Only because of Super Smash Bros (though Ike may be an exception, since Marth and Roy caused people to take some level of interest in FE in the west and thus probably at least tried FE9). Throw any other Fire Emblem character in SSB and they'd become recognized too.

Also, I think a lot of FE fans would recognize Sigurd, or even possibly Leaf. Though I'm honestly not sure if Nintendo will bother putting any new FE characters in now that I think about it. After all, even Japan hasn't put out a truly new Fire Emblem since... 2007? February, 2007? Only real chance is if a new one comes out before SSB(U), most likely.
