Well, my favorite literary character of all time is Laurie in Little Women <3
(I basically fell madly in love with him while reading the book!)
Anyway, Teddy is Jo March's affectionate name for him. She later named her son after him. I have recently been in love with the name Theodore, partly because it would honor my fave lit. character
Not sure I could narrow down a fave author, but I have loosely honored Louisa May Alcott, Max Lucado, and Laura Ingalls Wilder (and characters from her books) in some different combos.
I might think of something else later, but enjoy reading!

I like Phoebe and Holden from Catcher in the Rye a lot <3 Love love love. I have a love / hate relationship with Milo since reading Catch 22. I love it, but... idk. He's quite the character. Can't lie that Daisy gained more appeal to me since reading The Great Gatsby forever ago, though lately I prefer Maisie to Daisy. And oddly, I liked Maggie / Margaret more after reading Maggie, Girl of the Streets. Though that was a sad story. I do like Charlotte and Bronte a lot, obvious source there lol.
I like a lot of literary names in general. Nameberry has some great lists with a bunch of them, though I've not read all the books to each name.

Oooooh, I love this topic! I have a slight obsession with books (to the point that when I was a child, my mom only allowed me to pick books from the library because I read too fast and spent too much money at Barnes & Noble. Aye.) Anyway, here goes:
Atticus - To Kill a Mockingbird
Augustus - The Fault in Our Stars (Fav book of the last 5 years)
Isaac - The Fault in Our Stars
Austen - Jane
Fitzgerald - Gatsby author
Sawyer - Tom Sawyer
Finn - Adventures of Huck Finn
Jonas - The Giver
Forrester - A Separate Peace
Holden - Catcher in the Rye
Hazel - The Fault in Our Stars
Harper - Lee (author; though as I'm sure you already know, her given name was Nellie Harper Lee)
Millie - Fahrenheit 451
Daisy - Gatsby
Jane - Austen (author) and Jane Eyre
Tess(a) - of the d'Urbervilles
Ophelia - Macbeth/Shakespeare
Stella - Streetcar Named Desire (technically a play)
Primrose - The Hunger Games
Rue - The Hunger Games
Phoebe - Catcher in the Rye
Violet - Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Ramona - Quimby from the popular children's books
Matilda - LOVE.
Lousia - author of LIttle Women
Josephine - Little Women
Hermione - Harry Potter
Luna - HP
Charlotte - her web
I could continue, but I don't want to overwhelm you. Let me know if you want more! I told you, I have a slight huge obsession!
