A Sub-Trope of Meaningful Name, this is when the birth name of a character matches up with the powers they get or the role they take later in life.
Usually, their real name can be shortened or scrambled into their Code Name, but sometimes it's more a thematic link.
For anime heroes, if a character has an element somewhere in their name, they will almost always use that element in battle when they grow up. Hikari/Hikaru, meaning "light/shining", is especially prophetic.
Most common in Silver Age comics, although it still shows up from time to time.
A reverse of the real-life background of Luke Nounverber and they may overlap, providing a justification in the form of a family business. Sometimes the naming draws upon a Bilingual Bonus.
With villains, this trope frequently coincides with Idiosyncrazy. Prophetic Names is the more general case, where names reflect a character's status, abilities, personality, or other features. A character who just never bothers with a pseudonym has a Secret Public Identity. See also Sue Donym for real people who do this. Compare Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance, which is when the appearance rather than the name is meaningful. Also compare with Epunymous Title, when the title of a series uses a character's name as basis to compare with the series' premise. Often overlaps with Punny Name.
A magic-specific subtrope is Magnus Means Mage, where mages, wizards or sorcerers have a tendency to be named Magnus.
In real life, someone having a name which is particularly well-suited for their work is known as an aptonym, aptronym, or euonym.
For those who don't understand the title: look at the first two initials.

Sleepless Domain: Very prominent.
Among the main characters, Alchemical Water, who controls water, is named Undine Wells; Heartful Punch is named Kokoro Aichi, Kokoro being Japanese for "heart" and "ai" being "love". Alchemical Ether, Tessa Quinn, has a surname derived from quintessence, the element of Aether in classical philosophy.
The rest of Team Alchemical follows the same elemental naming pattern as Undine. Alchemical Earth is Gwen Morita; Gwen is derived from "gnome", while Morita is a Japanese surname made of the characters for "forest" and "rice field" in that order. Alchemical Air is Sylvia Skylark; Sylvia is derived from "sylph", while a skylark is a type of bird whose name additionally contains the word "sky". Alchemical Fire is Sally Fintan; Sally is derived from "salamander", while Fintan is an Irish name that can mean "white fire".
Other characters include Bud/Laser Thrash, who can summon floating flower buds; Zoe Blecher, derived from Greek word for "life" and an archaic name for tinsmiths, who can create metallic plants; Moonlight Spear/Mitsuki Watanabe, whose first name roughly translates to as "moonlight"; and Starlight Spear/Mingxing Guan, whose first name literally means "star/celebrity" but whose characters separately mean "bright" (ming) and "star" (xing).

Wonder Woman (1942):
In the very first issue our titular heroine met a circus trapeze performer named Dom Carney.
Tigra Tropica is apparently the actual name of a tiger taming villain.
Hypnota is the actual name (probably chosen themselves when they started performing) of the magician who ended up gaining the power of "hypnotic rays".

British serial comics do this a lot. Some of the more subversive examples are from the anti-comic Viz, where characters like Johnny Fartpants (there's always a commotion in his underpants!") rub pages with super-humans like Buster Gonad, a youth who in early adolescence was hit in the testicles by a radioactive meteorite, thus forcing his testes to expand to an unfeasibly large size. This spoofs more mainstream children' comics which have less outrageous characters with more anodyne superpowers.

Xavier himself, leader of the X-Men (supposedly named for the "X-factor" mutant gene, not Charles' initial, so it counts). His secret super-hero codename is "Professor X" (no one would ever suspect they were the same guy). Also relates to the similarly-pronounced "savior," as this man has proven to be for generations of mutants. This was played with by Neil Gaiman in his Marvel 1602 miniseries: "Xavier" became "Javier" and "X" became what the "witchbreed" were branded with when they were persecuted. And in the first-ever issue of X-Men, Xavier explained that he named his protege the X-Men because their mutations gave them an eXtra power. (It was The Silver Age of Comic Books. That's just how things were then.)

A Certain Magical Index has Touma Kamijou, whose name can also be pronounced as "The One Who Purifies Gods and Slays Demons" or "Invisible Demon Above God". He manages to talk a Physical God into a Heel–Face Turn, and other gods want him to serve a similar role for them. It's claimed that his power was originally a weapon meant to drive back demons. Finally, his body contains an entity that's described as being invisible and is seemingly more powerful than God.

