089. – Canada
    – The Hunter (I love the idea that no one actually knows the story behind the character or their real name but everyone whispers – “oooh, here comes The Hunter! Be afraid, be very afraid!”. But like the actual name of The Hunter is kinda everyday like Jane or Emily.

  1094. USA

    Andrew the Creepy.

    “Have any tea? Can I have a cookie? What about cake? Don’t run away. I never get to have any fun.”

  1097. 1. USA
    2. Raysa Empress of the Sun and owned by the Cats 😹😹😹

    That would be me in charge but still slave to cats

  1100. Good morning

    1. South Africa
    2. In a fantasy setting – Rissiepit or in a modern setting – Lynda Skinner
    Rissiepit is a term for a virago, similar to Firecracker. My own name, as it is my own and I have come to love and appreciate it over the years.

  1101. 1. Germany

    2. Miss Aura, the one from somewhere overseas, some place no one has heard of. (Similar to Maggie, I usually imagine that I would transmigrate. )

  1102. 1. US
    2. Editrix Rex; I’ve decided the first part is my title not my first name, and in any fantasy world I’m inventing the printing press if I have to so I can have more books.

  1113. Yea! I’m from good ole USA. specifically the pacific northwest region though born and raised in Virginia. If in a book I’d likely be called Liz the breakable but with no quit cause I keep breaking joints but I have serious fomo and won’t stop playing outside and doing fun things. Love the stories.
    Liz

  1114. Hi, love your work. I am originally from Brazil but I live in Florida since 2005.
    And my name would be Nikita!😉

  1116. 1. USA
    2. Eliza the sleepless, questioner of life choices, premier of eye tote bags, standing in judgement of all that she sees.

  1118. US

    And I’d be Kira Nightingale. Not terribly exciting lol, but I always go by Kira for games and online stuff, and Nightingale is after Florence Nightingale.

  1121. late in the day comment, shocked only 1600 so far thought it would be twice that much lol

    1 US
    2 Empress Vash Carroll

  1130. He he!

    From the United States

    My name would be Alina, mistress of cats 🐈

    I would be a witch, whose powers are bound to protect me unknown to me.

  1134. 1. India

    2. Aparajita, which means undefeated. I struggle with a nickname though cause I don’t like the usual Bengali one (Apu, pronounced O-pu). Maybe Aji? Anyway, I want a badass name, even if I am a total wimp in a magical world.

  1138. London, Ontario, Canada is where I hail from.

    Amera Litehart is my favourite game character name…under the stress Maggie was when she was named in TKWNKM I’d probably default to that.

  1139. USA
    Megari Lady of Tomorrows -“Gari” for short and all of the things that are better left to tomorrow because today is too full

  1143. USA
    Allysan, keeper of books, House Golden Rose

    Thank you for games and the chance for a book gift. May House Andrews live for 10,000 years and produce many many yummy books.

  1147. I’m from the USofA

    I would be known as Ravyn Blackwood, Last of Her Line, May Her Books Never Touch the Ground

  1154. 1. I live in New Zealand
    2. I would use the name “Anakin Ippótis“.
    And if that is regarded as too masculine for a female’s name, I would amend to Anakiniti.

    Friends will call me Ani.

  1158. 1. Slovenia, Europe
    2. One Tooth Cat. Cat for short, or One Tooth in business discussions involving sharpened objects.

  1160. Ohh, so exciting.

    I am in New Zealand

    I’ll probably use my own name, Amba, or some variation of initials (Aj) or some such. but I guess it would depend on if finding myself in a fantasy land would come with magical powers of not.

    Anyways, thank you for the chance.

  1163. Hello from Canada!

    I am German Canadian (first generation) and my grandmother‘s name was Sophie … the name of a wise woman. A natural choice! Fingers crossed that I’m one of the international winners!

    So excited for Maggie. Literally cannot wait…

  1165. 1. United States

    2.I probably would use my own name(Briana), I’ve put in so much work to be still here and be who I am today, and I fought my parents attempts at nicknames too much as a child to fully abandon it-I was the toddler with both hands on my hips screaming “that’s not my name” when they tried.
    However, if I had to change it(gotta be incognito or hiding or something) probably Kaja or Kara. There’s just something about K names for me that seems positive/strong (or K sounding names – Kate, Catalina 😄 ) and the two syllable feels easier to pronounce across languages.

  1172. Romania — and if I found myself transported into a book, my name would be Ruxandra Amury. She sounds like she knows something you don’t, and she’s deciding whether to tell you — or whether it’s faster to just poke you with her sword and eliminate you as a problem permanently. 🌺⚔️

  1182. 1. Finland
    2. Freya the Lightbringer

    Had a bunch of coworkers call me the lightbringer for years, and it still sounds cool.

  1184. England

    I would probably end up as a Fred despite being female, and even in an epic fantasy it would only change up to Fredalina Bobettica

  1188. 1. USA
    2. Cora, since I’m tired of having to spell my ‘real’ name; and I liked my grandmother’s name!

  1189. 1. Canada
    2. I can’t think of something off the top of my head but probably something nature themed like a plant name .

  1193. This is fun comp and comments thread House Andrews.

    1. Australia
    2. Kim or Susie, my go-to coffee-shop names 🙂

    Congrats to the lucky winner!

  1195. Hi! Thanks for the giveaway!
    1. France
    2. I would be Solyane, Voice of Wisdom (as my sisters call me) from Sarancolin the Val, medieval city at the bottom of eternally iced mountains filled with dragons, dwarves and treasures…

  1197. I’m from the United States of America.
    My protagonist’s name would be Silver Gallant. (Because the initials are super fancy and the rest of the story behind the name is irrelevant.)

  1214. yowzer that’s a lot of comments 😃

    1. UK
    2. Sivi (the sleeper – reflecting my current inability to leave bed!)

  1227. Lady Doesna Containa Patiencey, of the Ravenous Literacy Isle

    At your service.

    Muuuch love from, Australia.

  1233. 1. Bulgaria

    2. Xynaria Nyasa-Aril Hollowfur, the Silent Leopard Worm

    (my favorite from that one time I played around with a random fantasy name generator)

  1234. 1. New Zealand

    2. Catherine – I think it would be a historical, so we’ll go with the more common version!

  1237. New Zealand

    Nykairian, saw it in a book and always liked it. I don’t care if it’s technically a boys name, I steal, I’ll dress as a man and be majestic and dapper in a fantasy land

  1239. I’m from France and m’y name would be Amber. I always liked that name. Thank you for your books, they helped my mental health a lot theses last months.

  1242. I’m from the UK, and my name would be Tilly – a nostalgic and completely random nickname that came from my Grandma!

  1244. First of all, I love your books so much, you have a true gift and appreciate all you do for your Fans!

    1. Germany
    2. Tari

  1245. 1. Australia
    2. Lady Hel of the Broken Mirrors and Lucky Stars

  1249. 1. France
    2. Soleil ☀️
    Because it’s raining a lot right now, I’m going to become the one who’s missed and maybe he’ll get jealous and come back. 🤣

    I always loved that name and sound a bit fantasy-ish

  1262. Oh my oh my!
    Israel

    My name is Suzanne. I would be Syzeene the Arie (Lion). My husband who has passed, was Arie. I am roaring at life and battling forward.

  1267. Name’s Su Mei Karen and I’m British by way of Malaysia and Singapore.

    If I were ever stranded, I’d like to go to Discworld during the time of Brutha (Small Gods by Terry Pratchett) the amazingly down to earth prophet and I’d call myself Kaerz (the curious or kurios).

    Thank you for your amazing books – I started reading your books during lockdown and never stopped. Been a comfort, solace and joy since x.

  1270. uh international give away… yeah..
    1. germany

    it my favorite name of my table top RPG chars that I played over the year. I use it for gaming too. it’s my little joyful thief who always uses too much bubbles in the bath. because more is always more 🙂

  1272. New Zealand! When it comes to release dates I often forget we are ahead in time zone, and have to squeeze out a few extra dregs of p*tience.

    My name would probably be something like Catrin, as a variation on my name. I think I’d struggle to see myself in it otherwise (or forget what I was supposed to be answering to).

  1274. 1. Spain

    2. I would totally go for a Japanese name like Yuki or Sakura in a series like Red Winter or InuYasha where there is fantasy, gods and Yokai.

    My fantasy name would be Hrydia (which my mother always wanted to name me meaning Beloved)

  1280. I am from Germany.

    I love the colour blue and have blue eyes, so my name would be Maris (for the Latin word mare = ocean) or Azura (again Latin for sky blue).

    Fabulous Giveaway, btw.

  1283. U.S.A.

    My name is Indignant Monkeya and I’ve been dropped into The Truth by Terry Pratchett where I will wreak havoc writing book reviews for publisher William de Word.

  1284. I’m from the US, and I’d like my name to be something mysterious, known to most people as “Librarian of the Annals of Doom, Keeper of the Forbidden Catalogs, the Unseen and Unnameable One” and known to friends by the innocuous name of “Frank”.

  1285. I am from the US and would continue to use my real name Dorothy because I like it, and it means “gift of God.”

    United States of America

  1292. Hello House Andrews!

    1. Singapore

    2. in solidarity with Lady Wexyn (her name looks like hanyu pinyin!), I’d go with Mengjia.
    It’s hanyu pinyin for my Chinese name; naming convention in this sunny isle usually demands an English name as well as a name in Chinese for those of Chinese ethnicity. ◡̈

  1293. Writing from France.
    I would like to be Xeres the Mysterious Alchemist, someone with a cape and some potions.

  1295. Best wishes from Germany.

    I’d love to be called in a book Ciri, a nickname used for me from my friend

  1299. 1. Germany

    2. My name would be Veronica Sabino. That’s the name of a singer from my home country, and when I was 8-9 I thought she was the prettiest woman in the world and that was the most amazing name! I could also do a fantasy glow up and name myself Verønykah the Dauntless or something (because I have no filter and people tell me I have no respect for authority figures)

  1304. Hi, I am Astrid from the Netherlands. My name would be Pinky going on a great fantasy adventure.

  1306. 1. I am from Denmark

    2. I would probably use my own name.
    I have a very telling face which is not always a plus working in IT.
    People can see when I think they are below the bar of function…

  1307. 1. England, UK

    2. Tessen. Tessen is a war fan, they were used by Japanese generals and women as a concealed weapon of defence disguised as something decorative when usual weapons were disallowed. Innocent and delicate looking until it isn’t…

  1311. Texas, U.S.

    I’ve got a disability and enjoyed glen cook’s the black company, so unless sudden inspiration strikes I would probably go with :

    The Limper, unless of course that’s Taken.

