Line 894:
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Averted several times over, especially in ''Incubation Period'', in which there are several cases of it being averted by minor characters appearing within the same chapter.
** Averted ''twice'' in ''The Hornet's Nest'' chapter 5, in which Sister Marie rescues a small child who has the same name (Maisie) as her custom-made phone AI (which keeps responding every time Marie addresses her). The second aversion is that the story also contains two recurring characters named Shannon.
* [[Online Alias]]: Has a self-aware mix. [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Willow Rosenberg]] lifts "Acid Burn" from ''[[Hackers]]'' to use when she becomes Terawatt's online support, but when she was younger she used "S4l1x480" (which cleverly points back to her, as ''salix'' is the genus of all willows, and 480 references a wavelength of light in the red portion of the visible spectrum). There was also P$ychon4ut, a [[The Cracker|villainous, misogynistic hacker]] she helped get sent to jail. Then there's "3UrēK@!", aka Zoe Carter, originally a specialist in identity theft who seems to be transitioning to a "white hat" as part of Ultraman's team. Another white hat on his team, Zane Donovan, takes the handle "Crash Override" from ''Hackers'' in conscious imitation of Willow. The SRI also has a pair of staff hackers who use decidedly un-military handles online.
* [[Only One Name]]: Lampshaded, as Faith ('just Faith' in the BuffyVerse) is clearly named Delabruzzi to conceal herself.
** And inverted with actress Cherilyn Sarkisian (Cher) who uses her full name when playing Marci Castrati, Gunther Shtepple's ex-wife.
