Off the top of my head, I'm pretty sure Eleanor Rigby and Edmund Fitzgerald were real people, not fictional. Also, the Edmund Fitzgerald was the name of a ship as well. Maybe that's what is not like the other.
Not your best thread, Rex.

Eleanor Rigby was indeed a fictional character and the subject of the best song alluded to by this list.
Edmund Fitzgerald should not have been included because the ship presumably was named after an actual perrson.

In a neat churchyard in the leafy Liverpool district of Woolton, however, lies the final resting place of the real Eleanor Rigby - the woman widely regarded as the subconscious inspiration behind the classic song.
It was here, at the St Peter's Church fete, that John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the first time.

Those are fictional character names in a song that share a real person name. I did that especially for you but you missed Jack Straw.
Tom Sawyer was just b/c I know you love Rush.

Seems to me you're having much better luck peddling lies and bull crap on the poly board.

Agnes English
The lady with the funny face
Agnes English
With the lips I like to trace,
ah trace-ah
Another JF&HPBB song: Silly Sarah Carter (eating on a moonpie), which was pretty much a rip-off of his own "Judy in Disguise" for a different record label.
A couple of others I hate to admit knowing:
Jennifer Eccles - The Hollies
Alice Long - Boyce & Hart

They all call her her, "Puta"
'Cause no one really knows her name
She works the cantina
Dancin' and a-lovin's her trade
Her mama was Mez'can
And her daddy was the ace of spades