  1312. I’m from Germany!
    If I could choose a fantasy name it would be Eulophia Euglossa. I used to have an orchid by that name and I always thought it would fit a eccentric witch

  1313. I’m in the U.S., and I think I’d start by using ‘Liam’, the Celtic version of my name ‘William’.
    Thanks for the chance at this!

  1315. I am a U.S. citizen and my name would be Adira Jasnah. It is a Hebrew name that means noble, strong and powerful. In the setting of This Kingdom, I would all of those qualities and more.

    Love your work, Lady Moderataria Rhae’zalyndrix, First of Her Name,

    The Untouched by Sun, Lady of the Soggy Isles! 🙂

  1335. 1, I’m in England, good old Blighty.

    2, I would try to call myself something romantic and a dramatic based on my IRL name like Eleanor Lisette De Wilde (The Younger).
    But I know for a fact that in any book, from the tippiest top of the “proper literature” pantheon to the lowest shelf of the wire rotunda of celebrity cash in holiday paperbacks, I would end up as Nellie.

    So Nellie it is. I accept my fate. 😁

  1338. Hi,
    my Name is Corinna, I‘m from Germany. Thrown into an other world I would go for Kyra.

  1342. This is not an entry, but a Thanks to Mod R for causing my husband and I to laugh out loud at the lady of the soggy Isles comment.
    It really is soggy in Britain at the moment.

  1343. I live in New Zealand and my book name would be Caoimhe O’Leary. O’Leary after my Grandmothers (an unique woman who raised 18 children and 38 grandchildren). Caoimhe because it makes me evil laugh thinking about the many different ways people would butcher the pronunciation in their heads Mmmwwaahhhaaa.

  1344. Hi, from Canada and since my name would be fertilizer in any gritty type of fantasy or strife filled book, I will stick to any book of the cozy variety. My name could stay Angela (since I quite like it as it is) and I could put up a shingle as an Organizer with Common Sense. Help with your belongings and your life! (Results vary)

  1347. Thank you for the opportunity! Proud to be a horde member!

    International here. Currently in Thailand. Originally a citizen of two countries who shall not be named as unfortunately both of them are currently under a fascist regime: Living in books – and in Thailand – is so much better!

    If I were to find myself in a book, I guess I would be Petal.

  1349. I’m from the U. S. I would be transported to the innkeeper world. I think I would be Anne the Clumsy.

  1371. The Netherlands: please announce me as Rosalia Pillar, significant of House Pillar.

    We are known for growing plants that attract butterflies. My specialty? Ehm why would you investigate a minor plant talent?

    What do you mean something ate your creepy uncle? And was surrounded by chrysalides?

  1374. This is Calm, the unbound. I’d be transported into Dina’s world, but not into the water where she sends bad players.

  1375. I’m from the States, and I would go by Jane because it seems like a name that wouldn’t draw too much attention.
    (yes, I’m aware my regular name is pretty normal too lol)

  1377. Hi. I’m from the UK. My book name could be:- Zeelata. I would love to be in the Hidden Legacy series as House Mistry! I vibe these books. 😊

    🤞

  1384. I’m from Poland.

    I live on the small island of South Hero, in the Lake Champlain Islands located in the state of Vermont.

  1427. USA
    Elizabeth the Earth witch!
    the power to sense things from the soil, such as water and minerals, or know what’s buried and where.
    don’t hire a water dowser, hire the earth witch!

  1436. Hi this is Morgan from Virginia, USA.

    Aeterna has a cool sound

    Thanks for the new book, I’m looking forward to it!

  1439. I’m Italian but I now live in sunny UK 😂

    I think I would keep my own name, Dora, cause I would 100% forget the fake one lol

    I am from Canada and my chosen name would be Danni of the North

  1460. USA
    Rizath the Red (my favorite D&D character I played—-a heavy metal bard that played the triangle)

  1461. I’m from the United States and this is so weird but I’ve always liked the names Tamsyn and Morgana so I think those are the fantasy names I’d go with! I’m obsessed with your books and constantly reread them!

  1472. USA
    My name would be “Florida” and my Bernedoodle would have to go with me of course, and her name would be “Maisy the Magnificent”or just “Doodle” for short.

    “Maisy, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Florida anymore”.

  1490. Her Radiance Lady Izobelle of the Luminous Panes, First of Her Name, Sovereign Witch-Queen of the Prismatic Dominion, Ruler of the Land of Unending Seasons

    I’ll sign anything you want if it means I get to read the new book before ANYONE else. I thank you🙏🏻

  1493. I am a German born Canadian citizen. I have every Ilona Andrews book of story ever written and proud of it.

  1506. 1. US
    2. I’d think I’d try to go by something short so I could spin it as a nickname to something more common to the world I end up in (once I figure that out which I doubt will be instantly). Something like Kit or Mae.

  1507. Israel.
    I’d like to think I’d be called “Il-il, The Healer”, or even “Il-il the Stubborn”,
    but due to my out of shape status,and my impression from trying to hike with the kids, I’d probably be called “Mrs. Wait for me…” 😅.

  1512. I, RenSha NadMikhiela of the city of Pollen humbly submit this request for Great Gimmees for the perusal of the Book Devouring Horde. May the Sorting Lord find favor in my writ.

  1516. USA
    Adrianna the Ancient One

    Why? I have no idea, it’s just the first thing that popped in my head. 😁

  1519. I’m from Norway, and if I was transported into a fantasy world, my name would be Malin the Cautious.

  1520. I’m from the US. If I could choose, I’d be Quinn the Resilient but in reality…it’d be most likely Darn it Deb

  1523. Ooh, fantasy names! Made a whole lot of these at some point. i’m originally from Finland, although live currently in the US (like House Andrews) so I should be entered into the US giveaway.

    I like to play Baldur’s Gate. As you may know, it happens in Faerun. My protagonist is often called Yaya, especially if she’s a wild mage and elven. I’d take that in a fantasy world. No last name. (OH, and yes, I HAVE read the book of the Yaya sisterhood.)

  1527. United States
    Dath of House Dearsahd, Queen’s Champion, Lady of the Opaline Daggers, Rose of the Second Self

  1528. Hi!

    1. Canada
    2. Yarrow Flintspar ( it’s my character name for my Koriko sRPG campaign 😁)

    Thanks!

  1530. I’m in Texas, USA. I always wanted to use the name Melisandra (so hopefully I wouldn’t wake up in some super modern sci-fi book).

  1533. Germany and my name would be Ushinatta which means lost in Japanese (cause that’s what I would be without my loved ones)

  1538. Sir Thacklemore Westingheimer of the Brown Bear Pass of the Seventh Lake
    Seventeenth of her name
    United States 🙂

  1542. I am from the United States. My name would be Czarina Kerbytha the Kind but Krazy if You Mess with Me or My Family Which Includes my FurBaby.

  1544. USA
    Mershka MacRilyn – Daughter of the Blade

    I instructed AI to use my name and given it a Russian/Scottish twist (I’ve Russian heritage on my paternal grandmother’s side of the family and Scottish on my paternal grandfather’s side.) I also told it to give me Irish and Scottish twists since I’m British/Irish on my maternal side of the family, but liked the Russian/Scottish one the most. Yep I’m 100% mutt.

  1545. From the US

    Aeloria Thornveil

    Aeloria – symbol of strength, hope and perseverance

    Thornveil – sanctuary that is both beautiful and dangerous 😉

  1554. USA – although with my vision issues I’d prefer an ARC so I can fiddle with the font sizes & flip the colors.

    Tamberlin would be my name as it’s already not my legal and yet still my own. Yea for historical reenactment & gaming 😆

  1555. Germany

    As my online name is Maggie and the choosing is inspired by her, I would probably also go by that. Maybe change it a little bit if the world calls for that.

  1556. High Lady Chelyssa Storm-Forged,
    The Chalant,
    Politely Relentless, Reasonable — but Firm,
    Mother of the Tiny Dragon Princess and the Golden Floofs.

    USA

  1562. From the US up near Canada watching the snow fall.

    Old Grump. Retiring but not shy. Heart of gold? Sure kid.

  1564. U SA, Florida, currently. it varies. I always loved the name Victoria Holt. it was a pen name of a historical romance writer. So given the option, I’d be Victoria.

  1565. I’m from the US. Honestly, I’d keep my name. There are not enough Cindy’s in fiction, and when there are, they are complete buttheads or Cindy Brady’s and that makes me crazy.

  1567. I am from the US. I would choose the name Cordelia because that’s what Anne of Green Gables would choose were she real and not already in a book. Meta. Also, Anne is from Canada. Cordelia is from England.

  1569. I’m from the U.S.

    My name would be The Inexorable Tantadorable Queen of the Far Reaching Abyss

    (This is my only chance to become royalty).

  1572. Slovenia. Zdravo 🙂 i would probably go with Iris – what my mom wanted to name me but my dad did not cave.

  1575. Canada
    Sal
    I will stick with my nickname. I would love to fall into the world of the Innkeepers. I don’t think I could be an innkeeper but rather I would travel the worlds with my cat and horse sidekicks.

  1576. 1. USA
    2. Bekha the Unyielding or Ryvka of the Drowned Coast. Competent, dangerous, with a complicated backstory and a knife she’s not afraid to use.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  1577. From the USA

    My name is Kathleen, or Kat. If I were in a fantasy story I think it would stay the same. Maybe a different nickname but I’m not creative enough to come up with something that isn’t an existing name

  1582. 1. US
    2. Teri-just call me Teri
    And I have ALWAYS said I would live to live in the Kate Daniels world (and be her)

    If I am choose my, please give to another.
    Also Mod R- you are hilarious

    Thank you House Andrew for every you do. In my personal opinion, you do way more than necessary for the BDH.

  1584. I’m from the US. If I were transported into any book I would probably just keep my name Rae. Otherwise I would get confused and not know people are talking to me (which would really mess up the plot).

  1590. I’m in the U.S. and my book name would be Linh (my daughter’s middle name) Vietnamese in origin but easily pronounced 😉

  1597. I’m from the USA. My name would be Library Goddess, Guardian of books and friend to all readers!

  1598. I am from the United States of America (hoping someday we lean more heavily on the United part)

    My name would be Tamara the truthsayer.

