A common form of naming characters: giving them the partial or modified name of real-life celebrities or historical figure. May overlap with Shout-Out Theme Naming if repeated across a group.
One way would be giving the group a set of names which, when combined, form the name of a famous person. An advanced version gives a person the same first name as a famous person and has their last name included as a middle name. Another variation is to give a group of characters the first names of a well-known group, such as a group of friends named John, Paul, George, and Richard/Ringo, after The Beatles.
If characters are named after things like famous killers or conquerors, it overlaps with Names to Run Away from Really Fast.
Compare Shout-Out Theme Naming, Famous-Named Foreigner (when foreign characters are named after famous people from their countries just because the creators didn't research the relevant naming conventions), Character Name Alias (when the name in question isn't actually the character's real name but a fake one that they're using after a real or fictional famous person) and Unusual Pop Culture Name (when they're named for a famous character, often embarrassingly). Contrast "Near and Dear" Baby Naming. If the character hates their given name (for example an atheist given an overly religious name) then they may invoke Do Not Call Me "Paul". When the famous person a character is named for is their own actor, it's The Danza.
Not to be confused with Named Like My Name, Historical Domain Character, or Beethoven Was an Alien Spy.
Because this trope is so prevalent, it would be inappropriate to include any real-life instances on this page.

In the Thursday Next series, people do this deliberately; it's a world where literature is Serious Business, so people name themselves after somebody famous, most often a classic English writer. After a court case where the entire jury was made up of Christopher Marlowes, a law was enacted to affix a number to the names of people who did this.

Devil May Cry 2 has Lucia who is named after Lucia of Syracuse or Saint Lucy as she was also known. While Saint Lucy did appear as a character in the Divine Comedy to aid Dante, she was also a real-life person who was a Christian martyr during the Diocletianic Persecution. This is reflected in Lucia's character when during the game's climax, she insists on sacrificing herself to close the portal to the Demon World viewing herself as expendable but is stopped as Dante doesn't view her that way. Since Saint Lucy also happens to be the Patron Saint of The Blind, Lucia references this by having one of her eyes covered at all times.

Nero, the main protagonist of Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5, is named after the Roman emperor Nero. As the real-life Nero persecuted Christians, DMC's Nero is also opposed to a religious group though in this Nero's case, the religious group he is dealing with is far from innocent.

Breath of the Wild features another in-universe example. All four Divine Beasts are named after characters from their associated races who were allies of the player in past Zelda games and are honored as legendary heroes in the histories of their respective races by the point in the timeline when the game takes place. Urbosa remarks that Vah Naboris was named in honor of the legendary Gerudo Sage Nabooru. According to a Zora monument, Vah Ruta is named after The Sage Princess Ruto. Vah Rudania and Vah Medoh are never specifically stated in the game to be named after Darunia and Medli respectively, but Rudania is an anagram of Darunia and Medoh is too similar to Medli to be a coincidence.

Averted with Sting. He originally went by "Flash" Borden and later "The Stinger", but announcers kept referring to him as "Sting" and he just went with it. Steve Borden actually owns the trademark to the name "Sting" despite the singer using it first, and the singer has to pay the wrestler to use the name (though it's a very small sum).

Dr. Marvin Monroe is named after Marilyn Monroe.
Milhouse's name is based on Richard Nixon's middle name. Matt Groening gave him the name because he felt it was the most unfortunate name you could give to a child. His full name is Milhouse Mussolini Van Houten.
Barney Gumble is named after Barney Rubble from The Flintstones.

The slave characters in the alternative history series Timeline-191 all bear famous classical names from the past (Scipio, Xerxes, Aristotle, Bathsheba) echoing the real-life tendency to do this in the American South during slave-owning times.

From the original series, there's Dr. Thomas Light and Dr. Albert Wily, named after Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein, respectively. The former might be questionable, but the latter does have some resemblance to his namesake (the Einstein Hair).

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri provides us with Provost Prokhor Zakharov, leader of the University of Planet faction, who invented the fusion drive that made the journey to Alpha Centauri possible. He seems to be named after Soviet nuclear physicist and peace/human rights/democracy activist Andrei Sakharov, who was famous for his brilliance (like Zakharov) and his involvement in politics (it's possible he would have become President of post-Soviet Russia had he not died in 1989). To put the icing on the cake, Arthur C. Clarke names the fusion engine in the Leonov in 2010... the Sakharov Drive. Clearly, the Firaxis team read its science fiction.

