What about the actual meaning of the name or things that are associated with the character? For example, the name means "circle" or "circle, flower" and Gwen is a name associated with that. Ayla is another. An unusual name for white Americans but is very pretty is Evren, which means universe, which is associated with the character. Ariel is Hebrew for "starry girl." There's also Luna, Aurora, Miranda, and Pheobe for space themes.
Magical names for girls could be Sabrina or Faye, and Faye is a famous Anime character's name.
There's ways to compromise that honor the meaning. I also like using it as a middle name. I know someone who had the same deal with her husband. He was a huge Axel Rose fan and he wanted to name his daughter Axel. The compromise was that their little girl got a more normal name for her first name and Axel for her middle name.