    Note: I got an error message when posting so I don’t mean to duplicate the submission)

  1603. I am in the US. I haven’t read the excerpt yet, so I don’t know for sure how the naming worked.

    If I were transported, my name might be one of my favorite book characters: Charlotte, from the edge.

  1604. Hi, I am from the USA, and my character name would be Titina. When I say it, most people think it’s a stutter! Thank you for the chance to get your wonderful book!

  1605. I am from Puerto Rico but currently living in the US. I love my name but probably would go with my nickname Giovi.

  1607. Melissa from NY. My character’s name would be Xalashi~
    Love you guys! Thanks for feeding us so regularly,

  1609. I’m from the US. My name would be Kerry, Lady of the Broken Land (because I live in Texas which is already a horror story!)

  1612. I’m from United States.

    If I could have picked my name, it would have been Autumn or Sahrah. I’d even accept Shara

  1614. I am from Australia, but I was born in Pakistan. I would keep my name Cezanne as that is what my father named me before I was born.

  1616. 1.us
    2. probably ‘look at that rotting corpse on the side of the road’. (I have no survival instinct whatsoever.)

  1621. 1. US
    2. Ruth of the Measured Word and Iron Timeline, Keeper of Cats, Compliance, and Controlled Panic, She Who Sends the Follow-Up

  1622. I am from United States and my name is Zenith and I would love to be swept away to “Sweep With Me”.

  1624. Years ago my ‘CON’ name, still used now: Xanne ne’ Bettea ( a riff on Roxanne daughter of Betty). I have lived the last decades in Minnesota, USA. I await the Twin Cities author visit in April!

  1627. 1. USA
    2. Cyntucha Cara de Trucha. My childhood nickname, the last part which literally translates to trout face lol but the meaning is fast and alert/aware.

  1630. USA
    Bethany of the Northern Climes,
    Gatekeeper of the Elixirs, Wielder of the Compounds, Dualie Zealot of the Bandy

  1631. US, and I think I would want to just be Jenn. It’s always felt warmer to me than my full name.

  1632. I am from the SC in the US. I suppose my name would depend on which book I landed in. For Maggie’s book I would be Amelia the Eident.

  1633. Hi, Jenny from the UK, I’d like to use my own name or the short or long versions (Jen/Jennifer) because for once I’d like to read a book where the character with that name is not useless or turns bad then killed off.

  1638. I’m from US and I’d probably be known as Blip since I would be there one second and gone the next if I landed in any fantasy world!

  1644. UK here. As a tween I named myself (and got an email address for) Gypsi Anne Adams, so I’d be called that.
    Gypsi was a favourite character from, iirc, Chalet School books. Anne my favourite from the Famous Five or Five Find-Outers (can’t recall which). Adams because I was going to marry Ben from A1. That should age me sufficiently 🤣

  1648. The United States. I love the name Austin! I would fit right in The Hidden Legacy, which I LOVE!

  1651. Hello! I am from Canada and I would keep my own name Laura because it would be had to remember another one !

  1653. Shizukana Hariken from the U.S. VERY rough translation from Japanese of Quiet Hurricane (and if it isn’t, I like the sound of it anyway)

  1654. Hi from Emer of the ‘Aquatic Isle’, otherwise known as Ireland. It has been raining here since Christmas. Even for us, that is seriously ‘damp’ weather! Every nugget from House Andrews lifts my spirits, while I wait with great chalance, (and gritted teeth) for Maggie’s release.

  1656. Greetings! I’m from US. I often, in my imagination at least, insert myself into various stories. I would be Jerran Wyntekill.

  1658. I’m from the United States and my name would be Lady Elissabeth Silverwood.
    So excited for this new book! I’ve been re-reading and listening to your other series while waiting!

  1661. I’m from Jersey in the Channel Islands.
    If I was transported into a book my name would have to be Gorbash.

  1662. USA

    My name is Heidi, which everyone already gets wrong. They either spell it wrong or say it wrong. So I’d probably keep it.

  1663. Hello! I am from France and I would use a different name, Elvire. It seems suitably fantasy-like if needs to be.

  1664. The most ohayou of gozimasu’s, dude!

    My name is Chet, totally first of his name (righteous, right?), Master of the Waves, the Sandcrusted One, Bringer of Vibes.

    That pretty elf lady looks like she’s on a mission and I’m here for the ride. She looks kinda mad though. Like someone really feng’d her shui though… it’s alright though, Ol Chet is also a master of chill. She’s in good hands.

  1667. Hi! From US
    I would go with Lady Amaryllis of the Northwest Emerald City.
    It’s a play on a MMRPG I had once and my favorite place to live.

  1672. Hello! US and I would choose Cecily, The Importance of Being Earnest is one of my favorite plays. I, too, would likely be idealistic and excited over the mystery of something new.

  1673. Hello from Bucks County, USA! I would pick Elizabeth, after my grandmom–she was a warm, powerful presence in my life growing up, and I admire her to this day.

  1674. USA

    Staying with Miriam. It has always felt right to me.

    Thank you, HA & Mod R: I’m enjoying reading all the names, and comments. The comments at Ilona Andrews are almost always fun or/and interesting.

  1676. Jo-Anne the artist of randomness and follower of dopamine!

    From the great white north of Canada! Cant wait for this book to come out!

  1680. Hello,

    My home is in Oregon, but currently in the kingdom of Bahrain for the next year.

    For a new name, I choose Rosaline rhyming with Caroline.

  1683. You sure know how to whet our appetites. I am eagerly awating release of the new book. I live in Canada.
    Thank you for all your work to entertain us!
    Duncan

  1684. Delilah the Bold, Master Healer, Purveyor of Truth (whether you like it or not). Of the Frozen North Country known as Canada

  1690. Hi from the Horde. I’m a Texan, through and through, so USA. My awesome moniker would be Ommatidia Dipteran.

  1691. Hi! I’m from the USA. My name is Lux. My daughter just named her baby that and I think it would go great as a name in Maggie’s book!

  1696. United States, and I (boringly) would use my own name… unless I was gifted a name by the new world. But even then, in my head it would still be my original name that I used.

  1698. United States…. right in the middle of the country literally. Ya know what I’m going to be weird…that will be my name… Kansas. 😂

  1699. I’m in the US!

    I’ve always fancied the name and the color Indigo so maybe that would be my new name? I’d name a daughter Indigo, except that our last name is already a color. Rats…

  1703. Hello, in the mundane world, I am from the United States. However, my name should Kalena the Serene from the Misty Isles.

  1705. I am from the U.S.A.
    My name would be Cyrilla as a nod to Cirilla in The Witcher and also so people could yell “Hey, Cyri!” at me. Hopefully I would have answers. 🙂

  1708. I am from Canada 🇨🇦 , and if I could choose any name and go to that book world I would be Daine Salmalin (if you know, you know 😉)

  1709. I would be Phelleps. It keeps the name alive when there is no one to pass it on to.
    I live in the United States and always have .

  1712. Good morning,

    I’m Kelly from the USA. I a fantasy book, I would be Kelly because it is Gaelic for Warrior!

    I love all your books!

    Thanks

  1716. Maryland, USA

    I do so enjoy being a part of the IA universe, but I cannot resist the urge to be:

    Georgiana Darcy, the accomplished and lovely young sister of Mr. Darcy in Jane Austen world.

  1719. I live in the United States. What name you would find me using if you met me in a book would depend on where you find me in the book. Syn (short for Syntyche) lives in an old farmhouse in the forest where the trees grew back wild. Asche (Aschenputtel) lives over a small library guarding books.

  1727. In the USA.

    Abrixa – close to my real name, still short enough to be memorable, the real question is whether the x is pronounced hard or soft

  1728. 1. USA
    2. I would love to drop in on the Baylor’s as Grandma Frieda. Love her sense of fun and adventure. She is the rock the Baylor kids go to for everything. She’s hysterically funny too.

  1730. my name would be Scary Mary, terror of the East. See her and tremble in fear of the power of her words to cut you down to size.

    I am in the US

  1731. 1. USA

    2. Um…so it’s already taken, but, can I just be Kate Daniels, funny, feisty, jaded, yet hopeful with all the perks of being the Beast Lord’s Lover …

  1735. I’d be Granny Ree, maker of potions and tinctures and giver of no-nonsense advice. I’m from the U.S.

  1740. I’m from Singapore! I’d probably stick to my own name, and have my surname changed from “Koh”, to the transliteration “Xu”. So it would ultimately be “Xu Jing Ting”. That would be welcomed change.

  1755. Hailing from the United States, you may address me as Emm, the Undecided. (Unless I change my mind again.)

  1756. I’m from the US. The book I finished most recently was Rise of the Living Forge 5. If I suddenly found myself in that world, I’d go by something like Kyla. No last name. They don’t seem to be a thing there.

  1757. I’m in the US. And I would probably just use my name, Cassie. Otherwise I’d be the person who gives a fake name and forgets to answer to it lol

  1759. I live in the United States. I’m taking an AI class, so I asked chatGPT what name it would choose if it was in the Innkeeper series. It chose: Astrael Meridian. I asked Claude AI, and it said: Caldwell or Caldwell the Chronicler. I would choose Lucien Hunt, a relative of Gertude Hunt’s previous innkeeper.

  1761. 1. United States
    2. Kate of the Unstitched (the amount of time I spend pulling cross stitch stitches out…)

  1766. I’m in the U.S. 🙂 Some favorite names I’ve used for my characters in video games are Vivienne, Astrid, or Leila (lay-luh), so it would probably be one of those.

  1767. USA
    Currently listening to the latest In Death novel. If I found myself transported to that world, I’d choose the name Joy Christiano, and I’d be an Italian jewel thief. The kind that never gets caught. ☺️

  1769. I am from Canada.

    My fantasy name would be Ariadne. It’s my dogs name, but we call her Ria for short. 🙂

  1770. I live in the USA. If I were transported into a book, I’d go by Logan. I don’t believe in waiting to be isekai’ed to be happy with my name, so I started going by Logan a few years ago and it’s been great.

  1773. In the US. Sadly, in spite of more ambitious aspirations, I have always concluded that my most likely character in a fantasy would be Bombur!

