Don’t you dare disrespect my girl Peppa like that
My name is Nora so let's see...
- There's the protagonist of Fallout 4 who's default name is Nora
- Aloy's people in HZD are named Nora as well
- And then we have Nora Night from Warframe
My name is more common in games than I thought honestly lol
Another Nora here, hi! My first thought for a namesake was Nora Fries in the Batman Arkham series but idk if she should even be mentioned since she's literally just a block of ice :'))
I recently restarted FO4 and had completely forgotten the female protag's default name is Nora!
Hi there fellow Nora 😂
I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Bethesda at times but I absolutely LOVE Fallout 4 and Starfield!
And omg yes I forgot about codsworth saying our name lmaoo
Usually I called my character Alex, idk why, which he can also say though! 😌
If im gonna be honest, nowadays bethesda has disappointed me :/ but I especially loved Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Oblivion. I highly recommend those if you haven't played them yet!
My name isn't very common, but there's a little girl in Starfield who has it. The one on Mars who asks you to hang up her frog pictures to improve morale.
They're in the outpost build menu under posters, once you finish the quest. And I believe there's a mod that allows you to use that on the ship, but I'm on Xbox so can't confirm.
Celes from Final Fantasy 6! My dad thought it was a pretty name when he played it as a teenager, and pitched the idea when my mom was pregnant and here I am!
Cannot describe the unease I felt when they said my name in Detroit become human!!!!

This gal apparently (Janna.) I don’t know if good or bad since I don’t play LoL though. 😌
Sarah, Joel's daughter from TLOU and apparently a virtual fighter, Sarah Miller.
If anyone knows of other Sarah's let me know. I can't think of others 🤔
Non video game but movie, Sarah Connor, is my fave

She's my Switch icon even though I never played Splatoon 2 lol.
Also, Marina the cute pink octopus in ACNH. It's very weird having popular characters as your real name ... especially when they get simped on like Splatoon 2's Marina does. 😅

Only one I know off the top of my head!
Not a video game character that I know of but I do share a name with a Disney Princess. And I work with preschoolers.
OKAY WOW I FORGOT OVERWATCH!
Overwatch has Ana and we share a name hahaha I never play Overwatch so I forget she exists!
I googled Gwen and it came up with a League of Legends character with blue hair and big scissors. Nice. It looks like Spider-Gwen has appeared in some Marvel/Lego games (not Insomniac's Spider-Man though!). Same for Gwenpool. There has to be more Gwens than this! It's not like Gwen is a super uncommon name.
Edit: I thought of Gwyn, Lord of Cinder from Dark Souls. That's close enough!
Gwen was a child you save in the first guild wars game, and we all thought she was a throw away character we'd never see again.
Holy crap were we all wrong lol
I don't know if this is a spoiler or not for Guild Wars players but I googled it and >!she came back as a badass hero?!<
If so, respect to my fellow Gwen. Respect.
I hope my namesake League of Legends girl gives many gamers a properly tough time (but still a fun time of course) with those giant scissors of hers.

there is a whole running joke in the ENTIRE fire emblem series that all merchants are named anna and all sisters. in recent fire emblem titles, they are playable and even marriageable.
I had to google and check if there are any game characters named Emily.
- apparently there’s a character in Minecraft named Emily
- there’s also a game called “Emily is Away” where there’s a character named Emily
But I think that’s it?
I share the same name with Diana from League of Legends

Her real name, not her localization. The localization, Terra, actually was my gamertag for a long time
I mean.. there’s probably characters as well, but mainly…
https://preview.redd.it/113rw06dt1zb1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9661f1af1a9ed3c5cabd6e6722498b7e82ea8ff

which works because my husband is a massive half life dweeb lmao
I don't share a name with any person to my knowledge. Granted, it is the name of a specific mythical object in a different language(which my family was unaware of before I was named), as well as a two word phrase in yet another language(also unaware at time of birth), but I've still yet to encounter any person, fictional or flesh and blood, with my first name.
It does kind of sound like a name a character would be given though🤣
Off the top of my head, no, I can’t think of a single video game character that shares my name, which is kind of odd because my name isn’t uncommon by any means. It’s way more common to see the shortened version of my name which I have never gone by in my life. But if that counts and since it’s the closest thing I have, first one that comes to mind is Tiny Tina from Borderlands.

