This is for when something was initially named, and that name made sense, but something about the object has changed so that the name doesn't make sense anymore. Like the Chestnut and Elm streets of many United States cities. They had said trees when they were first named but now, they mostly don't, due to diseases wiping out said trees from the area or urban development removing almost all vegetation. Sister trope to Artifact Title, which is this, but for work titles. One Extra Member is a subtrope, for groups initially named after its number of members, but gets more members and invalidates the name. A subtrope of Non-Indicative Name. Can occur due to Language Drift. In some cases something was a Non-Indicative Name all along, but something else has changed that also makes it an Artifact Name, usually requiring two parts to a name. For example, a "green dragon" has its color redefined as "blue" over time, but was initially named knowing that it's not "dragon"-y, such as in cases of Call a Smeerp a "Rabbit". |

The name of the X-Men foes "The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants" became a bit obsolete when Magneto was recharacterized as a Well-Intentioned Extremist as opposed to a Card-Carrying Villain. Usually, they justify it by Magneto intentionally invoking Then Let Me Be Evil. Some versions have just been called "the Brotherhood of Mutants". | |

The vast majority of modern versions of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe aim to be at least somewhat more mature than the original cartoon and toys, often extensively so. But no matter how mature He-Man as a franchise tries to be, it still has to feature a main character named He-Man, something that'd never fly for a franchise meant to be taken remotely seriously. To say nothing of Fisto, Clawful, Buzz-Off, or Two-Bad. The same can be said about She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, which deconstructs many elements from the original cartoon, yet it features character with names such as Mermista, Catra or Double Trouble. It's most apparent with Bow the archer, when Bow's dads never wanted him to be an archer anyway. |

Arrow: In season 5, Oliver recruits five new members to his team, they were referred to in-universe as The Recruits and New Team Arrow. In season 6, the remaining recruits, Curtis, Dinah, and Renee, have a major split that puts them in opposition with Original Team Arrow (Oliver, Diggle, Felicity). However, they are often still referred to as New Team Arrow both in-universe and out. Curtis eventually suggests "The Outsiders" but at the end of season 6, it hasn't caught on and they don't seem to have an official name. | |

In Bloons Tower Defense, towers named after the projectiles they throw tend to have an upgrade that makes them stop shooting the projectile they're named after. The Dart Monkey ceases to throw darts once they get the Spike-o-Pult (and Juggernaut after it). The Boomerang Monkey can exchange its boomerangs with Krull glaives. The Dartling Gunner stops shooting darts when upgraded to Tier 3 and above. The Tack Shooter ceases to shoot tacks when upgraded past Blade Shooter or Ring of Fire. |

Serina: The ancestral gravedigger species is so named because of its distinctive habit of killing prey using spiked pit traps. None of its three descendant species alive during the Ocean Age retains this habit — thalassic gravediggers and icefishers both hunt sealife using implements such as fishing lines, nets and harpoons, while savage gravediggers lack both the resources and intelligence for any kind of tool use — but retain the collective moniker used for their ancestors. | |

Back to the Future In 1955, Lou's Café is a café owned by Lou Caruthers. By 1985, it has become Lou's Aerobic Fitness Center and, given his age in 1955, Lou, if he's still alive, is probably no longer the actual owner of the building (or if he is, he's just collecting rent money). Twin Pines Mall (or Lone Pine Mall, depending on which timeline you're in) was named after the tree farm which used to exist on the land. Twin Pines Ranch being changed to Lone Pine Ranch after Marty ran over one of the display trees is an example of averting this trope, resulting in the irony that the name later becomes the artifact anyway when the mall is built. |

In Naruto, many of the so-called "Hidden Villages" are massive cities whose locations are well-known to the general public. They can still be considered "hidden" in the sense that they're surrounded by something that separates them from the rest of the world (the Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha, is in the middle of a forest, for example), but in the state they're in when the story takes place, they can in no way be considered mere villages anymore. | |

The National Wrestling Alliance was for most of its history an alliance of American pro wrestling promotions, with a couple overseas members, and was the backbone of the territory system. Due to various poor business decisions by NWA members and stiff competition the NWA in the 2020s is now a singular promotionnote Currently owned by Smashing Pumpkins frontman/vocalist Billy Corgan, who purchased the NWA's rights and trademarks in 2018 that really has no connection to the old territory companies. | |

Sophist of the Party Crashers used have "Sophisticated Eevee" as his username, so his friends would naturally refer to him as simply "Eevee" for short. However, he has since shortened his username to just "Sophist", effectively dropping the Eevee subname. He explains in this tweet that he did this to make himself more unique and recognizable, distancing himself from some random Pokémon character. But despite this name change, his friends still frequently refer to him as "Eevee" to this day. | |

