Amane Akemi sounds pretty good.

I googled 'Amane Akemi', and there seems to be some instances of that name usage, but they all seem pretty vague and minor. It doesn't seem like it's used much (or at all) in the UTAU fandom.

So I guess, if you want to name your persona "Amane Akemi", I'd say go for it!

("if Muzai, Amane, or Amane Muzai have already been used on a UTAU, popular or not, would it still be okay to use one or both of their names?" Sharing a first name is very common, so in the future you shouldn't worry about it that much. :) Last names are a bit trickier because it depends on the name, but it usually shouldn't be much of a problem. (There's Namine Ritsu, and Namine Tsux, for example) Avoiding the use of rare last names is what I would suggest.

I've actually witnessed at one point a video where there were two different utaus with the same name. I believe the reaction was similar to "Oh, cool, what a neat coincidence, our utaus have the same name, let's duet them together." or something like that. That was just one single incident of it though; I don't know if the reaction is as lax in other incidents.

To be honest, I think it's pretty rare to make a 'name twin' by accident. If you ever do end up making a 'name twin' by accident, try to differentiate your character from the other person's as much as you can (e.g. "This character is not associated with OtherCreator's character."))

Hmm, I think that's about all I have to say for now. Well, good luck with your singing persona, Anon!
