1. Celaena Sardothien from Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas - Seriously she has the coolest name ever.
2. Tris from Divergent by Veronica Roth - Tris. Short and fierce. I like it.
3. Four from Divergent by Veronica Roth - Four. Well, that's unusual by default.
4. Deznee from Denazen by Jus Accardo - A very unusual name because of what it means.
5. Magnus from The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices and The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare - I have to say, it sounds deep and husky and adds a dark streak in this name
6. America from The Selection by Kiera Cass - Although not my favorite female character in YA novels, I'd say she has a pretty cool name for a country who wants to leave the old US behind.
7. Day from Legend by Marie Lu - Day is just a nickname, but its meaning makes the nickname unusual
8. Elder from Across The Universe by Beth Revis - Elder is not necessarily a name. But it's totally not normal to call yourself Elder, right?
9. Karou from Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor - The name has a nice ring in it. And hey, it's unlike every name I've ever seen
10. Akiva from Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor - Same reason as 9
What are your choice of unusual names? I'm curious :)
I've got to admit, naming someone America and Four is kind of weird.. Great list you have here! ^^
