Planet of Steves	comment	Sometimes, you just don't need names. Why bother remembering all those names? Just call everyone the same thing! This rarely seems to cause any confusion, at least for you. Outsiders, not so much. Sometimes they'll also be Inexplicably Identical Individuals. Not only named the same, but they'll look the same too. This tends to happen in Science Fiction and Fantasy, not so much in other genres, unless it's Played for Laughs (which many examples below are). Opposite of the One-Steve Limit. Compare Identically Named Group, which is when everyone in a group has the same name, but the setting otherwise has diverse names. If a small number of people have the same name, and this is important to the plot in some way, that's a Significant Name Overlap. See also PokÃ©mon Speak. Compare Race-Name Basis when the characters have names, but the race is used anyway. I Am Spartacus is when characters pretend this is the case. Often overlaps with Smurfing. Can serve as the logical conclusion of Planet of Hats.

Planet of Steves / int_11859033	comment	Every year, Dave Davenport of Narbonic attends a meeting of the Dave Conspiracy. All the attendees wear name tags saying "Hello My Name Is Dave." To explain a bit further, each and every one really is named Dave, and if a Dave should ever be expelled from the Conspiracy, he will lose the right — and the ability — to be called Dave. Instead, those around him will subconsciously begin addressing him as "David". So not only is everyone at the meeting named Dave, everyone named Dave is at the meeting.

Planet of Steves / int_1858fe06	comment	This tends to happen in stories where the Multiverse is common knowledge in some manner, and the No-Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) is no exception. Though here it's less Planet of Steves and more Planet of Multiple Copies of the Same Person from All Possible Universes. Multiple Sonics, Tails and many others are part of it, and duplicates of the main characters serve as its main enforcers note Though they're named slightly different, with their names always beginning with Z — Zonic instead of Sonic, for example. After the lawsuit forced a reboot, the No-Zone went with it, though it is still popular across the fanbase.

Planet of Steves / int_1a4b3ea2	comment	There is a group of Digimon called Chaosmon. Not all of them look the same, not all have the same abilities and not all of them are even related but they are all called Chaosmon, except for the biggest one, which is called UltimateChaosmon. To some extent, every Digimon has this trope. None of them have names beyond their species name, are widely known to everyone by said species names and treat them as their actual names, and some species names even apply to multiple species/subspecies (see: Greymon, Greymon and Greymon). Furthering this is how there seems to be a tendency for large groups of the same species to live together, such as the Pyocomon village featured in the fourth episode of Digimon Adventure. The exception is the Digimon V-Tamer 01 canon, where the majority of plot-relevant Digimon have their own proper names.

Planet of Steves / int_2212773a	comment	Nearing the fourth season finale, Angel featured a hell dimension of spider-like demons in which no one has a name (though the important people can be named according to their professional titles, such as "High Priest" or "Name Keeper"). In fact, one of them actively mocks humans' weakness of everyone having names. It wasn't that the spider-demons didn't have names, but it was that giving away their names as freely as humans weakened them. And weakened Jasmine, the season's big bad. Angel's trip to the dimension was to retrieve Jasmine's true name so she might be brought down to their level.

Planet of Steves / int_296f0b5	comment	In Blaseball, this has happened twice: At the end of season 3, due to developer error, everyone on the LA/Unlimited Tacos was renamed Wyatt Mason. An ARG-like event on Twitter partially "localized" them back to normal, but there are still numerous players with the first name Wyatt or the last name Mason. In Season 14, every team that built "Psychoacoustics" into their stadium received a new player called Wyatt Mason, Wyatt Mason II, Wyatt Mason III, Wyatt Mason IV, etc. These players then canceled each other out when they played each other, both turning into "static" and being removed from the game. (It's not clear whether or not this is actually them dying.)

