Digory Kirke from C. S. Lewis's series The Chronicles of Narnia had only one "g" in his name. J. K. Rowling added another "g" for her character Cedric Diggory, who was indeed named after Digory Kirke.
Digory Kirke is also the Professor in 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' with whom the four Pevensie children stay in the country. He appears again in 'The Last Battle.'

Please don't name your kid Diggory. (Diggety-dig, enough said.)

Diggory Venn is a character in "The Return of the Native" by Thomas Hardy - pleasant, admirable and gets the girl!
