Shout-Out Theme Naming	comment	Some writers, instead of just including the odd Shout-Out, name entire groups of characters after characters in some other work of fiction. Compare Named After Somebody Famous (a Shout-Out to a Real Life person's name), Famous-Named Foreigner (when foreign characters are named after people from their countries) and Character Name Alias (when the name is a fake one used by a character after a real or fictional famous person). Can overlap with Unusual Pop Culture Name when the latter is given to multiple characters. Examples

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_1305c32	comment	Kamen Rider Fourze, being the 40th anniversary of the franchise, names the Kamen Rider Club members after the Seven Legendary Riders: Kengo Utahoshi is an anagram of "Takeshi Hongou", Kamen Rider #1. Shun Daimonji comes from taking Hayato Ichimonji (Kamen Rider #2) and merging the kanji "Ichi" and "To" to create "Dai" ("Shun" is an Alternate Character Reading of "Haya"). Miu Kazashiro is an anagram of "Shirou Kazami", Kamen Rider V3. Yuki Joujima is a play on Jouji Yuki, Riderman. JK takes his name from the initials of Keisuke Jin, Kamen Rider X. His real name, Jingu Kaizo, is Keisuke's surname plus "Kaizorg", the type of Cyborg he is. Tomoko Nozama's surname is "Amazon" backwards; additionally, the "Tomo" kanji in her name means "friend", a word Amazon was quite fond of. Gentaro Kisaragi doesn't quite fit the theme (ironically enough since he's The Hero), though some fans finagle it by pointing out that his name contains the letters that make up "Stronger". This is emphasized by the fact that in Kamen Rider X Kamen Rider Fourze And OOO Movie War Megamax, Gentaro dresses as Stronger as part of the KRC's club presentation. Megamax also introduces a Love Interest for Gentaro named Nadeshiko Misaki, who shares her surname with Yuriko Misaki, Electro-Wave Human Tackle (Stronger's partner and love interest).

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_1bf83ffb	comment	The trend is particularly apparent with the Velvet Siblings, with the ladies all being named after characters from the original novel. Elizabeth from Persona 3 is named after Victor's bride, Margaret from Persona 4 is named after the sister of the arctic explorer Robert Walton, and Caroline and Justine from Persona 5 are respectively named after Victor's mother and the Frankenstein family home's servant. The true form of the latter two when fused together, Lavenza, is also named after Victor's bride, whose maiden name is Elizabeth Lavenza. Theodore from Persona 3 Portable is more obscure; he's most likely named after — given that he's a male replacement for Elizabeth — Theodore Roszak, who authored Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein, but it's possible he's instead named after Theodor von Holst, who did the illustrations for the 1831 edition of Frankenstein.

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_278df229	comment	The Superjail! fanfic Extended Stay does this with the Warden and the Mistress's twins Matilda and Ethan. A review gave the author suggestions that the twins be named after the star-crossed lovers in Ethan Frome. Obviously, the author took the suggestions for the names but then added in "Elizabeth" and "Victor" for their middle names. Hmm... Considering that the twins eventually become owners of Ultraprison and Superjail, almost like coming-of-age monarchs in a kingdom, could it be that they were also named for famous real-life monarchs as well and English monarchs no less? Possibly combined with Named After Somebody Famous. This could possibly be an in-universe example given how close the Warden and the Mistress were to becoming star-crossed lovers themselves. "Elizabeth" could either refer to Henry VIII's daughter, Elizabeth I; the now-deceased mother of Elizabeth II, the former Queen of the United Kingdom from 1952-2022, or the former Queen herself. "Victor" is a masculine form of "Victoria", which was the name of the English queen who reigned from 1837 to 1901. "Elizabeth" and "Victor" most likely came from another pair of lovers, this time from Frankenstein. These are the first names of the infamous Doctor and his wife. His parents raised them as something like adopted siblings with the intention of two marrying each other as adults. Their little brother Edward is probably named after the English king who succeeded Queen Victoria after she died. Either that or he could've been named for King Henry VIII's surviving son.

Cesare is the most obvious, since he's even modeled after his namesake, while the others are Conrad (Conrad Veidt, the actor who played Cesare in the movie), Frances (Francis), and Doctor (Dr. Caligari).

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_30a5ebfd	comment	Naruto: Although it doesn't translate into English very clearly, Kakuzu's signature attacks come from the names of different Zeon mobile suits. Just for starters, his ability to turn into a mass of strings is called "Jiongu" (literally "Earth Grudge Fear"), which is how "Zeong" (a mobile suit which also had arms that could extend outward attached by cords) is pronounced in Japanese. The Fourth Tails' real name is Son Goku. While this can be chalked up to be a reference to Journey to the West instead of Dragon Ball (which itself is a loose adaptation of the novel), his host is also named Roshi. Then there is the Nine Tails' real name, Kurama, which Word of God confirmed is a deliberate homage to YuYu Hakusho.