The main characters in Magic Knight Rayearth and Sailor Moon both have the relevant elements in their names. Sailor Uranus, Neptune and Pluto go a step further: their family names are the names of their planets in Japanese (minus the suffix "-sei"). The Inner Senshi (except Venus, who was created earlier for Codename: Sailor V) have their elements in their surnames minus the "-sei."
Sailor Venus's name doesn't contain "gold/metal," the Chinese element that the planet Venus is named after in Japanese, but she does have love, which is the subject matter that the goddess Venus rules over.
Bilingual Bonus in Magic Knight Rayearth. In the Japanese version (of the manga) it's mentioned "Shidou Hikaru" means 'Shine on the Road' as a significant name. While in the English version they use "Rayearth", Hikaru's mecha/monster/familar as the significant name with the same meaning.

Redwall does it a lot, though Brian Jacques often draws on Old English so it's not so noticeable. On one occasion he actually did it unintentionally: in The Bellmaker a character who is imprisoned in his own castle is named Gael, which is very similar to "gaol", the Old English word for jail.

Like in the page quote and the comic example, Spider-Man: No Way Home has another example with Doctor Octopus as he introduces himself to Peter, MJ and Ned. And as with the Infinity War joke, the kids laugh at his name while asking to know what it really is. It's justified in this case as MCU Spider-Man hasn't encountered any supervilains with ironically Prophetic Names up until this point.

Gotham had appearances by several of the villains mentioned in the Batman Comic Book section above, and also The Dollmaker, who in this version of the story is Doctor Dulmacher, one of several examples in this show of a German(ish) surname becoming anglicized (Fries, Kappelput).

There is a comedian, probably most famous for appearing on both versions of Whose Line Is It Anyway?, called Colin Mochrie — pronounced "Mockery". There's also his daughter, Kinley Mochrie, who did humorous movie reviews for Channel Awesome.

Heroes:
One of the eponymous heroes is a Japanese man named Hiro. Supposedly named after Hiroshima, which was destroyed by a nuclear explosion, and his mission in Season 1 to stop New York from being destroyed by a nuclear explosion. Lampshaded by Hiro's friend, who ironically calls him "Super-Hiro".
A new villain is named Echo DeMille. And his power is shouting.
HRG: After spending most of the beginning of the series collecting people with abilities, we find out in the first season finale that his first name is Noah.
Lydia, the girl in Volume 5 whose powers are triggered when Samuel Sulivan alters her tattoos. Lydia The Tattooed Lady? Although since she's a carny, that probably isn't her real name.

Wile E. Coyote from Looney Tunes was only called that in four of his appearances with Bugs Bunny. By default, it's how he identifies in most other Warner Bros. media even with the Road Runner (the Gold Key Road Runner comic book billed him on the cover as "Wile E. Coyote, world's greatest loser").

In Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki's name references both the Naruto whirlpools (Naruto no Uzushio, Uzumaki is a different word for whirlpool) and Narutomaki, a type of fishcake decorated with spirals (which themselves reference said whirlpools) usually found in Ramen, the character's favorite dish. His trademark move is the Rasengan, a ball of spiraling chakra and air. You might think that this was intentional in-universe, since his mother came from the Land of Whirlpools and his father invented the Rasengan, so whirlpools and spirals were thematically relevant to the entire family. Except that they actually named him after a character from their mentor Jiraiya's first novel. However, the character from Jiraiya's first novel WAS named after the fishcake in the ramen he was eating at the time.

In Sinnoh, there's the poorly disguised Roark (Rock-type); Gardenia (Grass-type), also a kind of flower; a Fighting-type melee with Maylene; the Water-type using Crasher Wake (though given his Masked Wrestler persona that might be a pseudonym); Fantina uses Ghost-type; Byron, Steel-type; there's the Ice-using Candice; and there's Volkner too, he's a real shocker. For the Elite Four there's Bertha who is a Ground-type (earth) user; Lucian's Psychics may use confusing illusions or cause hallucination; Flint, a Fire-type user is the most obvious one in Elite Four of Sinnoh. Platinum reveals that Flint only chose to train Fire types after learning a flint is something used to spark fires.

RWBY:
Ruby Rose has the ability to burst into rose petals, allowing her to move at superhuman speeds.
Winter Schnee can use her family's inherited Semblance, which includes the ability to produce ice avatars of any Grimm foes she's felled in battle that helped contribute to her growth as a person. At the end of Volume 8, a dying Penny chooses Winter to inherit the Maiden powers, preventing Cinder from obtaining them and resulting in Winter becoming... the Winter Maiden.
Cinder Fall has the ability to superheat objects at will, and becomes the Fall Maiden.
Subverted in Volume 5. We're led to believe that Vernal is the Spring Maiden, but in reality, she's a mere decoy. The true Maiden is Raven Branwen.
Twins Raven and Qrow Branwen have the ability to turn into a raven and a crow, respectively. May be an Invoked Trope, as they were magically granted this power by Ozpin, and it's unclear if their Punny Names played a part in this.
Of the Ace Ops in Volumes 7&8, Clover has the Semblance of good fortune, while Elm can root herself to the ground, and her partner Vine can generate vine-like aura appendages from his arms and legs.
Played for Laughs with a shady man who is revealed in the credits to be named Shay D. Mann.

