Would Sir William Wallace count?
There's also Sir Loin of Beef, played by Goofy in an old Disney cartoon, from the era when those were actually funny. (A bee flew inside his suit of armor! ) Just in case we eventually resort to cartoon characters.

Dame Agatha Christie, good one tolkienfan. Acawalei, I don't think Tippet is a very common name even in England...check your genealogy though. Our family is related to the Motleys who fought with William Wallace, and also David Livingstone fits in there somewhere. My own addition : Sir Thomas Browne (writer?) I always wondered why neither Tolkien nor C.S. Lewis was knighted...