  1775. United States
    Merlin, the name has so much myth and mystery to it. They may have been entirely fictional but who knows. And it doesn’t matter at this point, the mystery is there

  1779. United States reader
    My name would be Hari (I’d land in Damar, from Robin McKinley’s -The Blue Sword-).

  1782. I am in the USA. My book name would be Ione, after my great grandmother,

    Thank you for all you do for the Horde!

  1791. I’m in the US. I would keep my own name (Linden) because I like it and it already sounds fantasy-ish.

  1797. I’m from the US.
    I would likely be a side character, with no name, that is mentioned briefly, due to my wholly average qualities as a human 😂

  1801. USA
    Katerina, maybe? I’d probably try to blend into whatever society I was in; my favorite books are about a 8 way tie… but I’ve gone by quite a few names in my life. They all sound weird till you get used to them.

  1806. I live in the USA. My name, if I were transported into a book? Skella Dementhinsbane of Painted Stone.

  1809. Howdy from here in Texas
    My name is Abby Gale, Dorothy’s older sister. We don’t get as many tornadoes as they do in Kansas.
    I’ve been using that as my online name for a very long time.

  1812. USA
    Mary Margerine, you know, that woman who says she actually prefers butter? and she’s always reading something. Yeah, she’s at the library every other week — she checks out all kinds of books. She tells us reading is her superpower, and we believe her.

  1813. I currently live in the US. But this could change.

    Emeline. My name would be Emiline because it is a brave and beautiful name.

  1815. US
    I’ve always liked the name Hannah. I think it would depend on where I landed and if I needed to choose a name or go with whatever made the most sense in that story/environment.

  1818. United States

    Raylora Rattlestorm Night- Sutra of the Binding Quiet. Keeper of secrets and solitude. Collector of stories and lore. Healer of war worn muscles and overstimulated minds.

  1825. United States! I made up the name Vaoni when I was a teenager so I’d go by Vaoni Vadal as a nod to one of my favorite characters ever (also alliteration rocks).

  1831. I’m from the US. My name, if transported into a fantasy book, would be Eolaurza. Because, well, why not?

  1835. USA
    Nyyra (The name of my very first role played character resulting in all names following having the double “y”)

  1837. I’m in the US and the first thing that comes to mind for a name is something simple like Ann (no last name or last name related to my job like Horse)

  1842. I’m in the United States. The PNW to be exact. If I was transported into a book world, I would become Lissa the Grieving. It’s just me and my daughter and leaving her behind would break me.

  1848. Oh exciting!.

    I am from Canada and I think I would probably end up using my own name Julene, if I were transported to a world in a book. No matter if I would like to think of something else. I know me, and I think that would be the case.

    Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy of Kingdom. 🙂

  1855. I’m from the US and if I found myself placed into a book, my character name would be NaGem (nuh-jem). It’s just Megan but backwards because I’m only three sips into coffee right now. I’m ignoring chemistry for the time being since Na is calcium so this would make me a calcium gem…. I’ll work on it.

  1856. USA

    Jennitrix, the tireless, finder of Lost Objects, keeper of The One Calendar, master of Big Feelings, healer of Scrapes, vanquisher of Chaos and Deadlines. Kneel before me and tremble!!!

  1857. USA

    My name would be Sigrid, the Viking Soprano. I just like the name Sigrid and have been using vikingsoprano online for a very long time. I am a singer in real life, so my power would have to be something to do with that, maybe beguiling people when I sing, or being an animal mage via singing like Cornelius (that would be fun!)
    Obviously, I’m thinking about the HL universe lol so I would like to be transported to that parallel universe

  1859. USA

    As someone from a long line of “intimidating” women, i.e. competitive and competent women, if transported into a book I would start calling myself “La Temida,” The Feared One, and develop a reputation to match!

  1861. Hi, I’m in Phoenix, Arizona, USA. I would go by Man’da Tes ‘Fai. my married name basically, but with apostrophes so there are pauses. I don’t think I would respond if it was close to Amanda or Mandy and I really love my husband’s last name, Tesfay. It means, “His Hope”.

  1863. I would be called Berkly. This is a running joke because people get my name wrong often. I’m from the US. Now I have to go rescue my cat from the snow. If people think California is all palm trees and beaches, I’ve got a snow shovel with their name on it.

  1864. I am from the United States!

    My name would be Eidoj Mmal, which is my name backwards! I used to play with that in hs, and my maiden name backwards was Nrodnekceh!

  1877. As my name has already had a “Y” inserted into it, I would keep it the same, Lauryn. I would do this for any book world, but for this I’ll use the Hidden Legacy world from your own series. Thank you!

  1891. I live in Bremen, Northern Germany ( next to Hamburg) .
    my Name in a book :
    Randalke, Lady with the the deadly gaze

  1901. OMG ~ I would love love love to win win win!! LOL
    Im in S Florida USA!! Roberta means bright/shining! My name would be Robeira or Roberelle

  1902. USA.
    Rhiannon (always loved the name but gave birth to boys and it didn’t suit either of them)

  1903. USA! My name would be Evelyn but nickname would be Little Ghost due to being pale, quiet, and unassuming.

    As in, after getting stepped on (again) “Oh, sorry. Didn’t see you there Little Ghost.”

  1904. I’m from the USA and if I were transported into the Inn Keeper Series I would be Graybaby Kayaker Extrodinaire.

  1905. 1. Canada.
    2. Gyslain.
    If I could get into any book it would have to be the Wandering Inn by Pirateaba. I love your worlds but I have read the Wandering Inn religiously and I would love to live in that world. I would keep my name, it’s weird enough already.

  1907. 1. USA
    2. Jongsi. (My parents gave me both an English and Chinese name, but I never get to use my Chinese name since it’s not my legal name. Would love to embrace that name if I was transported into a book.)

  1909. Really looking forward to this new fantasy series from you both. Thank you for sharing your talents.
    I am USA – Oregon
    My fantasy character name would be Rae (short for Aurora)

  1913. USA
    I would totally be presumptuous and call myself Lady F.; and if/when prodded exceedingly for what “F” stands for, unleash a long, “The Lady Farandelle Halan Un’Domierre”, with a Tremaine worthy sneer and head tilt as I turned away.

  1914. US
    Siobhan –

    Celtic/Gaelic (& who wouldn’t want a little Druid in them?,) always thought it was so pretty when pronounced correctly, and I am of Scottish descent. The Edge book series would be my place to visit – because I think the people don’t seem super different from the gorgeous western NC Southern Appalachians, where I am from.

  1916. Hello from Chile! My name is Sandy, though I’d choose something like Sandryelle Valentti — it sounds so fae and full of character. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy, but if I win, I’d be able to read it an entire month in advance!

  1918. USA. Elowen Thorne: the kind of legend who doesn’t need a sword to command a room – though I carry one anyway, just in case.

  1919. FRANCE
    My name will be Nella Wil’ Sokal
    Nella as the first name because it’s my grandma’s whom I deeply loved,
    Wil’ because a fantasy series I really loved when I was young, written by Pierre Bottero, used this type of particule (Gil’, Til’, Sil’…). Bjorn Wil’ Wayard was an underestimated character, a knight very clumsy, but funny and extremely loyal.
    Sokal because of Benoit Sokal, a famous comic designer, who helped draw the concept behind Syberia an amazing video game.
    Of course I would like to be reincarnated in one of your books! Preferably in the world of Hidden Legacy which is a tad less violent (because I would to survive!)
    Thank you for everything, I can’t wait to read the story of Maggie!
    P.S. sorry for my mistakes, English is not my language

  1922. Omg at last an international giveaway!
    Thank you so much!
    Im from Japan
    and the name I would like if transported to a book would be Yui

  1923. I’m from the US .
    My name Teia would stay the same. My parents liked the name Tia from the movie return from witch mountain. They say they got the spelling from the movie and the book. But every book and movie from 1978 that I’ve looked at the spelling is Tia. I hated the name as a child and teen. But as time went on I grew into my name. It’s a lot of fun to tease the parents and we all have such a great sense of humor and a love for books! thank you for this opportunity.

  1929. 1. I was born in the US. My parents immigrated here from Russia in 88’ and me and my brother were born here.

    2. I wish I was a creative writer, life would be so fun! Alas, I live through books for a reason, I think id just go by Natalya, it’s my technically my name but I had it removed when I got married. It would be fun to actually go by it for a change. I would be transported into ANY of your books. I’ve reread every series so many times!

  1935. I live in the US. My first name sounds like it is fake anyway so I guess I would stick with Joy. (I’m so NOT creative today.)

  1939. USA

    Anna, it is a version of my name I would respond to and is common in many Earth languages (not sure about other worlds) so it wouldn’t stand out. Unlike me anyway.

  1940. I’m from the USA.
    I’d pick Barbara as a new name, as it means “stranger,” or “foreigner.” It may be a bit too on the nose, but my family does enjoy word games . . .

  1941. New Zealand
    Tallulah Northnight
    I was Blousey Brown in Bugsy Malone when I was 11. I really wanted to be Tallulah, even 40 years later, so here we are. Northnight for a touch of the romantic and mysterious, which is of course, totally at odds with the name Tallulah but it sounds good to me!

  1943. USA
    I need this book!

    signed,

    D’lyzl, first of her name, and assessor of teas
    Lady of the Dusty Plains

  1948. Yay!! So excited for this book. Can see myself dying first, I wouldn’t even fight!! I’m in Oklahoma City, USA and my name would be Phil “Dangwe raenda mberi”. In Shona this means the first born has gone ahead. No cap in my game.

  1949. Wooho for an international giveaway!
    I’m from Germany.
    The name would probably be something like Lady Caty the horder of books. Or Lady Katharina the Librarian? A whole new world with new books to collect sounds awesome!
    I am soooo looking forward to This Kingdom.

  1951. USA.
    I am the worst at picking out names!🤪 It took me to right until my due date and lots of stress to name my 2 kiddos.
    I would choose Aisling Beithe, meaning “dream of a birch tree” in gaelic

  1952. I would love to get a copy, in any format!
    I am in The United States of America, in the free state of California, and my (new) name is K’Zintly of the Desert, first of her name.

  1953. 1) USA
    2) This is my kyrptonite … thinking up names … so this is horrible
    BUT Trevor I guess just cuz it makes me laugh.

  1954. United States, Elizabeth Margaret Cleves, when submerged in the SCA that’s Lady Elizabeth, but I generally don’t like using titles, so not necessary, tho occasionally useful. bwahahahaha!

