i don’t know, but trope or not anecdotally i can say it does happen so i try not to judge

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.
