* ''[[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]].) |

* 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. |

<!-- * In [[The Teraverse]] story ''[https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-32318/ Incubation Period]'', each chapter is made up of two narrative scenes, and has a (chapter-specific) thematic name which is somehow included in both scenes. While in several cases the name is applied to the same character in both scenes, or to inanimate objects, there ''are'' a few chapters where the name is referring to two different characters. A few more chapters would also qualify if you include variant forms of the name originating from different languages. Each chapter also includes a third segment, which is purported to be the section on that name from a fictional baby-names book. (Part of the story is about a pregnant woman choosing the name for her unborn child; the child is eventually born at the end of the story and their eventually-chosen name is the thematic name for the last chapter.) MOD: Potentially inapplicable example. How is this an example or aversion of two or more characters sharing the same given name? Please explain. --> |

** 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". |
