When a character that has No Name Given, or is Only Known by Their Nickname, in a work's original language is given a name when the same work is translated or dubbed into another language. Alternatively, if a character is only known by their first name in the original language, the translation will give them a last name as well (or vice versa). Reasons for this may vary. Perhaps the work is part of a Merchandise-Driven series (or may otherwise have a line of merchandise licensed for it), and the target region's toy company wants a full name they can put on the box for that character's specific merch. Or perhaps the translators just found it weird that the character doesn't have a name for others to call them apart from their occupation or familial relation to someone. May overlap with Named by the Adaptation, as dubs are usually considered adaptations of an original work, no matter how faithful said dub may be to the original language. Can also overlap with Meaningful Name if the dub name relates to their job, abilities, personality, etc. If the dub name makes it into later installments in the original language, it's a Translation Nod. Not to be confused with Dub Name Change, where a named character in the work's original language gets a different name in the new language. Examples |

Digimon: In the Digimon Adventure episode where the kids hitchhike to get across Tokyo, the guy who picks them up originally went unnamed. In the dub, due to him now being Sora’s cousin rather than a random stranger, she can be heard saying “Hi Duane� after he stops. Tommy's older brother in Digimon Frontier is unnamed in the original Japanese, but the English version gave him the name Yutaka. This is an actual Japanese name and also an anagram of the main character's name Takuya, symbolizing how Takuya is Tommy's honorary brother. |

Inverted in the Italian dub of Pinocchio: In the Disney movie, many characters that didn't have names in the book were named by the Disney Adaptation, like Jiminy Cricket, Honest John and Gideon, as well as Monstro. However, the Italian dub of the Disney movie removes all these names and the characters are still referred to as "Talking Cricket" (or just "Cricket"), "The Cat and the Fox", and "The Whale", to make it more faithful to the book. | |

The Legend of Zelda: An accidental version happened in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. The translator mistook the context of the carpenter Bremor saying "tetsuya" (meaning a long, sleepless night) and thought it was the name of the carpenter nagging him (Tetsuya is indeed a common Japanese name) resulting in Bremor complaining about his co-worker "Brac". The name Brac would eventually be removed from later releases of the game. The Big Bad of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and the franchise's overall Greater-Scope Villain was originally not named Demise but was rather titled the Being of Demise. |

Super Mario Bros.: The Koopalings were originally all nameless in the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 3 and were given their names in the English translation by Nintendo of America, which have stuck to this day. In Paper Mario 64, Yakkey the key was simply "Mystical Key" (which he's still called as an item in your inventory), while Chet Rippo was "The Leveler" (which gives some insight as to why his counterpart in the sequel looks completely different). Petey Piranha and Gooper Blooper's Japanese names followed the standard King "insert species here" scheme. The Monster Clown Big Bad of Wario Land 3 was originally unnamed in all languages, but later gained the English name of "Rudy", likely because it didn't make sense to keep calling him "a hidden figure" after he was no longer hidden. He was first called this when he and other characters from the game appeared in Dr. Mario 64. Paper Mario: Color Splash: The game tends to not give characters proper names, only referring to them with titles or descriptors. However, certain dubs name the characters. The Mustard Cafe chef is named Don Torrefactoad in the Canadian French version, being a pun on torrefacto coffee preparation.

Animal Crossing: Rover is only known as "Unfamiliar Cat" in the original Japanese version (as well as in Korean). Katie's mother Kaitlin was just an Unnamed Parent in the original Japanese version. Blanca is simply referred to as "Suspicious Cat" in the original Japanese version, as well as the Korean release. Copper and Booker in Japanese are "Policemen" or "Gatekeepers" depending on the game. In Japanese, the monkey at the train stations in the original and New Leaf is just called "train station worker". The English translation names him Porter, though that can be a job description for someone who hauls luggage at a railway as well as a proper name. |

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The first of Marik's rare hunters to be fought was unnamed in the Japanese version, but the English dub names him Seeker. Lumis and Umbra were originally called "Rare Hunters" the first time they appeared and "Masks of Light(Lumis) and Dark(Umbra)" the second time. |

Chrono Cross: The Arni chef, Orcha's brother, was unnamed in the Japanese version. The English localization gave him one through his restaurant, Belcha's kitchen, renamed from "Wild Hungryman". However, such background graphic edits weren't recreated in the Updated Re-release, rendering him nameless again. Zappa's wife was just "Zappa's wife". The English version named her "Zippa". Van's father was simply "Vancliff's Father". The English localization called him "Gogh" to create some Family Theme Naming. |

In Japanese, the monkey at the train stations in the original and New Leaf is just called "train station worker". The English translation names him Porter, though that can be a job description for someone who hauls luggage at a railway as well as a proper name. | |

Tommy's older brother in Digimon Frontier is unnamed in the original Japanese, but the English version gave him the name Yutaka. This is an actual Japanese name and also an anagram of the main character's name Takuya, symbolizing how Takuya is Tommy's honorary brother. | |

In the English version of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (which was the first one developed), the home planet of the Space Pirates is simply known as Pirate Homeworld. In the Japanese version, it receives the given name Urtraghus. | |