Saints Row: The Third Street Saints gang's name in the original Saints Row was a Punny Name referring both to their HQ in an old church of the Stilwater's Saints Row district and to their claim to being the "good guys" in the Stilwater underworld, fighting for the common people against the actual criminal gangs. In the second game, they lose their hold of Saints Row and, after a change in leadership, abandon any pretense of goodness to become just another (albeit extremely persistent) power-hungry gang. The third game takes place in an entirely new city, and the next two leave Earth altogether, so by the time of Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell, they aren't really "Saints" in anything but a self-applied moniker. | |

In The Muppet Show, there's a character in the orchestra called Trumpet Girl because, logically enough, she plays the trumpet. Except that once Lips was introduced in the final season as the main trumpet player, she moved to the trombone, and in The Muppets (2011), she plays the clarinet. Rashida Jones, who puppeteered her in the movie, named her Dolores, but officially, she's still Trumpet Girl. | |

The eponymous Cursed Princess Club was originally named when they just included princesses with Curses. But they have since inducted members such as Saffron, a prince with a cursed Evil Hand, and main character Gwendolyn, a princess who is not cursed (granted, her ugly appearance is sometimes characterized by others as a "curse" because of how problematic it is for her, but that's not the connotation of the word the club's name originally implied). And then Gwen's fiancé Frederick, who is neither cursed nor a princess, joins as well. Calpernia, the founder and president of the club, says it's mostly because the club's T-shirts already had the name "Cursed Princess Club" printed on them. Saffron is eager to change the name but is constantly overruled. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The pseudodragon was named in 1st Edition, when it was the only "false dragon" that looked like a true dragon without being one. But subsequent bestiaries have placed it in an entire family of dragonets - including fire drakes, Fairy Dragons, and other small, dragon-shaped creatures - so calling that particular specimen a "pseudodragon" makes less sense. Then 3rd Edition gave the pseudodragon the new Dragon creature type, making the name even more inaccurate. | |

In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Reyson, has an ability called "Canto" which allows him to give adjacent allies an Extra Turn. The word comes from Italian where it means "to sing", which made sense because the units were refreshed by his heron Magic Music. However, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn gave the name "Canto" to a different skill that allows mounted units to move after performing an action, likely due to a translation error.note The Japanese name for the Canto in PoR is å†�行動, meaning "act again", while the one in RD is å†�移動, meaning "move again". It's theorized that the translators got them mixed up due to the similarity, especially since the herons' Magic Music could now do more than give an Extra Turn and their skill was renamed to 呪æŒè¬¡ã�„, approximately meaning "magic singer", so "å†�行動" was no longer an existing skill name that might've helped them to catch the mistake. This led to the fan community to refer to all instances where mounted units could move after performing an action as "canto". As a result of fan usage, it officially became an artifact when the mechanic returned in Fire Emblem Heroes and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. However, the artifact was retired in Fire Emblem Engage, which replaced the word with the similar-sounding and more appropriate "Canter", a horse gait whose speed is between a trot and a gallop, referencing the fact that it was exclusive to Emblem Sigurd, a cavalry unit from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. | |

Soylent Green in Make Room! Make Room! was initially named as such due to being made from soy and lentils. Thanks to Soylent Green and its Adaptation Displacement, most will now think of Soylent Green as having more to do with cannibalism. | |

Wolfos from The Legend of Zelda are a double example of this: Their name has the "-fos" suffix that generally denotes the more humanoid monsters in the series. This made sense in the N64 games where they were more anthropomorphic, but less so where their later appearance has changed to look like natural wolves. White Wolfos were originally named that to distinguish them from their basic grey kin. They retain their full name in Twilight Princess and Spirit Tracks, despite being the only kind of Wolfos encountered there. |

In the backstory of the Halo games, the United Nations served as the main force organizing the Earth's extrasolar colonization efforts, establishing a military wing known as the United Nations Space Command (UNSC). By the time the series begins, they've long-since reformed into the Unified Earth Government, but the UNSC keeps its original name out of tradition. | |

In Gargoyles, the recurring antagonist "Coyote" is an example. He got his name because he was originally a Ridiculously Human Robot who disguised himself as David Xanatos and styled himself as the sixth member of "The Pack", an animal-themed group that already included a "Fox", "Wolf", "Hyena", "Jackal" and "Dingo". He eventually ditched the human disguise and abandoned the Pack to serve as Xanatos' henchman full-time, but he never stopped calling himself "Coyote". note Word of God indicates that he was also slated to be a major antagonist in the planned spin-off Gargoyles 2199, which would have taken place long after the Pack's death—making his name even more of an artifact. | |

The Loud House: Rusty Spokes' name is a pun on bicycles, due to him being introduced as part of a bicycle gang whose other members had similar puns in their names.

