On topic I know a few people. I'm friends with Ristu Namine (utauloid) and a few others.
Same. I dislike seeing names from anime series, movies, books, and other pop culture sources, but I'm not silly enough to think I can really do anything about it so I just kind of silently roll my eyes when I see it. Even worse is when you have people that want so badly to be named Kirito or Sephiroth that they completely mangle the spelling when they (inevitably) find that it's taken. I mean, if someone beat you to it just suck it up and go hit up a random name generator on Google or something.

I recently put my trust in FFXIV's name generator and ended up with an alt named I'zimzizi Zimzi. I'm amused. :3
