Prophetic Names	comment	A variety of Meaningful Name, sometimes an offshoot of Theme Naming, but not always. This describes the situation where what one names someone or something results in that something or someone taking on the aspects of what they are named after. Sometimes this is merely intentionally descriptive after the fact, but if not, then circumstances will change to fit them. Sometimes you wonder what the parents were thinking. (Hint: Naming a computer system after a bloodthirsty god or demon is never a good idea. Naming an organization this usually implies premeditation of purpose already.) Genre Blindness prevents anyone from recognizing this and predicting future plot developments. Steven Ulysses Perhero is a subset of this, focused specifically on the tendency for names to relate to super-powers and/or secret identities. This happens in real life more often than you would expect — for example, by the name-letter effect. New Scientist coined and popularised the term "Nominative Determinism" for this. The Romans had their own term: the "nomen omen" (name omen). As some of the examples show, Icarus seems to be an unusually favored name in this regard — perhaps it has something to do with the name itself having a nice ring to it, combined with the built-in allegory about literally flying too close to the sun. See also What Did You Expect When You Named It ____? and Names to Run Away from Really Fast. Contrast Artifact Name, which is reflective of the person, place or thing when it's given, but eventually loses its meaning. Examples

Prophetic Names / int_1567f203	comment	The various members of the student council are named after Kaguya and her suitors from The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Every one of them (sans Kaguya and Fujiwara) is connected in some way to a girl who is named after their counterpart's respective impossible task (who are even known in-universe as the "Impossible Girls"). Iino and her Childhood Friend Osaragi are based off of Ishidzukuri no Miko and the Begging Bowl of the Buddha. In the original story, Ishidzukuri no Miko presented Kaguya-hime with a fake bowl because he couldn't find the real one, much like how her and Iino only became friends because they couldn't get "real" ones. Shirogane and his former student council mate Momo Ryuju are based off of Ootomo no Miyuki and the Pearl from the Dragon's Neck. During the culture festival, Momo helps Shirogane prepare his Grand Romantic Gesture for Kaguya (a giant balloon filled with hundreds of smaller heart shaped balloons) which is disguised as a giant pearl being wrapped by a paper mache dragon. Ishigami and his crush Tsubame are based off of Isonokami no Maro and the Cowry from the Swallow's Nest. In the original story, Isonokami no Maro falls to his death while attempting to get the cowry shell, much like how Ishigami suffers a Staircase Tumble out of despair after Tsubame turns down his Love Confession (only surviving unharmed due to Iino breaking his fall).

Lampshaded in Volume 5 by Raven on Cinder Fall's last name, saying that it's just so appropriate for a Fall Maiden that she suspects Cinder chose it herself. Similarly to Cinder, Ironwood tries to set up circumstances so that Winter will inherit the powers of the Winter Maiden when the current one dies.

Prophetic Names / int_3b34143f	comment	The Harry Potter books by J. K. Rowling feature many names with deliberate meanings on one level or another. A number of websites have sprung up to analyze her naming patterns, like this one. A few examples: Remus Lupin, who is a werewolf. Remus was one of the mythological founders of Rome who was raised by a wolf, and Lupin is similar to lupine, or wolflike. If he were born a werewolf into a family of werewolves this would make perfect sense, but he was a perfectly normal wizard boy until Fenrir (as in the Norse Armageddon wolf) Greyback bit him. Sirius Black has the ability to turn into a black dog. Sirius is the "dog star". Though given Sirius' sense of humor at the time he became an animagus, this might have been intentional on his part. Miserly shop owner Caractacus Burke, who bought a historical relic from a desperate and heavily pregnant young woman for a few coins. Very, very much lampshaded in Cleolinda Jones' Movies in Fifteen Minutes version of Prisoner of Azkaban: Parodied in Sluggy Freelance's book three parody. Obvious names are given to the wrong characters. Eventually lampshaded in canon on Pottermore with Naming Seers, who used to literally go around and hand these out for a price. They've become less prevalent around Harry's generation, as parents started fretting too much over their child's future.

If one translates it to Japanese except the From, which you will remove the other three letters after F then it would read as Setsuna From Seiei. The director said that it represents the moments of revolutions in the long history of mankind, hinting at Setsuna being the true Innovator, the one who is going to bring revolution to mankind. Appropriately, Setsuna evolves into an Innovator during the last few episodes of the series.

The fact that Marduk was also a Sumerian god to whom children were (supposedly) sacrificed is appropriate. Similarly, Rei Ayanami. Rei being a word that can be translated a variety of ways of ways in the Kanji script; most prophetically: 'Spirit' or 'Zero'. Especially since despite Rei's status as an Artificial Human Gendo came up with the name long before the need for her creation and many of the plans relating to it even arose - it was the name he would have given to Shinji if he'd been a girl.