  1955. I’m currently living in Brussels, Belgium!
    My name would be Sophie the Red
    Because I have red hair and love red wine.

  1961. I’m originally from Romania, but I’ve lived in lovely Scotland for many, many years. That in itself feels like isekai. And re-imagining myself in a book IS my favourite hobby, but I’m always a new character, the one no one saw coming. And my name is always Mirai, which means ‘the future’ in Japanese, because I always know how it all turns out. Yeeey, this was so fun! 😊

  1962. From the US
    My fantasy name would be Kialli, from one of my (other!) favorite authors. I shouldn’t admit that I have others, but here we are

  1964. I’m from Switzerland. Not sure what book I’d want to be transported into (like most of the House Andrews books, many of the series I read are great to read, but terrible to live in). Maybe the Elantra series by Michelle Sagara? For the name, I’d probably go for something like Tanyra Mirielle or Mireille. Somewhat close enough to my real name, but sort of fits with the in-world naming scheme. No title though. There’s no way I could give myself a title and keep a straight face while someone calls me that.

  1966. USA, Florida to pinpoint it. Don’t hold that against me.
    I would love to have a physical book. I buy them for my daughter as they’re too heavy for my hands.
    My name would be Eldreth.

  1969. USA, New Mexico to be more precise
    Rebecca the Tired because I am exhausted 😩
    and I definitely would love to be a dragon rider!

  1976. España
    elegiría el nombre de mi hija, Alba, que significa primera luz del día.
    gracias como siempre por todo!

  1977. USA

    If I recieve the book, I will gift it to my friend with a great name. Stephanie (Steph)
    I love your books but because of old eyes and space I stick to e-books from Amazon so everything is in one library for the old memory.

  1978. United States, Oregon
    My name would be Kaja. According to the internet, in Polish it means Princess of the Gods. 😊

  1979. 1. Canada, ye old land of maple syrup

    2. Oo, perhaps the Lady of the Knack? I’m sure I’d try to tinker around and make some sort of mechanical wonder reminiscent of my old home.

  1982. Ahh!!! So excited.

    USA 🙂

    Laurel the Creator, Lady of the Alabaster Hills, Conqueror of the Valley of Yarn

  1988. Greetings and Salutations: I am from the USA.
    The name “She who Runs With Horses” would be fun, since I am a horse in Chinese Astrology. The possibility of also being a shapechanger would be welcome.

  2014. I am from Canada. I would choose my first name Kelsey, but would change my last name to something like Smith. That way I would always answer to it, but would be a little anonymous.

  2016. From the United States of America, state of Alabama, county of Mobile, city of Citronelle and my name would be Ronn

  2020. I’m from Canada.

  2037. I’m from the USA and my name would be Karmandie Goldenbough, after my blood elf paladin on World of Warcraft. Just imagining the fun and havoc she could wreak in my favorite book worlds has me grinning!

    I would love to be Jessy from K F Breens “Magical Midlife” series

  2051. I’m Missy from Canada! I’d stick with my own name since I’d probably forget I adopted a new one and cause a bunch of problems for myself haha

  2056. I’m in the United States. My name would be “Hit ‘Em Up Sparkles”. It is my current gaming name. It stems from a friend’s utter misunderstanding of my old gaming name (which was Japanese) that he didn’t read correctly LOL. Makes me smile every time someone says it or I read it.

  2058. I’m in the USA, State of Maine.

    My Wood Elf name has been Blue Spider for 60 years. A shortened version of Blue Spiderwort (Tradescantia ohiensis), this symbolizes tranquility, trust, and resilience. Friends call me “Blue.”

  2087. I’m from the USA. I live on a farm in Texas.

  2090. Hi,

    Thank you

  2107. In California USA

    My name would be Monique. But It would be pronounced. manique- just the way the chic French woman corrected me when I told her my name was Moe nique which was what my mother always called me. It sounded so much better when she said it. I met her when shopping for fabric while trying to keep my children from knocking over the displays as they were playing hide and seek

  2112. Hi! I’m in the US, and my fantasy name, which I use for D and D already would be Khalithra. She’s my drow elf cleric.

  2113. Thaaaaaank you for the opportunity!

    I’m located in Western Germany aaaand I love food and am passionate about food, so I’d love to be Commelier Perou 😁

  2114. Canadian here, if I was transported into another realm, I would probably call myself Ang, which would lead to me being treated as the lower lower class-no titles here…

  2116. I’m from the USA.

    I think my pseudonym would be Sylvia and nickname would by Sylvie. I always loved the meaning.

  2119. I’m Barrie from the USA. my brother nicknamed me Maggie over 50 years ago. That’s pretty much all he calls me so I’ll be Maggie!!

  2128. I am from the good ole USA. If I were in another world I would be my own real name Gayla Honey the Graceful and Glamorous because, hey, it’s a different world right.

  2129. USA

    Kylie the Cherie, Poet Extraordinaire, The Analyst of Data, Daughter of Trees and Oceanspray

  2138. Hi. USA based. My name would be She Who Glides Over Moonlight Water or Glide for short, because why not.

    Thanks for the freebie giveaway, I have lost hope of ever winning one of these, but even the flutter of the possibility is fun.

  2145. I am from the UK but I am currently in Antarctica.

    My name would be Mudgelica Antarctus of the Antarctic Dynasty 😉

  2147. 1. I’m in the U.S.
    2. I’d have to go with a fav from my youth well into YA years, Hari-mad Sol (i.e., Angharad “Harry” Crewe). I so wanted a Tsornin and Narknon of my own. 🙂

  2148. Australia 🌏
    Jessica the unsuspecting, Lady of Clumsy and Illogical Actions.

    Thank you great giveaway authorlords for throwing the horde a bone in these desperate and drawn out times.

  2149. Writing from the US, my novel name would be Eleanor. Some days I feel like Eleanor of Aquitaine; others I’m more like Eleanor Rigby.

  2151. USA (Camano Island, WA)

    Mimix, Magus Caninus and Head of the Royal House of Amber (in exile).

    IFKYK.

  2152. 1) USA
    2) I’d stick with Kate , because I like me and I’m happy to share it with a bad-ass heroine!

  2153. USA
    Desirée, The Lady of Reflections, Dez for short.
    For the last couple of years, much of my artwork has focused on reflections, especially through the lens of water. And I think Desirée is a lovely name.
    :o) {<;

  2154. Upton, Wyoming USA
    Wylene, just a different spelling of my name to make it clearer as to how to pronounce it WHY-Lean

  2156. Hey, I’m from New York City, New York and I’d probably want to pop into the world of Hidden Legacy. I think I’d keep my name and I’d want to be a polymorph of some kind.

  2157. USA

    And if we’re Isekai’d, do we get to take the place of the main character? If so, I’ll stick with Jin, it’s gender-neutral, google said so! (Beware of Chicken)

  2158. I am from planet Earth (born in the USA but have lived in Chile, Puerto Rico, New Caledonia, and back to the USA, then the Middle East, then back to the USA).

    My name would be bai xiang wu xian, which from Chinese translates to White Oak Wuxian (immortal warrior of the white oak). It does happen to be the Chinese version of the translation of my full name from a mash-up of French Gaelic. I play Taijiquan and Chinese brush painting, and try to follow the Dao. Frankly, I think House Andrews would have a blast creating a series in that culture. With Chinese dragons and QiLin.

  2160. USA
    Neutrino Novastorm.
    Like the subatomic particle, he’s nearly massless but even a light year of Lead can’t stop him!!

  2166. My name is Destiny and I am in the United States of America.

    Honestly, I would use my real name: Destiny. I wouldn’t want to have to learn to respond to a new name, especially in new and unusual circumstances. I would be too preoccupied trying to get a bearing on my new reality.

    Especially if I end up in the universe of Kate Daniels, which is my absolute favorite series!

  2169. 1. USA
    2. Something star/moon/galaxy related probably, like “Aeliana of the House of the Undying Star” or something. I would have been an astronomer in another life.

  2170. I’m in the US. I’d be Anita the Enduring since I’ve been enduring a lot of nonsense lately.

  2172. 1) US
    2) I’d go with Xena – channeling a warrior princess seems like it would be helpful in most settings.

  2174. Hi! I’m in the U.S.
    I’d keep my name but dub myself “Protector of stragglers,” mostly because I’m a slowpoke 😉

  2175. 1. USA
    2. Akíntúndé Yéjídé , 7th in her line, 1st to disappear into a novel

    Ah-keen-toon-day =the warrior returns and Yay-jee-day = image of her mother.

    My real life name is Yoruba and I love the meanings behind them. My pronunciations might be off a bit it’s hard to replicate some sounds – like soft j’s and soft t’s and I’m not a native speaker.

  2176. Belgium

    I actually like my real name and think it’s got some fantasy vibes. But I’d like to think that in full it would be something like:
    “Lady Davinia, mother of Dragons, keeper of the sacred flame”

  2177. 1) USA
    2) Geneva, because I like my name, and if any of my friends or family were transported to that book world, they’d be able to find me. Although I would name my trusty steed Dragon, would want to scare off any foes…

  2180. 1. I am from the USA. I grew up in ATL, so I enjoy all the landmarks in the Kate Daniels books.
    2. I name would be Gwendalen. I’ve always loved the name Gwen because of King Arthur.

  2197. Philippines

    Halecx, Dananu Ud Kalam Shinar, she who brings the light to the ruins. Where she treads, the shifting magic will find its anchor, and the people of the land shall remember what it’s like to walk without fear of the dark. Here comes the Princess of Light!

    Okay, had so much fun with this?? Hoping the title translation is somewhat right, had to get help for this! Hahahaha! Love love your books!!

  2198. Currently residing: United States

    Name I chose to use for every RPG game: Rhilyn, the Cat Lady of Rivendell

  2204. I live in Canada.
    For my name, I would like the title: Geallach Mong Rua – The red maned moon.

    One of the best random number generators is on Roll20 for their dice roller. Type in “/r 1d[number of entries]”. They use lava lamps to create an image, that is then hashed into a random number seed. Since the lava lamps are unpredictable it makes the seed and hash unpredictable.
    Also, lava lamps.

