Ren is certainly name.

May not be the most common name in the world, but it's still real enough for several fictional characters to share the name as well as at least two notable people having it as well.

I've personally never heard anybody go by name of Len, however. Lenny or Leonard, sure, but not Len. I'm not questioning the 'realness' of it, but the first time I've ever heard Len used was in DK, while I've heard the name Ren at least twice before Ryuki, both times in Western shows.
