Characters With Anime Names

There's at least 3 people on my server named "Kenshin Himura" (with various spellings) and at least 1 retainer.

That series is so, so good
On the list of "things people apparently overlooked" along with Michiko and Hatchin

I'm one of those people who eye roll a little when they notice it. I'm okay with funny names and such but I can't help but wonder why when I see "Daenerys Targaryen" - or any butchered alternative - roaming about. Albeit, what bothers me most are NPCs, especially if it's one I actually like and that person is treating it as though they are their own OC.

I like Y'shtola. You are not Y'shtola.

My FC is actually full of people who do this. A lot of people in my FC just created alts and started naming them after the Scions and other important characters.

We have a:

Haurchefant Senpai
Ser Aymeric
Scion Y'shtola
Antecedent Minfilia
Inspector Hildibrand

I think it's great.

My main's name I got it from slavic mythology and then after I saw various characters with that name I remembered ................................ that that name was used in Trinity blood. My Alt has an Xaela lore name but she isn't an au ra anymore <o<;

Tho on my server there is Princess Serenity, I saw also Prince Enymion; as somewhere before there are tons of Kiritos....

Edit: forgot in DF I saw Kaede Rukawa, Derek Hale, Nick Fury.....

My main (Millerna Astor) has a name from an anime (I did change 1 letter in her last name, just because I thought it sounded better than the original), although apparently the anime is too old for a lot of players to have seen it, so not that many actually know about it ;)

My alt's name (Jennet Mucklehoney) is a name I've used since Dark Age of Camelot many years ago. It's a real life first name and a last name I took from 1 of my guild members in DAoC.

Nothing makes me cringe more than characters named after pop culture figures. Or any figure for that matter. If I got a penny for every Stark, Highwind or Naruto I've seen I'd be rich.

On the other hand, my last name came from this cutie:

OH WELL

I occasionally get asked if my name is supposed to be a spin on Kakashi from Naruto, which I kindly decline. I've been using Akashi since I was 10ish, since my grandma showed me a bridge from Tokyo with the same name. Since then I used it for my female characters in PSO, FFXI, my tag for Smash tournaments, and now for 14 as well. It's a bit awkward that my character's gender is male, and Akashi is a girl's name, but eh, I still find it endearing. On the lore side of things, his last name is Mousai (goddess of fortune/music) and he's a Bard. :s

I'm guilty of doing the same thing on rare occasions but I do have a full name I always use in other games. My current name, I'm surprised many on my server, don't know where it's from. If I do use an anime name, it will always be from a very minor character or a highly unknown character because I hate having the same name as everyone else.

Ooooh I remember seeing a Yugi Muto running around, that was kind of cute.
