I'm afraid I can't compare to the source material as I havent seen classic who but Jamie Fraser, the male hero/lead is named after that dude and the guy who played him. But the actor isn't a 6'3 redheaded Highlander so it doesn't count! Trufax.
Jamie Fraser is based shamelessly off of Jamie McCrimmon, played by Frazer Hines, who was an 18th-century Highlander. Who travelled in time with the Doctor. Only, you know, her version doesn't include a Time Lord or something, idek.
Why yes, I certainly can see the . . . "inspiration". Nah, Claire's no timelord. She's just from the future and tries to stop the Jacobites and the massacre at Culloden.
Sadly, the books are eating my brain so I will be going through all...6 I think.
