Eva asked Becky Albertalli:

Does naming your characters have anything to do with the overall book? P.S you are beyond beautiful and I just finished reading Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda and loved it. Everything about it was so... sdfjof.

Becky Albertalli Thank you so much! To be honest, most of the time, I pick character names because they're names I love (even Martin). In this case, I was super careful with Blue's name, since there were so many clues involved, and the meaning of Simon's name did hold some significance!
