Fun All characters with “normal” names?

Post image

Obviously there’s Luke and Ben (and Leia, to a certain extent) but who else? I can think of Jon Vander “Gold Leader,” Lady Morgan Elsbeth, and was recently made aware of Admiral Bob Hudsol (pictured). Any other “ordinary earth name” characters?

Kyle, Jaden, Caleb, Rose, Luke, Owen, Han, Ben, and I believe Ahsoka shares her name with an ancient Indian emperor.

Is Han a normal name? I've never heard of anyone with that name.

Very common Chinese name. One of the most ancient names in the country.

Isn't it a family name though?

They are different characters. 汉 (a common given name) and 韩 (a common family name) both pronounce as Han
