A strange form of Theme Naming is to give characters names which either contain numbers, or which are numbers. Whatever this says about the characters' parents and/or author, it does make it easier to keep track of who's who. Note that this only applies to proper names. For one who is given a number instead of a name, see You Are Number 6. For a more specific sort of numerical theme naming, see One, Two, Three, Four, Go!, Seven Is Nana and Goroawase Number. On albums, may overlap with Self-Referential Track Placement. |

Kamen Rider Revice has the Igarashi siblings. Their names, sorted by birth, are as follows: Ikki (first), Daiji (second), and Sakura (third). It is also the same order which the siblings become Kamen Riders: Ikki/Revi being the first (alongside Vice to form Revice), Daiji/Live second (discounting Kagero taking over his body to become Evil), and Sakura/Jeanne third. |

The Gotoh sisters in Bocchi the Rock! have numbers in their name; the elder Hitori ("one person") and younger Futari ("two people"). This does not only limit to their birth order, but also hinted at their personalities: Hitori has severe social anxiety and, as a result, doesn't have a single friend for the first 15 years of her life, while Futari is a rather sociable Cheerful Child. | |

In Change 123, the female protagonist's three Split Personalities gave themselves normal Japanese female names Hibiki, Fujiko and Mikiri, but all these names begin with numbers: "hi" = 1, "fu" = 2 and "mi" = 3. These three are also collectively called "HiFuMi", which also means "1, 2, 3". Plus, there is a fourth personality, the Superpowered Evil Side calling herself "Zero", which is a case of You Are Number 6 trope. | |

Tolkien's Legendarium: the first three Elves to awake were called Imin, Tata and Enel, that is One, Two, and Three. Much later, we have Nelyafinwë, that is, Third Finwë (after his grandfather Finwë and his father Curufinwë...quite possibly in an attempt by said father to spite his own brother, yet another Finwë.) It is assumed Celebrimbor's father name is Nelyacurufinwe ("Third Skillful Finwe") ... after his grandfather Curufinwe Fëanaro (Feanor) and father Curufinwe Atarinkë (Curufin). So his whole name in Quenya would be Tyelperinquar Nelyacurufinwe Curufinwion. |

A Certain Scientific Railgun: The Misaka clones are almost exclusively referred to by model number. However, when Mikoto introduces 10032 to Kongou as her little sister, and 10032 introduces herself by her number, Kongou assumes this is literally her name. "That's a bit of a mouthful, isn't it?" Number names are common in Japanese culture, as seen elsewhere on this page (in real life, "Ichiro" is a very common boy's name, and it literally means "first son"), though having a number that high would be bizarre. Kongou suggests the nickname "Icchan" ("one"), which 10032 jumps on surprisingly quickly. | |

Penny Arcade Adventures: The Academic Symposium has a quartet of scientists named Dr. Uno, Dr. Twee, Dr. Drei and Dr. Quatromain note Spanish, Dutch, German and Portuguese(kinda) for One, Two, Three and Four, respectively.. A later sidequest involves getting all the Symposium's attendees to sign a petition, and because of the various grudges, rivalries and prejudices they have for one another, they need to be approached in a certain order. Guess what it is. The catch is that the numbers are somewhat of a Red Herring; while those specific scientists must be spoken to in the order their names suggest, there are two other scientists whose names don't fit the convention and one of them must sign between Uno and Twee to get the proper order. | |

In the anime Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, many characters (including the Five-Man Band) have names based on numbers which are used by fans as abbreviations (e.g., '2' for Duo Maxwell). This naming scheme also serves as a shorthand for pairings in the fandom. Just going with the primary cast: Heero = 1 (from "hitotsu" -Japanese for "one" or "first"- Yuy from "yuitsu"-Japanese for "alone" or "only"), Duo = 2 (meaning a pair), Trowa = 3 (from 'trois' French for "three"), Quatre = 4 (French for "four"), Wu Fei = 5 ("wu" Chinese for "five"), Zechs = 6 (German for "six"), Noin = 9 (German for "nine"), Une = 1 (French for "one"), Treize = 13 (French for "thirteen"), Miliardo = 1,000,000,000 (Italian for "million"). Several minor characters carry the theme, and it even extends into sidestories like G-Unit/Last Outpost, where protagonist Adin's name also represents the number 1, just in a different language (Russian) than Heero or Une. |