Similar to Alien Nation, the Zabronians in The Neighbors name themselves after famous athletes in an attempt to blend in. Thus the community leader is Larry Bird, his wife is Jackie Joyner-Kershee, and their sons are Reggie Jackson and Dick Butkus. (Notice that none of them share a surname, a concept that is apparently too foreign for them.)

James Jesse, the first Trickster, invoked Steven Ulysses Perhero when he decided to commit robberies like his "reverse namesake" Jesse James.

In Office Space the main character Peter's best friend is named Michael Bolton, like the famous singer. In-universe it's an aversion, since he wasn't named after the singer (Michael mentions he was in his early teens when the singer became famous). The name is just a coincidence. He also hates the singer, and refuses to be called "Mike" because "Why should I change? He's the one who sucks."

Supernatural: Sam and Dean's Character Name Aliases
Their real last name, Winchester, is part of a firearms theme in the show as a reference to Oliver Winchester of repeating-rifle fame. Though they're not so much "named after" as actually descended from the family of Oliver and Sarah Winchester, with plotlines showing that the family has been hunting for at least as long as the name has been associated with the signature firearm.
It might be better to say it's a reference to Oliver's daughter-in-law Sarah Winchester, making it not only a firearms reference but a supernatural one: Sarah believed she had to appease the spirits of victims of Winchester rifles by continuing construction on her home, and the "Winchester Mystery House" remains a paranormal landmark.
There is a demon named Alistair and a demon named Crowley. This refers to Aleister Crowley, an early 20th-century British occultist.
One or both of them may be the actual man behind the myth of the famed occultist, Crowley especially is shown as being fond of showing up in human guise and making his bargains without any pretense that he's anything other than a supernatural creature... just to make sure the bargainers have no room to loophole their way out of damnation.

James Buchanan Barnes, formerly Captain America's sidekick Bucky, is named after US President James Buchanan. This is somewhat strange, considering how unpopular Buchanan was during his presidency, but whatever.note Joe Simon originally named him "Bucky" for his friend Bucky Pierson. As characterization marched on he needed a full name to justify the nickname and, probably a fan of irony, the writer at the time named Captain America's sidekick for the worst President the country had known 'til then.

The two main characters of The Big Bang Theory, Sheldon and Leonard, are named after a famous TV producer named Sheldon Leonard. Their last names are Cooper and Hofstadter, respectively, which they share, aptly enough, with famous physicists: Leon N. Cooper and Robert Hofstadter (whose son Douglas is best known for writing Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid). Leonard's middle name is Leakey, after the famous archaeologist Louis Leakey and his anthropologist wife Mary.
Played for Laughs in Young Sheldon, when it’s revealed that Sheldon and Amy’s firstborn son is named Leonard, but he’s named after Leonard Nimoy, not Sheldon’s best friend Leonard Hofstadter.

In the Stargate-verse, about half of Earth's starships are named for historical figures (the others are figures from Greek mythology not known to be Goa'uld). The Russian-crewed Korolev was named after one of the lead engineers of the Soviet space program, and the Chinese-crewed Sun Tzu was named after Sun Tzu. The fourth American-crewed 304 was supposed to be USS Phoenix, but was renamed George S. Hammond after the first CO of Stargate Command, who had recently died.

Ciem: The Human Centipede, and its sequels, mention rather explicitly that Dolly Malestrom was named after Dolly the Cloned Sheep. Given that it takes place in the 2020s, this reference actually makes sense. It places Dolly's birth some time between 1996 and 1998, making her just slightly older than Candi.

In .hack//G.U. Redemption, the AIDA-infected weapon wielded by Taihaku is called Maxwell. This is a reference to Maxwell's Demon theory. The game self-confirms the reference by naming the identical-looking sword Haseo obtains after defeating Taihaku as Szilard (mistranslated as Silad), the person that solved (or at least offered an explanation to) Maxwell's Demon.

The Stormlight Archive: Several characters are named after the Heralds, ten divine servants of the Almighty empowered to lead humanity against the end of the world. Among the main characters, Kaladin is clearly named after Kalak, Herald of the Willshapers, while Shallan is named after Shalash of the Lightweavers (which, coincidentally, is the Order of the Knights Radiant that Shallan belongs to). It's also not uncommon to see minor background characters clearly named after the other Heralds.

