Have the same name as the character.
I can't read if I saw the character have a same name as my brothers. I have two brothers and they have the most common English name. Especially if they have the same name as the ML like it feels so weird reading it.

Glad I don't live in a country with names that can be used in the media I consume
my name is literally a DC comic book character
I'm an only child but I CANNOT read a yaoi with my father's name in it (John/Johnny) not even for a 1M$ x'D That's out of the question !
Oh, but I don't mind if they have the same name as my boyfriend (Théo). Teehee. <.<
OMFG SAME A VERY POPULAR BL ML HAS THE SAME NAME AS MY BROTHER AND PEOPLE KEEP ON TELLING ME TO READ IT AND GET OVER IT LIKE, NO-- HOW CAN YOU TELL ME TO READ A FUCK SCENE WHERE THE BOTTOM IS SCREAMING OUT MY BROTHER'S NAME WHILE GETTING POUNDED IN THE ASS
Lmaoo
Rightttt it feels so fucking weird. I really tried to read but damn they have a s*x scenes every chapter so I have to dropped it.
I read this one bl manhwa where the mc's name's shortened version in the unofficial translation was the same as my pet name, thankfully it was only mentioned a few times in the story and also wasn't used during the smut scene... slightly scary nonetheless.
also this one time me and my friend were discussing about Yoon Jay from Payback and I was like Jay is so hot and got a few glances from people around me only to realise that there was a guy in our class also named Jay
I'm not gonna be absent for the whole year if that happened to me.
