A neat way to make a character's name memorable is to make them follow a rhyming scheme, either by giving them rhyming first and last names (e.g. Jack Black) or combining their names with a rhyming descriptor (e.g. Dennis The Menace). As an added bonus, the character might also speak in Rhymes on a Dime and/or live in a place that follows a similar rhyming convention. Because it lends the characters an air of whimsy, this trope is particularly common in nursery rhymes, children's books, and cartoons, but they are definitely not limited to them. Compare Repetitive Name, where the character's first name is the same as their last name or uses variations of the same word. Also compare Alliterative Name, which is another method of making a character's name catchy or memorable. Compare also Rhyme Theme Naming, where different members of the same group or family are given rhyming names to emphasize their unity. May overlap with Rhyming Title if the character's name is also used as the work's title. |

The title character of Black Jack is a Back-Alley Doctor who uses the catchy name as his alias. Funnily, this rhyming name is a loose transliteration of his actual name ("Kuro'o", which is written with the characters for "black" and "man", aka "jack"). | |

BoJack Horseman has a few among its peripheral characters. Courtney Portnoy, celebrity actress. When her name comes up in conversation, assonance and rhyme are comically Exaggerated; as her purported supporters exhort Courtney's tour-de-force performance their wording sort of contorts. Tom Jumbo-Grumbo, news anchorman. Neal McBeal the Navy SEAL. |

One of the teachers in GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class is named Koshino Yoshino. She teaches fashion design, and because her subject is an elective, she doesn't get as much screen time as the other teachers, but she certainly makes the most impression to her students. | |

Juna's full name is Arjuna Renjana. Given it's a name he (actual full name: Junedi) makes up, it's likely that he intentionally makes it rhyme to make it cooler. |
