This trope is when a character is put on the spot to name something and can't come up with anything, so they take inspiration from things around them. This can be used to name a bevy of things — babies, teams, places, or pets. It can even be used for aliases, like Code Names, Stage Names, or superhero names, or for people with No Name Given — they may be amnesiac, genuinely unnamed, or referred to with a designation like You Are Number 6. Yet another application is the Meaningful Rename, where someone might name themselves through line-of-sight to remember a particularly transformative place or time. Line-of-Sight Alias is a subtrope, for the specific situation where someone is in disguise and comes up with a bad instant pseudonym when pressed for one. Usually, this is a more comedic and temporary variant. Truth in Television — many locations were named with surrounding landmarks in mind. In many societies, many surnames also came about this way. |

Older Than Feudalism | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_33cd16fa | comment |
Older Than Feudalism: Sappho of Lesbos (the one you're thinking of) was apparently married to a man named Kerkylas of Andros, mentioned in a few texts. This is most likely a joke, as "Kerkylas" is derived from the greek word for "Penis" and "Andros" is derived from "Man". Kerkylas of Andros could thus be translated as "Dick Allcocks from Man Island". | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_392372f9 | comment |
In "Born Again Krabs", when the Flying Dutchman visits Mr. Krabs in episode "Born Again Krabs", the latter denies to be Eugene Krabs and calls himself "Harold" (then he looks at the flowers at his night desk) "Flower". The German dub manages to combine this trope with an Actor Allusion to Mr. Krabs's German voice actor, by changing the name "Harold Flower" to "Benjamin Blümchen" ("Blümchen" means "blossom" or "little flower"). | |

Founder of the Kingdom | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_5530e11b | comment |
Swedish nobility have a certain amount of this trope, as they usually got their names based on the device they bore on their shields. (This started out as a convention used by historians to differentiate all the various people with similar names and patronymics, but was eventually formalized in the 17th century.) Case in point: Gustav Eriksson, widely credited as founder of the Swedish nation, is known today as Gustav Vasa, after his family's coat of arms- a vasa being a trap for catching fish. | |

Halfway through recording his first (and ultimately only) album Big Harvest, Gordon Peterson drove from California to Mexico one day, and noticed that the last town he passed through before crossing the border was called Indio. He likes the sound of the name and decided the album shouldn't be classified as a solo effort, so it was released under the name Indio. | |

According to the anonymous musician who is the sole constant member of Jandek, he picked the name because at the time that he decided to start recording music, he was on the phone to somebody called Decker in the month of January. | |

Played for Laughs on Family Guy. Peter attempts to use this to come up with an alias for himself, and the first three things he sees is a pea, a tear falling from someone's eye, and a griffin. He thus confidently declares himself to be Peter Griffin before suddenly realizing the problem. | |

Smelly Skunk | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_81241767 | comment |
Flower the skunk from Bambi actually got his name when Bambi was getting the names of various plants and animals wrong (such as calling a butterfly a "bird" and a flower a "butterfly"), and the reason why Bambi named the skunk "Flower" is because he was first found in a flower patch. | |

Emo | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_834430c2 | comment |
This is common trend among 2010s Emo-revival bands. Title Fight and Modern Baseball both took their names from random books lying around their home, and other bands such as Citizen and American Football are along similar lines. | |

Origin Story | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_8b385e6a | comment |
The most frequent Origin Story behind the hundreds of unfortunate babies with the classical Ghetto Name Usnavy (and its variations) is that the future mothers either saw a boat of the U.S. Navy on the road of the hospital or were attended on Naval installations. | |

Lost in Translation | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_b7920c43 | comment |
A Lost in Translation example from the original Bardock special. Grandpa Gohan noticed that a mysterious baby Came from the Sky and names it "Goku", given that "ku" can mean "sky". This is likely more obvious to Japanese audiences considering Gohan is holding Goku up to the sky as he’s doing it. | |

Hilarious in Hindsight | |
| Line-of-Sight Name / int_dc57d1e6 | comment |
According to one teen magazine, actor Penn Badgley was so named because his parents were trying to think up a name for their new baby, while Badgley's mother was bouncing around a Penn tennis ball. It became Hilarious in Hindsight as Badgley (about 8 years prior to his work on Gossip Girl) ended up doing some minor voicework for, of all things, Mario Tennis on the Nintendo 64. | |
