Stacked Books discusses why many YA books have the main character's book name in the title.
Since full names have been part of literary title history (Robinson Crusoe, Moll Flanders, A History of Tom Jones, Jane Eyre, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Anna Karenina, and even up to more modern classics like Harry Potter), using it for a book title infuses the sense of history and legacy before the reader even opens the cover.

Shirley and Agnes Grey too in the case of the Brontës.

Rivista Studio (Italy) features The Testaments and quotes Margaret Atwood:
«Quando ho scritto Il racconto dell’ancella non ho pensato molto al personaggio di Lydia. Nella mia mente l’avevo trattata come la moglie di Mr. Rochester prima di leggere Il grande mare dei sargassi di Jean Rhys, la immaginavo parte dell’arredamento, come una lampada. Leggendo Jane Eyre non pensi mai al suo passato o alla sua vita interiore. La vedi come un impedimento». (Valentina Della Seta) (Translation)
AnneBrontë.org shares their take on autumn.
