Characters with arbitrary, improbable words as their Only One Name. If the word is a Meaningful Name, it's Mister Descriptor; it may also be a "Miss X" Pun. See also Luke Nounverber. Not to be confused with Doctor Strangelove, though he is an example of this trope. |

Bojack Horseman: Mr. Peanutbutter. Given he's a grown dog with child-like arrested development, it overlaps with Meaningful Name. | |

The Witchfinder Army in Good Omens employs a long list of these. Justified in that none of them actually exist and are merely Line-of-Sight Aliases written on the payroll by Witchfinder General Shadwell, who is not known for his creativity, in order to get more pay than the Witchfinder Army's real 2-person roster warrants. | |

The Doctor Who story "The Pirate Planet" comes close with Mr. Fibuli, which is one letter away from "fibula" (an Ancient Roman ornamental toga-fastening pin that inspired the name of a human leg bone, which would be odd either way). | |

Monty Python's Flying Circus, especially with the Pepperpots ("Oh, hello, Mrs. Premise!" "Hello, Mrs. Conclusion!"). There are a great many examples throughout the series' history. Subverted with "Mr. Last," who was actually named after one of the show's crew. Some more for the road: Mrs. Thing, Mrs. Entity, Mrs. Gorilla, her friend Mrs. Non-Gorilla, Mr. Clean Air System, and Mrs. Niggerbaiter. | |

Half of the characters in The Amazing Screw-On Head fit this formula, and the other half seems to: the titular Mr. Head, his former manservant Mr. Manifold turned archnemesis Emperor Mr. Zombie, and his new manservant Mr. Groin. | |

The Goon Show: Several characters had noticeably odd names, including Bluebottle (a type of fly), Flowerdew, and Throat, who was identified as Sergeant Throat in some episodes. To a more pun-based extent, Ray Ellington would occasionally portray one Sheikh Rattle-and-Roll. | |