Wonder Woman:
Angle Man, a rogue who can warp space into an Escheresque nightmare with the use of his mysterious impossible triangle Angler device, was born Angelo Bend.
Silver Age villain Time Master (not to be confused with Rip Hunter) has the real name Ty M. Master.
Byrna Brilyant is a Mad Scientist usually capable of challenging Wonder Woman herself with her tech.
Wonder Woman (1942):
In the very first issue our titular heroine met a circus trapeze performer named Dom Carney.
Tigra Tropica is apparently the actual name of a tiger taming villain.
Hypnota is the actual name (probably chosen themselves when they started performing) of the magician who ended up gaining the power of "hypnotic rays".
Wonder Woman (Rebirth): Peony McGill has Green Thumb powers.
In Wonder Woman and the Star Riders evidently all the Star Riders besides Diana herself (Dolphine, Ice, Star Lily and Solara) are either using their real names or variations of them for their hero names. Early developmental art has their names Tori, Nena, Delia and Sima but none of this made it to the only bit produced.

Every villain in Captain Planet and the Planeteers was destined to be a villain, just look at the names: Hoggish Greedly (he looks like a hog and is greedy), Verminous Skumm (he's a rat and a scum), Duke Nukem (he's a nuclear mutant), Dr. Blight (a Mad Scientist), Looten Plunder (get it? like in loot and plunder), etc. And all of them seem to be their birth names... they never had a chance.

The Harry Potter books are chock-full of these, with every name having some sort of meaning to it.
Nearly all the background professors (and textbook writers)'s names are related to their chosen fields: Professor Flitwick is an expert on wand movements (such as "swish and flick"), Professor Babbling teaches an ancient language, Professor Septima Vector teaches arithmancy, Professor Sprout teaches herbology, etc.
Lord Voldemort's birth name is Tom Marvolo Riddle, which anagrams to "I am Lord Voldemort." In-story, the anagram is actually where he got the name from. "Vol de mort" also means "flight from death" or "theft from death" in French, which is fitting, since Voldemort's ultimate goal is to escape death and become immortal.
Remus Lupin. "Lupus" is Latin for "wolf", and "Remus" is the name of one of the mythical founders of Rome, who was raised by a wolf. Remus Lupin turns out to be a werewolf. One wonders why his wizard parents would give him a name like that, given that it was practically begging for him to get bitten by a werewolf.
Fenrir Greyback. "Fenrir" is a monstrous wolf in Norse mythology. Then again, he may have chosen that name for himself, given how much he enjoys being a werewolf.
Sirius Black can turn into a black dog (Sirius is the dog star). Bellatrix, his cousin, is named for the nearby amazon star. Guess what; she's a formidable dueller and Voldemort's second-in-command. In fact, most of the Black family are named after stars or constellations. "Bellatrix" also means "warrior woman".
Goyle is named after a Gargoyle (he's built like a stone and presumably rather ugly). Together with Crabbe they become "Grab and Coil", quite fitting for Slytherin students.
Dumbledore comes from an archaic word for a bumblebee, and according to Word of God Dumbledore likes to hum to himself.
Sybil Trelawney:
The word sibyl probably comes (via Latin) from the Greek word sibylla, meaning prophetess. Trelawney is a character from Treasure Island who notoriously thinks he knows what he is doing but doesn't at all. Fitting much?
It's even more evident in the Italian version: Trelawney's name becomes Sibilla Cooman, and the Sibilla Cumana was a legendary Roman prophetess.
Completely averted in the Finnish version, in which she becomes "Punurmio". That's nonsense at a first glance, until you realise "tree" would translate as "puu" and "lawn" could be translated as "nurmi". (The -o is an ending similar to -ey.) This is not the first time the translator demonstrated more creativity than background knowledge.
Minerva McGonagall: Minerva is the Roman Goddess of Wisdom and War, counterpart of Athena. McGonagall's last name comes from poet Sir William Topaz McGonagall, known as "Scotland's Worst Poet".
"Malfoy" derives from 'mal foi'', which means "bad faith" in French. This fits them throughout the series, but especially as the story progresses and they become more and more reluctant to serve Voldemort. Naming a child Draco might seem like a deliberate attempt to put him in Slytherin, and given the family history it probably was. It also nicely ties into the Black Stellar Name tradition, as his mother was named Narcissa Black before her marriage.
Then there is Snape: snape (v.) - 'to be hard upon, rebuke, snub,' c. 1300, from Old Norse sneypa 'to outrage, dishonor, disgrace.' And, of course, snake. "Severus" means "stern" in Latin.
Gilderoy Lockhart. 'Gilderoy' is from the French for 'golden king', as well as being the name of a famous English highwayman (according to Rowling). It's also "gilded", as in false gold. Lockhart is for the way all the girls and women swoon after him ('lock heart').

