A Goodreads user asked Gail Carson Levine:

While flipping through my copy of The Two Princesses of Bamarre, I noticed the dead queen's name, Daria... and also that it sounded familiar. Upon further inspection, I found it WAS familiar: Char's mother in Ella Enchanted is also named Daria. I was just wondering, are there any connections or do you just like the name? My little sister said to tell you that she absolutely LOVES you.

Gail Carson Levine The two Darias are entirely accidental! I didn't even realize I'd repeated the name until someone pointed it out at a book signing!
