      Never would judge any real person for their chosen name, I just find it silly when it’s like this in memes and stories.

        I would guess it’s actually more likely in memes and stories, because using a similar name will help the more smooth brained readers follow along.

          Yeah, I can totally see that being why the trope is super prevalent.
