After looking around on the TTE Wiki, I found out that I do share a name with a character in the sodor-verse. Gwen, Godred's coach! Not much but hey.
But people I know: Thomas: Aunt's fiance Edward: Cousin James: Dad's friend, classmate Donald: Uncle Douglas: Math teacher, classmate Elizabeth: cousin Dennis: friend Billy: Dad's friend Derek: neighbor
Also, my mom had a Chihuahua named Lady when she was young, and one of my friends has a little black puppy named Duck. Yeah, I don't get that one either, but hey, there are worse names to give a dog.

The new head of the stationery department at Walmart is a man named Tobias, whose name sounds pretty close to that of a brown tram engine.
I've also got an uncle Stephen (or as we call him Steve).

I think there's quite a lot, so I'll not include numbers or who these people are (or were-I'm out of contact and/or haven't seen a number of them in years, and at least one died):
Thomas James [Would also cover Jim off the Mid-Sodor] Douglas (Doug) Oliver Bill (Generally as Will) Ben Rosie Mavis Elizabeth Emily Victoria Annie Emma Jeremy [The plane] Stuart Tim [Mid-Sodor engine] Christopher Ruth Jane [Skarloey Coaches] Catherine Steven [Topham Hatt III] Barry (Probably actually spelt Barrie) George Mike
Also: Arthur, as a surname Both Georgia and Georgina [George], and conversely Philip [Philippa{Pip}] A friend's facebook profile has 'Bert' as what seems to be a nickname A hamster called Henry (Oliver Percy - guess which 6 year old named him) Two more hamsters called Victoria and Elizabeth (entirely coincidental this time, since they pre-date the characters and I'd lost interest in the series at that point anyway) My brother had a gerbil named Elsie (Another coincidence - I have no idea where he got that name from) Peter and Sam, but as different people
I think that's it, but there's a good chance I forgot someone, whether that be a real person or a character.
