Whether it be due to gender bending or crossdressing, a character will tend to keep their name intact. Seriously, if you suddenly became the opposite gender, you probably wouldn't want to have to remember an entirely different name on top of everything else that you'd be dealing with. There will often be more than one way to genderbend a character's name. For instance, let's say we have this excellent character named "Jack", and one day he gets zapped with a lovely genderbend raygun. His feminized name could be "Jackie" or "Jacqueline", either one would be fine. In Japanese media, Alternate Character Reading is often used to create a name that sounds different, but is ultimately written the same as the original. When fans genderbend a character, it can often be the cause of a fandom war over what the appropriate name would be. In the case where the character in question already has a gender-neutral name, such as "Cameron" or "Jamie", the name is rarely modified. This can be Truth in Television for transgender people and crossdressers. However, it's much less common than this trope would have you believe (especially in the former case, since a trans person's deadname is often tied to a gender they don't feel comfortable with, and even variations can trigger dysphorianote as well as make it easy for people to accidentally say or read the wrong name, or "forget"). It's more common for a trans person to switch to a gender-neutral nickname before they can safely come out. A gender fluid person (someone whose identity moves between two or more points) might also use different names which invoke this trope (whether or not there's any connection to their deadname). See also Lazily Gender-Flipped Name. Contrast with Gender-Blender Name. |

In Clone High the Joan of Arc clone disguises herself as "John Dark" ("Jeanne d'Arc") to join the hoops team, to give them a fighting chance against their rivals. The whole thing backfires when Abe hates John, and so in respect of Abe, "he" keeps passing the ball to him, even though "he" could probably score "himself"; so they end up being pummeled again, and don't even score until the last second of the game... which fortunately helps the principal win a bet. | |

Both subverted and played straight in Ranma ½: In a subversion, the titular character reveals his female form in front of the school for the first time by blithely introduces "herself" as "Ranma". Even though Akane is worried that his Gender Bender secret might be exposed at first, the other students dismiss this as a coincidence. (Note that in the manga, it barely mattered, as Ranma's secret getting out a short time later is a non-issue.) When hiding from his mother Nodoka, Ranma stays in female form, pretending to be the Tend� sisters' cousin "Ranko". |

Once on That '70s Show, Hyde mocks Foreman by calling him "Erica." Kelso laughs, says that he's glad that you can't do that to "Michael," only for Hyde to dryly call him "Michelle." They then try to come up with a comeback for him ("Hyde-o...lina?") before Hyde gets annoyed and snaps "It's 'Heidi!'"note His first name is actually Stephen, but for some reason nobody thinks to call him "Stephanie." | |

The Simpsons: In a Season 4-episode (which came out back in the early-1990s), Homer mentions having a cousin "Frank" who became "Francine" in 1976. Homer then adds that his cousin eventually joined a cult and renamed herself "Mother Shabooboo." According to the episode "Holidays of Future Passed", Martin Prince will change their name to "Marsha Princess" as an adult. A future episode retcons that though. |

In Ozma of Oz, Dorothy's pet chicken was originally named "Bill" by her original owner because he thought she was male until she laid an egg. Then Dorothy renamed her, "Billina".note Once they enter the regions about Oz, Billina becomes a talking hen, and is one of the characters in the story. Dorothy even mentions that putting "-ina" at the end makes it a girl's name. | |

A meta example occurred in development for Avatar: The Last Airbender. Azula was originally written as Zuko's little brother "Azul" before being changed to a girl. This change in gender ultimately caused her role to be increased (the early series bible only briefly makes reference to Azula's brother, implying he was a bit role) and is related to Mai and Ty Lee being created. | |

Steven Universe: Played With in "Hit the Diamond". When the Crystal Gems are pretending to be humans to trick the Ruby Squad, Pearl claims to be "Earl". Obviously "Pearl" is an acceptable human name, too, but they need something that doesn't sound like a Gem name. She wasn't necessarily pretending to be male, though Rubies are so gullible and ignorant of humans, she could do so easily. (Lapis, meanwhile, calls herself "Bob".) | |

Shaun is a trans boy, and his deadname (as seen in the chapter in which he comes out and changes his name) is Sarah. Frufru is pregnant and planning to name her new child after DW because DW helped her dead child Nadine in her last days; the new baby is a boy so she's naming him Dorian instead of Dora. Averted with Double Trouble, who goes from Lucien to Bex, Mr Baldwin, who goes from Pearl to Gil, and Riley and Lynn Junior, who already have neutral names and don't change them. |