Kamen Rider had this for a stretch: Decade (10), Double (2), OOO (3), and Fourze (40). The number related names dropped off after that; some fans argue that the theme continues in some of the Riders' visual aspects, but it's impossible to tell if it's intentional or merely Fan Wank. Kamen Rider Zi-O plays this straight with Zi-O and his upgraded forms. Zi-O Decade Armor (10), Zi-O II (2), Zi-O Trinity (3), and Grand Zi-O(4). Kamen Rider Revice has the Igarashi siblings. Their names, sorted by birth, are as follows: Ikki (first), Daiji (second), and Sakura (third). It is also the same order which the siblings become Kamen Riders: Ikki/Revi being the first (alongside Vice to form Revice), Daiji/Live second (discounting Kagero taking over his body to become Evil), and Sakura/Jeanne third. |

In Azure Striker Gunvolt, the names of Gunvolt's guns all have some relation to how many enemies they can tag. They're also all serpent-themed in some form or another, with one exception. Orochi, Naga, Mizuchi, and Vasuki all refer to mythological serpents with varying numbers of heads. They can tag eight, five, one, and four enemies respectively. Cerberus was named after the three-headed hellhound from Greek mythology. It can tag three enemies. While the Cerberus is a canine, it's sometime depicted with a serpent's tail and a mane of snakes, which admittedly stretches the serpent theme a bit. In the Japanese version the gun was actually named after Ghidorah, Toho's three-headed giant dragon best known for being one of Godzilla's recurring foes. Technos is a reference to the defunct game company best known for Double Dragon.note In the Japanese version, the gun's name is spelled �截� in kanji and テクノス in kana, which makes the intended reference a bit more obvious. It can tag two enemies. Lastly, a Dullahan was a headless knight, and it is the only weapon that cannot tag enemies. It is also the only one that doesn't fit the serpent themed naming. |

In Xenoblade Chronicles 3, the soldiers of Colony 0 are all given numbers instead of names. After helping them break away from Moebius control and move the location of their base to friendlier territories, Sena, wanting to further humanise them, elects to give them all names based on their number (to help ease them into the transition of their new designations), just as she had originally done for Segiri.note Segiri was originally number 7; the 'giri' part of her new name comes from the fact that she enjoyed Sena's homemade onigiri This results in number 3 getting named 'Trini, number 6 being christened 'Ix', number 9 becoming 'Fline', and so on. | |

In Animorphs Yeerk names seem to contain a "name" followed by a three-digit number; since Yeerks are born with hundreds of siblings, fans speculate this is their birth order. If the Yeerks are twins, the last digit is doubled (for example, Esplin 9466 primary of the Sulp Niar pool, twin of Esplin 9466 secondary of the Sulp Niar Pool). Higher-up Yeerks usually go by rank, which is also numbered, at least for Vissers and Sub-Vissers (e.g., Visser Three, Visser One). | |

My Hero Academia has a subtle version that uses homophones instead of blatantly spelling it out: Each user of One For All has their "order number" somewhere in their names: All Might's mentor Nana Shimura was the seventh, All Might himself (Toshinori Yagi) was the eighth, and Izuku Midoriya is the ninth. Their newest addition also holds true to this trend: the first user, Yoichi Shigaraki, the fourth user, Hikage Shinomori, and fifth user, Daigoro Banjo. |

Averted in the Japanese version, where they are named Freezer, Thunder, and Fire respectively. Generation I also introduced Doduo and its evolution Dodrio, named after the amount of heads they have; plus Dugtrio, which is composed of three Digletts. And in Pokémon Black and White, we have Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon, which are one headed, two headed, and three-headed dragons respectively.note The first three numbers in German. Unlike the legendary birds, this naming scheme is also present in the Japanese version: the dragons are named Monozu, Dihead, and Sazandora.note From Japanese for three, "sa"/"san". Pokémon X and Y introduces Honedge (a possessed sword) and Doublade (two possessed swords). Their Japanese names are Hitotsuki (hitotsu: one) and Nidangill (ni: two). Qwilfish's Japanese name, Harysen, is derived from ��本 harisenbon (Japanese for "porcupinefish"), with the � sen part of its name literally meaning "thousand". Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduces its evolution, Overqwil, whose Japanese name of Haryman continues the theme, replacing the sen with 万 man, meaning "ten thousand" or "myriad". |

The Fox & Little Tanuki: Both Senzou's (the fox) and Manpachi's (the tanuki) names use older kanji for specific numbers. The "sen" in Senzou's means "thousand", while the "man" in Manpachi's means "ten thousand" which Koyuki suggested be incorporated into his name since Manpachi is "coming after" Senzou as his underling. Additionally, the "pachi" in Manpachi's name means "eight" which is a number often associated with tanuki. Senzou's "follower" Momoji even gets in on it; "momo" means "hundred" in his case. | |