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_35e05f2a	comment	RWBY: There are extensive theme naming across the entire work. For example, each academy team tends to have a theme around which all the characters are based. To use the main characters as examples: The adults involved in the Big Bad and Big Good's Secret War are associated with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz: Professor Ozpin is the Wizard; Professor Lionheart is the Cowardly Lion; General Ironwood is the Tin Woodsman; Headmaster Theodore is Dorothy; Professor Glynda Goodwitch is Glinda the Goodwitch; Qrow Branwen is the Scarecrow; the Big Bad is the Wicked Witch of the West. Professor Ozpin's original form was actually a male Princess Ozma; his successor, Oscar Pine, is a mixture of both the Wizard and Princess Ozma. Each member of Team RWBY is based on a fairy tale: Ruby Rose is Little Red Riding Hood; Weiss Schnee is Snow White; Blake Belladonna is Beauty and the Beast; Yang Xiao Long is Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The members of Team JNPR are based on famous figures who are associated with opposite-gender identities: Jaune Arc is Joan of Arc; Nora Valkyrie is Thor; Pyrrha Nikos is Achilles; Lie Ren is Mulan. Oscar Pine is an unofficial member from Volume 7, and his Princess Ozma association gives him the appropriate theme due to Princess Ozma spending time disguised as a boy.

It's set in the fictional Prospero Keys, home to a company called Sycorax, with characters named Miranda, Sebastian, Alonso, Iris, Ariel, and even a villain named Mr. Setebos. His Mook is named Callahan, which Word of God confirms is a reference to Caliban. For another Shakespeare reference, there's a street called "Goodfellow Lane."

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_3aeb1c75	comment	Dragon Ball: A very codifying example is the (in)famous Son Goku (or Gokuu); his name is basically the Japanese on'yomi reading of the Chinese name Sun Wukong, even written with the same Asian characters (å« æ‚Ÿç©º). It's almost a wonder why people think of the Saiyan rather than the actual mythological figure himself, aside from the fact that Dragon Ball beat Journey to the West to the punch in being popular as hell in the West back then. This even applies to the Ox King; he too, is named after one of the characters from that very novel in the same on'yomi reading (his Japanese name literally is "Bull Demon King"; read in Chinese as Niumouwang or on'yomi as Gyuumaou). Also applies to the Goku in Saiyuki, though he's much more closely based off of his source material than the above example and also applies to the fellow characters as well. Dragon Ball Z contains a nod to Disney's Cinderella with the ancient mage Bibidi, his doppelgÃ¤nger Babidi, and the demon that they summoned, Majin Buu. ("Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!") Tie-in materials such as Dragon Ball Heroes and Dragon Ball: Fusions add two NPCs named Salaga and Doola, and the ruler of the Demon Realm who is named Mechikabura ("Salagadoola mechicka boola").

Osaragi, Tsubame, and Momo, and Shiranui all reference the gifts sought by Kaguya-hime as part of her impossible tasks to her suitors (each of which has some sort of relationship with the student council members that share their respective suitor's namesake). In Tsubame's case, she becomes part of the ongoing saga of "Kaguya Shinomiya's Impossible Requests", and it's later revealed that the four of them are referred to as the "Impossible Girls" deliberately invoking the theme. Mikado Shijo (Maki's twin brother) references the the emperor who tries to marry Kaguya-hime. Ootomo also references one of the suitors, interestingly the same one as Shirogane's. Kaguya's mother is named Nayotake (Supple Bamboo), meaning that Kaguya was metaphorically born from bamboo, just like her literary counterpart. Everyone in Fujiwara's family was named after plants in some manner, as her counterpart was tasked with finding a special branch.

