A newly premiered work has a long and/or elaborate title. If the show survives to become popular, however, a certain phenomenon is known to occur: This long and elaborate title is shortened to just half its original size, if that, and advertised as such. While this is obviously done often among fandom, especially on the internet, this trope is specific to when the show is officially advertised with its shortened name in promotional material. The former can sometimes cause the latter, if the shortened name becomes much more well known than the full title. Other legitimate causes include events within the show or in real life necessitating a change. It's also quite common for a work with an Either/Or Title to jettison the "or" section. Other reasons could be that perhaps the long title served to attract attention to the series and, mission accomplished, can go to a shorter title. Or perhaps network executives thought Viewers Are Morons and wouldn't pay attention to or be able to read a long title. This has a mundane application as well: Advertising time is extremely expensive, so the less time they have to spend saying the name of the recognizable title the better. Portmanteau Series Nickname is a related trope, mostly applying to Japanese-language works; indeed, both are VERY common with Light Novels. Also compare Short Title: Long, Elaborate Subtitle. |

Between the pilot and series premier of Adventure Time, the full title became Adventure Time with Finn and Jake. The long version was scarcely used from the beginning, to the point the opening only shows "with Finn and Jake" one of the two times the logo is flashed (on a banner held separately). It was abandoned by basically every official source within the show's first year. | |

The World Ends with You's manual and a handful of fourth-wall breaking post-game threads abbreviate the game's title as WEWY. In a case of The "The" Title Confusion, the fanbase almost universally ignored this and referred to the game as TWEWY. Solo Remix and Final Remix just gave in and changed the acronym. | |

Popular sections of Gaia Online's forums are frequently abbreviated by users. At one point, General Discussion was briefly renamed to its abbreviation "The GD". This move was quickly reverted because it caused the acronym to no longer stand for anything; however, the shortened name is still sometimes officially referenced, as are some other forum abbreviations (such as Chatterbox's acronym "CB"). | |

The original movie was just called Star Wars, during production of The Empire Strikes Back they decided on maintaining the big 'Star Wars title screen identical to the first film and then for the Opening Crawl include "Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back" as a continued throwback to the old serials. In 1981 they released the original Star Wars with a new opening crawl with the label "Episode IV: A New Hope." The original posters for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi have a border around them with a much smaller Star Wars label, to maintain brand continuity. Thus officially the names of the films are their original theatrical names, but as a franchise their name is technically "Star Wars: Episode Number: Subtitle" with emphasis on the subtitle to differentiate. | |

Chumbawamba's thirteenth album is almost always shortened to just The Boy Bands Have Won, primarily because the actual title is ludicrously long at 156 words, actually holding a Guinness World Record for the longest album titleThe full title... The Boy Bands Have Won, and All the Copyists and the Tribute Bands and the TV Talent Show Producers Have Won, If We Allow Our Culture to Be Shaped by Mimicry, Whether from Lack of Ideas or from Exaggerated Respect. You Should Never Try to Freeze Culture. What You Can Do Is Recycle That Culture. Take Your Older Brother's Hand-Me-Down Jacket and Re-Style It, Re-Fashion It to the Point Where It Becomes Your Own. But Don't Just Regurgitate Creative History, or Hold Art and Music and Literature as Fixed, Untouchable and Kept Under Glass. The People Who Try to 'Guard' Any Particular Form of Music Are, Like the Copyists and Manufactured Bands, Doing It the Worst Disservice, Because the Only Thing That You Can Do to Music That Will Damage It Is Not Change It, Not Make It Your Own. Because Then It Dies, Then It's Over, Then It's Done, and the Boy Bands Have Won. | |

Happens in-universe in The King of Fighters, with the eponymous tournament often simply referred to as KOF. The Maximum Impact series also officially shortened (The) King of Fighters to "KOF" for those games' titles, though some fans will invert this and say the full name aloud (i.e. "The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact"). To be fair, though, the announcer in these entries does the same, and gets particularly hammy with it in Maximum Impact 2. | |

The Gundam franchise usually names its shows Mobile Suit Gundam [Title], and shortens it to simply Gundam [Title] (eg, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam is normally referred to as Zeta Gundam, and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is usually just Gundam Seed). There are some variations on the formula, though. The long-form title occasionally switches things up (for example, G Gundam's full title is Mobile Fighter G Gundam, since the primary mecha are called "mobile fighters" instead of "mobile suits" as is usual for the franchise, and a literal translation for the Japanese title of Gundam Wing is "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing", though they still used Mobile Suit Gundam Wing in English) For movies and OVAs, which tend to have longer titles anyway, they'll often drop more than just "Mobile Suit" from the full title (eg, Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team becomes 08th MS Team, and Gundam 00: A Wakening of the Trailblazer turns into just A Wakening of the Trailblazer). |

Since 2021, with the English release of Stitch & the Samurai, Disney has been promoting Lilo & Stitch as just "Stitch" or "Disney Stitch", making the franchise revolve completely around the popular alien at the expense of every other character in the franchise. | |

Before NCIS aired, it was branded as Navy CIS. Then CBS decided to change it to Navy NCIS for all of season one. CBS's reasoning for it, despite Donald P. Bellisario's protests, wanted to attract new viewers who didn't know the acroynm and not have it be related to CSI. You read that right, NCIS was called Navy Naval Criminal Invesigative Service for an entire season. Needless to say, the title was eventually shortened because of how successful the first season was. | |

Persona games are often referred to by "P", followed by the nearest number or letter (i.e. PQ for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth, P4 for Persona 4, etc.). This applies to their rereleases and sequels as well, typically adding another letter to represent the subtitle (P3P for Persona 3 Portable, P5S for Persona 5 Strikers). Exceptions exist, such as the two games that make up Persona 2 (Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment) instead only abbreviating the subtitles. | |

Pretty Cure is officially shortened to just its Portmanteau Series Nickname, Precure. This was always used in Japanese sources, but the full title was always written out in English up until HeartCatch Pretty Cure!, which uses the shortened variation. These days, English sources flip-flop between the two. By extension, the English title of Futari wa Pretty Cure is officially shortened to just Pretty Cure, though fans still use the full title due to the Named After First Installment situation. |

Afro Celt Sound System shortened their name to Afro Celts for the album Seed. Partly because fans were already calling them the Afro Celts anyway, and partly because they wanted to emphasize their status as a band, not a DJ with backing musicians. note In the past, Simon Emmerson had performed some shows as a solo DJ, still billing himself as Afro Celt Sound System, but by the time Seed came out, ACSS exclusively performed as a full band. However, this just confused people about whether they were the same band or not. They went back to using the full name quickly, and even reissued Seed with their old name. | |

Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place became Two Guys and a Girl. In fact, the Two Guys and a Girl trope page even mentions the series because of the likelihood of people looking for the show finding it. Like Eight Simple Rules, though, this was justified because there was Character Development and the Guys no longer worked at the titled Pizza Place. | |

The long-form title occasionally switches things up (for example, G Gundam's full title is Mobile Fighter G Gundam, since the primary mecha are called "mobile fighters" instead of "mobile suits" as is usual for the franchise, and a literal translation for the Japanese title of Gundam Wing is "New Mobile Report Gundam Wing", though they still used Mobile Suit Gundam Wing in English) | |
