    It's pretty commonly used IRL, maybe more so than in video games. I have the same name as Master Chief and Big Boss. "Yahweh is gracious."

    It's weirdly common in japanese games, but not in english ones, despite being biblical.
    Like in ffxiv for some reason the character with my name is a woman, I guess they sometimes don't understand the origin of these names.

    I believe that japan just picks up random names and assign them without any thought

    Basically never because while it's a common name, it's an off spelling that I always need to correct people on.
    Ironically, since my mother complained about her mother doing the same to her and then went on to name me and one of my sisters after her cousin with my name who drowned while they were visiting family in England when she was a kid.

    My name is apparently a big deal in a certain historically accurate medieval game that came out a few years ago

        Yes
        Also half an A press is a totally legitimate way to describe a highly specific use of the A button that is indeed not a full press in the level
