Most of them. Antonio is the name of a character in Much Ado About Nothing, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night, The Two Gentlemen of Verona and The Tempest. None of the others have an Antonio.
The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Tempest, Twelfth Night, The Merchant of Venice and Much Ado About Nothing. All different Antonios of course. Shakespeare seems to have liked the name.
Rosalind is the main character in Shakespeare's play As You Like It.
The play of the same name - Macbeth.
Actually, Shakespeare did have a dog and he named a character in one of his plays after his dog. The dog was called "Titus" and was the source of inspiration for Shakespeare's my violent and worse plays, Titus Andronicus. It is unclear whether Shakespeare hated his dog or not, but he did eat it. Probably, he ate it.
There is no character called Omar in any of Shakespeare's plays. Indeed there is only one character who is apparently a Muslim in all of the plays, which would be the Prince of Morocco in Merchant of Venice. Mind you there are probably a number of actors called Omar who have played or are playing parts in Shakespeare plays. French actor Omar Sy (often billed as "Omar") for example, or Omar Sharif, or the American Omar Epps, might have played parts in a Shakespeare play at some time.
Clearly Shakespeare thought that Antonio was a more important character than Shylock. Or Bassanio and Portia for that matter.

Bardolfo is a follower of Falstaff in Shakespeare's plays.

As You Like It
The Merchant of Venice was written by William Shakespeare. It is considered a comedy. The main character is Antonio, the merchant.
William Shakespeare was the playwright who wrote several dozen plays, many of which are still in production around the world today. While he authored many plays, he did not appear as a character in any of them. Therefore, no one performs as William Shakespeare in any play written by him.

No, there is no character called Nicola in any of Shakespeare's plays. You are probably misled because there is a short story called The Two Gentlemen of Verona by AJ Cronin which has a character in it called Nicola. However, Cronin's story has nothing in common with Shakespeare's play The Two Gentlemen of Verona apart from the title.