Lori becomes "Loki", Leni becomes "Loni", Luna becomes "Luke", Luan becomes "Lane", Lucy becomes "Lars", Lana becomes "Leif", Lola becomes "Lexx", Lisa becomes "Levi", and Lily becomes "Leon". The only brother whose name remains the same from his correspondent sister is Lynn, due to her Gender-Blender Name (she's named after her father). Lincoln's female version is named "Linka". The script sheet shows that Bobby's female version (who's never seen nor mentioned at any point in the episode) is named "Bebe". |

Tunnel in the Sky features an example where "Jacqueline Marie Daudet" is mistaken for a young boy (in part due to constantly wearing body armor) by a boy during an advanced survival test on a faraway planet. She continues to pretend that she's "Jack Daudet" for weeks, including through some sexist commentary by her survival partner, until the beans are spilled by someone the two of them rescue. For 1955, the premise that girls could do things just as well as men could was pretty advanced. | |

Archie Comics: In a 1960s issue we are shown what it could be like if Archie and the others switched genders. Archie is called "Archigail", Reggie is "Regina", "Betty" is "Buddy", and "Veronica" is "Roddy". "The Great Switcheroo" issue involved Salem making everyone change sexes. This trope is epidemic. We get "Archie" to "Archina", "Reggie" to "Regina", "Betty" as "Billy", and "Veronica" as "Ron". Several minor characters also get the same treatment. Jughead is the only real exception as his female counterpart goes by "J.J". |

In addition to Fate/Grand Order continuing the franchise's long-standing tradition (see the Visual Novels example below) of male historical and/or legendary figures being female in the game, there's also Leonardo da Vinci, who even in the Fate-verse's alternate universe was a man...but chose to be summoned as a woman (resembling his most famous creation, the Mona Lisa) when he became a Heroic Spirit. But as a woman, she still goes by "Leonardo". | |

To Love Ru: Subverted by Ren (male) and Run (female): they're an alien whose species changes sex when they sneeze, but each is mentally distinct from the other and they eventually physically split during puberty. The similarity in names is thus more accurately described as Theme Twin Naming. The main character, Rito Yuuki, has been turned female several times. The first time, he ends up the house-guest of a classmate who dislikes his regular identity, so he makes up the name "Riko" on the spot. The next time, Lala makes Rito-as-a-girl go on a date with his friend that fell in love with "her", and Rito extends the name to "Riko Yuusaki"—though Lala claims Riko is Rito's relative, making the different surname unnecessary. Basically everyone else who's seen Rito as a girl knows his real identity, so they've only called him "Riko" a few times to tease him. |

My Story Animated: ''I Realised I Wasn’t Trans After Transitioning'' is about a genderfluid person. Their parents gave them the name "Oliver" but as a child, they transitioned into living as a girl named "Olivia". At age eighteen, they realized they were genderfluid instead of a trans woman. Now they live as "Olive" but use "Olivia" on female days and "Oliver" on male days. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic is heavy on the Theme Naming and thus the fanon names for the gender-bent Mane Six are mostly masculine versions of their names. Some people do use other names, but usually fan-artists and fanfic writers keep to certain names: Applejack keeps his name because it's unisex enough. Rainbow Dash becomes Rainbow Blitz, Twilight Sparkle becomes Dusk Shine, Rarity becomes Elusive, Fluttershy becomes Butterscotch, and Pinkie Pie becomes Bubble Berry (or occasionally Berry Bubble). Other common names include Spike becoming either Barbara or Spine(s), Celestia becoming Solaris, Luna becoming Artemis, Discord becoming Eris, Cadance becoming Bolero, and Shining Armor becoming Gleaming Shield. The fanfic On a Cross and Arrow is the reason most of the names are popular. | |

Wandering Son: Transgender Cool Big Sis Yuki's birth name is "Hiroyuki". Makoto requests for Nitori to refer to her as "Mako-chan" not soon after they begin being friends. Nitori herself may subvert this. Her given name is "Shuuichi" and in middle school, she wanted to swap names with Takatsuki, who is "Yoshino", but that never happened. When she begins working at a gay bar the owner gives her the name "Lilly" but we don't know if this is her chosen name or not. Mako refers to Nitori by the feminine nickname "Nitorin". |

"The Great Switcheroo" issue involved Salem making everyone change sexes. This trope is epidemic. We get "Archie" to "Archina", "Reggie" to "Regina", "Betty" as "Billy", and "Veronica" as "Ron". Several minor characters also get the same treatment. Jughead is the only real exception as his female counterpart goes by "J.J". | |

A novelization of Sabrina the Teenage Witch has her going back in time to Elizabethan days and casting a spell to disguise herself as an actor from then. As the actors of the day were all men, Sabrina is turned into a boy and she gives her name as Samuel. (When she changes herself to a boy in the sitcom, she subverts the trope by calling herself Jack.) | |
