I don't share a name with any villager, even with all the language variants. I was kinda surprised since my name is somewhat common... there is one with a nickname of my name but I'm never called that, so I don't claim it lol.
i share a name with kiki the cat! i really love her simplistic design and cute nose,, i would definitely have her on my island!!. even more surprisingly, we even have the same zodiac sign :,O
No one has my irl name, but one has a nickname I usually go by, and is the same name as I use for my in game character (except it is spelled differently). Sadly I am not too fond of that particular villager...
Yes, Ellie the elephant and I share our name (well, the short form of it anyway).
I think Ellie is actually pretty cute but I never got a chance to meet her in the game.
I probably wouldn't mind having her at some point but not sure if I'd make her a permanent resident - would need to try her out first.
There are also 3 villagers that share names with 3 of my cats:
Tipper, Simon and Dotty.
I did consider having Tipper on my Island just because it's named Tippervale (after my cat) but she's not really a dreamie of mine so I don't know.
Dotty is quite cute but not really someone I'm obsessed with either. And I don't really care for Simon tbh.