  2205. I’m in the USA (Tennessee).
    my name would be Dianna Moondreamer a moonmage and wise woman of Arvon.

  2206. 1. USA
    2. Anjuli Lucija Bhadurihauck, first of her name, offering of Light, the Clear sighted, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Master of Science, Wife of Prior, Mother of Savage Daughters

    offering of light is the actual meaning of my name (my mother likes to be poetic) and my grandmother’s name is contained within my name. My last name is my mothers side and my fathers name put together. I continue this new tradition with my children (maternalpaternal).

  2214. USA
    Old Lady Rachel, tired plant lady that lives in the deep woods. (So that distance and creep-factor of the old-growth forest deter visitors.)

  2219. What a wonderful reward for the BDH’s attempt to practice those virtues that cannot be named.

    1. This is the question I dread the most. I am from Wiesbaden-Dotzheim, Germany. I now live in Wisconsin with lots of stops along the way.

    2. If I were transported into a book that I knew, I would likely take the name Anrin. If pressed, it would be Anrin of the Long Sky Clan.

    Thank you, and take care. I am going back to practicing virtues I don’t possess.

  2229. I live in Fremont, California in the USA.
    I like my name, even though nobody knows how to pronounce it.
    Tere (pronounced like Terry)

  2266. USA
    Morgan the etc., purveyor of fine teas, guide through the mysteries of bookstore lore, owner of Many Large Sunhats, handmaid to naked cats

  2271. United States of America
    My name would be Calamity Clare, and most likely, everything that could go wrong, would. I feel like Maggie and I would get along great 😂

  2279. I’m in the US. In a Urban Fantasy world I would like to be named Mary Crowe, unassuming and quiet back office worker that can fulfill outrageous requests within reason.

  2291. USA, My name in any book world would be Aisling or whatever language specific name in that world means dream/dreamer

  2298. coming at you from the cheese capitol of the US (Wisoconsin),

  2318. Hi
    I am from USA.
    My name is Di-Yan. Gifted to me by by one of the creators of the Elixir-of-Life, my local coffee barista.

    🙂

  2320. USA
    My name is Diana and honestly I wouldn’t mind seeing more Diana’s pop up in the books I read. Thanks for Beast Business!

  2322. Hello everyone from Arizona USA. It would be fabulous to be in a book…my book name would be Io

  2323. Hello from the Netherlands!
    I’m so excited for release day! We’re getting closer and closer!
    Considering people from different countries have trouble pronouncing Marjolein I’d probably be called something like “Marie” if I were transported to the world of Lord of the Rings. Definitely not Mary because that’d be way too close to Merry, flattering it may be 😉

  2325. Hello from Hong Kong! I’d probably something like Dread Sorceress Marie, Commander of the Feline Legion.

  2328. Hi, I’m from the United States.

    If I got to choose a new name I’d go with Cordelia because I love Anne of Green Gables. 🙂

  2330. USA. Crystalina, Keeper of Books, Connoisuer of Chocolates and Caretaker of the Beloved Gardens, Plants and Trees. Or “Alanya the All knowing”. Simple to say. Simple to remember.

  2332. I’m from the US. I can’t wait for the book!! If I was in a world like Maggie, I think I would go for more of a fantasy name. When I was younger, I wrote little fantasies where I spelled my name backwards and added some extra letters, and thought that was the best thing ever, ha. Erin –> Nirienda. Maybe that. Maybe something more exotic.

  2338. USA. Growing up I always made my name Thalia in stories because I have a Vietnamese name that most Americans can’t pronounce.

  2348. Greetings from Malta (Europe)! Looking forward for the release! my name would be Yanica the Disoriented lol 😂

  2349. I’m in the US. My book name? Hmm. Probably something like: AlliKisa, She Who Is Here For Her Cats, Books, and Tea Aficionado

  2351. I’m from Israel, and my name would be Karen – and I’d constantly be making comments (ranging from snarky to full blow annoyed) about how life was easier before my name became a pejorative term.

  2352. From Germany, currently living in Ghana. My name would be Akosia, based on the day when I was born (a Sunday. 😀)

  2365. I’m from New Zealand, living in Singapore. I’d keep Alana, as I love the name I was given 😊
    Thanks so much for including those of us from the rest of the world in your giveaways! 😘

  2366. U.S. And I think I would like to have the name Hemma, which is an old German name meaning “home” which is where I would want to come back to because of my beautiful children.

  2369. From USA

    I’d continue to go by Becca, at least in part because I think I’d need all my focus on surviving instead of remembering to respond to a new name 😅.

  2373. I’m from France, and my name would be Maël 😊 However I can’t think of a book I would want to transmigrate into, as I’m a creature of comfort.

  2376. Germany

    Rurik Berengar, the Chalant

    It‘s a name I suggested ages ago for a swordsman in the (then) very far off Maggie. I love it for its Nordic, Slavic and Germanic roots and the onomatopoeia. To me it sounds like the flick of a blade coupled with a sigh. And, as it turns out, the name’s etymology highlights the same traits Maggie makes her own in the extended preview: courage, resilience and leadership.

  2377. I am from Germany and my name would be Carol the Cat in one of Rita Mae Brown `s cat mysteries solving a crime

  2378. From the US, and I would go by Killashandra Ree (courtesy of Anne McCaffrey). If pressed for a title or role, I’d opt for Tamer of Stelkas. Then I’d try to live up to that.

    Fear my stelka army!

  2379. From Germany with kind regards. And the name would be… Alexander. There are on or two great previous owners for that name

  2382. Brazil or Brasil as we natives write it. My name would be Adalberon becouse I have that much body hair (Adalberon means noble bear) and would like to be know as a noble person by my morals even if know myself if you give me magical powers I would slid into a cackling vilain before you can finish saying power corrupts. But I love to be a wizard on Harry Potter universe.

  2383. My name would be Summer, and I am from a small town in Germany. And I would love to be transported into Kate Daniels world-if it wold not kill me.

  2384. I am from Australia. my name would be Lady Sage of Ninevh. one of the oldest listed libraries so I can find a cosy nook read, relax and enjoy the world’s I love

  2388. I’m from the UK, my name would be Bethelle, based off a nickname I’ve had forever but doesn’t make much sense written down 🙂

  2392. From the USA. My name would be Celestia Sinclair, it was the name of my first tabletop roll playing character so I think that I could answer to it reliably and I have always loved the name Celestia. If a title was needed mine would be Lady of the Misty Isle.

  2395. US
    I might use Aelithyr, which is my name in the SCA. It was chosen because I have trouble remembering other people’s names, and this one is very hard to remember, or even pronounce, lol.

  2401. The Lady Nina, Head Grimoire-Keeper of the Order of the Striped Cats with White Paws, She Whose Scritches are Unmatched.

  2410. USA
    Lady Autumn, Feeder of Shepherds, Thrower of all Fetchable Objects, Seventh of Her Name and First of Her Title

  2415. ESPAÑA, Spain

    I would name myself Dora, I think is easy in almost every world, Lady Theodora for my enemies

  2417. Germany
    Cleo Habustin, halfling, Priestess of family and home. She of the weaponized Good Advice – ignore it at your own peril!

  2427. Canada

    Kate, she who is heard before being seen, master of the partially undone and half finished.

    … and the nickname would be longer than the real name… because that would paint a better picture of me as a character than any actual title 😉

  2435. I am living in the United States and my name on every other day is Grandmaequalscookiesandkisses.

  2442. USA

    Carleen McQuade, latest in a familial line that tends Nessie and keeps her legend alive but actual location secret

  2452. From Luxembourg with Love!

    Nike, the Unforgiving, Reaper of dark Hearts and sinister Secrets, obedient Servant of the great Cats of the House!

  2457. Hi from Canada!

    Going through a video game phase at the moment, so I would be Shepard, Spectre of the Citadel

  2460. Im in the US! I’m named for my father and can’t imagine going by anything else, but maybe I’d change it to Dawn as a rif on Don and Donna. Dawn. Yep.

  2463. I’m from South Africa, specifically Durban. and my name if I were lucky enough to be in a book would be “🌊⚔️ Seralyth Stormweaver ⚔️🌊” IV ready your books so many times. it’s my second life. thank you for the many adventures you have given me.

  2466. Since my name translates as hope and i’m a middle child, I would probably be Hope, the peacekeeper!
    Writing from Greece

  2469. USA

    They call me The Scholar. No name. Find me in the biggest, most labyrinthine library in the kingdom. Maybe I brushed my hair yesterday? Please bring coffee.

  2474. I’m from the US. I think if I were to choose a fantasy alias it would be Kieran, it’s always sounded appropriately fantasy, while having good options for nicknames, and not being too long to yell in a fight.

  2477. I’m from Slovakia. My name would be Miamar.
    I use this name as my avatar in all games, so why not in Isekai 😂

  2478. I am from Slovakia.
    I would use my surname Peregrin, because I would travel a lot to explore this new world.

  2482. USA here!

    I’d go with a “trageideigh” version of my real name (I personally think they’ve got a lot of fantasy influence!)….Mah’rhiys’ca! Gotta have the extra apostrophes, more means more power.

  2490. United States
    Shayla of the Blossoms
    Grower of all things chlorophyl
    Lover of Sir Timothy the Seeker of Truth
    Reader of ALL the books

  2492. I’m in the USA and I think I would like my name to be Anastasia, Ana or Stacy depending upon who we’re interacting with… love your books, always looking forward to new or more🤗

  2494. which country you’re from – US
    what your name would be, if, like Maggie, you would find yourself transported into a book (any book, by any author). — I’ve used online Mishandra for time immemorial when I had a character. 🙂

  2499. I’m entering from France and I’d enter the world of Kate Daniels as Selena Llena trying to work for bio hazard in order to help with the magical catastrophe and to have good dentals.

  2505. From the United States. My fantasy name would be Elle. For some reason that’s always the name I pick for Harvest Moon, Rune Factory, etc. LOL

  2506. From the Netherlands.

    Playing DnD again since a long time so I’d go with something like Nyxadora Nightwither Druid of the Forbidden forest.

  2513. From Türkiye.
    My name is Mine (Turkish for forget me not flowers) which would be really strange to say the least 🙂 So I’d love my fantasy name to be Yakamoz.

  2517. In this dystopian novel, set in the United States, I am Kathy. Were I suddenly transported like Maggie, I would probably still be Kathy.

    But maybe I could become Polly Stichum, Guardian of Needleworkers and Evergreen Ferns.