A Song of Ice and Fire: The Seven Kingdoms. Once upon a time, there really were seven independent kingdoms in Westeros, but following Aegon's Conquest and years of diplomacy, all of them were united as a single monarchy, with the Targaryen dynasty at the top. Hence why the newbuilt capital is called King's Landing instead of Emperor's Landing. Even after the Targaryens were deposed, the seven continue to recognize a single authority from King's Landing, at least until the War of the Five Kings cause the North and the Iron Islands to secede. The War of the Five Kings is accurate when it is first named, since there are five kings or pretenders involved (Joffrey Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, Robb Stark, and Balon Greyjoy). By the events of A Dance with Dragons, however, only one of them is still alive, with three more added, meaning the total number of kings or claimants stands at eight (not including Daenerys Targaryen, who also claims the Iron Throne but is still busy in Essos). |

Pokémon: The name of the franchise and the creatures themselves, Pokémon or Pocket Monsters. It comes from the fact they were originally going to be violent and monstrous beings resembling kaiju. The kaiju inspiration was dropped, with most Pokémon being based on animals rather than monsters, and a large percentage of them looking downright adorable, yet they're still referred to as monsters. The National Pokédex is called such because it was originally used across the various regions in the games, all of which were set in the same nation (that is, the Pokémon world's version of Japan). However, the series has moved away from Japan since then, to the point we've had regions situated in the the side of the world; yet the National Pokédex is still known as that. |

The Martian Manhunter's name came from his earlier appearances, where he appeared in Detective Comics and his main gimmick was that he was an investigator who was also an alien in disguise. As the Silver Age kicked into full gear, he was retooled into a more conventional superhero, and the detective side of his character fell out of focus almost completely. The "Manhunter" side of his name is now rather incongruous, and even seems a bit malevolent to some readers now that it isn't associated with detectives and investigators anymore. | |

The Final Fantasy games have this with the Dragoon job, which in the games is a foot soldier who specializes in spears and jumping attacks. Historically, dragoons were early cavalry armed with blunderbusses that were called "dragons" due to how they appeared when fired (and frequently decorated to look like dragons, to boot). When the class first started to appear in English, it got stuck with a Non-Indicative Name because the original Japanese name of Dragon Knight ran afoul of Character Name Limits. Between the obscurity of the actual profession, the widespread success of the franchise, and the fact that one of the series' top Ensemble Darkhourses has the job and did so back when said name limits were in force, the name has stuck with only one attempt to use the original name. It helps that the artifact name is at least evocative of their abilities. | |

In VeggieTales, Mr. Nezzer, full name Nebby K. Nezzer, was named as such because he took the place of Nebuchadnezzar in the Bible story which marked his first appearance. He kept the name for the remainder of the series despite having no narrative connection to Nebuchadnezzar at any other point. This is true of several other characters, whose role in their first appearance is assumed to be their real name and identity. Miss Achmetha was originally a minor character from the Esther story (a beauty pageant contestant from Achmetha, to Esther's Miss Babylon) and, despite being one of the more versatile characters in the series, is still identified as Miss Achmetha in the credits. |

Sonic the Hedgehog: Amy's name stands out amongst a cast of characters like "Sonic", "Knuckles", "Shadow", "Cream", and "Blaze". The only major Funny Animal character with a similar name is Miles Prower, who goes by the name Tails. Amy's oddball name is because she originates from an early manga where most of the cast had regular names like "Nicky" and "Polly". Amy was transferred over without much of a name change. She was briefly called "Rosy the Rascal" during the 1990s but this was discarded with Sonic Adventure. The Mecha-Mooks of the main villain being called "Badniks" made more sense when he was referred to as "Dr. Robotnik" (later specified to be his birth name) than now, when he goes by his supervillain alias, "Dr. Eggman". |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Downplayed with Fluttershy. She derives her name from a G3 pony who was named for being a "shutterfly", i.e. a photography enthusiast, which the G4 version is not. She does, however, flutter (she's not very good at flying), and is very shy. The Crystal Empire doesn't seem to live up to its name anymore. While the geopolitics of this world are a bit ambiguous, in the story's present it is a minor kingdom at best, and possibly an Equestrian subject state. 1000 years ago, however, it was very much an expansionist empire, based on what we see of Sombra's rule (though it was ruled by a king, not an emperor). Discord, described as a "spirit of chaos and disharmony", made his first appearance in the opening episodes of season 2, where he thrived on corrupting ponies and driving rifts between them. When he was eventually brought back by popular demand, he made a Heel–Face Turn. While he certainly remained chaotic and unpredictable, since he was no longer specifically a destroyer of friendships, the name "Discord" became a bit of a misnomer. |

