When a person's name sounds like it can refer to a person's breasts, bottom, genitalia, or depraved acts one does with all three. There is a certain Double Standard when it comes to Euphemistic Names. When a woman has it, expect her to be the smoking-hot Femme Fatale type that is just begging to be hit on by the male protagonist. If it's a man, it's either an Atrocious Alias he picked out for himself to evoke the trope or an Unfortunate Name that got him bullied in school. The two common applications of Euphemistic Names are in either Tuxedo and Martini–style Spy Fiction or Pornography. In the latter, it's a staple of Porn Names for obvious reasons. It also regularly crops up in Parallel Porn Titles, where any naughty pun that can be made from the original title will be made. Related to Meaningful Name, Punny Name, and Unfortunate Names. May turn out to be a Real Joke Name. If the name was bestowed by someone else, it may be an Embarrassing Nickname. For innuendos that originally sounded innocent (like those wholesome old names "Dick" and "Fanny"), see Have a Gay Old Time. See also A Dick in Name, usually used with the Jerkass meaning of dick, rather than the sexual one. |

World's End Harem: Shota Doi, the deuteragonist, is a case that gets Lost in Translation unless you're familiar with Japanese pornography: "shota" is a term for fetish scenarios where a motherly older woman has sex with an inexperienced younger male, i.e. pretty much exactly what happens when Shota is unfrozen and placed into a "Truman Show" Plot that includes his beloved former music teacher Yuzuki Hanyu. | |

Played with in the Seinfeld episode "The Junior Mint". Jerry's new girlfriend told him that her name rhymes with a part of the female anatomy, but he can't remember what it is. In desperation, he guesses Bovary, Mulva, Loleola, Celeste, Hest, and Gipple, and she storms out angrily. It isn't until too late that he remembers it's Dolores. | |

A pair of Saturday Night Live sketches feature news reports on disasters happening at the local name change office and interviews with the poor saps who didn't get to change their names. This includes folks with sexual Punny Names like Edith Puthienote which sounds like "eat this pussy" with a lisp, Duncan Dixon-Coffey, and Mike Rodick (who immediately regrets his decision to go by his mother's maiden name and become Mike Litt). | |

A question in The Chase (Game Show) asked who Andy Capp is known as in Germany — Dick Tingeler, Helmut Schmacker, or Willi Wakker. Bradley and the audience near-instantly lost their composure at the first name. Another particularly notorious question asked "In what sport does Fanny Chmelar compete for Germany?" Bradley nearly inhales his lips for a whole minute trying to keep from laughing and ultimately fails. |

The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong: The protagonist Shen Yuan's online ID was Peerless Cucumber (cucumber being as a euphemism for a penis). He also attempts to use it as a regular alias later in the story, though he almost immediately regrets it. Shang Qinghua, the author of the novel the story is set in, wrote under the name Airplane Shooting Towards the Sky. 'Beating one's airplane' is Chinese slang for masturbation. |