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: The Nijimura brothers introduced in Diamond is Unbreakable follow a Japanese "myriad" numerical naming scheme: the "oku" (億) in Okuyasu Nijimura's name means 100,000,000 (10^8), while his older brother Keicho has "cho" (兆) in his name, which stands for 1,000,000,000,000 (10^12). Both brothers have "BILLION" and "TRILLION" written on their jackets, respectively. Additionally, while their father wasn't named in the manga and anime, the live action movie adaptation gave him the name "Mansaku", with the "man" (万) meaning 10,000 (10^4). Kei Nijimura, introduced in Jojolion, similarly follows suit: "kei" (京) stands for 10,000,000,000,000,000 (10^16). |

Super Sentai does this often: Uchu Sentai Kyuranger has Raptor 283 (which reads as "Raptor Hayami") referring to the fact she's a speedy eagle. Avataro Sentai Donbrothers has the Noto generals, each of which are named after their numerical hierarchy, all with the "Sono" prefix: Sonoi (1), Sononi (2), Sonoza (3), Sonoshi (4), Sonogo (5), Sonoroku (6), Sonona (7), and Sonoya (8). |

In The Locked Tomb series, House surnames are almost exclusively themed on puns based on the numbered House they belong to, though they range from the obvious (Palamedes Sextus is from the Sixth House) to the obscure (Protesilaus Ebdoma, which is a latin term for a week, is from the Seventh House). | |

Qwilfish's Japanese name, Harysen, is derived from ��本 harisenbon (Japanese for "porcupinefish"), with the � sen part of its name literally meaning "thousand". Pokémon Legends: Arceus introduces its evolution, Overqwil, whose Japanese name of Haryman continues the theme, replacing the sen with 万 man, meaning "ten thousand" or "myriad". | |

Manjoume's "Thunder" nickname in Yugioh GX came from him demanding everyone at North Academy refer to him by "Manjoume san da", the latter two being honorifics. Now given that "man" is also 10,000 in Japanese, this led to the following chant: "Ichi (1)! Jyu (10)! Hyaku (100)! Sen (1000)! Manjyoume Sanda (10000)!" In Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, a set of brothers go by the names III, IV, and V. The English dub kept the meanings by modifying the names to Trey, Quattro, and Quinton. In Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Kamaitachi brothers of the Yosenju had this theme. In order: Kamaitachi (one), Kamanitachi (two) and Kamamitachi (three). |

In Pokémon: The Series, Takeshi's (Brock) younger siblings all follow numerical theme naming from Jirou (the second eldest) down to Touko (the tenth child), this is effectively tossed out in the dub where there's no real theme to their naming at all. | |

Codename: Kids Next Door does this to some extent. The names of the main characters are a reference to their numbers. Nigel Uno / Numbuh 1 (uno = 1, Spanish), Hoagie Gilligan Jr. / Numbuh 2 (Jr. after a name = 2nd in the family to use such name; also, Gilligan was second in command of the Minnow on Gilligan's Island), Kuki Sanban / Numbuh 3 ("sanban" = third, Japanese), Wallabee Beetles / Numbuh 4 (The Beatles = Fab Four, and for his horrible luck due to the number four being unlucky), Abigail Lincoln / Numbuh 5 (Abraham Lincoln = US $5 bill), and the first names of Numbuhs 1, 3 and 4 are a reference to their country of origin (England, Japan, and Australia respectively), the first name of Numbuh 2 is another name for a club sandwich (perhaps a reference to his size), but the first name of Numbuh 5 is just a name, unrelated to her French national origin. (Although it does resemble Abe, as in Abraham Lincoln.) | |

Is used a lot in Nanbaka: Jyugo means 'fifteen'. Niko is strictly spelled in the series in katakana and means 'twenty-five' but you can also render his name with the kanji for 'second child', which means something else. Rock's name is western like Uno's, but you can render it a certain way (as ro-ku) where it means 69. Kiji's family name has 'three' in it. The first kanji of Kenshirou's family name is 'four'. Unusually, Momoko has two kanji in her name that are the exact same but have a different pronunciation, the one that means 'hundred' (百) Musashi is a combination of mu-sa-shi, aka 634. |

Many names in Sgt. Frog are shown as 3-numbered codes because the syllables sound like numbers. It's Japanese l33t-speak from around 1999, when the manga first came out. This makes for especially odd English titles. | |
