Nominal Importance	comment	In a video game, only people that are relevant to the plot or a sidequest will be blessed with names. Everyone else will be nameless or be referred to with generic or descriptive titles. For example, if the town guard is named Samuel Winthrop, you should probably make a mental note of him, as he'll very likely wind up being essential to your progress. If his name is Town Guard, however, you can safely ignore him, as he is superfluous and has no bearing on anything. At most, he'll provide some useful exposition, but it's guaranteed that he'll never need to be sought out again. From a gameplay standpoint, this makes perfect sense and may even be a Justified Trope. By only giving important people names, you can reasonably narrow down the people you need to talk to, which curtails much of the tedium of having to Talk to Everyone.

While important characters are given a Character Portrait (including potential love interests), there are names for everyone coded in, from the maid staff at Elise's manor home to the random NPCs that can mill about town and compete in festival contests with you—and there's names for the animals they compete with. They even have some unique dialogue.

Most of these names in the U.S. version at least follow a strange convention, however- while the first name is usually something common to the region, such as Sergei or Vasilya, the last names are usually straight from the dictionary. Which is why it's always hilarious to see a guy named Max Dinosaur. It is because stalkers are given the first name and a nickname, not the last name. This is most likely a reference to the custom of organized criminals in Russia. On the other hand, soldiers in the Zone are referred to by their rank and last name.

Weber has been known to introduce a character, give them a name and cursory Backstory, then kill them off at the end of the chapter, if not the end of the page. This is done mostly (but not only) to make the war feel real; Honor and other major characters can only be so many places at once (and are not likely to be on the losing sides of absolute massacres off in the boonies, but then again...), so giving a name to, say, the LAC pilot who will be killed shortly helps to make the reader realize the human implications.

Nominal Importance / int_2ffcbd43	comment	In the Fire Emblem series, any named character appearing on the battle field is either an ally, a boss, recruitable, or vital to the plot in some other way. Everyone else is generic. However, all bosses have portraits and names, some can be recruited, most can't. Also, some characters have appeared with portraits despite being un-recruitable (to more or less screw with the player) such as Khosen the manekete and Heimler, both from FE1 and FE11. A subversion is the Gatekeeper from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. This guy is a generic little guard with no unique character portrait other than the same one every Soldier class uses and has No Name Given rather than "Gatekeeper." He isn't pivotal for the plot, but his catchphrase ("Greetings, profesor! Nothing to report.") helped him become a memetic sensation among the fandom that it's thanks to said fandom that he was Promoted to Playable in Fire Emblem Heroes. Surely due to the above, the Abysskeeper - the Gatekeeper's Abyss counterpart - is a thing; a lonely Tsundere guard who starts a friendly relationship with a guard from Garreg Mach. Despite having no name either, he still manages to have his own little fun character arc. In Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Princess Elincia's entire family is apparently slaughtered offscreen by Daein early in the game. However, while King Ramon is never seen and Elincia's mother doesn't even merit a name, her uncle Renning has detailed artwork that is featured prominently in one of the game's narrative cutscenes. No points for guessing who later turns out to be Not Quite Dead.

Nominal Importance / int_343830b9	comment	The Night Unfurls: Downplayed in the original version. The mooks of the Black Dogs, being mooks, are generally not named and hence exist to be disposed of. However, there are a few exceptions. Although they have little to no bearing to the plot, they are given a name and serve a small, specific purpose before getting killed off. Here are two examples. Chapter 10 has Genji the Slicer. Receiving little characterisationnote the narration simply informs that he is an enforcer of the Mundus Crime Family and a former warrior banished for his violent actions against women and children, his purpose in the story is to show how the Good Hunter's conducts his investigation in the Wretched Hive of Ansur. And to show off his tendril-power. Chapter 11 has Black Dog recruit Anders Bleu. Like many of his peers, he is offed by the Good Hunter (by a backstab-visceral attack no less!) merely four paragraphs after his introduction. Right before his untimely demise, however, the story gives him a P.O.V. that characterises him as a Harem Seeker eager to be part of the Sex Empire so he could take any woman he pleased. His purpose in the story is to be a representative of the many Black Dog mercs. Played Straight in the remastered version. Named members of the Black Dogs include: Kyril (The Protagonist and new recruit), Vault (head honcho), Vault's lackeys Kin and Hicksnote who aren't relevant to the plot, but have a bit more dialogue and have closer ties to the head honcho than other members, and the ones who turn out to be Defectors From Decadence (Boris, Oliver, Soren and Fredrick). The rest are simply there. Among the forces of the Black Fortress, there are only two plot-relevant characters: Olga, whom the main character is tasked to bring to the South in order to resolve the current Story Arc; and Chloe, who accompanies Olga during the journey to the South due to her importance to the former. The rest are unnamed mooks. New characters are introduced as the setting switches to the town of Baskerville. The named ones are: Grace (P.O.V. character), her friends Anna and Ian, Morgan (antagonist), Brandon Irons (later revealed to be working for Morgan), and the Rat (mysterious ancient entity). The rest are either bar-goers or mooks, hence unnamed.

