Name: Gilderoy Lockhart

Name meaning: "Gilderoy" was also the name of a famous highwayman of ballad fame who was reputedly handsome.
"Lockhart" is an Austrailan town near Wagga Wagga. "Wagga Wagga Werewolf" come to mind? Thanks again to Kate C. (There's also a Lockhart, Texas!) Another odd parallel that I came up with was to John Gibson Lockhart, a Scottish lawyer and writer, most famous for the authoritative seven-volume biography of his father-in-law, the novelist Sir Walter Scott. Ok, so it's not self-glorifying, but Gilderoy Lockhart had 7 books on the students' reading list (this does not include Magical Me or the Guide to Household Pests).
Also, although I think the "Beecham Sourcebook" is a load of tosh, Schafer has a parallel that's just too hilarious to pass up: "His name suggests that he is like a gilded locket, something pretty to look at but that does not hold much substance." (from What's In A Name)