Planet of Steves / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld has a clan of Igors. They're not all named Igor — the women are named Igorina or Igora. There's also an Igor who isn't an Igor at all. But he doesn't count. Lampshaded with Vimes' comment: "Igor and Igor say hi, Igor." And they can tell when you're talking about the wrong Igor. "Not Igor, thur, I'm Igor." Another Discworld example is a short incidental regarding a Klatchian ruler who was cursed by a dyslexic deity so that that everything he touched would turn to Glod. He very quickly found out what happens when a dwarf of indeterminate temper is suddenly dragged away from his home and replicated repeatedly (viz. he becomes a very grumpy dwarf). To this day people living in that city are short of stature and temper. In a sort of low-key Running Gag, Glodson is a common last name for dwarves throughout the series. The Last Hero has the last two Stupid Lizard Men. They're both called Slime, because Stupid Lizard Men aren't able to remember any other name. Another Discworld sort-of example would be the Nac Mac Feegle from The Wee Free Men and sequels — they aren't exactly all named the same thing, but there seems to be a shortage of names such that one character goes by "No'-as-big-as-Medium-Sized-Jock-but-bigger-than-Wee-Jock-Jock." In The World of Poo, Geoffrey visits the Sunshine Sanctuary for Sick Dragons, where both the female caretakers he meets are named Emma. Bit of a Brick Joke, as Vimes referred to the Sanctuary's staff as "Interchangeable Emmas" in previous novels. Ankh-Morpork's underworld is so extensive that getting a unique nickname can be tough. There's already a Big Dave, Fat Dave, Mad Dave, Wee Davey, and Lanky Dai, which is why Hogfather features a criminal who goes by "Medium Dave".

When their memories are restored, they go back to using their real names. Later revisited in the Conclave of the Chosen fight in the Battle of Dazar'alor, where one member of the conclave will periodically wipe some of the raid members' memories and cause them to be renamed Akunda until it wears off or is dispelled.

The second son gets the middle names of both grandfathers, maternal followed by paternal. This is not universal, particularly given that a living grandfather can revoke the patronymic as a form of disowning, and a bad grandfather can be skipped over. Per Word of God emperors routinely violate this rule.

Planet of Steves / int_7832b74c	comment	Steven Universe: The Gems are all named after whatever gem they are. Later episodes reveal that there are actually multiple of each kind on Homeworld, meaning that you have a whole race of Pearls all named Pearl, Rubies named Ruby, etc. They're told apart by codes denoting the cut and facet of their gemstones, but are casually referred to by name. It doesn't help that members of each Gem-race look nearly identical, share the same voice actor, and have the same job, either, due to their Hive Caste System. Of course, the lack of individuality is part of the point. When Peridot first meets Steven, she assumes that Steven is a species name and not a personal moniker, probably building off the above naming system. She even asks him if "Stevens" had replaced humans as Earth's dominant species, meaning she thought Earth literally was a Planet of Steve(n)s! Steven explains humans are still around, and mentions a few of his friends by name, but he didn't technically specify he was a Half-Human Hybrid, so Peridot keeps calling him "the Steven". Much later, it's discovered she also assumed the friends he mentioned were types of humans, not individuals, and wrote such on her reports. So, when Homeworld start abducting more humans for their People Zoo, those are the people they start with.

Almost every person in town is named "Ali", including a woman (She insists it's short for "Alisha") an "Ali Cat", and two camels, which makes locating a missing person named Ali a bit frustrating. Though at the end of the quest the player character figures out that the Ali you were sent to find didn't exist, and it was all a marketing ploy by the quest-giver to drive the gangs out of Pollnivneach.

Planet of Steves / int_8d814070	comment	Played for a laugh in an episode of MASH when Hawkeye, as the camp's Officer of the Day, finds himself up to his neck in locals by the name of Kim Luk: This must be our Kim Luk-y day. Justified in that what was happening was that 4077th (apparently because of regulations or standing orders) required the local population to present an ID to get medical care. The result was that everybody who wanted treatment was showing up with the same ID card that was being passed around, made out to "Kim Luk". Also in M A* S* H, nurses were frequently named Nurse Able or Nurse Baker — regardless of who was playing them. Literally Nurse A or Nurse B in the military code alphabet in use during the Korean War. Even the terrain was subject to this, with the most common location for casualties to be coming from being "Hill 403" (when the location was actually specified). Somewhat justified, given the relatively static front in the later stages of the war.

Planet of Steves / int_976efc02	comment	Mystery Science Theater 3000: Used as a running gag in the episode "Night of the Blood Beast". In the movie, the characters say the name "Steve" a disproportionate number of times,note There are only six human character (and the titular Blood Beast), two of them die, but one gets better, for awhile. Two of them are women. The last two, Steve and Dave, are pretty much interchangeable, and Dave's name is rarely spoken. so Mike and the Bots assume that everyone in the film is named Steve. An example of their riffing: Not helping matters is a scene where a character walks into a room, specifically addresses Steve and the three people on screen turn around. MST3K's later seasons introduced the questionably omniscient, questionably bodiless Observers; each one is Observer. When Servo is invited to join them because he performed well on a standardized test, he has trouble getting used to the naming convention. Another example from MST3K occurs during the viewing of Fugitive Alien, with the name Ken. Within the film, there are genuinely two characters named Ken, and this is lampshaded ("...a young boy, whose name was also Ken.") Joel and the 'bots just decide to pretend that everyone is named Ken. Over the course of the Gamera series, Joel and the 'bots quickly notice that every young boy is named Kenny, but all are implicitly different characters.

