This is when someone names his team/group after himself. Sometimes justified in that the group namer is the most famous member, but sometimes it's just a point of self aggrandizement. And sometimes it won't even be noticed by the namer. Note this doesn't include "X and the Ys" names unless Y is very strongly related to X, or instances like The Mighty Ducks where they named the team after someone else, in that case, to get that someone to sponsor them. Sub-Trope of Meaningful Rename. Compare Egopolis, Conspicuous Consumption, Airstrip One. May overlap with Identically Named Group if the group is named after their shared name. Examples |

Referenced in iCarly. The in-universe webshow is named iCarly despite Sam having equal screen time and Freddie's contributions being just as invaluable as either of theirs. In one episode, a rival who wanted to start her own webshow mentioned this as a tactic to try and get Sam to abandon iCarly and do a show with her. Though Sam brushes it off at the time, she brings it up during a fight with Carly in a later episode. Subverted, however, in that it was actually Freddie who thought of the name. | |

Various team names in the Fire Emblem series invoke this. For example Lyndis' Legion and The Greil Mercenaries. Interestingly the Greil Mercenaries kept that name even after they changed leadership, and the name Lyndis' Legion was the idea of one of the new recruit which produced good-natured laughter... and behind everyone laughing, The Comically Serious Kent is doing a Face Palm. | |

RWBY: Subverted. Some teams do appear to be named after their team leader, such as Team RWBY being led by Ruby and Team SSSN (pronounced "Sun") being led by Sun. However, teams are named by the school headmasters and are formed from the initials of the team members, with the starting letter reflecting the team leader. Ruby comments at the beginning of Volume 3 that her name being Ruby and her team name being RWBY does cause a lot of confusion. | |

Kirby: The Meta-Knights, named after the titular Meta Knight, who appear as recurring enemies in the series. This is likely for a good reason; Meta Knight's pause description in Kirby Star Allies reveals that he has a vain streak which was increased thanks to being corrupted by the Jamba Heart. There's also Team DDD from Kirby Fighters Deluxe, named after King Dedede himself. Though then again, it is mostly just King Dedede and 63 clones of him... |

The Big Bang Theory Sheldon tries to get Leonard's app development team to name the app after himself, twice. The first time Sheldon uses an acronym and the second time he spells his name backward. In another episode the guys team up to help Sheldon get over his fear of public speaking, comparing themselves to the X-Men. Sheldon thinks that "Since I am Sheldon Cooper, you shall be my C-Men." He also marshals Amy, Penny, and Bernadette into an advisory group he dubs "Sheldon's Council of Ladies." |

In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the rebellion against the Empire is known as "the Stormcloaks" after its leader, Ulfric Stormcloak. However, he's not to blame for this. The name started as a belittling sobriquet by the group's detractors before being appropriated by Ulfric's forces as a sign of their Undying Loyalty to their leader. | |

This is the basic premise of Mario Party 2. The Mario characters create a new world that is initially named "Mario Land", but each one wants to name the world after himself or herself, so they have a contest to determine who gets to name it. In fact, the whole squabble only begins because Wario was the first one to openly balk at the idea of calling it "Mario Land"; everyone else was going with it. | |

Sonic Heroes gives us Team Sonic (referred to as "Sonic Heroes" by Dr. Eggman and Sonic) and Team Rose. Averted by Team Dark and Team Chaotix. It should be noted that Sonic Adventure 2 called Team Sonic "Team Hero" instead. It's likely that the change was due to the game being called Sonic Heroes, so calling one team "Team Hero" would leave people wondering. Later, Free Riders would change the name back to Team Hero. | |

Schlock Mercenary: The comic revolves around a band of mercenaries, "Tagon's Toughs", led by Kaff Tagon. At the beginning of the story, when the actual company has just been bought by new corporate owners, there's a three-way argument between Tagon, Breya, and (titular character) Schlock, who all want to name the group for themselves. Tagon wins out because he's already gotten the business cards printed. There's also "Pranger's Bangers", named for its commanding officer Drake Pranger, which figures prominently in one story arc. It seems to be the standard for a Mercenary group to be named after their captain and a rhyming and/or alliterative word, given that the next mercenary group we see are Jude Shafter and Shafter's Shifters. All three of the leaders that have been shown doing this were pretty cocky though, so maybe it's just their egos. |

This trope makes the titular band from Jem And The Holograms stands out compared to The Stingers and The Misfits. Jem is the lead singer and undeniable face of the band who is a celebrity in her own right. No one thinks it's cocky or awkward in-series, though the IDW comics have Rio disapprove of the name (and Jem). | |

Shinta Fukuda from Bakuman。 likes to refer to the group of mangaka protagonists trying to get published as "Team Fukuda". He first tried to go for "Team Niizuma" after the fact that, albeit quickly, he, Mashiro and Nakai worked under Niizuma, but quickly changes it to the current form when talking to Mashiro on the phone. | |

Jackie Chan Adventures Jade names their group of allies "the J-Team" (which sticks). It's ostensibly after Jackie, but... When Finn, Ratso, and Chow finally get fed up with just being treated as mooks all the time, Finn decides to form his own gang with them, but he can NEVER settle on any suitable name, most of them all involving or inspired by his name somewhere in it. |

