The opposite of Names to Run Away from Really Fast, this is for clearly heroic sounding names. Likely examples include religious references, light, and positive adjectives. Truth in Television as virtues are popular baby names. See also: Meaningful Name, Steven Ulysses Perhero, Ironic Name, Fluffy the Terrible, Non-Indicative Name. By contrast, such tropes as Honest John's Dealership, Ironic Name, Peace & Love Incorporated, and Fluffy the Terrible show that this concept can be invoked by less than trustworthy characters. |

Wonder Woman (1987): In this continuity, Diana is named after Diane Trevor, who died in battle alongside the Amazons against monster's from Doom's Doorway. This makes Diana's name a trustworthy-sounding one on two levels. Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall, Diana's rival and later ally, also shares her name with protector deity of women and children. Artemis was initially a lot rougher around the edges than Diana, but Took a Level in Kindness. She even became a mentor to Cassie Sandsmark, the second Wonder Girl. As Greek mythology is a major focus in Wonder Woman, Cassandra Sandsmark's name is a reference to the famous clairvoyant. The name Cassandra is also derived from a Greek word that means "helper of men". |

Devil May Cry 2: Lucia is named after Lucia of Syracuse, or Saint Lucy as she was also known. While Saint Lucy did appear as a character in the Divine Comedy to aid Dante, she was also a real life person who was a Christian martyr during the Diocletianic Persecution. This is reflected in Lucia's character when during the game's climax, she insists on sacrificing herself to close the portal to the Demon World viewing herself as expendable but is stopped as Dante doesn't view her that way. Since Saint Lucy also happens to be the Patron Saint of The Blind, Lucia references this by by having one of her eyes covered at all times. The name Lucia is also derived from lux, the Latin word for light. This is appropriate given the white, angelic form of Lucia's Devil Trigger. | |

In part of his back-story in the pages of X-Men, Professor Xavier served as a soldier during The Korean War. In one story, it was revealed that he was known among his fellow soldiers as "The Good Shepherd" because he went to great lengths to bring the men under his command safely home. | |

Averted in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Angel Eyes is "The Bad" in the title, a ruthless hitman who will do anything for money and has no loyalty to anyone but himself.note It makes much more sense when you learn that in the original Italian he is referred to as "sentenza" meaning a judgement or verdict, as in a court verdict or judgement in the eyes of the Lord. He is, in other words, the guy who kills you and sends you to God where you receive your judgement. It doesn't translate very well to English, especially if you're trying to even roughly match the mouth movements. | |

Zigzagged in Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Angel, Faith, and Harmony, have been both villains and heroes. In Angel's case, it was an ironic name because he was 'the demon with the angelic face'; then he did a Heel–Face Turn and the name ceased to be ironic (except of course for his still being a vampire.) | |

The Lovejoy family from The Simpsons is a clear parody/pastiche of this. Reverend Lovejoy is a nice guy mostly, but he's also prone to the same jerkass behavior as the rest of the town and Depending on the Writer is either prone to fanaticism or has grown cynical and world-weary and is just going through the motions (though a few episodes show him sympathetically). His wife is the leader of the town's out-of-touch Moral Guardians who often cry "Think of the Children!!" Their daughter is manipulative and even downright cruel. | |

Dr. Thomas Light from the Mega Man (Classic) series, and creator of its eponymous hero. Of course, this is only in the North American versions. In the original Japanese games, his name is Dr. Right...which is still a much nicer name than, say, "Dr. Wrong". Of course, the L/R thing makes it hard to know what they truly mean his name to be. Either way, he's a nice guy. Dr. Light is also a DC character. A villain to be exact. |

A player character in Golden Sun: Dark Dawn had his name changed to Amiti (Amity, friendship) in English-language releases. It's clearly meant in this case to be a Punny Name, especially since his late mother's name was Veriti (Verity, truth), but it's also completely appropriate to his sweet personality. | |

