Many unpleasant diseases have Greek and Latin names that might make nice names for people if not for the associations. Such associations aren't so unwelcome in broad burlesques, which is where these names are most likely to be found. Diseases named after people don't count. A Sub-Trope of Scientific and Technological Theme Naming as its pathological branch, a common source of Parody Names, and target of Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?. Not to be confused with The Disease That Shall Not Be Named. Index Syndrome is an index of trope names that sound like diseases. Can often overlap with Names to Run Away from Really Fast as diseases are something that most people want to run away from. Overlaps with Unfortunate Names if the Diseased Name incurs a negative reaction. |

An example that did hold up to modern times is 'Blaise', which is derived from Latin 'Blasius', from the Latin adjective blaesus, which means "lisping/stammering". By the way, it's a masculine name (at least it's supposed to be). | |

A common ailment on the Discworld: In Hogfather, Ridcully mentions that he's got a distant cousin named Verruca, and there's also a small child named Verruca Lumpy. Whether they're the same character is unrevealed. Narrowly averted in Carpe Jugulum, where we're told "There'd be a Chlamydia Weaver toddling around today if her mother hadn't suddenly decided that 'Sally' was easier to spell." |

The Powerpuff Girls (1998): In an episode where the girls get new identities based on her favorite comics, Buttercup is inspired by a parody of Spawn called Spore, and she renames herself as Mange. Mange is a skin disease caused by parasites. And who could forget The Gangreen (sic) Gang? And the Dooks of Doom (it's supposed to be "Dukes", certainly, but what is likely their leader's poor spelling makes the gang's name synonymous with a child's nickname for stool. |

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies: The entire town of Coffinwell has disease-related names. The mayor is Mayor Laria. To avoid explaining the joke, readers are instead invited to read the name aloud.note If spoken fast enough, it should sound like "Malaria." A young courting couple are called Phleming and Catarrhina. Phleming is a character working on developing a cure for the mysterious plague that has infected the town, so his name is also a pun on Alexander Fleming, who is famous for patenting Penicillin, the antibiotic. It's a double-layered pun. Catarrhina's character design is strangely reminiscent of the curse goddess Hina Kagiyama from Touhou Project. |

Ed, Edd n Eddy has the Kanker Sisters, feared by all of the kids in the neighborhood, especially the protagonists. Their family name seems like a play on "canker sores", which ache the mouth.

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Daki's birth name, Ume, comes from her prostitute mother naming her after the syphilis that would eventually kill her.note The Japanese term for syphilis is "baidoku" (黴毒, literally 'mold poison', probably in reference to the rashes a patient develops). As it happens, the kanji for Bai and Ume (梅 literally "plum") are interchangeably acceptable to use/write when referring to syphilis, with the latter referring to the shape of the characteristic ulcers | |
