A joke, reference, or pairing based on two characters or things having the same or similar names. For example, a [[cosplay]] or [[crossover]] between two characters from different franchises having the same name.

Don't use for characters who share the same name because they're relatives, or for [[dual persona]] or alternate versions of the same character appearing in different titles. For namesakes based on animals or inanimate objects, use [[object namesake]] too.