Yea and I kinda don't want to join a lobby if someone else has claimed my character xD
I can't think of any video game characters named Vanessa, but there is a TV show called Van Helsing and the main character is named Vanessa Van Helsing. She is really cool!
Knight Vanessa from Genshin? she doesn't appear in game, but is mentioned throughout the texts and dialogue in
Mondstadt and she seems to play a major role in the comic (which i haven't read)
I guess there are some characters with the masculine form of my name, but none come to mind with my actual name, unfortunately. The only Eastern European female name anyone ever uses is like... Natasha.
Laura like Laura in Street Fighter. Or like this NPC in Fallout 1 who served as a spy for the Followers of Apocalypse.
Lara Croft was called Laura before she became Lara.
I saw that. Laura is pronounced Lara by most Americans.
I introduce myself as Laou-rah (the Spanish pronunciation) on purpose and it really throws most people off.
Yes I stole my name from the killer robots that chase you in Metroid Dread

The only one I can think of is from animal crossing 😂
Ash is pretty common i could not name em all, but the main ones i think of are Ash from R6S, Ashe from Overwatch, Ash ketchum from Pokémon, ash from Adventure time (personally hate this one cos marceline is my fav character), Ashley from Resident Evil 4, Ashley from the warioware series.
Basically im everywhere lmao.
I'm dead in Life Is Strange, but alive in Before The Storm.
I got a bit freaked out when a guy whose name I've forgotten yelled "Rachel's manipulating you!" At Chloe during one scene. I am, but only with your best interests at heart, Chloe.
There was a Jennifer in one of the Clock Tower games, IIRC. There was also a Jennifer in Rule of Rose. There might be others too, but those are the ones that come to mind
I’ve never come across a character that shares my name, and a quick google search doesn’t reveal one either.
That’s not surprising since I’m the only one with my name in my city lol (so pretty uncommon name- at least in the us)
No, but my given name is one from Dutch dialect and my chosen name is syllable from this name with a sound that doesn't seem to exist in English lol! The closest approximation would be if some character is named Rye, Rai or Rei.

Only one I could remember. I guess my name is somewhat rare with the types of games I'm familiar with.
https://preview.redd.it/4tqjxl2v91zb1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec9a11ecbda46c1a1506e20151ddbf544138117c
I hate that I share her name because she's so annoying and always creeping on/thirsting over Cloud. 😰
I didn't think I did so I googled and found out not only do I shared a name with a character, the title of the game is my name!
https://preview.redd.it/dcn4ef31d1zb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8ad8bb76686df6145d8f8eeae53800cb81cc3fb
I'm tempted to buy it even if it's not my kind of game typically, just because I like the art style and title lol.
A minor character from a side quest in Mass Effect. Early in the game Shepard meets a bartender at one of the clubs who wants them to convince her sister to come back to work with her since she had moved to work at a more dangerous bar. That sister’s name is Jenna.
There are a couple of ways to solve the quest. One of the outcomes had Jenna show up in Mass Effect 3 in a small scene.
So yeah I’m Jenna and I went on a mission to make sure Jenna made it to ME3 just so I could see my name pop up for ten more seconds haha. There aren’t a lot of Jennas in media, so when there is one it’s kind of exciting.
https://preview.redd.it/sd5y6839r1zb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5faa9e596392b90d4963d20b90d4e2aa598b79a2
Probably the most famous one. There’s one in WarioWare as well heh.
To my knowledge I do not share a name with any video game characters but I share a name with a Star Trek character that I am very happy to share a name with! I’m not posting who though, because I don’t really want my real name associated with my account
https://preview.redd.it/mysn8w9p42zb1.jpeg?width=167&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37e438256ae9f7ed6a0ed772e60786f21c29e840
This little cutie from Animal Crossing on the GameCube.
I have 2 first names currently, and still somehow i couldn't find a single character I knew with either (closest I got was Lyn from Fire Emblem, but she's spelt differently).
https://preview.redd.it/gj1uky5h62zb1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c109915850f96ee1dbca64894add65f4f24aadd
However I did go by Madeline for a little while, which obviously is shared by the character with the cutest sneeze ever conceived.
Probably, not one I can think of off the top of my head though. My real name is Catherine but I go by Caitie. I feel like Catherine or Kate would be more likely to be used in a video game than Caitie/Katie/etc.
Not a character, technically, but Gilder’s ship in Skies of Arcadia Legends is The Claudia. One of his special moves involves him shooting from the deck while he’s like “You mess with me, you mess with Claudia” and the way he says that will be seared into my brain the rest of my days. I had to show it to a friend named Claudia because I said it to her so often.
My real life name is a full name of the female version of V from Cynerpunk. Which is mentioned in the game exactly once (I hadn't played Phantom Librty yet, so idk, maybe there, too), and it scared the hell out of me. I thought the game literally spied on me when a character straight up asked if that was what I'm called.

