We're generally hesitant to allow name overlap with canon characters, as it can lead ot a fair degree of confusion to people reading the character; for example if you have a character named amber in a fanfiction, people are going to assume it is Amber the fall maiden. If you have an Emerald, people will assume it is Emerald Sustrai, and so on.