This is because her three older sisters had all worked for Miss Lavender before her; the oldest was named Charlotta, and Miss Lavender got in the habit of calling them all by that name. Truth in Television: in Victorian England, for example, many households reused the same name for a succession of servants in the same position because they didn't want to bother remembering their real names. This was apparently also done in some parts of the United States, since Lizzie Borden and her sister tended to call family maid Bridget Sullivan "Maggie" (her predecessor's name), and, as noted in the Real Life section, in many cases done with communal servants such as waiters and (most notoriously) train porters.

John Cleese's character in the Fish Licence sketch owns numerous pets called Eric, and claimed that he was emulating Kemal Ataturk who owned an entire menagerie called Abdul. (The other character in the sketch — the license bureau guy — is also an Eric.) Cleese's character was also called Eric. Eric Praline.

Each of them is known mainly by a model number and nothing else (Six, the Eights, etc). Even when they start to use the names the humans call them, it's still one name per model (the Simons, the Dorals, etc). Two aversions to this are Caprica-Six and Boomer, who are given special names by the other Cylons. Six in general is a partial aversion, as several different copies of her show up with unique names over the course of the show. Fandom is fond of asking the question of whether the Earth the survivors settle on will be known as "the planet of the Eights".

Planet of Steves / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: The former trope title comes from "Starvin' Marvin in Space", which introduced the Marklar. All named Marklar, and they replaced all nouns with Marklar. "Cartman Joins NAMBLA", it is shown that whenever Kenny dies his parents have another child that they also call Kenny, and who ages in record time to match the previous Kenny's age. Later, in "Coon vs Coon & Friends" it is shown that each of these children are the reincarnation of the same Kenny's soul due to his parents once attending meetings of the Cult of Cthulhu. A more subtle example: especially in the early episodes, virtually any minor male character would be named "Kevin." Word of God (specifically Matt Stone) even noted that they would throw it in all the time just because he thinks of it as generic. Also, just about all of the main boys' mothers was named "Carol" at some point before being retconned into the names that stuck. Since Kenny's mother received the least characterization out of the four, she got to keep the name.

Planet of Steves / int_f74b5f80	comment	Babylon 5: There were multiple beings, all appearing alike, that go by the name of "Zathras," but each one is pronounced slightly differently. However, the differences aren't noticeable by the human ear, leading to much confusion for Commander Ivanova. The Vorlon who replaced Kosh claimed that "We are all Kosh," but his name was actually Ulkesh. This may be because the Vorlons break off pieces off themselves and share them with other Vorlons, so that part of Kosh always remains with them. Kosh did the same thing with Sheridan. At one point a character says something like: "Every Vorlon carries a little piece of every other Vorlon," which sort of justifies "We are all Kosh." The CCG managed to swerve around this by spelling the names of all Zathras cards with apostrophes in different places (Z'athras, Za'thras, etc.), except for two (Zathras and Zathras Who Was).

Planet of Steves / int_ff9ab17f	comment	Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager has the Q, who are all named Q. The first Q we met had an affair with Q, and they had a child, Q. This makes for some confusing family trees, as well as a hole in the popular Fanon theory that Trelane, the Squire of Gothos from the original series, is a Q. Justified as the Q are omniscient, so they know who they are talking about. One of the books, features Q, his wife Q, and their son Q. Although to avoid this trope the author referred to Q's wife as "Lady Q," and their son as "q." Q's kid Q at least gets a nickname in the TV show — Qball. Onscreen, Captain Janeway just said Ms. Q when distinction was required. And then the Q who wanted to die was named Quinn when he was granted mortality. It appears that canonically there have only been two actual births of Q: Amanda Rogers (who they no longer speak about) and q. The Star Trek novel Q-Squared explicitly stated that Trelane (and his "mother" and "father" who appeared at the end of the episode) were members of the Q Continuum, so it isn't just Fanon. In the novel, Q implied that Trelane was Q's son, the result of an affair with Trelane's "mother". Then again, the novels aren't canonical. It's implied that "Q" is an alias. Originally, there were supposed to be several different beings assuming an identical appearance and calling themselves by the same name popping in from time to time.
