Is there a Mackenzie list yet? How about any form of Ally/Ali/Aly/etc.? Megan? Rebecca? I haven’t checked for lists, but these do seem to be popular. What about a list just for characters with uncommon names?

I don't see a specific one for Mackenzie/ Mckenzie, no.
General lists like "uncommon names" tend to be rather useless in the end, imho - they get BIG, and unwieldly, because everyone votes on them quite indiscriminently. It's better to do a more specific, narrow-focused list (i.e. Characters with Flower Names). :)
Rebecca is def. covered (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...), and
*edit: No, I CAN'T find an Allie/Alley/Ali list after all! :) Alice is listed, though: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...
Thx! Should I create an Ally list? I can think of a ton of books
What about a “nicknames in the title”?
I don't think so? I couldn't find one just for nicknames."Names" Will Never Hurt Me is inclusive of the word "nickname," but it's not for individual nicknames.
Is that a list that would get too big or would it be ok? I just mean ones that have a nickname in the title, not any character with a name (and like the nickname itself not the word nickname [man how many times have I said that?]). For example, This Journal Belongs to Ratchet. Also, I just made an Ali/Allie/Ally/Alli/Aly/etc. list!
It might get big, but I don't see any reason not to make it! You can never have too many name lists, lol.
More unrepresented names, if anyone has interest in making them!"Sage"
"Parker"
"Ursula"
"Celeste"
"Liberty"
"Genesis"

Just made a “‘Geography’ in the Title (Fiction)” list!
Ursula is a cute name for a turtle!No one's made "Harper" yet, as far as I can tell. If anyone is interested, have at it! :)
Question: is there a way for the creator of a list to remove someone else’s vote? I.e. if it doesn’t fit the criteria to be on the list.
Darcey wrote: "Question: is there a way for the creator of a list to remove someone else’s vote? I.e. if it doesn’t fit the criteria to be on the list."Yes. On the list's page below the title, there should be a link that says 'edit'. Click on that and it will take you to another page with a 'remove particular books' link at the bottom. Click on that.
You may need to be a Goodreads librarian. I'm not sure. You used to need to, but I don't know if that still is the case. If so, send me a list of the books to be removed and I'll do it.

I’m not seeing it. The list is titled “‘Geography’ in the Title (Fiction”. Why Geography Matters and Prisoners of Geography both appear to be nonfiction.

OK, apparently you do still need to be a librarian. I've removed them.

Just made that “Harper” list, if any of y’all are interested!
Unsure how I would search this, so I’m asking here: is there a list for titles that are like “The/A __ of __”? Example: The Geography of You and Me. I’d be happy to make one if there’s not, but I want to make sure I don’t make a duplicate!

The only ones I see appear to be specific to three word titles. Would it be too close if I make a “A/The __ of __”?
Yes, I am definitely a Listopia addict as you know.
Good on the Ursula list!Darcey, I did find this one which seems close.
A Something of Something and Something Titles
More unrepresented names!"Jean"

Is there a "Colour Name" list to catch the Indigos, Emeralds, Blanches and Pinkies of the world? :)
edit: I mean, I looked and couldn't find one, so just double-checking while also putting forward the idea. ;)

I thought there was but I’ll check again. Edit: nope, I’m thinking of a title list, not a name list.

Thanks, Rosa!!! I knew there was one - just couldn't call it up!!! :(
Gah, memory like a sieve. I blame sleep-deprivation
I am in a long-distance friendship with someone named Miriam. If there were a listopia with her name, I would read a book from the list whenever I miss her.
Just created an “Abby” list if any of you are interested! Also, is there an Elizabeth list yet? I can’t imagine there not being one, but I’m not finding it.
Ah, thanks! Listopia search has been giving me issues lately.

Yes, yes it is. That’s why I keep asking here if a list already exists lol
