Alice
Alice in Wonderland was first made up to entertain a little girl who Carroll was friends with, called Alice Liddell. Carroll has made her the star of the story and many things in the book refer to things in Alice's real life.
Elsie, Lacie and Tillie
At the Mad Tea Party, the Dormouse tells a story about three little girls who live in a treacle well. Their names, Elsie, Lacie and Tillie refer to Alice and her sisters; Elsie is LC, or Lorina Charlotte, Lacie is an anagram of Alice and Tillie is an abbreviation of Edith's nickname, Matilda.
The Lory and the Eaglet
This is another reference to Alice's sisters. The Lory and the Eaglet, who Alice meets in the Pool of Tears, are Lorina and Edith Liddell.
The Dodo
The Dodo is Lewis Carroll himself. Carroll's real surname was Dodgson, but because he had a stammer he used to pronounce it do-do-dodgson.
The Duck
The Duck is Carroll's friend Robinson Duckworth. He was also on the rowing trip where Carroll first told the story to Alice and her sisters.
Several other curious creatures
Along with Alice, the Lory, the Eaglet, the Duck and the Dodo, "several other curious creatures" swam to shore after getting soaked in the Pool of Tears. These refer to Carroll's sisters, Fanny and Elizabeth and his aunt Lucy Lutwidge, who had been on another rowing trip with Carroll and the Liddell girls.
The Hatter
Although the Hatter may have simply been created because of the well known saying "as mad as a hatter" he might also have been based on a real person.
From Martin Gardner's annotated Alice:
There is good reason to believe that Tenniel adopted a suggestion of Carroll's that he draw the Hatter to resemble one Theophilus Carter, a furniture dealer near Oxford...Carter was known in the area as The Mad Hatter, partly because he always wore a top hat and partly because of his eccentric ideas.
