Can you use a celebrities name as part of a fictional character in your book?
PaulGski
Only if you are very careful. It's best not to. The only way would be to use an older celebrity and have your character named after him or her, such as John Wayne Smith or Diana Ross Johnson. There's no way a character would have the exact same name as a celebrity his or her own name without seeming as if you're copying the celebrity, which is where the lawsuits come in.
Now, if the celebrity has a perfectly ordinary name such as John or Susan, and you want to name your character one of those names, it's fine.
