For Q, I found Tantalize by Cynthia Leitich Smith. It's YA paranormal whose main character is Quincie.

I'm having trouble with U, X, and Y.

If you like Paranormal you could use:
Xhex In Black Dagger Brotherhood - She had a big part in Rhevenge's book.
Urian in Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter books, he had a large part in Cassandra & Wulf's book.

Quite a few Stephen King books including It have U named characters.

I'll have a think on others...

[Annvelwis]

There's an Oliver in the Morganville Vamp books by Rachel Caine.
For L, I'm using Lucan Thorne from A Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian. There's also Lachlain from A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole.

[Annvelwis]

Thank you, Jan! :D For some time now I've wanted to read Rachel Caine's series. This'll give me more incentive, heh.

[[deleted user]]

You're welcome :)
Oliver isn't a main character per se, but I think he is instrumental enough in the plot to count.

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ]

In some cases... I'm going for side characters when desperate. lol I'm going to use Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows so I can count Xenophilius Lovegood for my "X" character. :)

Done with another one? This one launched not so long ago... Holly cow!! Errr I mean: CONGRATS. Wow!

[Annvelwis]

Thanks ;D Yeah, I coompleted it in 6 weeks or so ;) It's the easiest one of the A-Z, I think. In every book there's at least 2-3 characters, sometimes more, which names can be used.
Now I'm worried though. I don't have a lot of challenges left.

[Kasia]

there are always the monthly ones?
