There isn't. But Japanese naming system is quite flexible in that you can more or less create a completely new give name provided you use government approved kanji - which there are a lot, and it's actually possible to name your kid with the phonetics of say, Pikachu, for example and there is a site that is dedicated to actual registered weird names. Once I've seen on TV there were a couple whom were Gundam otaku and named their daughter with the phonetics that reads Seira (Seira Mass, Char's sister), and that's not a proper traditional Japanese name.
Even then most anime don't give a damn about that and just use what ever they want.
