Lit FM: Books That Inspired Band Names

"To Kill a Mockingbird" may be the champion in this category, having inspired 90's punk-poppers Tequila Mockingbird shoegazers the Boo Radleys, and proto-emo warblers Atticus Finch. Steely Dan, as is well known, took its name from a dildo in "The Naked Lunch" and Heaven 17 was a pop band mentioned in "A Clockwork Orange." You can look up the rest.