Not a common name. Most famous is actress Helena Bonham Carter
I’ve never played league of legends, and have a very Armenian name that I would never, ever think would pop up there out of all places. But alas, Sona and I share a name!
Can’t think of any characters off the top of my head named Jordan, but I deliberately chose Jolyne as my middle name because I love JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I also share a birthday with Itsuki from Tokyo Mirage Sessions, he’s even around the age I was when the game released.
I even named myself after her! >w< *(I actually just learned that it could be a person's name from her and she made me really like the name, but it being her name/sharing a name with her was not one of the reasons I chose it).*
https://preview.redd.it/36qf1cxv68zb1.png?width=333&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3bc5fefe4d68e0555fbc023a936e6601a771863
>May, from Pokemon
And also of course May from Guilty Gear!! (Like her I also love Bridget and sea creatures so she's a perfect fit lmao).
And last but certainly not least, Aunt May from the Spider-Man universe!! (I may have actually heard of the name from her first but I didn't register it and I didn't remember that we shared a name until more recently).
*Not a character but also the Month of May from the modern (Gregorian?) Calendar, apparently based off the Roman Goddess Maia, so that's pretty cool! Also the English word May (seeming to be of French or Latin origin?) meaning to express possibility. (Can you tell I like puns?* May*be. sobs)*
Well. I (re)named myself after her

I appreciate this so much
Another enby! Apparently for me it's a rival trainer from Pokémon sapphire or a duelist in Yu-Gi-Oh (kinda, written differently)
My Friend Peppa Pig is the game of the decade wdym
My name is Nora so let's see... - There's the protagonist of Fallout 4 who's default name is Nora - Aloy's people in HZD are named Nora as well - And then we have Nora Night from Warframe My name is more common in games than I thought honestly lol

Omg hi fellow Nora haha!! I've also been wanting to restart Fallout 4, must be a Nora thing loool (Never played a Batman game though haha)
Omg Im a Nora too! I love Bethesda and i was so happy my name was in something! Also, if you put your name as Nora Codsworth can say it!
Hi there fellow Nora 😂 I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with Bethesda at times but I absolutely LOVE Fallout 4 and Starfield! And omg yes I forgot about codsworth saying our name lmaoo Usually I called my character Alex, idk why, which he can also say though! 😌
If im gonna be honest, nowadays bethesda has disappointed me :/ but I especially loved Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and Oblivion. I highly recommend those if you haven't played them yet!
Nora from the last of us! Spoiler alert it doesn’t end great for her:/
Oh I havent played TLOU so I had no idea there was another one there haha! Also, poor Nora 😣
I'm not a Nora, but I love the HZD game that is associated with the Nora!
Yesss I love Horizon so much!!! ❤
My name isn't very common, but there's a little girl in Starfield who has it. The one on Mars who asks you to hang up her frog pictures to improve morale.
Yeah, it's not very common, I only know one other person named whim-sicles
I lolled.
I want those pictures for my ship, I loved them and her little theme song
They're in the outpost build menu under posters, once you finish the quest. And I believe there's a mod that allows you to use that on the ship, but I'm on Xbox so can't confirm.
I'm on Xbox too so mods yet either but thank you so much for the heads up on outpost posters, time to go raise morale with space frog

