So you're trying to come up with a name for your book or series? Well, if you already have a name for its first part, why not also use it for the work as a whole? If that segment serves as an introduction to the main character, setting, or idea of the work, then its name usually reflects the work as a whole pretty well. In the case of TV shows, the first episode might have started as the Pilot for the whole series, so it's natural that it bears the series name. In all cases involving a single work and its components, instead of a series, the first installment is also a Title Drop Chapter. May be a result of Numbered Sequels, where the first installment has no number, the second has a "2" on the end of it, etc. In this case, the obvious name of the series is the name of the first entry, since that's what ties the titles together. When dealing with such a series, this wiki usually lists the first entry as Namespace/SeriesName1. Title 1 may occur in cases where the franchise is not titled exactly the same as the first installment. Idiosyncratic Episode Naming of every entry being Character Name and the Noun Phrase and the series title being said character name, does not count, as the installments' titles are instead a play on the series title, instead of this specific version of the other way around, with the series name clearly being planned from the start. Not to be confused with Named in the Sequel, which refers to a character who's given a name in an installment after the one they debuted in. Please list entries on this page under the series as a whole, not the first installment of the series. When doing so: State what the title is, Mention if it's a variation on the title of the first installment, and Explain why the title fits the collection. |

The Petriculture Cycle: Named after the first entry in the series, "Petriculture." The question of "What is petriculture / rockfarming?" is the point of divergence of the fanfic from the original work. | |

New Amsterdam Books: The first book is called New Amsterdam, but "New Amsterdam" is only tangentially relevant to the other books. Aside from being their name for New York City, given that it's an Alternate History of the setting, there's minimal connection here. | |

A Certain Magical Index: The series is named after the character Index, who served as the focus of the first arc back when the author, Kazuma Kamachi, first wrote it as a one-shot. This is despite her being rather Out of Focus in later novels. When his publisher later decided to adapt it into a full series, he chose to just keep the original title so as to avoid confusion. Then it received manga spinoffs that focused on different characters and the Science Fiction elements, so those spinoffs reused the A Certain portion in their titles. | |

The Cute Knight series focuses on raising an older teenage girl who's looking for a goal in life. The titles of the series are Alliterative Titles, and the games are Animesque in a Medieval European Fantasy style world, so the series title proves informative. | |

The Throne of Glass series takes its title from the first book, which refers to the Glass Castle that serves as the book's setting. The Glass Castle has decreased relevance as the series goes on and gets destroyed in the fourth book, making it something of an Artifact Title by the halfway mark. Notably, the planned TV adaptation would’ve gone with the title Queen of Shadows, which comes from the fourth book and doubles as a Protagonist Title, though it's also a bit of a spoiler as to Celaena's true identity. | |

The Epic Battle Fantasy series: The main series works on Numbered Sequels, with the first game given a "1" by us, for disambiguation purposes, and it's called Epic Battle Fantasy because it's about epic combat in a fantasy world. The spin-off series, Bullet Heaven doesn't have its own series page, but works on Numbered Sequels as well, with its first entry as "Bullet Heaven" and the second as "Bullet Heaven 2", named because they're Bullet Hell games. |

Very early in the original run of Doctor Who, each individual episode in a story got a title. Three seasons in, this stopped, and the stories were named instead. Five of these stories were later named after the first installment in the story, including An Unearthly Child, the very first story on the show. Inverted Trope with The Keys of Marinus, which was named after the last episode. | |

Resident Evil was so named because the Japanese name, Biohazard, was unavailable in the US due to copyright issues. The series retained the Biohazard name in Japan, but used Resident Evil everywhere else. There was a push since the sixth game to reintroduce the Biohazard name in the US, with the Steam releases being dual titled, but updates eventually reverted back to Resident Evil, and the seventh game in the series fully embraced it. | |

The Foundation Series is an odd case. The first installment of the series was originally published as a short story under the title "Foundation". When it and the next three short stories in the series were collected into a novel, the title of "Foundation" was used for the book as a whole, and the original story (which became the second section of the book) was renamed to "The Encyclopedists". The titles of later books in the same series also contain the word "Foundation" in them, even though some of them occur before the founding of the titular Foundation in internal chronology. (Asimov's Robot and Empire series canonically take place in the same timeline, and the titles of those books, and the "welding" books set between the three series to link them together, do not usually follow this naming convention). | |

While the series starting with Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain doesn't use the whole title of the first installment, the overall title came about in much the same way. The second book was initially going to be titled At Least I Didn't Blow Up OUR Moon, but it was changed to Please Don't Tell My Parents I Blew Up the Moon so it would be more easily recognized as part of the same series. The rest of the series follows the same Please Don't Tell My Parents... naming convention. | |

Final Destination is a pun themed after the plane crash the main characters avoided, referring to a "final destination" for a flight route and death being the "final destination" of life. The Numbered Sequels that made up its film series had the initial death the cast avoids involve accidents other than planes, with the title honing in on the second meaning instead. Its original meaning returns in Final Destination 5, if only because it was a Stealth Prequel to the first and ended on the Flight 180 crash that started the series (thus making it also the final destination of the film). | |

Originally, Mystery Skulls Animated's title was to help differentiate its adaptation of "Ghost" from the live-action music video that came out earlier, similar to how fan animations of clips from a series get an "[X] Animated" title (i.e. Game Grumps Animated or the various "Reanimated" Multi-Animator Projects). When it became a full series, the title stuck. | |

Final Fantasy was so named because Squaresoft originally wanted to call it Fighting Fantasy, but couldn't due to copyright issues. So they changed the first word and published it. According to Hironobu Sakaguchi (who also influenced the title), it was intended to be his "final" game before leaving the industry, but subsequent games in the series kept the name despite having nothing to do with the story of other games in the series, eventually becoming the Squaresoft flagship series. | |

The Pretty Cure series began with Futari wa Pretty Cure, with "Pretty Cure" as the group name of the initial two heroines that shared the powers. Over time, "Pretty Cure" was generalized to anyone who had the powers, and the teams themselves got larger, so the "Pretty Cure" part of the title was incorporated as a descriptor in later installments. | |

The Ace Attorney series is named after the subtitle of the first game, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. It got a little convoluted in the sequels, which are technically called Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations. Starting with the fourth game, "Phoenix Wright" was dropped, and "Ace Attorney" became the proper series title (due to Phoenix stepping aside for new attorney Apollo Justice). The Japanese games avoided this entirely, being called Turnabout Trials. |

The Saga of Darren Shan had a weird variant on this: In the US, the name of the series was changed to "Cirque du Freak" (the title of the first book) but the first book itself was also renamed "A Living Nightmare." Since Darren only remains with the Cirque for the first two books (out of twelve), this quickly turns into an Artifact Title. The movie adaptation is titled "Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant," combining the names of the first two books. Despite this, it leaves out the plot of the second book in favor of adding original storylines and random elements from later books. |