The biggest subversion of this trope, however, is with one of the potential companions, who doesn't have a name and is simply titled Grieving Mother. With her, it's also a case of Gameplay and Story Integration, since she's a cipher that uses a Perception Filter in order to apppear as an ordinary peasant woman to most people.

Everyone you meet in school, even if they're a filler NPC, has a name (usually a punny one) and a unique face (... well, unique hairstyle). However, 'Only important characters get voiceover' does apply- most students just have generic non-voiced subtitles, but Yandere-chan, Senpai, Info-chan, the Rivals, and the Club Leaders all get voiced dialogue. Students will also be voiced when giving you their Friendship Task or when calling you out after having witnessed you murder someone, both of which have serious gameplay consequences. And then that got turned on its head when Sota Yuki and Haruto Yuto (unimportant characters) were given voiced lines as part of a series of background conversations about Magical Girl Pretty Miyuki.

However, the rare ace pilots additionally have their callsigns appended to the plane model, marking them as priority targets, since they are usually much more dangerous than regular mooks. The Belkan War, which shifts the gameplay focus from blasting through nameless hordes to more personal one-on-one dogfights, takes this trope to the extreme, with 169 named enemy aces (more than the rest of the series combined), each of whom has a unique short biography unlocked after shooting him/her down.

Some minor NPCs don't even have any dialogue. Of course, most trash mobs still don't have names for practical reasons.

Nominal Importance / int_53a73ca0	comment	Star Wars: The Clone Wars: There's a good rule of thumb for clone troopers: An average clone's chances of survival dramatically increase if they a) have a name and b) have a distinct character design. Exceptions to this rule are with seemingly generic clones occasionally surviving (examples include Domino Squad, the clone seen flying the Twilight in "Duel of the Droids", or a random clone bridge officer surviving "Lethal Trackdown" while recurring character Commander Ponds is executed) but in general, named or not, any clone without a unique character model is often the first to die (one instance from "Darkness on Umbara" has two clones getting named only AFTER they are already dead and another in "The Zillo Beast" has two random named clones joining Mace Windu and Commander Ponds when they stumble on the titular beast and the show makes no attempt to specify which one got stomped on). This was also an enforced trope in Star Wars Legends. Before The Clone Wars came out, it was stated only the elite clones (i.e. ARC Troopers, Clone Commandos, or Clone Commanders and Captains who got ARC Trooper training courtesy of Alpha-17) got the privilege of having a name. The lowly infantry clones who are seen wearing identical armor only got a number and that is it. It wasn't until The Clone Wars came out writers came up with the idea of non-elite clones using nicknames as well. On the Separatist side, tactical droids exist because of this trope. The showrunners found it cheaper to replace Separatist bit characters with a droid model they can easily Palette Swap and occasionally give that bit droid a name.