The vortisaur that becomes the TARDIS Team Pet in the audio drama Storm Warning is named Ramsay, after the Prime Minister in Charley's time, Ramsay Mac Donald. In No More Lies, the Doctor names another vortisaur Margaret, but doesn't say why.
The Big Finish audio drama "Bang-Bang-A-Boom!" has a parody of Victor Bergman from Space: 1999 called Ivor Fassbinder. The name is presumably a reference to Rainer Werner Fassbinder, by analogy with Ingmar Bergman.

Cradle Series: The original patriarch of the Arelius family, the man who would go on to become Ozriel, the Eighth Judge of the Abidan Court, was named "Ozmanthus Tiberian Mereithan Arelius." Variants of these names are speckled throughout the series; the most recent Arelius Monarch was named Tiberian, an old Arelius woman in a side story is named Ozmantha, and of course the main Arelius character is named Eithan. This is how Ozriel was able to disguise himself using his real name.

The Legend of Zelda:
How many real-life Zeldas can you think of? Word of God states that the eponymous princess is indeed named for Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. In turn, Robin Williams named his daughter after the princess, as mention in the Real Life section below. and again in turn, the quirky Sheikah scientist Robbie encountered in Breath of the Wild appears to be named after him.
Also the recurring enemies known as Poes, likely named after the famous Edgar Allan Poe. Another possible source of the name, however, is the Chinese philosophy of "hun" and "po", similar to yin and yang. "Hun" is the part of the soul that strives for heaven and is associated with life, and "po" is the part of the soul that stays with the corpse and is associated with death. Further, the Poe sisters are named Amy, Beth, Joelle, and Meg after the sisters from Little Women.
In-universe example with the Link from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, who is not a descendant/reincarnation of the original Link like all the rest. He's simply a regular boy who was born in an age where naming your son after the legendary Hero of Time is most likely a fairly common occurrence. Not that he ever meets anyone else with that name.
Breath of the Wild features another in-universe example. All four Divine Beasts are named after characters from their associated races who were allies of the player in past Zelda games and are honored as legendary heroes in the histories of their respective races by the point in the timeline when the game takes place. Urbosa remarks that Vah Naboris was named in honor of the legendary Gerudo Sage Nabooru. According to a Zora monument, Vah Ruta is named after The Sage Princess Ruto. Vah Rudania and Vah Medoh are never specifically stated in the game to be named after Darunia and Medli respectively, but Rudania is an anagram of Darunia and Medoh is too similar to Medli to be a coincidence.

In one of the supplementary sourcebooks for the Forgotten Realms (specifically, Champions of Valor), an organization of good-aligned monsters and talking beasts called the Fangshields is stated to be led by a wemic paladin of Nobanion named Kul Kulann. As in Cú Chulainn. In one sense quite fitting, since Cú Chulainn's warp-spasm made him into quite the savage beast and he was an incredible warrior, but in another sense rather odd considering this is a lawful good, honorable fighter who would be completely against berserker raging in combat. (Also the name means "Hound of Culann"...)

In the 1934 film The Black Cat, newlyweds Peter and Joan Alison intend to spend their honeymoon in the Hungarian spa town of Gömbös, “the pearl of the Carpathian Mountains�. There is no such place, however Gyula Gömbös de Jáfka was the Hungarian prime minister from 1932-36. This gives a whole new meaning to the line “Pistyan used to be all right 10, 15 years ago, but now...Gömbös is the place.�

Batman:
Both Batman (Bruce Wayne) and the Golden Age superheroine Miss Victory (Joan Wayne) were named after "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a hero of the American War of Independence.
Happens in-universe with The Joker's pet hyenas (or Harley Quinn's, depending on the continuity), Bud and Lou, named after comedy legends Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. It also stands to reason that Harley's daughter by the Joker, Lucy Quinzell, is most likely named after Lucille Ball.
The villain Mr. Zsazs, created by Alan Grant, and Denny O'Neil's Retcon that The Question's real name is Charles Szasz, are both references to Thomas Szasz. Since both characters are explorations of the "differently sane", Szasz's theories are relevant to both of them.

Ryan Howard of The Office.

Grease:
Rydell High School is named after '50s/'60s teen idol Bobby Rydell.
Sandy Olsson shares her surname with Ann-Margret, who was born Ann-Margret Olsson. In the original stage version, she has the Polish-American surname "Dumbrowski," but the film gives her a meaningful Adaptational Name Change. Fittingly, Ann-Margret and Bobby Rydell (the school's namesake) had played love interests in Bye Bye Birdie.