Prophetic Names / int_468bebb0	comment	Discworld: Lords and Ladies: A footnote devotes a section to prophetic names, and describes some of the effects on the Carter family of Lancre: Charity becomes a miser, Chastity a prostitute, Prudence had over a dozen kids. Meanwhile, Bestiality Carter turned out to be kind to animals. Played with in last names, for a group of men with the family names Weaver, Carpenter, Baker, Thatcher, and Tailor. Between them, they cover those same professions as well, but no one's job matches his name (Carter is the town's baker, etc.). There's also Tinker, who actually is a tinker; they probably find this confusing. Thud! has a character whose full, legal name is A.E. Pessimal, described as not having been named, but initialed. Fittingly, he is a government clerk. Small Gods has the anchorite St. Ungulant. Who isn't a saint, nor did he feel particularly attracted to the hermit life, but when people noticed his full name was Sevrian Thaddeus Ungulant, there really was nothing left for it. The additional material in the illustrated edition of The Wee Free Men includes a court transcript that reveals the toad's name, when he was a human, was James Natter. It's not known if anyone called him Jack.

For example, Stargate SG-1's Prometheus brought the power of the Asgard to the humans, and was later destroyed by the more powerful Ori, and Stargate Universe's Project Icarus had hoped to use the Stargate to go where no one had gone before, but ended up dying in a gigantic fireball. You'd think they'd catch on by now. That said, they didn't name it the Prometheus until after they got some Asgard technology to play with, so it was a little less than prophetic, more "appropriate name our classicist scientist came up with"...

Her sisters and brothers are raised to look to her and told "Listen to Eldest, she'll be Mother Eldest one day". It's halfway a title. If the family gets large enough to split, or Eldest dies, the next eldest sister inherits that title, though not the name. Since there are usually quite a few sisters they are often grouped into the eldest sisters, the middle sisters, and the little sisters, and the oldest surviving sister is not necessarily the natural leader, which makes things extra difficult for her.

Every one of them (sans Kaguya and Fujiwara) is connected in some way to a girl who is named after their counterpart's respective impossible task (who are even known in-universe as the "Impossible Girls"). Iino and her Childhood Friend Osaragi are based off of Ishidzukuri no Miko and the Begging Bowl of the Buddha. In the original story, Ishidzukuri no Miko presented Kaguya-hime with a fake bowl because he couldn't find the real one, much like how her and Iino only became friends because they couldn't get "real" ones. Shirogane and his former student council mate Momo Ryuju are based off of Ootomo no Miyuki and the Pearl from the Dragon's Neck. During the culture festival, Momo helps Shirogane prepare his Grand Romantic Gesture for Kaguya (a giant balloon filled with hundreds of smaller heart shaped balloons) which is disguised as a giant pearl being wrapped by a paper mache dragon. Ishigami and his crush Tsubame are based off of Isonokami no Maro and the Cowry from the Swallow's Nest. In the original story, Isonokami no Maro falls to his death while attempting to get the cowry shell, much like how Ishigami suffers a Staircase Tumble out of despair after Tsubame turns down his Love Confession (only surviving unharmed due to Iino breaking his fall). The Mass Media Club president's first name translates to "droplet" and her last name means "morning sun", alluding to how her falling into a swamp marked the start of Kaguya and Shirogane's romance.

Of course, since this is the Asskicking Leads to Leadership Crapsack World of Cradle, many of their most respected members are named after "virtues" such as Pride, Fury, and their matriarch Malice. Outside the head family, getting someone to actually peer into the future is rare, so children are just named after virtues without any actual prophecy attached to them. Overall, everyone agrees that Malice naming her daughter Mercy was even more prophetic than usual. Most of the names have a twist to them; Malice is cruel to her enemies in service of protecting humanity, Fury loves battle but is friendly to everyone, Pride has endless pride in his family but is rather dismissive of his own standing, etc. Mercy, however, is from top to bottom and deep into her very soul just a nice person.

Meanwhile, Bestiality Carter turned out to be kind to animals. Played with in last names, for a group of men with the family names Weaver, Carpenter, Baker, Thatcher, and Tailor. Between them, they cover those same professions as well, but no one's job matches his name (Carter is the town's baker, etc.). There's also Tinker, who actually is a tinker; they probably find this confusing.

