In other words, if you met someone with _________ as a first name, the first thing most people associate it with is a video game character.

Has to be Bowser, right?

I know many Marios. People think of the game but not as much as Bowser elicits.

I've heard of Bowser as a last name, but not a first name.

Same with Gannon.

Mario is too common. It's easy to disassociate it from video games just due to how many people have it as a name.

In terms of a name that is rare but still actually used, it has to be Zelda. Hard to separate that one due to the rarity.

I have a cousin-in-law named Kirby. I don't she'd like being called a pink puff ball. (she was born before Kirby the vg character existed)

If people actually associated Tanner with Driver, he wouldn't have the reputation that he has now.

I'm assuming we're trying to name things that are actual legit first names and not just iconic character names.

Also, the examples in that TVtropes page are a little silly, since many of the names are exotic enough that it's unlikely anyone would randomly use them again. Do you really think there would be another noteworthy character that just happens to be named for the nodes on the Kaballah Tree of Life?
