A crossover occurs between two or more namesake characters. A combination of the first two (a costume_switch crossover) A reference made between a character within the scene and a namesake who is entirely absent in the picture (such as a seiyuu_connection). To qualify two characters as namesakes, one must consider the following: Characters with the same personal name are automatic namesakes. A one-name character can be considered a namesake of another character having the first character's name as either a personal name or a surname if both are mostly called the same way. Examples are: Ookami's Sakuya (Ookami_(game) can be considered as Izayoi_Sakuya's namesake because both can be called "Sakuya". ( danbooru.donmai.us/posts/513636 ) Saten_Ruiko and Needless' Saten can also be considered namesakes since the former is mostly known by her surname. (post #671809) Two or more characters sharing the same surname are considered namesakes if they are unrelated characters from different copyrights. Can apply to parodies or crossovers based on similar parts of names, e.g. post #1319716 (Gilbert/Gilgamesh) Not counted as namesakes are dual_personae of the same character, even if they appear in two different titles. See also Pun - Same concept, but generally tackles words. Object_namesake - When a character is paired with an object that refers to their name.