  2521. USA. And I would be Elios, which was the Greek god of compassion and kindness. My husband picked it for me for my first science fiction Con badge and I try to embody it as much as possible.

  2525. This is not related to the above blog post but it’s not a technical issue with a book, so I didn’t feel I could email.

    I came across a book that looks like it ripped off the cover of Diamond Fire. The book is Bone Witch by D. N. Hoxa. It’s the covers on audible. Just thought I should let someone know.

  2526. USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

    They call me Gozinia, Peter Gozinia!

    aka Dick Johnson

    (yes im still a 12yr old and feeling goofy today, as well as being the stereotypical vulgar american. what of it?) 😀

    -cant wait for the new book!

  2529. USA

    I’d go by Dim. My real name is rough enough for folks to pronounce in my own world, so I’d trend towards something dumb and easy. Dim also means “egg” in my mother tongue.

  2530. From the USA
    …I usually go with Cordelia when naming my character in video games, after Mile’s mother in Lois McMaster Bujold’s Vorkosigan Saga (and who young me wanted to be when I grew up).

    But in this case, I’ll go with my all-time favorite character name, courtesy of Barbara Hambly’s Darwath series: the Icefalcon.
    This name has it all – brevity, mystery, a touch of menace, and a definite article that is always part of the name, but only capitalized when placed at the beginning of a sentence. Sigh…

  2531. Germany – I choose Benedictus as my name and it would be my mission to protect us nice living creatures from all these curses that are uttered by evil spirits all the time, like “be pat*ent” or “please w*it”

  2535. Hi! I’m Erika from the USA! So, one of my all time favorite books is “In Other Lands” by Sarah Rees Brennan. It’s fantasy with lots of humor. Well, if I were transferred into that story, I’d like to join the elves in the book, who have vey unusual—slightly flowery—but warlike names, such as Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle (which as you can tell, she is pretty badass!). If I got transported inside the book, my elven name would be something like:

    Wonders-Why-You-Are-Yelling

    Or maybe…

    Patient-Until-You-Make-It-Worse

    Or most likely…

    Thinks-This-Meeting-Could-Have-Been-Better-As-A-Note

    Or maybe just…

    Sits-On-The-Ground-Staring-At-The-Sky

    😀

  2542. Hi everyone! Just got home from my weekend away for the hubby and my 34th wedding anniversary. Anyway I’m in the good old USA. My name if I suddenly appeared in a book would be Diamond.

  2555. US
    Lady Skylina, Conquerer of Orono, Scourge of Veazie, Loyal Knight of the Old Town.
    Sweep of the Blade.

  2556. U.S.A. and I’ve been through about a dozen such names over the years, since different worlds have different name styles. Right now, I’d probably name myself after my cats and go with Adra Vess.

  2559. International here, living in Spain! And I like my name, Annalise. Of course, here, it may as well be an unpronounceable fantasy name, as no one can say it without adding an -a at the end!

  2560. 1. United States officially. The Lost Land Of Sahkran unofficially

    2. Lynette Morisdoter, whose birth is a secret. So don’t go telling anyone or blood will be spilt. And it won’t be mine.

  2565. USA, I’d like to be called Jayne in the world of Kate Daniels. I definitely wouldn’t want my own name. Jennifer has some bad juju in that world.

  2568. Hello,
    I am from the USA and my name would be Beata (latin for blessed/happy woman). Ilona Andrews books leave me feeling happy and blessed.
    Thank you

  2569. USA. I would be Butterscotch the Imbiber, a drunken shepherdess who is the caretaker of a herd of magical goats (you’d drink too if you were responsible for these hellions!)

  2571. If transported to a different world, I would want to be Katrinka von Byrd which is kinda like my name, but cooler!

  2574. I am from the USA and my fantasy name would be Amandia. Because I would still recognize it as my name but it sounds cooler.

  2586. USA, and funny you should ask my name.

    Recently, five-year-olds that I read to at a local kindergarten pretended to forget my name (after meeting with me every week since September.) I proudly told them my ‘real’ name: Her Royal Middleness, Countess Gertrude Von Flugelhorn The Twenty Third And A Half Of Olde Jersey.

    I answer to this name anytime I am transported into a book. I also suspect I will now be answering to this name anytime I read to these littles in the foreseeable future.

  2590. United States.

    My full name would be She Who Is Not Called Kathrine, Christina or Kelly or Whatever the Hell Else Name You Tried to Give Her. (without Kristin in the actual title)

  2592. USA, and I’d be Cynthia Bradwick as I used that fake name as an adventurous (in my own head) 8-yr-old on a teacher workday escapade.

  2602. USA
    I go by Yo-yo when ordering food or making a reservation. If I got thrown into a book, it might become Yo-yo the Confused because I’m sure I would be.

  2605. USA

    Lorien – because Im a Tolkien fan, and love autumn leaves.

    P.S. I’m so looking forward to Maggie! I feel like I am living in those old Mervyn’s commercials… ‘open, open, open…’ But instead it’s ‘release, release, release…’

  2606. I would be Mae the most fortunate. (I have people I love, money for books, and relatively good health… fortunate!)

  2607. I would be Mae the fortunate. (I have people I love, money for books, and relatively good health… fortunate!)
    U.S.

  2608. US – I’m currently watching Schitt’s Creek, so I’m partial to the name Moira right now. I’ve always wanted something a little more distinctive than Hannah (I was one of four Hanna(h)s in school).

  2609. USA, and I kind of like the idea of combining my first and last names together, so Olivander it is!

  2613. I’m from the United States any the name I may choose could depend on which book I found myself dropped into, but recently Anatevka struck me as a beautiful name.

    Thank you for the giveaway, excited to read Maggie’s adventures soon!!

  2616. I am in the USA

    If I were in isekai’d into a novel, I would use my middle names. I really don’t get a chance to use thme enough. Lecray Elliott at your service.

  2617. US

    I always loved the name Aerin, ever since reading the hero and the crown as a kid – it feels just fantasy adjacent enough. And while I’d love to be The Wise or The Clever, realistically, I’d probably be Aerin, The Perpetually Kerfuffled!

  2619. I’m in the USA and I’d go by my middle name, Elisabeth, which I love and never get to use. Also, my memory for names sucks so I’d likely forget to respond to a name I completely made up.

  2629. 1- From The USA.
    2- I dont think I would want to (hopefully) stand out too much. I like the name Grae de la Guerra.

  2633. USA

    The Unabridged – I am clumsy and bookish but hopefully it would be mysteriously knowledgeable sounding enough to stop people from threatening me immediately.

  2637. I’m from Canada. When I was in China, my Chinese name was LiShu, which translated as beautiful poetry, so I think I’ll be a fantasy lute-playing storyteller that’s always welcome in inns.

  2641. Wow! My RL name is Shelagh, so that already covers the extra letters and confusion. I’m from Scotland, and I would be a merc in any of Kate Daniels stories. My name would be Rotunda the Magnificent and I would – literally – crush my opponents with my lushness.

  2644. New Zealand- and I’d still go by Catherine. It’s a timeless classic and that way I don’t have to remember to respond to it 🤣

  2645. I’m in the US. I suppose I’ll go w the name I’ve been using for awhile in D&D, BG3 and ShadowDark: Taswynn Torevir. That way I’d at least look when someone calls my name…

    Thanks HA and Mod. R!

    Is anyone else wondering if our Lady, she who is Untouched by Sun, may have some vampire type thing going on? Not that there’s anything wrong w that!

  2646. UK

    My name would be Summer, which I always thought was a lovely name. Knowing my luck, though, I’d get transported to a land where I’d die very messily (as per Guy Fleegman) before anyone thought to ask me my name.

    Thank you for the giveaway, House Andrews – very much looking forward to Maggie’s release.

  2648. I’m from the USA
    I would keep my real name, Dorothy since Oz jokes and if I ever have another dog I want to name him Toto, plus I actually have a pair of silver sequin sneakers. I’d also add Zen to the end, crowning myself Dorothy The Zen

  2649. I’m from Australia and I’d probably go with Lyra if I popped into the Guild Hunter world for a bit!

  2655. I’m in the US (although I’d prefer a PDF) and I’ve always liked Chiara as a name, so that would be my pick…

  2656. Long time, first time from the US.

    Francesca the ever caffeinated. Frankie to my friends and Kes to my besties.

  2658. Moin :-),

    and Thank you for the giveaway!

    1. Germany
    2. Lady Sancta Valedraco

    Take good care of yourself and stay healthy.

  2660. 1. I’m from the USA
    2. I would love to be Jillian the Intrepid, but fear Jillian the Quiet Observer is more likely!

    Thanks so much for your efforts- so looking forward to more books. Doesn’t matter the series!

  2664. Greetings from the UK.

    My book name would be Catherine the Relentless, and given the choice I’d get sent to one of my favourite historical advanture books. Think Alexandre Dumas and Michel Zevaco.
    Thanks a lot for running this, can’t wait to read TK, like anything you publish. Not long now!

  2670. Country:US
    If transported to a book, I would want it to be an idyllic one, as although I love reading about brave and strong characters, I don’t think I want to be one. I’d prefer to be named Sacha the Sage in the Land of Oz.

  2679. United States

    My book name would be Holz. I like the idea of using my nickname plus the addition of a fantasy “z”.

  2683. I’m from Singapore and my in-game name for a couple games had been Storm. It’s a kitschy name, but I think I would like to stick with it.

  2687. USA – if I got transported to a book, I’d want to start with my middle name so I actually recognize when people are talking to me while avoiding any accidental fae bargains. From there I’d add titles, so a few years in I’d be William of the Red Plains, Quick-Tempered, Defender of the Children & Master of Inventions.

  2688. ATLANTA, GEORGIA

    I would like to be the Mad Stomper. I don’t really know why …. but it resonates with my mood lately.

  2690. I live in the US and am originally from Spain.

    I’ll take “Pablo the Lucky” as my in-book name…

    Hoping the name sticks and I win the book!

  2691. the US
    and I would be one of the crowd gathered in the remnants of office buildings around the Mole Hole watching Kate and Erra duke it out.

  2692. I’m from the US, and would be Jenn, Squasher of Cones. My family knows 🙂 Looking forward to seeing more of Maggie!

  2693. I’m from Rheinbach, Germany. And please believe me, my name is Maggie. In full Margret Zavelberg. So my name nom de guerre in the book would be Maggie. And the book I’d be transported to is the Kate Daniels oder Innkeeper series.
    I’d prefer an ebook or pdf though.

