A Dog Named "Cat" | comment |
Uncreative pet owners (or similarly uncreative writers) often name their animal companion (or character) after its own species. Others try to get around this by naming the animal after something else related to their species. Then there are these people, who try to get creative by naming the animal after a completely different species, for example: a dog named Whale. Especially ironic ones might even name the animal after its natural enemy, predator or prey. Due to its inherent dissonance, this trope is more likely to be found in comedic works than its sisters — usually accompanied by some Lampshade Hanging — although serious examples do exist. One common gag is a Bait-and-Switch scenario that subverts A Dog Named "Dog". For example, Alice tells Bob about her new pet Kitty, and Bob naturally assumes that it's a cat, only to later find out that Kitty is actually a parrot. Bonus points if the animal is actually far more dangerous than its name implies (e.g. a tiger named Hamster). A subtrope to Non-Indicative Name, and may prompt a Who Names Their Kid "Dude"? remark from others. If the non-indicative name is a Species Surname, it might be due to an Interspecies Adoption or Interspecies Romance. Compare Informed Species, where the animal doesn't resemble the species it's supposed to be. |

Finding Nemo: Marlin is a clownfish who — according to Nigel the Pelican — has the name of "some kind of sport fish". Marlins are a subtype of billfish that are related to swordfish. Likewise, Dory is a blue tang rather than an actual dory fish (or John Dories). |

However, while the name was appropriate when he was a puppy, Mouse grows over the series into a massive shambling beast that comes up to Harry's waist (and Harry has an uncomfortable feeling that he may not have finished growing). | |

Neopets: In one editorial of the Neopian times, somebody asks what would happen if they named their Meepit petpet "Feepit" (Feepit is a completely different petpet from a Meepit). TheNeopetsTeam responds by saying the the non-existent Jelly World would become real. The Kadoaties at the Kadoatery can be named the names of other species, including Angelpuss, Dawg, and Badger. |

Donkey Kong is a gorilla. The reason for this is that when Shigeru Miyamoto was trying to come up with a name for his gorilla character, he accidentally thought that "donkey" was another word for "stubborn". The "Kong" part was an homage to King Kong. | |

This is common in Wings of Fire because most dragons are named after things in their environment. Examples include Fruit Bat the RainWing, Ostrich the SandWing, and Orca the SeaWing. The prequel book Dragonslayer reveals that this applies to humans as well; one of the protagonists is named Wren. Prince Undauntable also has a pet cat named Dragon, which Wren thinks is ridiculous. | |

Defied by official Pokémon video game competitions, where one of the rules is that Pokémon are not allowed to have a nickname that is the same as another species' name. So, for example, a player couldn't enter the national championships with their Charizard named Pikachu. There's nothing stopping players from doing this in a casual playthrough of the games, though. Pokémon names as-is can also be examples of this trope. For example, Sandshrew is considered a "Mouse Pokémon" by the Pokédex, Dewgong is a play on "dugong" despite the Pokémon being a seal, the "ret" in Sentret is derived from "ferret" despite being way less ferret-like than its evolution Furret, and Linoone is "line+raccoon" despite resembling a badger. |

Nevertheless, in a case of Lost in Imitation, Cheetah was a regular feature of Tarzan media through 1981, after which Tarzan adaptations started getting Truer to the Text. | |

While most of the animal characters in The Jungle Book are named after their species names in Hindi, some exceptions fall under this trope instead, for example: the panther Bagheera (whose name actually meant tiger), and the tiger Shere Khan (meaning King Lion). In a variant, Mowgli is a human Raised by Wolves, but his name means "frog," because he lacks fur and won't sit still. | |
