  1. Hello from Madrid, Spain!!!!!

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

  2. 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.

  3. I’m in the USA.

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

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  13. I’m from Germany.

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

  14. 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

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

  16. I’m in the US.

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

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

    • Happy Friday from Canada!
      My name would be Rubix the puzzler as I am always trying to make things work and solve problems but feel like I’m spinning around endless.

  22. 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!

  23. 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.

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

  25. 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!!! ☀️

  26. 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.

  32. Hello,
    From Colorado USA

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

    So excited and so grateful for all the wonderful stories

  33. 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.

  34. 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.

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

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

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

  37. 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.

  38. 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)

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

  42. 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!

  43. 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

  45. 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.

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

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

  51. 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.

    • Live in the USA western Virginia if I was transported I would be Graying for the boat I served on

  55. USA here!

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

  57. 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?

  60. 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.

  62. 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.

  63. 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.

  66. 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

  67. 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).

  68. 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.

  80. 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.

  83. 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.

  85. 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.

  89. 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

  90. 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)

  91. Thank you for the giveaways!

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

    I am from Germany

  93. 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. 🙂

  94. 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)

  95. 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.

  97. 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! 🤗

  98. 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.

  99. 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!