Discworld: Adora Belle Dearheart is a good person but is also a snarky, badass, chain-smoking Broken Bird. (And what else could she be with a name like that?) She was nicknamed Killer by her brother. The Carter family of Lancre, whose parents didn't quite get how this was supposed to work. All of the girls ended up named after virtues: Hope, Prudence, Chastity, and Charity. The boys, on the other hand, were all named after vices: Anger, Jealousy, Covetousness, and Bestiality. Ironically, all the kids ended up as inversions of their name, so Chastity for example ended up as a "seamstress" in Ankh-Morpork, while Bestiality Carter was always very kind to animals. Covetousness Carter is described as "generous to a fault." |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: As you learn during the very first Dark Brotherhood quest, Grelod the Kind, the old lady who runs the orphanage in Riften, is anything but kind. How bad is she? Well, her establishing moment is telling orphaned children that they will never be adopted and have no hope of ever finding happy lives. This little clue is there to help remove all guilt and doubt from the player as the quest objective is to kill her. If you do so, the children gather round her corpse and cheer. Elisif the Fair, the widowed wife of the late High King Torryg, plays this straight (mostly). | |

One of the first NPCs you meet in Fallout: New Vegas is named Sunny Smiles. She gives you your first weapon, shows you where to find clean water (important if playing hardcore mode), and does a brief tutorial on the game's crafting system. All in all, a pretty nice lady. She's also one of the only characters in the game assigned the "Very Good" karma. | |

Hikari Yagami of Digimon Adventure. Oh so very much a Meaningful Name, almost to ridiculous extremes. Even her dub name counts. In a likely Shout-Out, there is Hikari Kujou from Futari wa Pretty Cure Max Heart by the same studio. That's not all; her Magical Girl alias is Shiny Luminous. Surprise!

In A Brother's Price, Jerin's favourite sister is called "Summer". She's very sweet, and Jerin considers her the prettiest of his sisters. (Or at least he claims to do so when the question is who gets to go to the big city and find a husband for all of the sisters — he argues that Summer is the prettiest and they want the husband to consent to the match, don't they?) Maybe he just says this because he likes her and going to the city is fun. | |

In the X-Wing Series, the two Alderaanian war frigates that survived when Alderaan adopted pacifism and were still hanging around the system after the planet was destroyed, were named Another Chance and Valiant. Another Chance was found sometime before the books, and Valiant came up out of the Graveyard to dramatically save the Rogues because one of them had taken Another Chance's IFF tag. | |

Subverted with Sophia Lamb from BioShock 2. She likes to present herself as a benevolent savior of the poor and downtrodden, but is anything but. Can be played straight with her rebellious daughter Eleanor Lamb, who can become either an actual paragon of compassion or an even worse monster. Lamb is a common euphemism for Jesus Christ, while Sophia means Wisdom and Eleanor means Light. | |

Bayonetta features enemy angels, with a variety of nice-sounding names like "Beloved," "Joy," "Applaud," "Inspired," and so on and so forth; the major bosses of the game are even named after cardinal virtues. Though this gets subverted, once Bayonetta beats their marble exoskeleton off, they're fleshy, drippy, and just as eldritch as the demons they fight against. |

Averted in Saints Row 2, where the badass Voodoo Priest Lieutenant of the Sons of Samedi is "Mr. Sunshine". Arguably a fringe case between this and Fluffy the Terrible, but regardless, being a scary, murderous lunatic with an inhumanly high pain tolerance isn't very conducive to being an effective drug-dealer, given Mr. Sunshine's never shown doing regular business, and almost always shown scaring or murdering someone. Admittedly, so's the Boss... |

Death Note's Light Yagami. Although Light Is Not Good applies in an almost literal sense, this is ambiguous. His personal name is Light (written with the character for 'moon'), but Yagami means 'God of Night'. Certainly a name to run away from. It's also a possible allusion to Christian belief about the angel Lucifer, whose name means "bearer of light" and whose pride made him try and take the place of God. Describes Light rather well, really. It also doesn't help that his given name is written with four strokes. Note that this also makes "Yagami" a subversion of the reverse: it is Light's family name, and therefore, the name of his family, namely his father, the Chief of Police, who is noble, incorruptible, A Father to His Men, and all that. Possibly his sister, too, though she was mostly young. |