As if to demonstrate, two red shirts manage to survive a battle by revealing that they do have names, with one surviving a severe injury by revealing his first name, and stating that he is saving his last name just in case he gets injured again. This particular Chekhov's Gun is later subverted. He attempts to invoke Nominal Importance by shouting his last name, but only gets to "Daigo Da-" before being hit in the face with a door. Invoked in this episode, where Belkar kills a random gnome for no particular reason (other than that he could). When his companions are horrified by this, he says the gnome was unimportant and "probably didn't even have a name"...even though the gnome had told the group his name 7 panels earlier. Parodied by Belkar in the first arc when he did it to the Chimera as it was cursing the Order. Haley even complained about Belkar killing it mid-speech, pointing out that since it had a name it was probably meant to be a recurring adversary. Played with several times in the prequel Start of Darkness: when Ekdysdioksosiirwo, Viridian Lord of— is killed because he gives his name (it's too long!), and the two main characters survive by giving shorter aliases, and when the named characters Aliyara, Ridiziak and Eriaxnikol, Right-eye's wife and sons are killed, and their unnamed daughter/sister survives. Also? The three main characters are called Right-Eye, Redcloak and Xykon. None of those are their real names. However, Redcloak notes in his preface to On the Origin of PCs: Lampshaded (by Elan, naturally) in this strip. "Hooray! The people whose names I know are saved!" The page image is taken from this strip, in which Hobgoblin Cleric #2 complains about Jirix being made Prime Minister of Gobbotopia. He could have got the job if his mother had given him a name less generic than 'Hobgoblin Cleric #2'. Also lampshaded in this strip, where the vampire Durkon refers to one of his undead underlings as "the other one". She naturally takes umbrage to it:

This is remedied in Persona 3 Portable, when most significant NPCs (including the other teachers) got character portraits as well. On your first day at school, you can talk to several students as you make your way to the teacher's office, some who have portraits and some who don't. Guess which ones end up being Social Links (though none of them are actually named until you start said Social Links). In Persona 3 Portable you can have a strange conversation with a man who, while lacking a name (he's called "Man Drinking Alone"), has his own Character Portrait. It was immediately assumed this man was an Early-Bird Cameo for an upcoming Atlus title. Cue cries of I Knew It! when the game Catherine was revealed, starring the aforementioned man (whose real name is Vincent).

Of particular note are the other trainee Grey Wardens - there really is nothing that will give away the fact that Daveth and Ser Jory are sacrificial lambs while Alistair can be around for the entire rest of the game. Also Jowan, who you can very briefly have in your party, comes with not only his own battlecry, but several, many of which are funny. He's also one of the most three-dimensional characters in the game. You can have him in your party for ten minutes, tops. There was an Aborted Arc in which he could join you, so that's probably why. However, Dragon Age still has generic NPCs - 'Bandit', 'King's Guard', etc. Notably, the two unnamed NPCs who can help you reach the top of the Tower of Ishal are forgotten about the moment the PC is overwhelmed by darkspawn.

But for the monsters to have names they have to slaughter enough dwarves to become important. As creatures which start out with names (dwarves, goblins, humans, etc.) rack up kills, they eventually gain an extension of their original name. Because of this, one can often tell who the local badasses are by looking at who has the longest name(s). This applies mainly to creatures you actually witness; populations in Legends mode and offsite locations when your dwarves are doing missions in Fortress mode are usually number filters and often don't even get names.

That is mostly good advice, as the characters most likely to get a face are just the ones with the distinctive looks.

Guy played a nameless Red Shirt in the show, so now that he's on a real adventure with all the more famous actors, he's constantly terrified that he's going to be killed off at a random moment to demonstrate the seriousness of the situation. At one point he gets so panicked that he forgets his own last name, claiming that he probably doesn't even have one. When he tries to pull a Heroic Sacrifice (under the logic that he might as well go out in a blaze of glory), Fred manages to convince him he's the Plucky Comic Relief instead. Notably, in the alternate timeline that Jason manages to avert, Guy is the only one not killed by the Big Bad. At the end, he's a major crewmember on the revived show, and his full name is revealed.

You know whether a character will be important or a boss if their name is in the level/mission title. No guesses who the boss is in Bowser's, Roy's or [other boss name]'s Castle or Fortress. Similarly, it's fairly obvious a mission title like 'Big Bob-omb on the Summit', 'Gooper Blooper Breaks Out', or 'Kingfin's Fearsome Waters' will have you battle a character with said name and you'll at least get a star/shine sprite for doing so.