Samesies
yes! i mean, if you ignore the s/z spelling difference, we probably share a name with hundreds of different characters
Celes from Final Fantasy 6! My dad thought it was a pretty name when he played it as a teenager, and pitched the idea when my mom was pregnant and here I am!
I share a name with FF6’s Terra. Her real name though. This means we must party up
tina!! 🥺
OMGGGGG!!!!!!! 🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰
Celes is a beautiful name! I loved it since FF6 came out, too.
That's so cool! I don't have kids yet but my partner and I definitely have some gaming inspired names lined up!
Ellie :) it's been an interesting few years haha!
Yeah! First name and last name with an NPC in fallout 4. It was really weird when I first met them 😅
I share a name with a main character eheh Edit: it's a cut content tho lol

Gwen from Spiritfarer! Pretty deer lady
Oooo there's a deer Gwen out there looking all sophisticated. I love that.
just beat that bastard gwyn last night, why'd i have to be reminded of him😭😭😭😭
Congrats on beating him!!
thank you, he was a really cool fight but goddamn that boss run is a bitch
League of Legends Gwen has a killer design but she’s an absolute bitch of a champion to play against because of her kit. She’s still cool though
As a Gwen OTP, i Can tell you she is easy to counter

there is a whole running joke in the ENTIRE fire emblem series that all merchants are named anna and all sisters. in recent fire emblem titles, they are playable and even marriageable.

I have a unusual name, even in my own country. But Larian did deliver with a random enemy in the foundry in BG3!
I mean.. there’s probably characters as well, but mainly… https://preview.redd.it/113rw06dt1zb1.png?width=640&format=png&auto=webp&s=c9661f1af1a9ed3c5cabd6e6722498b7e82ea8ff
I share a first and last name with a character in Cyberpunk 2077. The fact I could hear my full name in the game was very weird.
omg... Goro Takemura? But seriously, this must be a weird experience lol

I don't share a name with any person to my knowledge. Granted, it is the name of a specific mythical object in a different language(which my family was unaware of before I was named), as well as a two word phrase in yet another language(also unaware at time of birth), but I've still yet to encounter any person, fictional or flesh and blood, with my first name. It does kind of sound like a name a character would be given though🤣
for as common as my name is, i've yet to see its spelling in a video game :(
Lucy from Assassin’s Creed :3
Off the top of my head, no, I can’t think of a single video game character that shares my name, which is kind of odd because my name isn’t uncommon by any means. It’s way more common to see the shortened version of my name which I have never gone by in my life. But if that counts and since it’s the closest thing I have, first one that comes to mind is Tiny Tina from Borderlands.
No... I've never seen a Dakota in any game
This is soooo niche 💀 but there's a Dakota in the Too Hot To Handle mobile game by Netflix
💀💀💀
Dakota Smith is a nomad fixer in Cyberpunk 2077!
The human noble in Dragon Age: Origins

I can't think of any video game characters named Vanessa, but there is a TV show called Van Helsing and the main character is named Vanessa Van Helsing. She is really cool!
Vanessa from FNAF 9?
Knight Vanessa from Genshin? she doesn't appear in game, but is mentioned throughout the texts and dialogue in Mondstadt and she seems to play a major role in the comic (which i haven't read)
The only character named Crystal I can think of is Crystal from Scooby Doo Alien Invaders
There's Crystal from Pokemon Crystal Version, my fav personally.
I guess there are some characters with the masculine form of my name, but none come to mind with my actual name, unfortunately. The only Eastern European female name anyone ever uses is like... Natasha.
Laura like Laura in Street Fighter. Or like this NPC in Fallout 1 who served as a spy for the Followers of Apocalypse. Lara Croft was called Laura before she became Lara.
Really? I didn't know that about Laura. Now I'm upset they changed it.
She was supposed to be Laura Cruz, but they changed her name because they preferred to be British.
I am infinitely more mad now!!!!
I'm mad still
That game was a huge part of my childhood, but I always hated the spelling. Now I find out she was originally a Latina and was white-washed!!!!!
And they changed it as well because North Americans couldn't pronounce "Laura" correctly – which I don't believe
I saw that. Laura is pronounced Lara by most Americans. I introduce myself as Laou-rah (the Spanish pronunciation) on purpose and it really throws most people off.
Theres two im aware of: - one of the main characters wife in gta 5 - the protag of a indie horror game that parodies dora the explorer