Multiple characters in Lost are named after philosophers. There's John Locke (who for some time goes by another philosopher, Jeremy Bentham), Danielle Rousseau, Desmond David Hume, and Mikhail Bakunin, among others.
Locke's father is named Anthony Cooper, after Lord Shaftesbury, patron of John Locke the philosopher.
Also, Daniel Faraday and Eloise Hawking are both named after physicists, which becomes important when it's revealed that Hawking is Faraday's mother.

Early Metal Heroes shows had a tendency to name their protagonists after film personalities:
Shaider after American actor Roy Scheider
Gavan after French actor Jean Gabin
Spielban, after American filmmaker Steven Spielberg
One of the names considered for Juspion, in an early stage of pre-production, was Deniro. Unfortunately, it wasn't carried to the show.
In Janperson, supporting character Gun Gibson was named after Mel Gibson, apparently. This doesn't apply to the protagonist, however, whose name comes from him wearing a jumper.

Devil May Cry:
The main protagonist Dante shares his name with the author and main character of The Divine Comedy, Dante Alighieri.
Vergil is a recognized alternate spelling of Virgil, Dante's guide in Inferno and Purgatorio, and a poet Dante greatly admired.
Trish, Dante's sidekick and possible love interest, is named after Beatrice Portinari, a woman whom Dante Alighieri was enamored with.
Devil May Cry 2 has Lucia who is named after Lucia of Syracuse or Saint Lucy as she was also known. While Saint Lucy did appear as a character in the Divine Comedy to aid Dante, she was also a real-life person who was a Christian martyr during the Diocletianic Persecution. This is reflected in Lucia's character when during the game's climax, she insists on sacrificing herself to close the portal to the Demon World viewing herself as expendable but is stopped as Dante doesn't view her that way. Since Saint Lucy also happens to be the Patron Saint of The Blind, Lucia references this by having one of her eyes covered at all times.
Nero, the main protagonist of Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 5, is named after the Roman emperor Nero. As the real-life Nero persecuted Christians, DMC's Nero is also opposed to a religious group though in this Nero's case, the religious group he is dealing with is far from innocent.

The British Railway Stories: Some of the engines are named after their designers. Herbert and Nigel are named after Sir Herbert Nigel Gresley, Stephen was named after Stephen D. Holden, Arthur is named after Arthur Peppercorn, and Hawk, full name Hawksworth, was named after Fredrick Hawksworth.
While he wasn't an engine designer, Sir Ralph is named after Sir Ralph Wedgewood. He took the name to honour the memory of the previous engine to have it, Gadwall the A4 Pacific. Gadwall was destroyed in the Baedeker Blitz during World War II.

Pokémon:
Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan are named after Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan. As a double bonus, their Japanese names, Sawamular and Ebiwalar, are based on Japanese martial arts stars Tadashi Sawamura and Hiroyuki Ebihara. The French name for Hitmonchan is derived from Mike Tyson's last name, while Korea named it Hongsoomon, after Korean boxer Hong Soo-hwan.
Similarly, the Japanese names for Abra, Kadabra and Alakazam are based on famous magicians and psychics: Casey (after Edgar Cayce, a clairvoyant), Yungerer (after magician Uri Geller), and Foodin (after magician Harry Houdini). This actually led into trouble when Nintendo got sued by Geller himself because the latter alleged that Kadabra appropriated his name and image. Geller would eventually apologize and renounce the lawsuit 20 years later, on November 28, 2020.
Other Pokémon are named after historical rulers: Kangaskhan is a tough kangaroo-reptile-ish Pokémon named after Genghis Khan, and Empoleon shares its name in all languages (and its height!) with Napoléon Bonaparte. The fossil Pokémon Archeops might be named after the pharaoh Cheops of the Great Pyramids fame.
The Nimbasa Gym in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 does this with the three trainers you face before the leaders; they are named Nikola, Fleming and Ampère (after electrical engineers Nikola Tesla, John Ambrose Fleming and André-Marie Ampère).
In Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Eevee!, the Master Trainers using Zubat and Golbat are named West and Keaton respectively, after Batman actors Adam West and Michael Keaton.
The Ghost-type gym leader in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Allister, is named after a pun on his Japanese name ("Onion", a type of allium), but his name might also pull from English occultist Aleister Crowley.
Bill, who invented the PC system, or at least the one used in Kanto and Johto, is named after Bill Gates.