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_8ee238c9	comment	The inhabitants of the Velvet Room from the Persona series have, of all things, theme naming based on Frankenstein: Igor is named for the hunchbacked assistant that became associated with the Frankenstein mythos after Fritz in the first Universal film — the name "Igor" probably originally came from the non-hunch-backed assistant from House of Wax (1953) or a conflation of Fritz with Ygor from the Universal films, and was codified as an element of Frankenstein in Young Frankenstein. In the first two games, Nameless is "named" after the monster, and there's also a case to be made for the Demon Artist, though the latter is more of a title than a name. The Odd Name Out is Belladonna — although visually modeled on the Bride from the film Bride of Frankenstein, her name is original. The trend is particularly apparent with the Velvet Siblings, with the ladies all being named after characters from the original novel. Elizabeth from Persona 3 is named after Victor's bride, Margaret from Persona 4 is named after the sister of the arctic explorer Robert Walton, and Caroline and Justine from Persona 5 are respectively named after Victor's mother and the Frankenstein family home's servant. The true form of the latter two when fused together, Lavenza, is also named after Victor's bride, whose maiden name is Elizabeth Lavenza. Theodore from Persona 3 Portable is more obscure; he's most likely named after — given that he's a male replacement for Elizabeth — Theodore Roszak, who authored Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein, but it's possible he's instead named after Theodor von Holst, who did the illustrations for the 1831 edition of Frankenstein. Marie from Persona 4 Golden, yet another Velvet Room attendant, is most likely named for author Mary Shelley. In Persona 5, most of the protagonists' Personas are named after various folk heroes and thieves from literature (Arsene, Goemon, Zorro, etc.).

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_a3bd3918	comment	BIGTOP BURGER: The employees of the titular food truck business have names relating to Stephen King's It: Penny (Pennywise, the novel's Monster Clown), Billie (Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd, who played Pennywise in the 2017 film adaptation), Tim (Tim Curry, who played Pennywise in the 1990 miniseries), and Steve (Stephen King). Their rival crew, the Zomburger employees, are all named after characters from The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Cesare is the most obvious, since he's even modeled after his namesake, while the others are Conrad (Conrad Veidt, the actor who played Cesare in the movie), Frances (Francis), and Doctor (Dr. Caligari). The episode "Backpack" reveals an extra layer to the theming: Frances reveals that Doctor's actual name is "Allen", which is named after Alan, the name of the film's protagonist's best friend/love rival.

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_a81325d3	comment	Final Fantasy: Many games contain Those Two Guys Biggs and Wedge. Just some of their appearances: Two Gestahlian Mauve Shirt soldiers in Final Fantasy VI. Two members of the ecoterrorist group AVALANCHE in Final Fantasy VII. A pair of Galbadian soldiers, a barking superior and a long-suffering underling, in Final Fantasy VIII. A Roegadyn engineer and his Lalafell partner in Final Fantasy XIV. The four elemental fiends in Final Fantasy IV were originally named for demons from Dante's Inferno — Scarmiglione, Cagnazzo, Barbariccia, and Rubicante. Character Name Limits caused their names to get changed in the English translation, to Milon, Kainazzo, Valvalis, and Rubicant, respectively. All four are also corrected in the official GBA re-release. For some reason, the fighters on each level of the pagoda of the Five Mighty Gods in Wutai in Final Fantasy VII have names to do with (mainly Russian) drama: Gorky, Staniv (Stanislavsky), Shake (Shakespeare), Chekhovs and Godo (Godot, as in Waiting for Godot). Final Fantasy VIII takes the Star Wars theme naming a step further: in addition to Biggs and Wedge, there is a later supporting character named Piet (as in "You are in command now, Admiral Piett") and in the original Japanese, the Headmaster of Galbadia Garden is named Dodonna.

Shout-Out Theme Naming / int_b0028436	comment	In the earlier story arcs of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, nearly all characters' names were shout-outs to non-Japanese music, with characters named Zeppeli, Robert E.O. Speedwagon, Tonpetty, Wamuu, Kars, Captain Tennille, Steely Dan, and Vanilla Ice, just to name a few. In subsequent story arcs, the Stands are given musically themed names instead such as Killer Queen, Sex Pistols, Spice Girl, KISS, Limp Bizkit, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, and Born This Way. Stone Ocean goes back to theme-naming characters themselves, with a great deal of its cast named after fashion labels and designers. Examples: Ermes Costello (HermÃ¨s), Thunder McQueen (Alexander McQueen), Donatello Versus (Donatella Versace and Versus, a Versace brand). Steel Ball Run returns to musically-themed characters names as well as Stands, with names like Gyro Zeppeli, Funny Valentine, and Pork Pie Hat Kid, plus Stand names like Ticket to Ride and 20th Century Boy. The Golden Wind novella Purple Haze Feedback leans heavily on protagonist Pannacotta Fugo's Stand being named Purple Haze, and names all new Stands in the book after other Jimi Hendrix songs such as Voodoo Child, All Along the Watchtower, and Manic Depression. The dubiously canon Jorge Joestar has Stands (and various new Stand-like abilities) named after non-Japanese films and television including U-Boat, NYPD Blue, Dune, Singin' in the Rain, and Videodrome.

Another set is Mario, Peach, Luigi, Kinopio (=Toad) and Yoshi. Yet another references the Japanese boy band SMAP. The lead twins of Mother 3 were named after the lead twins of a book called The Notebook. Both stories are about horrible things happening to little boys.
