I've been curious ever since there was someone claiming to know someone who had the name Katara and looked almost like the character, if there are actually people in the real world who have names used on the show and look exactly like the characters. If so, what are the chances of them even knowing what Avatar actually is or even aware that their names were used, even in an episode? Are there people out there who look like the characters and even named like them?

I had a classmate in middle school named Jun (it was a guy though, he was Japanese/African American) which, come to think of it he looked like Sokka only with curly hair in a ponytail.

I was a ball girl at the field hockey junior world cup recently and there was a girl with the name Zhao on the back of her jersey on the Chinese team. She didn't have sideburns.  |

I saw a guy with a wolf-tail once...short pony-tail with shaved sides...but his hair was dreadlocked so it wasn't a true Sokka-doo

Ill settle for someone naming their daughter Katara. On that topic: Whenever my firneds talk about what they want to name their children, someone has to ask..."So will you name your boy child Aang? Then shave his head and get him blue arrow tattoo's?" I always respond,"No, that's only if I have twins, boy-girl twins, then I'll name the other one Katara and we'll live hapily ever after." I laugh at them and myself, and sadly (or not whatever is your opinion) they'll believe me. |

If you were really going to do that, name them Zuko and Azula or Sokka and Katara. |

I have a part-chinese friend with Katara's uptight, oversympathetic nature, plus her hair is long and dark and shiny but she's a lot fairer. Whenever she patronizes someone I keep on thinking, didn't I see this on tv before?