Wonder Woman: Diana is named after the Roman counterpart of the goddess Artemis, who was a protector of women and childbirth. It is fitting that Diana, being a feminist hero, shares her name. Wonder Woman (1987): In this continuity, Diana is named after Diane Trevor, who died in battle alongside the Amazons against monster's from Doom's Doorway. This makes Diana's name a trustworthy-sounding one on two levels. Artemis of the Bana-Mighdall, Diana's rival and later ally, also shares her name with protector deity of women and children. Artemis was initially a lot rougher around the edges than Diana, but Took a Level in Kindness. She even became a mentor to Cassie Sandsmark, the second Wonder Girl. As Greek mythology is a major focus in Wonder Woman, Cassandra Sandsmark's name is a reference to the famous clairvoyant. The name Cassandra is also derived from a Greek word that means "helper of men". |

Tod Friendly in Time's Arrow. Played straight as he is a great guy in his old age, then subverted as he is revealed to have been a concentration camp doctor. Also, his real last name is Unverdorben: "unspoilt" in German. (While we're at it, "Tod" — pronounced with a long o — just happens to be the German word for "death". Make of that what you will.) | |

The Doctor from Doctor Who. Generally plays this straight, but many in-universe hear this name and get an immediate Oh, Crap! reaction. This includes villains and non-villains. Lampshaded in "A Good Man Goes to War"; toward the end, River Song revealed that many planets (including possibly Earth) have taken the word 'Doctor' into their language as a word for 'healer' or 'learned person', because of The Doctor's influence. But many other planets use the word 'Doctor' to mean 'warrior', for much the same reason. |

Subverted in Person of Interest. An artificial intelligence called "Samaritan" is featured starting halfway through the third season. An artificial intelligence that is most definitely both a crapshoot and an unrestricted surveillance system. | |

Pokémon Sun and Moon has the Aether Foundation. Double Subverted. Lusamine, the leader of the organization, is an abusive mother who abandoned her children because she was obsessed with the Ultra Beasts... or rather, was, in the original game. With a couple of exceptions (such as Faba) most people within the organization have good intentions. In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon they're not the antagonists any longer, even if Lusamine's methods are questionable at best, and Faba is still evil. | |

Edgar Friendly in Demolition Man. Zig-Zagged: on the one hand, he is a resistance leader who represents chaos to a carefully ordered society. On the other, he doesn't go out of his way to kill anyone and mostly just wants to procure food and supplies so that his people don't have to choose between living in a repressive nanny state and starvation. | |

Digimon Tamers: Gallantmon's name is derived from the "gallant", which means "brave" or "heroic". Fittingly, Gallantmon is a Knight in Shining Armor as opposed to a monstrous dragon like Guilmon's other mega form. | |

Ace Attorney: Who wouldn't trust a guy named Apollo Justice or Phoenix Wright? Both are Crusading Lawyers and dedicated to finding the truth. Posthumous examples include Bruce Goodman (from Rise from the Ashes), Celeste Inpax (from Justice for All), Buddy Faith (from Investigations), and Constance Courte (from Dual Destinies). These are notable given the series' penchant for Asshole Victim and Meaningful Name, and indicates that they were likely good people. Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 does play with this a little with the dialogue between Phoenix Wright and Jean Grey: |

The Matrix: Religious-themed names are common among the good guys. Morpheus is named after the Greek god of dreams. He is the one who awakens Neo to the reality that he is trapped in a Lotus-Eater Machine. Trinity's name is a reference to the Holy Trinity (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) in Christian Theology. She is the one who sets Neo on the path to finding out what the Matrix is and revives him with The Power of Love when he is killed by Smith in the climax of the first film. The connection is strengthened when she gains the same powers as Neo in The Matrix Resurrections, making her a "co-One". Seraph is a benevolent program who aids the rebels. He is named after a heavenly being of Judeo-Christian scripture and there is some dialogue about him having "lost his wings". |
