A way to connect characters, places, or ideas in a work of fiction is to give them a letter or syllable that ties them together. It might be ascribed to a family name or surname, but generally serves as a more general and subtle form of Theme Naming and Theme Initials. Compare Alphabetical Theme Naming and Alliterative Name.

In Homeworld, just about every name of relevance has a K in it. Kharak, their homeworld, Kadeshi, the home of their insane brothers, Kushan, the name of the exiles, Khar Selim and Khar Toba, the names of a support vessel and the generation ship that brought them to Kharak respectively, and Karan Sjet, the voice and mind of the Mothership. | |

Tales of Legendia has a lot of terms that have an "er-i-es" theme on their syllables. The two species are the Ferines and Orerines; the leader of the Ferines is the Merines, who hears the voice of Nerifes, the god of the ocean, and each Ferines has a set of magical wings called a teriques. There's also a passing mention of a place called "Mount Zeriques." | |

HsSSV-01: Likely, Hard Science Specialty Suit ,Which are Specialized Variants of Powered Suits, Vehicle 01 - A supersonic bike. ... SSV could also stand for Super Sonic Vehicle. HsAFH-11: Hard Science Air Force Helicopter? Or Attack Force? It's assuredly a helicopter... HsB: Bomber plane. HsF: Fighter plane. HsWAV: War Armored Vehicle, presumably. Shiosai from Old Testament Volume 13 says that it's made for War. |

In Kingdom Hearts II, all members of Organization XIII have an X in their names. Initiation into the Organization actually requires an X to be added to the letters of the member's previous name. Dream Drop Distance reveals that the X isn't just a letter, either — it's the Recusant's Sigil, a mark of Xehanort's ownership over them, which he uses to track them (among many others) for his true Evil Plan. | |

Donkey Kong Country There has yet to be a Kremling whose name does not include the letter "K", usually as the first letter in a homophone of a word that contains a "C". (ex. K. Rool, Kritter, Krusha, Klaptrap, Kalypso, Kopter, etc.) For the Kongs, we have: Donkey, Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, Funky, Candy, Kiddy, Chunky, Tiny, Lanky, Swanky, Wrinkly and Bluster. |

An odd unintentional one. Many people who work on Atop the Fourth Wall have a name starting with L. There's Lewis Louvhaug, who took on the name Linkara and whose bum character is named Lester (a theme naming for another time). Then there's Lewis's father who has played several characters that would be too old for Linkara's range (Teens to early thirties) who is credited as L. Lovhaug. Then there's his ex-girlfriend (Iron) Liz, the actor for female characters. And apparently Liz from another world is called Lita Liz instead of Iron Liz. | |

Naruto has Hisashi, Hizashi, Hinata and Hanabi Hyuga, and Neji. There's also the trio of Ino, Shikamaru, and Chouji whose dads' names also start with the same two syllables (Inoichi, Shikaku, and Chouza) as part of their shared theme of being named after Hanafuda cards. This likely applies to the Aburame Clan as well, given the named members (not counting Torune, which is probably an alias) are Shino, Shibi, and Shikuro. Really, it seems the only clans that don't do this are the Uchiha, Senju, and Inuzuka. |

Deverry: Characters often (but not always) have similar names to their previous incarnations. For instance, Jill has been Brangwen, Gweniver, Branoic and most recently Branna, while Rhodry has been Maddyn, Maer and Meddry (interestingly, the incarnations we first meet them in don't seem to be examples - until the final book reveals their earliest recorded incarnations were called Hwilli and Rhodorix). Nevyn spent most of the time period covered by the books as unaging, but in the most recent sequence has been reborn as Neb. | |

Homestuck's main four share initials with their ectobiological ancestors; all of the Egbert-Harley-Crocker-English genetic clusterfuck have names beginning with J. Both cherubs have strong connection to the letter U: their handles' acronyms are 'UU' and 'uu' , both of their UnUsUal typing qUirks MAKE HEAVY uSAGE OF THIS PARTICuLAR LETTER, they use emoticons like :u, u_u and tUMUt (which is supposed to be a frowning figure flipping the bird with both hands) and Caliborn even has Opiuchus for a sign (that is, a tilde superimposed on the letter U). Except for the above two handles, all chumhandles and trolltags can be abbreviated to two of the four following letters: G C A T. This is supposed to represent the four genetic bases, Guanine, Cytozine, Adenine and Thymine. Later in the story, when God Cat debuts, its name is simply shortened to GCat. The Carapacians refer to themselves with various titles. These titles can change if the Carpacian goes through a major life change, but will always retain the same pair of initials: Warweary Villein became Wizardly Vassal became Wayward Vagabond became Wastelandic Vindicator, Parcel Mistress became Peregrine Mendicant became Prospitian Monarch, White Queen became Windswept Questant, etc. |

In the Warcraft universe, the color and gender of a dragon usually determines the end of their name. Red dragons tend to have names ending in "-asz" or "-asza", blue dragons ending in "-gos" or "-gosa", etc. This has caused some debate when a visibly female bronze dragon character had a name that ends in the masculine "-ormu" (rather than "-ormi"). | |