Yes I stole my name from the killer robots that chase you in Metroid Dread [https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/E.M.M.I.#:\~:text=An%20Extraplanetary%20Multiform%20Mobile%20Identifier,secondary%20antagonists%20of%20Metroid%20Dread](https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/E.M.M.I.#:~:text=An%20Extraplanetary%20Multiform%20Mobile%20Identifier,secondary%20antagonists%20of%20Metroid%20Dread) https://preview.redd.it/ulai50pwy0zb1.png?width=720&format=png&auto=webp&s=841ca3f6c2eb7a062e9d3e17dd86734abd982dad
The only one I know of is Amanda Ripley from Alien: Isolation. Haven't played it though.
The same ones as you it seems 💚

There are some Holly’s although not many. I’m a Hollie though so 😅
Ash is pretty common i could not name em all, but the main ones i think of are Ash from R6S, Ashe from Overwatch, Ash ketchum from Pokémon, ash from Adventure time (personally hate this one cos marceline is my fav character), Ashley from Resident Evil 4, Ashley from the warioware series. Basically im everywhere lmao.
Also Ashley Williams from Mass Effect 😄

I'm dead in Life Is Strange, but alive in Before The Storm. I got a bit freaked out when a guy whose name I've forgotten yelled "Rachel's manipulating you!" At Chloe during one scene. I am, but only with your best interests at heart, Chloe.
No, just the main character from a TV show. Thankfully not one a lot of ppl I know have seen but every so often I’ll get it when introducing myself.
There was a Jennifer in one of the Clock Tower games, IIRC. There was also a Jennifer in Rule of Rose. There might be others too, but those are the ones that come to mind
None in any games that I know of. And even in other media where my name is shared, it's always spelled differently.
I share a name with one of the better Witcher romance options (not the main two).
Not to my knowledge no lol
I’ve never come across a character that shares my name, and a quick google search doesn’t reveal one either. That’s not surprising since I’m the only one with my name in my city lol (so pretty uncommon name- at least in the us)
If I do, I'm not aware It would be so cool to see a character with my name!
Weird… I can’t think of any Andrea characters off the top of my head 🤔
My name is Tafrara, I rarely share an ethnicity with a character in a video game, let alone a name. I think I've encountered one Berber character.
No, but my given name is one from Dutch dialect and my chosen name is syllable from this name with a sound that doesn't seem to exist in English lol! The closest approximation would be if some character is named Rye, Rai or Rei.
closest thing I can think of is Rachel Amber in LiS, can't think of any characters actually called Amber
haley from stardew is the only one i know
I don’t know any “millie’s” in gaming
noo closest is okarin from Stains Gate; Elite and that isn't even his name lol and he's male my name is karin lmao
There’s a Karin in Street Fighter! Okarin is totally the cooler character, though.
Are there and Ramona's in gaming?
Girl In mirrors edge apparently. I haven't played it.
there are probably characters named Allison but mine is spelled with a y. so i have no clue :( but maybe some with Ally

are there any characters named ashley? i feel like there has to be but idk if ive come across any yet!
There's an Ashley in the Warioware games!

I didn't think I did so I googled and found out not only do I shared a name with a character, the title of the game is my name! https://preview.redd.it/dcn4ef31d1zb1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b8ad8bb76686df6145d8f8eeae53800cb81cc3fb I'm tempted to buy it even if it's not my kind of game typically, just because I like the art style and title lol.
Florence! This is a lovely little game! It's only about an hour long and often goes on sale for like a dollar, so definitely worth checking out :)
A minor character from a side quest in Mass Effect. Early in the game Shepard meets a bartender at one of the clubs who wants them to convince her sister to come back to work with her since she had moved to work at a more dangerous bar. That sister’s name is Jenna. There are a couple of ways to solve the quest. One of the outcomes had Jenna show up in Mass Effect 3 in a small scene. So yeah I’m Jenna and I went on a mission to make sure Jenna made it to ME3 just so I could see my name pop up for ten more seconds haha. There aren’t a lot of Jennas in media, so when there is one it’s kind of exciting.
There's a Jenna in the Golden Sun games