In Monster Hunter 3 (Tri), Moga Woods is named the Deserted Island in Guild documents such as quest files, as the island's human population is supposed to have evacuated the island due to a series of unnatural earthquakes caused by Ceadeus (but a few strings are pulled in order to allow the villagers to stay). The name might've made sense in this game and its Updated Re-release Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate where Moga Village is the player's base of operations and they're trying to stop the earthquakes so that the villagers can stay safely, but in 3 Ultimate's village High Rank campaign, the source of the earthquakes has been eliminated (as a result of the Low Rank campaign) and the evacuation order has been called off, yet the map is still officially called Deserted Island. Weirder yet, characters from Moga appear in Monster Hunter Generations and their dialogue makes it no secret that Moga is still thriving and it's implied that some time has passed since the earthquakes, yet the game still refers to the Moga Woods as the Deserted Island. | |

Batgirl: Stephanie Brown originally operated under the superhero identity of the Spoiler. Her name and modus operandi came from her relationship with her father, the Cluemaster, who was a B-grade Riddler knockoff. Stephanie grew to despise her father and his criminal ways, so she would go out and leave clues to help Batman and Robin catch him, "spoiling" his crimes. However, Stephanie quickly branched out into crimefighting beyond her father and she no longer did any "spoiling", she would directly intervene and fight crime herself. She retained the name for years, not counting her brief tenure as the fourth Robin, and there became such a disconnect between her current activities and her original actions that even a lot of her fans did not know where her identity came from. In 2009, following the death of Batman, she inherited the Batgirl title from Cassandra Cain and the Spoiler identity was laid to rest. When she came back post-Flashpoint, she was back to her original motivation of spoiling her father's crimes. | |

Tales of Kaimere: Fabadonts, an endemic class of Tetrapods from the First Dynasty, were named by Assembky naturalists after they were first identified by bean-shaped tooth fossils from their prehistoric origins.

Depending on continuity, Fortress Maximus's name might not make much sense. While he is normally a Titan which entails that he turns into a city, in the Marvel G1 Continuity he is just a regular (if slightly large) Transformer, though he later rebuilds himself to a much bigger scale. Similarly, in the Japanese G1 and IDW Continuities, he is a regularly sized Transformer, albeit one who functions as a Meta Mecha by being able to pilot a Titan-sized body (though the IDW version also functions as the warden of Garrus-9 to provide an alternative explanation for his name in this continuity). | |

The War of the Five Kings is accurate when it is first named, since there are five kings or pretenders involved (Joffrey Baratheon, Renly Baratheon, Stannis Baratheon, Robb Stark, and Balon Greyjoy). By the events of A Dance with Dragons, however, only one of them is still alive, with three more added, meaning the total number of kings or claimants stands at eight (not including Daenerys Targaryen, who also claims the Iron Throne but is still busy in Essos). | |

The Sopranos: The series centres predominantly around the members of the DiMeo crime family. However, no member of the biological DiMeo bloodline appears on the show or has even been part of the organization for years; Ercole DiMeo, the family's founder, had been in prison with a life sentence for about four years by the time the series begins. | |

Transformers: In Japanese media, the leader of the Autobots used to be called Convoy rather than Prime (which was supposedly because the name "Optimus Prime" was hard for Japanese children to pronounce). While this made sense for Optimus and later Rodimus (as both turned into Big Badass Rigs), this name did not make sense when Autobot leaders who did not turn into trucks started getting introduced after the conclusion of G1 in Japan. For example, Optimus Primal was also referred to as Convoy despite the fact he turns into a gorillanote Though he does have an armored transport mode in his Optimal Optimus form. Other examples of characters named Convoy who did not turn into trucks include Lio Convoynote Leo Prime (lion), Big Convoy (mammoth), Reverse Convoy (tank), Nitro Convoynote Override (race car), Flame Convoynote Scourge (dragon), Live Convoynote Evac (rescue helicopter), and Megalo Convoynote Metroplex (gigantic excavator). Following the release of Transformers (2007), Japanese media began following the English media in naming the Autobot leaders Prime instead of Convoy, though the name Convoy does continue to show up in merchandise and media geared towards older collectors. Speaking of Optimus Primal, he is shaping up to be the only Maximal leader to use the Primal title rather than Prime, though this is obviously to differentiate him from Optimus Prime. Meanwhile, fellow Maximal leader Lio Convoy's English name is Leo Prime instead of Leo Primal. Depending on continuity, Fortress Maximus's name might not make much sense. While he is normally a Titan which entails that he turns into a city, in the Marvel G1 Continuity he is just a regular (if slightly large) Transformer, though he later rebuilds himself to a much bigger scale. Similarly, in the Japanese G1 and IDW Continuities, he is a regularly sized Transformer, albeit one who functions as a Meta Mecha by being able to pilot a Titan-sized body (though the IDW version also functions as the warden of Garrus-9 to provide an alternative explanation for his name in this continuity). Bluestreak is called such because the Diaclone toy he's based on was blue. Despite this, his toys are often painted red, and he's depicted as such in the various media. |
