Formerly known as "Renamed the Same". So, Alice and Bob are having a discussion about what Bob's new name will be, since he's grown tired of it. He contemplates for a long time, then eventually figures out the perfect name that'd suit him perfectly. Bob renames himself Robert.note "Bob" is a pet name version of "Robert". Naturally, Alice is confused by this. The new name is nearly identical to his old name. Nonetheless, he sticks to his "new" name, despite it barely being different at all. This trope is often times Played for Laughs. Where there would originally be a Meaningful Rename, the character's new name is basically what they always had before. Usually, there is a reaction from others as to the pointlessness of the new name. Compare This Is My Name on Foreign, which may even be this if the foreign name is similar enough, like Robert becoming Roberto. In games with a character with Hello, [Insert Name Here] and Canon Name, depending on the context, you may rename the character exactly as their canon name would be. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Three days worth of Webcomic Time go by between the moment the crew rescues a kitten and the moment they decide to choose a name for her. In the meantime, everyone was calling her either "kitty" or "kitten". Everyone realizes this while trying to find an actual name for her and settles for just giving her the name they have been calling her all along. This actually got pointed out in the author notes: | |

In He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2021), Duncan unintentionally installs the memories of Orko the Great into an RK Security Unit, making it believe it was Orko the Great. After eventually discovering and accepting that he's not the true Orko, he rechristens himself Ork-0, taking his RK qualification in mind. Despite his name being pronounced exactly the same, he insists that they're pronounced different. | |

His friend Katy notes it's no wonder he got caught with such a lazy name change, comparing it to someone named "Gina" going into hiding as "Gyna." | |

In Final Fantasy XIV during the Heavensward expansion, a group of extraplanar antagonists known as the Warriors Of Darkness appears to have the same naming scheme as their equivalent Standard Fantasy Races, until the Shadowbringers expansion revisits them and reveals those names to be pseudonyms, albeit pseudonyms that sound phonetically similar to their true names. The only true example in-group is the elf magus Nyelbert, who took the identically pronounced "Naillebert", though Ardbert/Arbert is almost the same as well, a fact he comments on. | |

In the English translation of the Pokémon Adventures manga, Yellow attempts to go under the fake name of "Amarillo del Bosque Verde". Nobody is fooled, as they figure out that that's Spanish for "Yellow of the Viridian Forest". (In the original Japanese, she didn't even try any aliases.) | |

In Final Fantasy IX there's a scene in which Garnet changes her name to an alias, which she takes from Zidane's dagger, but then a naming screen pops up prompting the player to enter whatever they'd like if "Dagger" doesn't sound good enough. You're free to rename her "Garnet", which will render the whole scene rather pointless. | |

In one host segment of Mystery Science Theater 3000, Tom Servo changes his last name to Serveaux. It's pronounced exactly the same, but Tom thinks he can tell when people aren't pronouncing it right. Crow mocks him by saying he's going to change his name to "Crüe". Also subverted in the same episode when Tom adds an H to his first name; Mike thinks it's "Thom" and said the same, but Servo insists it's "Htom" (pronounced "huh-Tom"). | |

In Men at Arms, Cheery Littlebottom changes the spelling of her name to "Cheri" after defying dwarf tradition to "come out" as a female. Angua suggests she could pronounce it "Sherie" as well. It gets lampshaded; Angua also points out that the way people spell in Ankh-Morpork no-one will notice unless she tells them, and the narration says that when you've decided to shout who you are to the world, it's a relief to know you can do it in a whisper. | |

The Bible: Abram (Hebrew, exalted father) is renamed Abraham (Hebrew, father of many nations) by God. His wife/half-sister, Sarai, is renamed Sarah (both translate as princess) Post-conversion Saul renames himself Paul, which is just the Latin version of the Hebrew name. Somewhat downplayed, in that the name itself never undergoes an actual change, but rather the audience does; as Saul's letters proceed to various church groups, the church has spread to Gentiles who would use the Latin version instead of the Hebrew version the primarily-Jewish audiences from earlier on would have used. |

You're free to rename her "Garnet", which will render the whole scene rather pointless. Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII changed her name to her current one after she lost her parents so that she can be strong. In the Japanese version, her birth name was Eclair, which is French for "lightning". Averted in the English translation, which anagrams the Japanese name to get "Claire". |

Malazan Book of the Fallen: A play on this can be found when Fiddler renames himself Strings to go incognito in House of Chains. It does not sound the same, but the meaning remains, essentially, and nobody who's ever even heard of Fiddler is fooled. This also unintentionally happens with Whiskeyjack, with some help from the Anibar and Funetik Aksent. In The Bonehunters, Boatfinder tells of how someone named Iskar Jarak, also called the Iron Prophet, came to the lands of the Anibar with a hundred dark warriors and warned them of those who will come after him. It was Whiskeyjack and his Bridgeburners. After his death and ascension — influenced by the Anibar's worship of him — he takes on the name of Iskar Jarak, which is simply Whiskeyjack spelled phonetically. |

One of the ways JoJo's Bizarre Adventure sets apart the Part 1 and Part 3 versions of Dio Brando is by referring to the former as Dio Brando (written normally and using his full name) and to the latter as DIO (in all caps and excluding his family name). | |

On South Park, Christopher Reeve manages to get his mobility back by sucking the stem cells out of fetuses, but becomes increasingly crazy and supervillainous in the process. Eventually, he declares that he won't be called Christopher anymore, since that's the name he used when he was weak and disabled. From now on he will be...Chris. | |

In The Importance of Being Earnest Jack, an adopted man, refers to himself as Ernest when in town. His love interest feels she can only marry a man named Ernest and her mother will only allow her to marry a man with a strong family social standing (which being adopted, Jack does not). After some misunderstandings and hilarity, the mystery of Jack's parentage is solved; as first-born, he would be named after his father, who turned out to have been named Ernest. | |

In an episode of Family Guy, Peter Griffin has to give an alias, so he makes up a Line-of-Sight Name. Owing to a bizarre and improbable selection of objects within his line of sight (a pea, a tear, and a griffon), his alias winds up being "Peter Griffin". | |

Lightning from Final Fantasy XIII changed her name to her current one after she lost her parents so that she can be strong. In the Japanese version, her birth name was Eclair, which is French for "lightning". Averted in the English translation, which anagrams the Japanese name to get "Claire". | |

In Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, every character, besides the main character, takes on a numerical code name to hide their true identity. It later turns out that Clover actually used their real name as their code name, since it fits with the numerical system. | |