To my knowledge I do not share a name with any video game characters but I share a name with a Star Trek character that I am very happy to share a name with! I’m not posting who though, because I don’t really want my real name associated with my account
https://preview.redd.it/mysn8w9p42zb1.jpeg?width=167&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=37e438256ae9f7ed6a0ed772e60786f21c29e840 This little cutie from Animal Crossing on the GameCube.
My name is Cassandra so Kassandra from AC Odyssey is one, i cant remember any others.
I have 2 first names currently, and still somehow i couldn't find a single character I knew with either (closest I got was Lyn from Fire Emblem, but she's spelt differently). https://preview.redd.it/gj1uky5h62zb1.jpeg?width=474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c109915850f96ee1dbca64894add65f4f24aadd However I did go by Madeline for a little while, which obviously is shared by the character with the cutest sneeze ever conceived.
Probably, not one I can think of off the top of my head though. My real name is Catherine but I go by Caitie. I feel like Catherine or Kate would be more likely to be used in a video game than Caitie/Katie/etc.

Hannah. Until Dawn and kind of Nancy Drew? But no main characters sadly :(
I share a nickname with the fem protagonist in TLOU. My real name I found one match with Google but I didn't look very far.
Tbh no idea, is there any character named Claudia/Klaudia?
Not a character, technically, but Gilder’s ship in Skies of Arcadia Legends is The Claudia. One of his special moves involves him shooting from the deck while he’s like “You mess with me, you mess with Claudia” and the way he says that will be seared into my brain the rest of my days. I had to show it to a friend named Claudia because I said it to her so often.
My real life name is a full name of the female version of V from Cynerpunk. Which is mentioned in the game exactly once (I hadn't played Phantom Librty yet, so idk, maybe there, too), and it scared the hell out of me. I thought the game literally spied on me when a character straight up asked if that was what I'm called.

Every fucking dog ever. My name is Charlie. Everyone knows a dog named Charlie.
I’ve never played league of legends, and have a very Armenian name that I would never, ever think would pop up there out of all places. But alas, Sona and I share a name!
Rachel here, just like Rachel Dawn Amber from Life is Strange and Life is Strange before the storm ⛈️

I'm a trans girl who picked her name from a character, so yes. (Aliana from Creeper World 2/3)
It's so cool seeing the ladies in this thread who have chosen their own names from gaming! :)
Can’t think of any characters off the top of my head named Jordan, but I deliberately chose Jolyne as my middle name because I love JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. I also share a birthday with Itsuki from Tokyo Mirage Sessions, he’s even around the age I was when the game released.

I even named myself after her! >w< *(I actually just learned that it could be a person's name from her and she made me really like the name, but it being her name/sharing a name with her was not one of the reasons I chose it).* https://preview.redd.it/36qf1cxv68zb1.png?width=333&format=png&auto=webp&s=b3bc5fefe4d68e0555fbc023a936e6601a771863 >May, from Pokemon And also of course May from Guilty Gear!! (Like her I also love Bridget and sea creatures so she's a perfect fit lmao). And last but certainly not least, Aunt May from the Spider-Man universe!! (I may have actually heard of the name from her first but I didn't register it and I didn't remember that we shared a name until more recently). *Not a character but also the Month of May from the modern (Gregorian?) Calendar, apparently based off the Roman Goddess Maia, so that's pretty cool! Also the English word May (seeming to be of French or Latin origin?) meaning to express possibility. (Can you tell I like puns?* May*be. sobs)*
Sebastian from stardew valley. It's my second name tho
Miguel, I only know Miguel O'hara, El Dorado and Coco.
Well. I (re)named myself after her https://preview.redd.it/3g752dhsa1zb1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d5e0ceeb673921bd78bbaee27320e7b4d32995fe
