Now Viewing: namesake

Tag type: General

Name shared by at least two persons.

Use this tag when:

* A character cosplays 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 personal name or nickname are automatic namesakes.
* A one-name character can be considered a namesake of another character having the first character's name as either a personal name or a surname 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 surname are considered namesakes if they are unrelated characters from different copyrights.
* Can apply to parodies or crossovers based on similar parts of names, e.g. post #1021391 (Gilbert/Gilgamesh)
* Not counted as namesakes are dual personae of the same character, even if they appear in two different titles.