In-universe example with the Link from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, who is not a descendant/reincarnation of the original Link like all the rest. He's simply a regular boy who was born in an age where naming your son after the legendary Hero of Time is most likely a fairly common occurrence. Not that he ever meets anyone else with that name.

A bit of a goofy inversion in the Camelot arc of Fate/Grand Order. When the good guys travel to a village in Iran, they meet a local archer by the name of Arash who's been protecting the people there. The townsfolk note that Arash is the name of a legendary archer who saved all of Persia, so it's a very common name (if oddly fitting in this case). Of course, it turns out that the guy in question is the mythical Arash, plucked out of time to save his people once again. Since he recognized this trope, he didn't feel the need to bother with an alias.

The title character of Lt. Robin Crusoe, U.S.N. is named for that other Crusoe, as his father dreamed of a life at sea. He laments why he wasn't named Harry or Ike.

Ender's Game: When Ender Wiggin's dad gets a name, it turns out that (1) Wiggin isn't his actual name, but rather Wieczorek, and (2) his full name is Jan Paweł Wieczorek, which became John Paul Wiggin when Anglicized, and yes, that's John Paul as in Pope John Paul II, who was canonized in this timeline (as happens in 2014 in real life). Something of a subversion in that he is this both in-universe and out of universe (John Paul II was, of course, Polish).

Beelzebub in I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level is not the famous one. She just gets her name from the original Beelzebub, and living up to that name causes her no end of stress. (In narration, Azusa compares this to Earth cultures naming their daughters Maria.)

Nods to famous folk in-universe are frequent in the Deryni works. Of course, among famous people, it's also as much to do with family and/or friendship as fame.
Haldane royalty tends to reuse the names of certain illustrious predecessors. Since princes get four names in addition to the surname, there's plenty of opportunities for this. Among the popular candidates for reuse are Cinhil (first Haldane king of the Restoration), Blaine (also used by the Festils), Donal (Brion's father's first name, King Brion and King Cinhil's second), Nygel/Nigel, Aidan (second Haldane in the seventh century, also Cinhil's grandfather, the only survivor of his family's massacre during the Festillic Invasion) and Alroy (Cinhil's father and Cinhil's eldest surviving son).
Morgan's first two children. His daughter is named Briony after the late King Brion Haldane, and his son is named Kelric (a combination of King Kelson and Morgan's own first name Alaric).
Kelson's heir, born in the year 1130 (according to the Codex), is christened Javan Uthyr Richard Urien Haldane; the prince's first name is that of the ill-fated King Javan Haldane, King Cinhil's second surviving son (and the protagonist of King Javan's Year), and his third name honours Kelson's great uncle and Araxie's father, Prince Richard Haldane Duke of Carthmoor.

Domina:
In-universe, many people have names related to their warlords, who themselves named after either real gods and goddesses or fictional gods and goddesses. In particular, Dracul is such an important part of the vampire culture that many vampires choose names like "Drake" and "Drakela" when they become vampires.
The Atlantean cities are named after Greek philosophers, the Dagonite towns are named after writers, and the Rahab wrecks are named after emperors.

There is a minor character named Assistant Director Leifeld. He's a comically over-muscled barrel of a man, similar to the way Rob Liefeld tends to draw characters. Despite the slightly different spelling, The Rant clarifies that the Shout-Out is intentional.
The Girl Posse at Moperville South (Diane, Lucy, and Rhoda) are are all named after sitcom characters. In order to fit the theme naming without having too obvious of a reveal, Diane's sister is named Rhea, after Rhea Perlman who played Diane's coworker on Cheers.

In Chrono Trigger:
The Edible Theme Naming of Soysauce, Vinegar, and Mayonnaise were turned into Ozzie (Osbourne, although he's Ozzy), Flea (of Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Slash (of Guns N' Roses). This raised issues with the sequel, which introduced a new character named Slash, while containing the old ones as an Optional Boss, so the new character was renamed Nikki (presumably after Mötley Crüe's Nikki Sixx).
Also, the Gurus in the English version are named after the Three Wise Men.
Both Trigger and Cross contain characters named after famed Persian emperors (Cyrus and Dario respectively, seemingly named after Cyrus the Great and Darius the Great), both of them serving as Death by Origin Story big brother figures to two separate characters named Glenn.

