For example, Neptune, to Neptune. Or Weiss to Snow White. Or Cinder to Cinderella. Or Nora to Thor. Or Pyrrha to Aquiles.

So the whole "personality should be similar to the allusion's" idea becomes optional. If the allusion in question has no real personality, that means one can have more freedom in that aspect.
