can I use a character's name another book has
However, you _really_ can't use it together with the name of the character from the same book. It's illegal to try to make people think that your work is associated with someone else's copyrighted work, and there's no way you'd get away with using the same character name and the same title.It's a character name.ust the name/title. to others: it's sort of like you write a character who chooses to go by Tom Sawyer or Huck Finn when using an online handle, or within a secret-ish group. Update 2: Okay, so it's not really important to use the same BOOK title..it just seemed to me that was the obvious choice.
