Its happened a few times, but its pretty rare... I don't really feel anything.

I share a surname with Asuka (Langley), and also like redheads, which makes me happy.

Doubt there is one, I just checked MAL characters search and there are some named Darius but none of them is called Dariusz or Darek in specific.

If there was I just wouldn't care really.

I honestly don't like it lol.
Most anime characters with the same name as me annoyed me though. There was this anime where one of the MC have a famous line for that girl with the same name as me, so I've been teased about that for years. lol

It's quite rare to have a character named Paul pass by in anime, as I've only seen it in a single anime from what I can remember.

I don't really care tbh. A name is only a name.
I'm not a lolicon, you're just projecting your tendency to lewd 2D characters.

If your favourite character is Tsutsukakushi Tsukiko, you are my soul mate.

Been a long time since I've been here, I'll continue expressing myself freely and believe everyone should too.

No anime character share my name and they never will ^w^
Maybe if I get a daughter I would name her Rem because she is my favorite character in Re:Zero ^w^

Well my second name is quite a popular one, but no one calls me by that name so I feel nothing. If it's my first name, then I'll be surprised since it's quite a rare name.

Well, my name is relatively rare, but I've met a few people who have the same name in my lifetime.
So meeting such a name in anime will not affect me much, but I will probably be happy.
Search function says there are 2 people with my given name, and 2 people with a patronymic derived from my name. And I have only seen one of them before, without knowing that patronymic. My country is sometimes represented in anime.

I don't know. Never happened and it is improbable that it will happen.

Nevermind. After looking it up, there are four characters with the same spelling of my name (And one is from a hentai ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) , but they are all pronounced differently. If that counts.

There's a girl in Baccano named Rachel. She's pretty badass so I'm happy to share names with her haha. I was really surprised my name would show up in an anime though.

I feel awesome! :D

That being said, however, the following characters share the same first name as me...

- Jessie Gartland (Battle Athletess Daiundoukai)
- Jessie Jackson (Blue Ramun)
- Jessie (Pokémon)
- Jessie Iges (Soukou no Strain)
- Jessie Jaguar (Paboo Mojies)
- Jesse Anderson (Yu-Gi-Oh! GX)
- Jesse Blue (Saber Riders and the Star Sheriffs)

Total Characters: 7

P.S.
Five of the animes I've never heard of and/or seen before - can you figure out which ones? ;)

I just found 25 characters with the same name as I have [I have a way too popular and super mainstream name], usually they're all side characters and most often European/American. it's just a name and I usually don't realize I do have the same name as those characters, but I think it still might give me a somewhat happy feeling when I do realize a character wears the same name as I wear.

I just googled it, here are some, just no loads and most of the anime in which they are in aren't too famous. Although there even are some side character within the top 200 most popular anime [kekkai sensen, gangsta] and there's even a cat called Daniel

Haha, apparently there's two characters with my first name. One uses it as their last name. Weird, considering only South Asians use this name. No one has my middle or last name, which is weirder because they are more common.