In the Avatar: The Last Airbender episode "The Drill", Sokka sees the Earth Kingdom's "Terra Team" and gains a minor obsession with giving his own group a cool name. While he knows to name it after Aang instead of himself, one idea he tries to justify like this - "The Boomer-Aang Gang" — is named after his own weapon. | |

Steven Universe: Parodied when Steven makes a band called "Steven and the Stevens". The rest of the band are all versions of him as well. Played straight later in the same episode where the rest of the gems replace the other Steven's, causing the bands name to change to "Steven and the Crystal Gems". | |

Super Mario Bros.: The Mario Bros. themselves, unless you go with the "Mario Mario and Luigi Mario" explanation (which is sometimes canon). Lampshaded in Super Mario 64 DS in that if you were to talk to one of the Toads as Luigi, said Toad praises him and wonders if he should call him and Mario "Luigi Brothers" from now on. This is the basic premise of Mario Party 2. The Mario characters create a new world that is initially named "Mario Land", but each one wants to name the world after himself or herself, so they have a contest to determine who gets to name it. In fact, the whole squabble only begins because Wario was the first one to openly balk at the idea of calling it "Mario Land"; everyone else was going with it. |

Later, after temporarily quitting his day job, Randy tries to get the band back together, but they voice their dislike for the name.

In One Piece, the group of pirates the series follows is called the Straw Hat Pirates, even though Luffy, the captain, is the only one who wears a straw hat. This goes for most other pirates, who are either named after the captain (Whitebeard Pirates, Kid Pirates, Buggy Pirates) or an attribute of the captain that no other crewmember has (Spade Pirates, Red-Haired Pirates, Firetank Pirates). Less often, a pirate crew has a name that actually covers the whole crew rather than just the captain. | |

When he's finished, he holds it up proudly, and every suggestion contains his name, like "The Ryuusuke Experience" and so on.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Sonic Heroes gives us Team Sonic (referred to as "Sonic Heroes" by Dr. Eggman and Sonic) and Team Rose. Averted by Team Dark and Team Chaotix. It should be noted that Sonic Adventure 2 called Team Sonic "Team Hero" instead. It's likely that the change was due to the game being called Sonic Heroes, so calling one team "Team Hero" would leave people wondering. Later, Free Riders would change the name back to Team Hero. Sonic Boom series goes full blown with "Team Sonic", with Knuckles tries to convert it to "Team Knuckles". To a lesser degree, in Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), the trio of Silver, Amy and Blaze was called "Team Silver". Though, this wasn't really official or anything. |

The Emperor of Mankind from Warhammer 40,000, wanting to honor his favored son Horus' accomplishments, once suggested that Horus change the name of his legion the Luna Wolves to the Sons of Horus. Horus initially refused since he was worried that might cause factionalism and strife among the Astartes. Ironically, Horus would follow the Emperor's suggestion after betraying him for the Ruinous Powers. After Horus' death, the legion name was changed again to the Black Legion, since its new leader Abaddon had lost all faith in Horus following the latter's failure and wanted to make a clean break from him. Orks are long on imagination and high on boasting about who's the boss, so most just name their particular mob/WAAAGH! after themselves. Some examples include Slasherz Speed Freeks, Warboss Bulzak's Destroyaz and WAAAGH! Ghazghkull. Implied in the case of the Iron Hands legion of Space Marines. The primarch of this legion is named Ferrus Manus - which just so happens to be Latin for "Iron Hands". |

Hayes is a bit put off if you choose the Empire of Me option, but goes along with it. If you befriend the Thraddash, they ask you for help naming their new culture.

Markham's Marauders from Harebrained Schemes' BattleTech, which get renamed to [Your callsign's] Marauders after the Time Skip. As shown under the Tabletop Games folder, this kind of naming scheme is very common for mercenaries in that universe. | |

Dragon Ball Z has the Ginyu Force, named after Captain Ginyu. Then it turns out as of Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' that the overall space pirate military organization they serve as mercenaries for is actually called the Freeza Force, named directly after its young emperor. | |

I Love Lucy: When Lucy and Ethel try to name their new dress shop, they decide to combine their names but can't settle on which one sounds better; LucyEth or EthelLu (a clever reference to Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball's production company Desilu). Another episode has the Ricardos and the Mertzes buying a diner and then each person wanting to name the diner after themselves. | |

Every team in the Tournament of Smash King is named after whoever put the team together (Team Bowser, Team Sonic, etc.). Daisy's Caravan is another example, the band being named after the eponymous lead singer. | |

Attempted but failed by Deadpool in Marvel Ultimate Alliance, who attempts to name the team "Deadpool and His Lackeys!". During the end credits of the sequel he complains to the developers that the game itself isn't called "Deadpool and his Inferior Friends". |

Starship Troopers states that this is a typical naming theme for Mobile Infantry companies, using the commander's name with some Allierative Name to produce examples such as Rasczak's Roughnecks. Though when Rasczak buys a farm and Sergeant Jelal takes charge he vetoes an attempt to rename the company "Jelal's Jaguars" out of respect for the old man. It ends up "Rico's Roughnecks" when Rico makes lieutenant. | |
