Authors like to use themes to create a sense of unity or cohesiveness within their work. Some extend themes to the names of the characters, often beyond the similarities that would be expected for characters from the same culture or who all speak the same language. One variation is to name a set of characters or groups after weapons or armor. This almost invariably has martial meanings. Characters with such names are likely to be fighters of some sort. If the named characters are antagonists, expect Names to Run Away from Really Fast. Has nothing to do with the Theme Naming of actual weapons. Examples |

When they’re not re-using the names of the Journey ships, the Rihannsu tend to use these types of names for their warships. Examples include Cuirass and Gorget (although the latter was also a Journey ship). Subverted by Rhea's Helm, named after the most infamous creation of a rather nasty Jackass Genie that was worse than useless as armor (Rhea was a mage that got captured by an enemy who wanted to become invulnerable. Rhea made that helm... And bound to it a demon that bit off the captor's head, making him invulnerable because dead men cannot be wounded). |

Sleepless Domain: One trio of magical girls is named Team Spear, after its members' signature weapons. The individual members have the matching magical girl titles Sunlight Spear, Moonlight Spear, and Starlight Spear. The theme naming carries over to at least one of the girls' civilian names — Starlight Spear's real name is Mingxing Guan, and she uses a type of polearm called a guandao. | |

One Piece: Most of Luffy's attacks are named after firearms and different weapons, like Gum-Gum Axe, Pistol, Rifle, Gatling, Bazooka, Cannon... After the timeskip, he also extends this to more specific weapons (Culverin, Schneider, Red Hawk...), and sometimes peppers them with animal names. This seems to have sprouted from his claim as a kid that his punch was "as strong as a pistol". | |

Alita's Opponents in the "Moto Ball" arc of Battle Angel Alita are named for weapons. Chakram, Glaive, Scramasax, Arbalast etc.. Most likely taken from the Tunnels & Trolls rulebook. | |

ElfQuest: A family with theme naming. Strongbow's son is named Dart, and Dart's son is Bowki (combining his father's name with his erstwhile friend Geoki). The line can be extended to four generations if you use "archery" rather than "weapons" as theme: Strongbow's mother was named Trueflight. The Wolfriders also have Cutter (partly named for his swordsmanelfship), Redlance (who's good with a spear) and Pike (likewise). On the other hand, Wolfrider women tend to have pastoral names. |

In The Matrix trilogy, the crew aboard the Mjolnir all have names that have to do with guns: Roland, Maggie, AK, Colt, and Mauser. Mjolnir itself, of course, is named after the weapon of Thor from Norse Mythology. | |

In Wild ARMs, there was a knightly order in which every member had a title based on a piece of armor. Jack Van Burace was once Knight of the Vambrace. The re-release on PS2 screwed up the reference by making him Knight of the Gauntlet instead. | |
