Name shared by at least two persons. Use this tag when: * A character [[cosplay]]s as a character sharing the same name. * A [[crossover]] occurs between two or more namesake characters. * A combination of the first two (a [[costume switch]] crossover) * A reference made between a character within the scene and a namesake who is entirely absent in the picture (such as a [[voice actor connection]]). To qualify two characters as namesakes, one must consider the following: * Characters with the same [i]personal name[/i] or [i]nickname[/i] are automatic namesakes. * A one-name character can be considered a namesake of another character having the first character's name as either a [i]personal name[/i] or a [i]surname[/i] if both are mostly called the same way. Examples are: ** [[ookami_(game)|Ookami]]'s Sakuya can be considered as [[Izayoi Sakuya]]'s namesake because both can be called "Sakuya". (post #513636) ** [[Saten Ruiko]] and [[Needless]]' Saten can also be considered namesakes since the former is mostly known by her surname. (post #585617) * Two or more characters sharing the same [i]surname[/i] are considered namesakes if they are unrelated characters from different copyrights. * Can apply to parodies or crossovers based on similar [i]parts[/i] of names, e.g. post #1021391 ([b]Gil[/b]bert/[b]Gil[/b]gamesh) * Not counted as namesakes are [[dual persona]]e of the same character, even if they appear in two different titles. h4. See also * [[Pun]] - Same concept, but generally tackles words. * [[Object namesake]] - When a character is paired with an object that refers to their name. * [[Kanji connection]] - subset with the same concept, aimed at kanji letter.