The King Nobody Wanted:
Tytos Clegane is named after Tytos Lannister, the lord who raised his father to a landed knight.
Aerys Chelsted was named after the late king due to his father Qarlton's sycophancy. Due to the original Aerys' insanity and tyranny, he views it as an Embarrassing First Name and prefers to go by "Rys".
An unusually high proportion of the Most Devout bear Targaryen names, including multiple Baelors. One is even named after a dragon, Balerion. He notes that this is a common habit on his home isle, Dragonstone, and that he has an aunt named Syrax.
In the backstory, Lord Harwyn Bracken was named after Harwyn Hoare.

CSI:
Grissom was last-named after Gus Grissom, the Mercury astronaut, courtesy of his actor William Petersen.
Grissom makes a joke of this once, naming his beetles from a crime scene "John, Paul, George, and Ringo".
Apparently, 'Diebenkorn' Russell was named after a famous artist. It's still no wonder he prefers 'D.B.'.

Aaron "Hotch" Hotchner from Criminal Minds is, quite possibly, named after a real Aaron Hotchner, who also just happened to be a lawyer before finding his true calling, which isn't too far off from Hotch's- the real Hotchner became a biographer, famously penning one for Ernest Hemingway meaning, in real life, Hotch is just as much a profiler as the one on TV is (only that the real one doesn't use it to catch criminals).

Quest for Glory II
Characters of the thieving persuasion can break into a certain house at night where an old man lives with his four sons. Three are named Kareem, Abdul, and Jabbar, respectively, after the basketball player. The fourth, Kamar, does not fit with this naming structure.
There's also a Griffin named Merv, after game show producer Merv Griffin.

In Little Busters!, all of Rin's cats are named after famous people. That is to say, whatever random famous people Kyousuke comes up with off the top of his head at the time, as he believes that it's important to give them a name but that the name itself doesn't matter. This leads to cats with names like Lennon, Gates, Einstein, and Hitler.

George Washington Missler of Hyper Fighting Machine Marmalade is named after both George Washington Carver, famous for saving the economy of the American South by farming peanuts (as well as inventing peanut butter) and Chuck Missler, who has become famous on the Internet as "the peanut butter man" after assuming that evolution is false because life doesn't spontaneously form inside sealed jars of peanut butter. Fittingly, the Humongous Mecha which the character pilots is called Peanut Butter.

Mega Man:
From the original series, there's Dr. Thomas Light and Dr. Albert Wily, named after Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein, respectively. The former might be questionable, but the latter does have some resemblance to his namesake (the Einstein Hair).
In the English version of Mega Man X5, all eight Maverick bosses have names derived from the rock band Guns N' Roses. Grizzly Slash (Slash), Axle the Red (Axl Rose), Squid Adler (Steven Adler), Dark Dizzy (Dizzy Reed), and the list goes on. The Skiver is the only Odd Name Out, though it might be a reference to Michael "High in the Sky" Monroe, who recorded a song with GNR. Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 would change the names back to those of the original Japanese release, or at least something close (such as The Skiver, originally Spiral Pegacion, being rechristened Spiral Pegasus).
Mega Man Zero's Big Bad Dr. Weil is named after Ray Kurzweil, an author on several books about transhumanism and technological singularity, things that Weil is a master of.

Gavin & Stacey has a subtle one that eventually gets lampshaded; the two central families are the Wests and the Shipmans, while the latter's neighbours are the Sutcliffes.note For any non-UK tropers who haven't worked it out from the Pot Holes, these were all serial killers. The other main characters are called Smith and Jenkins.

Merlin (2008) / Harry Potter crossovers may have Merlin claim he was only named after the famous wizard, who is a real historical figure in the Wizarding World, to hide who he really is. Particularly humorous since Merlin's name is used in a number of Unusual Euphemisms in Harry Potter canon.

Alfred Bester from Babylon 5. At first the name was just a Shout-Out, but then the Expanded Universe revealed he was also named after the author in-universe.
John Sheridan shares a very unusual last name American Civil War general Philip Sheridan, but it is later made explicit that John is a direct male-line descendant of Philip's.

The soundtrack album to Dead Man on Campus included Twiggy Ramirez collaborating with his namesake on a Cover Version of "I Only Want To Be With You", seemingly just for the gag of crediting the song to Twiggy & Twiggy.
