Characters who don't respect authority and/or formality, yet are obliged to wear name tags, will write something witty and/or obnoxious in place of their name. Just how witty or obnoxious can provided a visual clue to how irked the character might be about being required to wear one. Alternately, another character may deliberately fill in someone else's name tag in a way that will humiliate them. Often involves either a Shout-Out or an Unfortunate Name or Punny Name of some kind. If the name tag is intended as actual identification, see Badge Gag. Contrast with Real Joke Name, which is when the character's real name is played for a cheap joke. |

Munchkin: The Wild West variant of the game, "The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin", has a card that functions as a Level +1 card and is called "Get a new Indian name". The card specifies that the new Indian name should be called out loud the instant the card is played, because otherwise the first name called becomes the player's new Indian name. The picture on the card illustrates the perils with a Dork Tower character wearing a "Hello, my name is" card that specifies his name as "Doofus". | |

In Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, the first time some of the crew members use their holomatter avatars to pass as humans they get nametags with very lousy fake identities. Rewind is "Joe Human", Swerve is "Mr. Person", Rung is "Mary Sue", and Skids gets a blank card to match his 11th Doctor-based avatar. | |
