I hate this.

But I mean, it's allowed so I'm like not going to say anything. I'll probably just roll my eyes and judge you and you'll never know. :3

In all seriousness, if I'm creating a character for me, my rule of thumb is that if the name is taken the way it was written by the original source, I should probably avoid it. For example: If "Ichigo Kurasaki" was taken, I should probably refrain from naming my character some variant like "Ichigo xHOLLOW" or something. It's a pretty good indication that that character is a popular one that is beat to death in character creation.

Also, lore names = win. My personal opinion, obviously.
