| Ascended Fan Nickname | comment |
As we know, fans love to give nicknames to various aspects of a work. Sometimes it's to characters, sometimes it's to plot twists, sometimes it's the title of the work itself. Fans love it. On the odd occasion, this nickname is given official use. In some cases, it's only semi-official; in others, it's full-on. But whatever the case, this happens from time to time. A Sub-Trope of Ascended Fanon, where Fanon becomes official. It's also a sub-trope of both Fan Nickname and, if used in the work itself, In-Series Nickname. See also Fandom Nod. |

Abraxas (Hrodvitnon): The titular Two Beings, One Body protagonist of this Godzilla MonsterVerse fanfiction earned a couple Fan Nicknames from a relatively early point, and one such nickname eventually became an actual Red Baron in the story towards the end. | |

Devil May Cry 2: Originally, Dante's secret Devil Trigger transformation now commonly known as "Majin Form" had no official English name as opposed to being called the "Ultimate Devil Mode" (真é”人モード, Shin Majin mÅ�do) in Japanese materials, leading to the corresponding Fan Nickname of Desperation/Desperate Devil Trigger (or DDT for short). A member of the Devil May Cry Wiki would be the first person to coin the term "Majin Form" in 2007, and despite "Majin" (é”人) being the terminology used for a character who has transformed using Devil Trigger, this name would see wide use throughout the fandom. When the English version of the 3142 Graphic Arts artbook was released in 2015, the name would be canonized, made more noticeable by how the same "Ultimate Devil Mode" terminology was used to describe a scrapped second transformation for Dante in Devil May Cry 4 yet was translated as "Ultimate Devil Trigger" for that section. | |

The main antagonist of Star Trek: Enterprise is a shadowy figure that was quickly dubbed "Future Guy" by the fans. The creators didn't have a real name for him, just "Humanoid Figure", but they quickly adopted "Future Guy" as well (not in dialogue of course, but in production documents, etc.). | |

Rick and Morty: The eyepatch-wearing Morty who debuted in "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind" was dubbed Evil Morty by fans, due to his working relationship with Evil Rick (who actually is named in the episode) and general status as an Evil Counterpart to Morty. This became so ubiquitous that it's easy to forget it was ever a Fan Nickname at all, but Season 5's "Rickamurai Jack" is actually the first time it's ever said on the show itself. His prior appearances had either left him unnamed or referred to him as "Candidate Morty" and "President Morty". | |

In Magic: The Gathering, one common ability on cards causes players to put the top card of their library (deck) into their graveyard (discard pile). For years, this ability was known informally by fans as "milling," after the card Millstone, which does exactly that. However, the game's creators struggled to find an official name for the ability; they didn't want to call it "milling" on the grounds that it didn't make a lot of sense from a flavor perspective and thus that made it hard for newer players to understand what "milling" meant. (Reportedly, designers favored calling it "forgetting.") However, in 2020, they decided to just make "mill" the official name for the ability. They reasoned that "milling" was one of the most widely used pieces of terminology in the game, understood by the vast majority of players, and that most new players either learned the game from a friend who already played (and thus likely knew the term) or from a digital program (which could easily explain it to them). | |

In The Binding of Isaac there is an unlockable character who is simply a dead version of Isaac so was never given a name apart from ???. Fans started referring to them as Blue Baby because of blue baby syndrome, a condition which would cause Isaac to look like ???. This name has been referenced by Edmund McMillan and while it is still called ??? in-game, its file names and Steam card now refer to it as Blue Baby. | |

Fortnite: In Chapter 5, a mysterious giant purple cube appeared on the island. The fans took to calling it Kevin, a name Epic Games has apparently adopted. A backbling item later added to the game that resembled a smaller version of the cube with googly eyes had the official name "Lil Kev". During Season 2 Chapter 8, when more of the cubes appeared on the island, one of the cubes crashed into a building, causing letters from a sign to fall onto the ground spelling out the words "Kev Out". | |

Mass Effect: A throwaway line in the first game revealed that krogan have four testicles. Fans immediately started referring to it as a quad. When Mass Effect 2 was released, "quad" was a widely used term for krogan junk. A joke name for a potential Prothean squadmate was "Prothy the Prothean". When you got a Prothean squadmate, Joker wanted to call him that. Javik was not amused. |

