I named a bunch of my birds after Ranger’s Apprentice and Brotherband Chronicles characters:

I've got 3 crosses between my Cream Legbar hen, Lavinia, and my Black Copper Marans rooster, Maurice. They all came out black with the copper hackle feathers. They're just about identical and so they're named -- jointly -- the deweys from Sula by Toni Morrison.

I read Sula about a month after they were established in the coop and still unnamed because I couldn't tell them apart. So the deweys was perfect! ...except that they're hens not male. But they've never objected to the name so they're the deweys!
 
The deweys are 3 boys who are adopted by one of the major characters, Eva. They just run through the story as a background for what else is going on. They're not the same age and don't have the same parents. They don't seem to have any names of their own. No one seems to be able to tell one from the other or even think of them as a group of individuals rather than an amorphous unit. They're just referred to as "the deweys". They don't even get an upper case letter.
