Read the page, it explains everything.
(And Raso, I really don't think that info about H-doujinshi is relevant, lol )

SPATULA, Supporters of Page Altering To Urgently Lead to Amelioration (supports not going through TRS for tweaks and minor improvements.)I prefer Pale Haired Emotionless Girl or some such variant, but I'll accept Ayanami Archetype
32 Footsteps has already provided a good argument against using only "Ayanami" from the Trope Namer / Trope Codifier.
Fiat iustitia, et pereat mundus.A google of "Ayanami" and looking at the GIS doesnt turn up a single result to anything different than just Rei... nvm found one a battle ship with the name... woop de doo. EDIT: two Gravure Idols and thats it, Its usage in works is close to nil from what I see. Unless its a shoutout.

Sparkling and glittering! Jan-Ken-Pon!Wait, you're only looking at the GIS? That's cherry-picking your data. Trust me, I've pulled up a band, a character in a show called 07 Ghost, a Japanese porn worker (I hesistate to use "star"), the destroyer that the Evangelion character was named after... and that was just the first five pages of looking for "ayanami" on Google. Yes, Rei Ayanami is the most common result, but far from the only one. And several of those were on the first page of results.
For comparison, you have to go to the second page of searching "mario" to even find something not related to the title character of Super Mario Bros - and we live in a world where there's a famous chef named Mario Batali (said author of several cookbooks, owner of several famous restaurants, and once and possibly future cast member of Iron Chef America is the 14th link).
In short, using the Google results of "mario" as a baseline for the One Mario Limit, "Ayanami" by itself fails.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.Bumping. Is this stale?

Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Yeah, I think it's stale.
Personally, I find it hard to object to the name of Character X being used in the title of a trope whose definition is "An Expy of Character X".
Rhymes with "Protracted."Agreed.
Agreed.
Also agreeing.
Alt account of Angeldog 2437.Yes.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.Yep, pretty sure we can lock this.
The character is also often a Strange Girl, if not an outright Mystical Waif.
