So your character has found their One True Love. They have gone through the usual Falling-in-Love Montage. They have overcome the Official Couple Ordeal Syndrome to get, and stay, together. They complement each other—whether by their similarities or differences—in almost every way. So how do you hammer in the point even further that these two are absolutely meant to be together? Why, give them names that parallels each other's, of course. A Sub-Trope to Theme Naming, this trope occurs when a pair of Love Interests are given matching names, connected by either alliteration, themes, rhymes, variations of the same name, or a Shout-Out to a well-known fictional couple (e.g. Romeo and Juliet). If the couple share an Opposites Attract dynamic, they also are likely to use Opposites Theme Naming. Note that the pair doesn't have to actually end up as an Official Couple (some may be a Romantic False Lead), but there must be clear romantic undertones between the characters for the trope to qualify. Compare Birds of a Feather and Lookalike Lovers, where other forms of similarities are used to emphasize the couple's compatibility. See also Theme Twin Naming, where the Theme Naming are applied to a pair of twin siblings rather than lovers. This trope may also lead to Family Theme Naming if the couple eventually have children whose names follow the same theme. Theme Pairing may use this trope as a basis of the ship. |

The Tamagotchi animated series features Nuttchi and Bolttchi, the latter of which wants to propose marriage to the former and eventually manages to do so in their debut episode (Tamagotchi! Yume Kira Dream episode 44). There is also a giant metal nut on Nuttchi's head and a giant bolt on Bolttchi's head to help distinguish them. | |

Parks and Recreation: Marcia and Marshall Langman, a 'married' couple who act as Pawnee's uber-conservative and highly reactive Moral Guardians. ("Married" because Marshall is extremely camp and so Leslie suspects he's a closeted gay man, but the two of them still consistently appear together.) | |

The main leads of Toradora! are named Ryuuji (dragon) and Taiga (tiger), fitting a Tiger Versus Dragon theme. The pair began their relationship as an agreement to help each other pursue someone else (Kitamura for Taiga and Minori for Ryuuji), but, given the set-up, it's pretty clear from the get-go that Ryuuji / Taiga would be the Official Couple. Even the series title is a portmanteau for their names. | |

.hack//AI Buster has Albireo and Hokuto, both of whom have stellar names (Albireo is a star system of the Cygnus constellation, while Hokuto is Japanese for the North Star). Hokuto enters Albireo's life partially via blackmail and becomes his first and only party member throughout his history of playing The World. They agree to meet offline after Albireo discovers Hokuto's Hidden Depths, and the story's ending implies that they'd end up together. Their real names, Kazushi Watarai and Haruka Mizuhara, don't match, however. | |

The Kindaichi Case Files has Ageha Madarame and Hikage Miyama, whose names are derived from butterfly species—courtesy to Ageha's father, who is a butterfly collector. Even more fittingly, Ageha and Miyama's names actually come from the same species, the Alpine black swallowtail (or Miyama karasu ageha in Japanese), and the two end up getting married, thus Ageha would become Ageha Miyama, making their shared names even more fitting). | |

BioShock Infinite: Robert and Rosalind Lutece are Alternate Self of each other. While not confirmed as Screw Yourself, they live together in a house with a single bed. They are a downplayed example of the trope though, since their names are barely similar, being "red"-based Colourful Theme Naming-type Alliterative Family-style Theme Twin Naming at best. | |

In season 1, there are the leads Eunjo Lee and Wan Jo, Eunjo's previous boyfriend Seonkyu "Jonathan" Kim, and Wan's suitors Joy Kim and Mijo Meng. Season 2 introduces the new leads Josh and A-yeong Jo. The "hyenas" are two people who constantly try to sniff out office couples while displaying romantic undertones themselves. Their names are Hi Kim and Anna Seo, and they are called "Hi-Anna" at one point in case the pun was lost on the reader. |

A very subtle one occurs in Guns, Girls and Gambling. It is established that the real name of the Professional Killer known as The Blonde is Annabel. when it is revealed that she used to be romantically involved with John Smith, she addresses him as 'Lee'. This means that when they were together, they were 'Annabel Lee': the title of a poem by Edgar Allan Poe which she keeps quoting. | |

Sailor Moon has Luna (the Latin word for moon) and Artemis (the Greek goddess of the moon—although the character in question is male). The pair would later have a daughter named Diana (the Roman equivalent of Artemis), completing their moon-based Family Theme Naming. | |