Earlier versions of Star Trek actually had this as a canon for Vulcan males — Spock, Sarek, Sybok, etc. Females got more choice, though initially all of them were some variant of T'(x). (T'lar, T'Pau...) Tuvok in Voyager is an exception, though. The Expanded Universe attempts to cover for this by saying that Surak inspired five-letter names that either start with S or end with K. Furthermore, what with the shortage of Sxxxk names, it's a status symbol. Sarek's house is very prominent, so they still get to use them. Even when the name doesn't end in K, there will often be a K in it. "Sarek, child of Solkar, child of Skon." The Making Of Star Trek reprints a half-serious memo written by Bob Justman suggesting that all Vulcan male names should begin with SP and end with K. At one point it was said that the "S" and "T" prefixes served more or less the same function as "Mr.", "Mrs.", "Miss", etc. The Completely Useless Star Trek Encyclopedia suggests that Tuvok is a hermaphrodite, whereas Saavik's parents really wanted a boy. Originally, at least in TOS, all the Klingon names began with K (Kor, Kang, etc.). Then Worf came along and that all went out the window. |

Mexican writer, actor, director, comedian, humorist, songwriter, poet, and philosopher Roberto Gómez Bolaños, best known as Chespirito, was rather fond of this trope. He was the man behind the incredibly popular El Chavo del ocho and El Chapulín Colorado television shows, portraying the eponymous protagonists in both. Other characters created by him are la Chilindrina, el Chanfle, el Chómpiras, el Dr. Chapatín, la Chimoltrufia, Chaparrón Bonaparte and los Chifladitos. Words and phrases frequently employed in his shows include “¡Me lleva el chanfle!”, “¡Se me chispotéo!”, "¡Chusma, chusma!", “La vieja chancluda”, "Huesito, huesito de chabacano", “"¡Matanga, dijo la changa!”, “El Chipote Chillón”, “Chiquitolina”, and “Chiripiorca”. Can you tell a pattern? (Interestingly, Chespirito once stated it was not intentional at first, but started using this pattern on purpose once it was pointed out to him) | |

In Dollhouse, the names of actives follow the letters of the NATO phonetic alphabet (So far we've seen Alpha, Charlie, Echo, Mike, November, Sierra, Tango, Victor, and Whiskey). Note that these names are artificial codes, however; for example, Echo's "real" name is Caroline, one of the Novembers is Madeline, Sierra is Priya, etc. The actives in a second house are named after Greek Gods. |

Several previous hosts to Plant Elementals in Swamp Thing have names that sound similar to Alec Holland (who, due to a Stable Time Loop, is the template they're all based on). The original Swamp Thing was Alex Olsen, and before him there was Alf Oldland (Jack-in-the-Green) and Alice Huston (Lady Jane). Between Alex and Alec were Albert Höllerer (the Heap), Aaron Hayley (Swamp Thing II) and Alan Hallman (Swamp Thing III). And when the Sprout was looking for a host, it attempted to bond with Alan Bolland, Gary Holland, Alden Hollandaise and Alan Helstrom. Maybe this is why things didn't work out with Cyrus "Solomon Grundy" Gold and he became a giant swamp zombie instead. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Several members of House Lannister have names beginning with "Ty-": Tywin Lannister, his father Tytos, his brother Tygett, nis nephew Tyrek, and his son Tyrion. Strangely enough Tywin's first son is called Jaime. Likewise, several members of House Greyjoy have names ending with the "-on" syllabe: Lord Balon Greyjoy, his brothers Euron, Victarion, Urrigon and Aeron, his half-brothers Harlon and Quenton, his sons Maron and Theon. There's also a relative called Dagon Greyjoy. The names of House Targaryen are usually some variation of the original three founders: Aegon, Visenya, and Rhaenys, using either the first or second half of the name. Daenerys's son with Drogo is named Rhaego, combining both Targaryen and Dothraki elements. The Kettlebacks all have names starting with Os- Oswell, Osmund, Osfryd, and Osney. |

Considering Tidus was originally from the Zanarkand Abes and not the Besaid Aurochs, he might not really count.

The Duggar family, who gave all 19 of their kids names starting with J. This led to names like Jinger, pronounced "ginger". This started out by coincidence, then when the Duggars realized the trend, they did not want to have a child who was the odd one out and then they kept having kids... However, that does not explain why they used Jinger before they used Jennifer (to Jennifer Duggar's future relief). | |

The Karate Kid (1984): With the exception of Dutch, most of the major Cobra Kai students are known by nicknames ending in a double letter and a "y" (Jimmy, Bobby, Tommy, and Johnny Lawrence). To contrast, Ali introduces herself as "Ali with an I", and Daniel is pointedly not called Danny. Part III introduces Terry Silver, the co-founder of Cobra Kai, who refers to Sensei John Kreese as "Johnny" (the aforementioned Johnny Lawrence is nowhere to be seen). Terry even calls Daniel "Danny" during and after the latter's brief time with Cobra Kai, marking him as the only character in the entire franchise to do so. The Sequel Series Cobra Kai plays with this with the character of Miguel - his name has six letters and ends in -el, like Daniel before him, marking him as the next Karate Kid. However, his mother often calls him "Miggy", tying into the aforementioned Cobra Kai naming scheme (which is otherwise largely abandoned, with the students having more varied names this time around). |

In the Lone Wolf series, Joe Dever is very fond of giving evil characters, creatures and places names with double As in them, probably because it looks and sounds harsh and foreign to English speakers. This nuance was likely lost when the books were translated into languages such as Dutch, Norwegian and German, in which double As are a lot more common than in English. | |

Happy Heroes: The Supermen's Chinese names all follow the theme of "__心超人" ("__xin chaoren"), with the blank representing a different Chinese character that forms with "xin" to make a word describing that particular Superman - Kaixin Chaoren (Happy S.), Tianxin Chaoren (Sweet S.), Huaxin Chaoren (Smart S., Chinese name Flowering Heart Superman), Chuxin Chaoren (Careless S.), and Xiaoxin Chaoren (Careful S.). This name scheme is applied to the Supermen besides the ones that form the main team as well. | |