Prophetic Names / int_9fa7d06a	comment	Nearly all of the cast of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei and its sequel series have such names. The title character, for example, Itoshiki Nozomu, is an eternally depressed schoolteacher who has a fairly normal sounding name when written vertically, but when written horizontally in kanji, his name spells "despair" (zetsubou). His given name, Nozomu means "hope" (it becomes the "bou" in "zetsubou", which still means "hope" as in "totally without hope"), further cementing the irony. Of note is the fact that most, if not all, members of his family have names of this sort, courtesy of their surname which, when written horizontally and tightly enough that the two characters it is written with to appear to be one character, reverses the meaning of most names written after it ("hope" becomes "despair", "life" becomes "death", and so on).

Sanguinius, Primarch of the Blood Angels (who suffer from a debilitating bloodthirst), Konrad Kurze (had the gift/curse of foresight, eventually turned traitor), Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters, (who are, to a man, Ax-Crazy Berserker Blood Knights with Unstoppable Rage), Mortarion the Primarch of the Death Guard (and its current leader Typhus) devoted to the disease god Nurgle. The Space Wolves in particular stand out: a Guile Hero named Lokas (Loki), Canis Wolfborn (Raised by Wolves)... Kharn the Betrayer (also of the World Eaters) has a multiple one: not only is his name similar to his profession of carnage, it's also similar to the Arabic for traitor (he got the nickname when both his legion and the enemy preferred to find shelter than keep fighting. Kharn found this lack of moral fibre so reprehensible he started running around with a flamer and torching every shelter and Space Marine in sight). Averted with Ciaphas Cain: despite a double dose of Biblical Bad Guy names (the priest who demanded Jesus' death and the first murderer), the worst he's ever done is built a reputation of valor and courage he claims to be entirely fraudulent. However, every time he's taken what looked like the easy way out directly leads to victory (discovering an enemy plot or entrance into the Imperial's base), and when the chips are down he always fights. And he's one of the few straight-up heroes to be found in the 40K 'verse.

The Furies in Greek mythology were winged, monstrous women. Furiae, when placed inside a Seed of Resurrection, becomes exactly this. A thousand times over, in fact. It works even better if you think of the word "Furiae" as a sort of Latinate plural replacement for "Furies." Caim could also count, as his name is a Gaelic pronunciation of Cain, and in any of the story lines you have to fight/kill Inuart. Sure, he's not Caim's brother in the biological sense, but he was one of the few people Caim didn't want to make into a bloody mess, which is saying something.

Lovecraft's version made certain that the physical world and the dream world were separated. The main weapons of the Digimon version, the Yuggoth and Shaggai "programs", are also Lovecraft references, and ironically resulted in the world barrier being weakened. Also, Hikari Yagami of the Digimon Adventure continuity. "Hikari" means "light". Guess who gets the Crest of Light and gets partnered with an angel Digimon.

However, every time he's taken what looked like the easy way out directly leads to victory (discovering an enemy plot or entrance into the Imperial's base), and when the chips are down he always fights. And he's one of the few straight-up heroes to be found in the 40K 'verse.

While this isn't so bad for Chief, Big Ears, or even Complains-of-Names, you have to feel sorry for poor Dies-Horribly. And of course, Young-and-Beautiful got to name herself, even though she... well, isn't. And then you have names where the fortune teller clearly wasn't even trying, such as Go-Away-I-Have-A-Headache and Stop-The-Ceremony-I-Swallowed-A-Bug. Played with in the case of Saves-A-Fox, who decided to Screw Destiny and kill the fox she was prophesied to save. Dies-Horribly later reveals that from her description of the fox, it was probably suffering from an illness that sounds similar to rabies, so in a sense she saved it from a slow and painful death.

He was able to capture and harm said vampire, but was never able to kill him and later stopped trying to. Season 7 of Buffy, a year later, has a man whose actual surname is Wood; if you make the connection, you can guess what he turned out to be. Scott Hope in Season 3 of Buffy. Now, if only his first name were Dash... Spike's name when he was human was William Pratt. "Pratt" = "idiot" in English parlance. Faith. You can take this from several view-points. For instance, her sponsorship by Angel, or (in the comic series) Faith's loyalty to him. After all, Faith manages.

This list doesn't even cover half the examples: Sena Kobayakawa, the puny but swift protagonist, whose speed and ability to dodge opponents makes him a stellar running back. His last name means "small, swift river". Joe Tetsuma, a powerhouse who cuts through the field like a train. His name means "Iron Horse". Kengo Mizumachi, whose style was perfected by his previous experience as a swimming ace, has "Mizu", the Japanese word for water, in his name. Manabu Yukimitsu's name means "To Study." While it is his outstanding trait (that, and going bald in high school), it was probably a deliberate ploy by his mother, who wanted a hard-working, studious son. Hiroshi Ohira and Hiroshi Onishi, the high-wave defence characters from the Poseidons. Their names mean Pacific and Atlantic Ocean, respectively.