Pokémon: "Eeveelution" at first was just a term fans used to describe the evolutions of Eevee, but became official in the guidebook for Pokémon Stadium 2 and was eventually used in the games proper starting with Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia. Shiny Pokémon are just a Palette Swap of regular Pokémon, except much rarer. However, the term "shiny" was first created by fans due to the sparkles that appear when the shiny Pokémon show up on the screen. The term became official during the fourth generation in promotional material. Pokémon Masters finally canonized that the female Player Character from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen is named "Leaf" and The Rival from Pokémon Gold and Silver is named "Silver". Those were just one of their default names in the main games, and they previously had no Canon Name. |

One of the final bosses of Terraria Calamity grew so powerful it became known as the devourer of gods. Many fans abbreviated it to dog to save time, which later became Doggo through a Memetic Mutation. While not an official name for the character, a summon dropped by them later had its file name changed to Chibi Doggo. | |

Five Nights at Freddy's: The "Phone Guy" was nicknamed as such since he lacks a proper name. Scott Cawthon ended up using the name in various blog posts and it eventually ended up appearing in an actual game in Ultimate Custom Night. The term "Golden Freddy" was actually unofficial at first. His name is never stated in the first game and he is called "Yellow Bear" in the game files. Fans started calling him that, and the name was officially adopted in the sequel. The Withered Animatronics in Five Nights at Freddy's 2 were simply nicknamed as such until Scott Cawthon made them official. |

The Sol Dimension seen in Sonic Rush and its sequel was originally coined as such by an unknown editor at Sonic News Network — officially, it was only generically known as Blaze's world, contrasting Sonic's world. It was picked up by the Sonic the Hedgehog Sticker Collection. | |

Sonic the Hedgehog: The Sol Dimension seen in Sonic Rush and its sequel was originally coined as such by an unknown editor at Sonic News Network — officially, it was only generically known as Blaze's world, contrasting Sonic's world. It was picked up by the Sonic the Hedgehog Sticker Collection. A few US-centric manuals and some supplementary materials tend to refer to Miles "Tails" Prower as "Tails the Fox", which is otherwise a fandom-exclusive term. Sonic the Hedgehog: The Title 1 “Sonic 1â€� is used in the 2013 remaster. Sonic the Hedgehog 2: When Hidden Palace Zone was restored in the 2013, Effexor from Sonic Retro coined the term "Brass Eggman" for the unnamed boss, in reference to the original Japanese naming scheme ([name] Eggman), which was given a nod of approval in 2021's Sonic the Hedgehog Encyclo-speed-ia. Sonic 3 & Knuckles: The infamous barrel in Carnival Night Zone Act 2 was humorously nicknamed the "Barrel of Doom" by the fandom. Sega caught on to the nickname when a mug of the barrel displaying the same name was made for the Sega Shop. Sonic Unleashed: Sega adopted the Fan Nickname for Sonic's lycanthrope form, the Werehog. |

Survivor: In the early days of the series, a popular blog post established various archetypes, named for animals, describing everyone left in the final four. "Goats," specifically, referred to players who were drawing dead because they weren't respected enough to win a jury vote. While the other terms, "fox, bear, and bunny," are rarely used, "goat" became a standard part of the show's lexicon, with a broader application referring to any player unlikely to receive many jury votes. | |

Warrior Cats: When the fifth series, a prequel, was announced, it didn't have a working title yet. Vicky simply described it as "We'll be going back in time to the dawn of the forest Clans." From this description, fans nicknamed it "Dawn of the Clans", and that ended up becoming the official title of the arc. | |

Doom: The protagonist was never called by any name in the original game series, so the fans and journalists settled for "Doomguy" (sometimes spelled "Doom Guy"). He has been given many names in various Doom media but in 2020, John Romero confirmed that he was officially called Doomguy, and the name was directly used in Doom Eternal to refer to the character before he became the Slayer. The demon enemy had long been called the Pinkie in order to distinguish it from the game's other monsters, as the name "demon" made it difficult to distinguish from all the other demons in the game. In the 2016 game, Pinkie was officially adopted as the in-game name of this specific creature. |

The Marvel Database fan-wiki has a system of Temporary Reality Numbers assigned sequentially to refer to universes that haven't been given official Reality Numbers yet, but in a few cases, those Temporary Reality Numbers have been adapted into their official Reality Number. One such case is Earth-517, formerly Earth-TRN517, the setting of Marvel: Contest of Champions. | |
