That is true, character names and book titles can be trademarked (though not copyrighted) but it would be unusual and it would look very strange too (since,in the U.S. at least, the little "r" in a circle would have to appear after each name). It's as commercial labels that these single names and logos and drawings and even sounds and colors are used. In any case, that is not what we are discussing here. We are discussing originality which is the test of copyright: if it's original it's copyrightable and protectable. (Use in commerce is the test for trademarks).
