I know this isn't really very helpful, but you could easily do a search on wikipedia. If it's a fairly common name you might have a lot of articles to browse but it's a good reference to start from.





Also, babynamesworld has information on a lot of names that might tell you if it's a literary name. You can either check the information on the name itself (under 'Miscellaneous Info') or look for the list 'Literary Characters Names' under Categories.
Reply:behindthename.com is usually the most reliable source when it comes to names. Check out the comments section and message boards too. They should give you what you are looking for.
Reply:you could try just typing them in Google and looking through them and seeing if anything jumps out.
Reply:What are the names and maybe people could tell you if they fit with anything they've read?