  2694. From the US (currently getting buried in snow)
    Book name would be Bethany The Dauntless (I can only strive to live up to the title)

  2700. USA

    Kaylee Brini, Third of McConaughey Drake Matriarchal succession, Hostess for the Southern Peninsula and Eternal Springs.

  2703. The United States of America (because just saying U.S.A. is pedestrian).
    Nome de plume: H.R.H. Princess Sparkle Rainbow de Lighte.

  2704. I am from the USA *wince*

    If I had dropped into the Inkeeper series, I would be known as:

    AUme ReadsAllNight
    Ravening Member of the BDH

  2706. 1. USA (Alaska in case that matters for shipping, we get charged international rates often)
    2. Marchioness Amethyst Brie, Ame to her closest friends (pronounced Amy)

  2708. 1) USA

    2) If I found myself dropped into one of my favorite urban fantasy series’, I would probably just go by Samantha – Sam, to friends. That way, if anyone ever calls me by my real name, I know they’re from this world…

  2710. 1. USA (Pennsylvania)
    2. Callista, the Beautiful and Brilliant (that was the name of my first kitty 40 years ago)

  2712. Midwest US (but New Zealand in my dreams)

    And,
    I would be Innkeeper Kate – with my Inn Ōuenuku (in New Zealand)

  2713. United States
    I have no idea what my name would be if i was transported into a story like Maggie probably just Katie

  2714. Canada and thank you so much for always including your international fans!

    I like my name (now, for a long time I didn’t), so I think I’d stay Kyla. Flair it up with a new surname and I’d go by Kyla Ashke.

  2716. I’d be Mim, (my baby cousins name for me when he was a toddler) and I’d be a witch in a Terry Pratchett novel! I would love to be in one of any of the Andrews books, but I wouldn’t last long enough to even wear a red shirt!

  2718. I’m from the United States! And if I were to have a fantasy name, I would 100% steal from Tamora Pierce and use Alanna because she was the first fantasy protagonist that meant something to me! And who wouldn’t want to be a female knight?

  2720. Alabama, USA

    Do I have to be a person? Can I be Bear, friend and partner of Ada Moore?

    If I have to be a person: Joy3, Librarian in oldest Inn on Earth from Innkeeper Universe.

    Please be safe and warm everyone facing blizzard conditions!

  2723. German, but living since 21 years in Lebanon as an archaeologist, much in love with its long and wonderful history and people. My name would be The Perseverant in any story as wild and uncontrollable and rewarding as Rellas! Having some of that in my daily life, but could use the magic

  2727. 1) Canada
    2) Sumayou – dance disciple (although in real life, I often sign up for things with the user name ‘of the BDH’)

  2732. USA, Marisol, Lady of Letters

    “Madison” is not the easiest name to say in a lot of languages (too many hard consonants) and I can picture a scene in a fantasy land where they fail to understand it and just pick one that’s more normal for the world, and the protagonist just goes with it.

  2737. USA

    I would hope to be transported into to Kate or maybe Innkeeper as they are the two that would have access to magic like Lyc-V or as Dina says, most humans have magic, they just have to learn to use it. I feel like not being part of a magic family in Hidden Legacy would feel like i was watching things from the outside.

    Anyway, my name would just be Genevieve in either place.

  2740. Canada, right in the middle close to the border. I’d be in an Andrews book. My name would be Elayna, Sorceress of the Ice, bringer of storms!

  2744. USA, USA, (ok, channeling the Olympics) busted!

    My name would be Dominatera, as in Dominating and Tearing though.

  2745. I’m in the US and I really like Catalina (was just re-reading Hidden Legacy) so probably Catalina.

  2749. I don’t know if you’ve read the military space opera by Elizabeth Moon about Captain Honor Harrington, but I feel like Honor works as an excellent fantasy-world name (alternatively, also works for extremely pinched trust-fund WASPs). I think it also works well since it’s a word that is translatable, so if you end up in a fantasy world with a bunch of different languages, you could pick the sound or choose to pick the word that means “Honor.” Adaptability; it’s the thing that matters most when you’re transported into a fantasy world, or so my reading has led me to understand. (I’m in the US)

  2757. 1) Portugal
    2) Lady Astrid Darkova, Private Master Potioneer and Royal Alchemist to the King and the High Court of Gelmnor.

  2758. Canada!

    When I was in uni (during the height of GoT), I bought the D*sney three peas in a pod plush and joked that I was: DeMarys Targaryen, Mother of Peas

  2760. I’m from the United States.

    My name would be Nadine, a name my brother gave me when I was sick for a long time and he made up a whole world for me. I became the Queen of Swilly and he was Sir Mortimer Butthead.

  2764. US

    Dera ni Riva, Order of the Perpetually Irritated

    This may be a dup. Apologies, but I think I zeroed out the first response

  2765. I’m from the US. I’ve been Laria Gwyn for so long it’s probably imprinted on my soul, no matter what universe I end up in.

  2767. I’m from Idaho in the USA. I would be known as Jud the Pacifist and would be a resident guest in Dina’ s Gertrude Inn in the Innkeeper’s series of Ilona Andrews.

  2768. I’m from the Lone Star State. I have a very unusual name so I wouldn’t change it accept for a minor spelling change. My name is Revell but I would spell it Ravelle, which is how its pronounced. I get tired of being called Revel.

  2771. I’m from the US.

    My name would be the same, Cally. If I was far away in the insane world of The Curse of Chalion I would want that little reminder of home.

  2774. Debi, Eater of Cheese, Fixer of Words, Escapee of the Frozen Tundra, now known as Florida Woman.

  2775. I’m from Japan.

    My name would be Danielle the Golden Weaver because I like to weave good fortunes and bring people together.

  2777. I live in the US. my name is Supreme Empress Ruler of the Universe or Seru to my friends.

  2783. Canadian girlie here.

    I am Kate, which is shorthand for Katalina D’Leir of House Leir, from the Continent of Pan’Gea.

    Please pick meeeeee!

  2790. I’m in the USA.

    I used to tease an ex bf when he called me Empress, that, indeed, I was Empress of the Known Universe. Drove him nuts, because I insisted that others led the Unknown Universe.

    So I would be Lexi Khan of the Known Universe.

  2791. Good luck everybody! I cannot be inserted into my books because I like pretend violence a lot! If I go in it turns into real violence. I love the cuttin, shootin, beatin, and all but I love that its pretend. Most of my books are violent at some point. I love it. Now I have some sexy faves but I will disavow the telling of those titles!

  2793. United States
    I would probably keep my first name or maybe a shortened version that I don’t normally use.
    Thank you!

  2805. I’m from Poland, and I’d be called Paulina the Dauntless, Lady of the Barren Lands and Mistress of the Muddy Puddles of Early Spring

  2806. We just moved to Japan so I already had to do a version of this and legally delete my middle name (fun fact, Japan is very particular about their kind of paperwork bureaucracy. Middle names mess up forms.)

    My fantasy name has always been Nethys (stealth archer build)

  2811. From: Jamaica 🇯🇲.

    Fantasy Name: Empress Ishalonquis the positive, she who believes life is all giving.

    Thank you for the opportunity House Andrews and Mod R.

  2813. I’m based in London UK, and my name would be Killer Sparkle Jade. Because I would be a cool assassin, with sparkles. And I love my real name.

  2817. I’m from the USA (originally Pakistan) and my fantasy was to be transported to Harry Potter books and go to Hogward’s and since I love my name I would still be called Bahjat 🙂

  2819. United States. I’d use the name a barrista wrote on my coffee cup during a trip to Sedona: Su Zen.

  2823. My name would be Gnaomi, it’s my character name in DnD (I’m a gnome) and I’m already used to responding to it 😂

  2824. I’m from the US (midwest area) and my name would be Krystaline, that has been my fantasy name since I was a kid (long time ago lol) 🙂

  2827. From: North Macedonia
    Fantasy name: Verena of House Jakar, Lady of Prophecy (mostly misfortunes and apocalyptic events)

  2830. From the US!

    I’d probably be something like Nico Paolantonio, the great dragon duchess, or something and I’d try to get a dragon or dragon like creature to back up my claim 🤣 keeping my normal last name tho bc I think it matches the hard-to-pronounce fantasy aspect 🤣

  2831. Chiming in from Canada. I’d probably go with Anoja d’Xaymaca to honour the pre-Columbian Caribbean population.

  2838. I am from the United States and I would be Maude the ever aggravated. I always feel that the person who has no patience for foolish highjinks, but who wants all the tea, should have a name like Maude to cement the mental feel of the sighs in the book 😂

  2855. I am from Midwest US
    If I found myself transported into a book my chosen name would be Kilishandri or Shandi for short.
    I always wanted an exotic sounding name.

  2856. 1. USA
    2. Megara: She Who Counts the Stars in Silence, Warden of the Wildling Brood, The Hound-Mother, Mistress of Fractal Horizons

  2863. I’m from Ireland.
    I would be called Pleiades. Just fantastical enough to be a cool character but also a fun name in general!

  2865. the united states, and Our lady of great pessimism, and unfortunately, rarely wrong Helena also first of her name 🤣🤣🤣
    (I am greatly annoying my coworkers this week but I hav managed to have a back up to any fires I didn’t manage to put out)

  2867. Finland

    The Unmentionable Ruthless Bookworm, Dilettante Knitter, Shiftless Procrastinator, née of tribe Much Ado About Nothing

  2868. Hi! Ashley from the USA

    Ashley sounds so modern, so I’d take use my middle name and ask to be called “Lydia of the Marshland Crows”

  2871. I’m from the US and I would like to be called Caerlin the Cold. (Not, like, cold emotionally. I just don’t like winter.)

  2872. I’m from the USA, and my fictional name would be Ginger Brodbeck, because I have red hair and love to bake bread ❤️

  2877. I’m from the USA. I would be called Fala, it’s my online username since I was 14, found it in a book.

  2879. I’m in Alabama USA. My Name would be Barbara the Benevolent One. I am a proud member of the BDH.

  2882. I’m from USA.
    My name would be Monique Wilson, mainly because I’m exhausted by the fact that people always pronounce my first name wrong, and since my last name is technically my husbands, I wanted to go with something different, and because while I hate Lorelei Wilson, I also connect with something in her.
