I just thought that if we are allowed to include some Greek plays then we could also add:
Antigone - Sophocles
Medea & Electra - Euripides
In fact, now that I think about it most of their plays were a person's name (although how popular those names are today is another question!)

And a special recognition must go out to the huge series of novels in the Jeeves series:
"Carry on, Jeeves," "The Inimitable Jeeves, "And Thank you Jeeves, among many delightful others, by P.G. Wodehouse.
And the Jeeves & Wooster series of novels by P.G. Wodehouse:
Thank You, Jeeves
Right Ho, Jeeves
The Code of the Woosters
Jeeves in the Morning
The Mating Season
The Return of Jeeves
Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit
How Right You Are, Jeeves
Jeeves and the Tie That Binds
The Cat-nappers
And a special honor is due Agatha Christie who has ever so enriched my life with two remarkable characters that I have come to love and adore, the first, Miss Jane Marple and the second, Monsieur Hercule Poirot - and too many of her titles fit this category to list!.
