This is the unsettling habit of giving something a title which is a pun on the lead character's name — particularly if the character's name reflects the work's premise, theme or both. For example, in a TV series named Swift Justice you can pretty much bet that our hero will be named something like "Jane Justice" or "John Swift" (or, Heaven help us, Federal District Court Judge "Justice Alice Swift"). The most common name to appear in this context is probably "Grace." On television, this is most common in the United Kingdom, but still happens elsewhere. In the United States, puns are more popular for titles of individual episodes, as in Knight Rider, Airwolf and Remington Steele. See Punny Name for characters; also compare Justified Title. A subtrope of Character Title and Pun-Based Title. If a work's name is a pun on anything other than a character's name, it should go to Pun-Based Title or its subtrope Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title. See also The Law Firm of Pun, Pun, and Wordplay. Also compare with Steven Ulysses Perhero, when the character's name or surname equals with his role. |

The first four novels about hitman John Rain had Publisher Chosen Titles based on rain-related puns. Then the books had titles based around the word 'assassin' whether or not they fit what was in the book. However, author Barry Eisler has since re-released the books with new names. | |

Strangely averted in Knight and Day. The title combined with the plotline suggest that at some point in development the Action Hero male protagonist and Action Survivor female protagonist were named Knight and Day, but they don't have those surnames in the actual film.

The main character of Squid Girl is called Ika Musume, or Ika-channote mainly by Sanae, or Ika-nee-channote mainly by Takeru. Every mini-episode (of which there are three per full episode) has a title written in the negative interrogativenote for example: "Aren't I...", "Won't you...", "Doesn't she...", which, in Japanese, causes the title to end in "nai ka", just for the porpoise of having "i-ka" in it. | |

Hokuto no Ken, the Japanese title of Fist of the North Star, can be interpreted as a reference to either: the protagonist Kenshiro, whose name is commonly shortened to Ken (making the title "Ken of Hokuto"), or the martial arts style he practices, Hokuto Shin Ken (or the Divine Fist of Hokuto). The keyword here is "Ken", which translates to "Fist". | |

King of the Hill is about Hank Hill and his family. To keep the pun intact, the Latin American dub is called Los Reyes de la colina, and Hank Hill was renamed Héctor Reyes. | |

My Girlfriend Is a Nine-Tailed Fox (Korean). Nine-tailed fox = gumiho. In Korean, there would be no indefinite article, so the title is literally My Girlfiend is Gumiho. The main character is called Gu Mi Ho for most of the drama. | |

In the Hanna-Barbera Beyond version of The Ruff & Reddy Show, Ruff and Reddy are "Celanimate" stand-up comedians who are initally partnered with a mouse named Tumbl (Ruff and Tumbl) and a parrot named Willing (Reddy and Willing). After Willing fires Reddy he gets a new partner called Abel, and Ruff briefly teams up with a Jessica Rabbit lookalike to form (sigh) Ruff/Sexx. Another cat-and-dog double act who steals their act is called Down and Dirty. | |

Mach GoGoGo!, the Japanese version of Speed Racer, is named after the vehicle the main character drives, the Mach-Go. The "Go" is a Japanese suffix to indicate a vehicle's name, but it also happens to be the Japanese pronunciation of the number 5, which is why the car has a number 5 painted on both doors and how the car ultimately ended up being named the Mach 5 in the English dub. Go also happens to be Speed Racer's original name, which was Go Mifune (Go Hibiki in the 1997 remake). | |

Since the The Legend of Zelda games all have protagonists named Link, this is an obvious well to draw from. In The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is a prequel to the original The Legend of Zelda. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds puns on Link's name in the same way, referring both to Link once again teleporting to and from the Dark World, and to his ability to turn into a 2D painting. Cadence of Hyrule is a Rhythm Game that brings Cadence and other characters from Crypt of the NecroDancer to Hyrule. |

This was a pattern in the titles for the second arc of Wings of Fire books, each referencing the name of their respective protagonists - Moon Rising for Moonwatcher/Moon, Winter Turning for Winter, and Escaping Peril for Peril. The pattern is broken as of Talons of Power, presumably because the name Turtle doesn't work with this title theme. | |

Ben 10, about Ben Tennyson, who is 10 years old and acquiring a Clingy MacGuffin that allows him to turn any of into 10 different aliens (though he eventually gets more). The Hebrew dub of the show keeps the title, which literally means: Ben is 10 years old. Later installments of the franchise have him as a teenager that can use dozens of different aliens, leaving the only pun remaining being the one with his last name. | |

StrikerS Sound Stage X. The X that initially appeared to just be a way to differentiate this from the standard Lyrical Nanoha Sound Stages (which are numbered 1-4 and are simply side-stories to the current season, unlike X which is a completely new Story Arc) turned out to also refer to the Mysterious Waif named Ix, whose name is transcribed to romaji in the CD booklet as X. | |

Maria†Holic. In this case, "Maria" refers to the Virgin Mary and therefore its Catholic girls' school setting, but sounds very similar to Mariya, the name of one of the show's central characters and the Creepy Crossdresser, on whom the heroine has a crush. | |

Perfectly Frank, a retrospective revue of songwriter Frank Loesser. It only played Broadway for a few weeks, but its punny title was convenient for the Forbidden Broadway version of "Ya Got Trouble," which parodied the line, "I'd like to be perfectly frank," as, "You all hated Perfectly Frank." | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation gave punny names to most of the episodes featuring Q, including "Déjà Q," "Qpid," and "True Q." This was followed up in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ("Q-Less") and Star Trek: Voyager ("The Q and the Gray"). Besides Star Trek: Picard, the only Q episodes without a punning title are "Encounter at Farpoint," "Tapestry," "All Good Things...", "Death Wish" (VOY), and Q's brief cameo in "Veritas" (Lower Decks). |