This is remedied in Persona 3 Portable, when most significant NPCs (including the other teachers) got character portraits as well. On your first day at school, you can talk to several students as you make your way to the teacher's office, some who have portraits and some who don't. Guess which ones end up being Social Links (though none of them are actually named until you start said Social Links). In Persona 3 Portable you can have a strange conversation with a man who, while lacking a name (he's called "Man Drinking Alone"), has his own Character Portrait. It was immediately assumed this man was an Early-Bird Cameo for an upcoming Atlus title. Cue cries of I Knew It! when the game Catherine was revealed, starring the aforementioned man (whose real name is Vincent). In Persona 4, a rather strange looking kid hits on Yukiko rather early in the game, and judging from his character portrait, you get the distinct impression that he becomes important later (and he does; he's a minor villain by the name of Mitsuo Kubo). The same could be said for Taro Namatame, who is introduced early on and, aside from having an affair with one of the victims, has nothing to do with the story until you find out he's the one who's been throwing people into the Midnight Channel. On the other hand, the Moel gas station attendant lacks both a name and character portrait until after the big reveal that she's the Greater-Scope Villain in the true ending. Interestingly, despite having a character portrait, Mr. Edogawa was never important to either the plot or social link system in Persona 3. In Persona 4, however, he gives exposition on the legend of Izanagi and Izanami, helping set up one of the sparse hints as to who's really pulling the strings.

This is because they actually don't have names, not just because you don't know or care about them. It's worth noting that there are far more NPCs in the first game than the second.

Every single one of them carries a dog tag that reveals their name and can be obtained by holding them up at gunpoint, but the names are never mentioned in-game and have no actual impact on the plot or gameplay outside of being something to collect for completion. The one straight example is Johnny Sasaki, the Comic Relief Butt-Monkey guard who is featured in the first two games, has a relative in the third, and plays a major role and gets the girl in the fourth.

There are still numerous "Town Guards", though, and although the NPCs have a staggering amount of dialog large enough to feel diverse, their spoken lines are far more limited. It also only applies to the vanilla gamenote and Tribunal, but only by default — pretty much every humanoid NPC there is either friendly or quest-relevant — while non-guardnote guards are generic mainly because how the arrest functionality works friendly NPCs are named throughout, Bloodmooon has tons of generically named NPC enemies roaming around.

This comes to a head with the shopkeeper Arturo Ascension in chapter six, who sells you items you need to finish the game - since they gave him a name, they go out of their way to Third-Person Person all of his interactions with you in an incredibly awkward fashion, rather than just letting him talk to you. Even Hans Stroheim only actually has a name because the game tells you it in interstitial narrations; whenever you actually meet and converse with him, because he has voiced lines and points you in the right direction to continue the game he's been downgraded to just "Archaeologist".

Dresden answers that he usually doesn't have time to ask, on account of many of them trying to kill him at the time. In fact, the literal game term for minor non-player characters of not much importance is "nameless NPCs", thus hanging a nice lampshade on the trope.

Nominal Importance / int_e5d95f1e	comment	Completely averted in LISA, in which every single enemy, no matter how unimportant, gets a name. It makes it much more difficult to tell who's a recruitable party member as well, since every single character has a unique design. This really drills in the fact that the goons you're fighting are genuine people and are dead and gone once you beat them. In addition, practically every Joy Mutant has a name as well. Played straight with a few examples such as "Man Laying On Grass".

Nominal Importance / int_e5feb1e	comment	Even in the character-based Ace Attorney series, there are some characters who do have sprites, but no known names, most obviously the Judge. Of course, any character with a sprite will end up being relevant to a case eventually - even the unnamed Bellboy in the series' second case. There are also characters who are rarely referred to by their names, but have them nonetheless (such as Penny Nichols from the first game's third case), but even they tend to have a piece of information you'll need to know.

Nominal Importance / int_e6267766	comment	This was also an enforced trope in Star Wars Legends. Before The Clone Wars came out, it was stated only the elite clones (i.e. ARC Troopers, Clone Commandos, or Clone Commanders and Captains who got ARC Trooper training courtesy of Alpha-17) got the privilege of having a name. The lowly infantry clones who are seen wearing identical armor only got a number and that is it. It wasn't until The Clone Wars came out writers came up with the idea of non-elite clones using nicknames as well.

Their survival rate appears to be somewhere in the lower thirties overall. Most people who die during the battle sequences do so unnamed, however, to say nothing of the mooks Cain, Jurgen and said Redshirt Army mow down by the dozens each book compared to the longer-lived named villains. In one book Cain visits a memorial to a battle from a previous book (set decades earlier) and is rather disturbed to realize he remembers their names, but not their faces.

This was the name of director Don Bluth's business partner when making the film. Brutus, however, doesn't actually serve much plot purpose, and fades into obscurity almost immediately after being given a name, save for a single shout-out towards the end that you will barely notice due to it being a muffled background noise.

The fact that many of the most popular pieces from this time have some sort of additional title to be called by (e.g. Cat Fugue) is likely due to this trope.
