While it would be impossible to ensure that the character names you use have never been used before in the history of the written word, it would be unwise to reuse exceptionally well-known names such as Hermione Grainger or Oliver Twist; regardless of the legality, it would be awkward for the readers.

What is Copyright infringement and what do you do if suspect someone is infringing on your copyright?

Infringement is copying, altering, distributing, or performing/displaying a protected work without permission. The first step when you feel someone has infringed your copyright is to contact them directly and specify what they have used that you believe to be yours, and what action you want them to take (stop using the materials, agree to a license, etc.). If you cannot reach agreement directly, you may choose to involve a lawyer.

What are the similarities between trademarks and copyrights?

Both are forms of unlicensed copying, but it's possible to have one without the other. An example of copyright infringement without plagiarism would be uploading a track from an album you bought: you're not saying it's yours, but you're still copying it without permission. Plagiarism without copyright infringement would happen when you take materials in the public domain and try to pass them off as your own. Romeo and Juliet? I totally wrote that.
