Line 3:
* ''[[Forward]]'' has three different criminal groups using the name "Talon" - two of whom are on the same space station. Apparently none of these criminals are terribly creative.
* ''[[Kyon: Big Damn Hero]]'', by including characters from ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'', ends up with two characters with the given name Keiichi, who are about the same age and have similar occupations. Though Tamaru Keiichi, the canonical ''[[Haruhi Suzumiya]]'' character, is extremely minor and may not even appear more than once.
* [[Discussed Trope|Discussed]] in ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6479988/1/Grace_Under_Pressure_Courage_Under_Fire Grace Under Pressure, Courage Under Fire]'', when [[Glee|Kurt]] asks Dave why he uses his friend Azimio Adams' first name, but his other friend Anthony Rashad's [[Last-Name Basis|last name]]. Dave explains that while there is only one [[Awesome McCoolname|Azimio]] at school, there are several Anthonys, so calling him Rashad is really just a way to avoid confusion. (Note that Anthony Rashad is the only Anthony mentioned in [[Canon]].)
* In the ''[[Daria]]'' series "Falling Into College
* Clearly in play in the ''[[Harry Potter]]/[[Sailor Moon]]/[[Ranma ½]]'' crossover fic ''[[The Girl Who Loved]]'': when Luna Lovegood moves into a prominent position in the narrative, cat!Luna all but disappears from the story.
* Subverted in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series]]'', where Marik's Millennium Rod can only control people whose names are, of course, Steve. Given that Marik controls a bunch of one-shot characters with it, the series ends up with a lot of Steves.
** It is revealed that only ''one'' of their names has to be Steve; "Steve" Arcana, Steve Jobs, and Keith Steve Howard (Bandit Keith) are all under his control at some point. Later, he mind controls {{spoiler|Joey and Téa by tricking them into legally changing their names to Steve}}.
** At a convention, LK explained the background of the entire gag, mentioning that in his version, "Steve" has pretty much become another word for "henchman".
* Repeatedly averted in the [[Mega Crossover]] shared-world story ''[[My Apartment Manager is not an Isekai Character]]'', with over three dozen pairs or trios of characters with the same name listed on that work's page. The setting has ''five'' Sakuras: [[Cardcaptor Sakura/Characters#Sakura Kinomoto|Sakura Kinomoto]], [[Fate stay night/Characters/Masters#Sakura Matou|Sakura Matou]], [[Sakura Taisen/Characters#Sakura Shinguuji|Sakura Shinguuji]], [[Squid Girl/Characters#Kiyomi Sakura|Kiyomi Sakura]], and [[Mahoromatic/Characters#Miyuki Sakura|Miyuki Sakura]]