Everyday Heroes:
Invoked over and over. Mr. Mighty's real name is Marion John Mighty. (Word of God has it that his grandfather, after gaining superpowers, legally changed his surname to "Mighty"). There is also Mr. Mighty's arch-nemesis, Dr. Dooley Unpleasant; reformed villain Dr. Odious (and his music-loving son, Mel Odious); Simon Burke Davidson, commonly known as S.B.D. (he emits a terrible stench when turning invisible); and Carrie Pelosi, who has an enormous head of hair (and whose last name literally translates as "hairy").
Played with when Summer Mighty participates in a superpowered batting exhibition. When Mr. Sharpley asks what "super name" to use, she tells him to just use her real name. He technically complies by introducing her as "Miss Mighty", pointing out that that is her real name unless she got married since he last saw her (rather unlikely, what with her being fourteen years old).

Discussed in Milo Murphy's Law, where Dakota mentions that time traveler technology was invented by "Professor Time," and admits that he never even noticed the weirdness of that until Milo pointed it out. He suggests that he probably changed his name for branding purposes. Sure enough, later we learn that his real name was actually Heinz Doofenshmirtz.

Used in the Rick and Morty episode "Big Trouble in Little Sanchez", where Rick, Morty and Summer hunt a vampire working in the school, who turns out to be "Coach Feratu." It's lampshaded in The Stinger, where an exasperated vampire leader calls out his underlings for trying to pull off Punny Names.

Uncle Sam: The titular antagonist is named Sam Harper and is also the main character's uncle, meaning he really is called "Uncle Sam", which foreshadows how, after rising from his coffin on the Fourth of July, he puts on an Uncle Sam costume and goes on a killing spree.

Yu-Gi-Oh!, when read, can have two meanings: "Games King" or "King Yugi". Guess who grows up to be the King of Games? And who's Sexier Alter Ego is a Pharaoh (An Egyptian King). It would be more difficult to name a minor character from Yu-Gi-Oh! whose name has nothing to do with their deck.

Whateley Universe:
Anna Raquel Parsons has low-level powers from a squirrel spirit. Phase suggests the name 'Aquerna' from the Middle English word for squirrel. (Phase knows junk like this.) The trope gets lampshaded when Anna's friends try to turn her name into an anagram that includes her codename 'aquerna'. The best they can come up with is 'Aquerna plans sonar', which everyone agrees is stupid.

Discworld, by Terry Pratchett:
Subverted in Lords and Ladies. A man named Weaver is actually the village's baker, Mr. Thatcher works as a carter, etc. Furthermore, Mr. Carter's first name is Bestiality. (His parents had several daughters named Chastity, Prudence, etc. When they had their first son, they got confused.) The narrator informs the audience that Chastity Carter grew up to be a... Seamstress, and that Bestiality Carter is, in fact, very gentle and kind to animals.
Played straight and lampshaded in Mort, wherein the eponymous character becomes Death's apprentice. When Death learns of Mort's name, he comments: What a coincidence.
Played straight in Small Gods with Saint Ungulant. He's not a saint of any particular god; his full name is Sevrian Thaddeus Ungulant, and when someone pointed out his initials, "...it all seemed rather inevitable."

In the Richie Rich comic book, a scientist named Phil Lament becomes the supervillain Dr. N.R. Gee after plastic surgery turns him into a living light bulb. Richie Rich and his family fit as well, with them being filthy, stinking rich. Dr. Keenbean is a genius, Mayda Munny and Reggie Van Dough are also rich, Freckles Friendly has freckles and is friendly, and characters who frequently cross over with him are Dot Polka (she's obsessed with dots) and Lotta Plump.

King Genn Greymane, the racial leader of the worgen, is an unintentional example, as he was created way back in Warcraft II, when Gilneas was still a human kingdom and long before the worgen were introduced into the lore.

X-Men: Evolution: Lance Alvers, AKA Avalanche with the power to create earthquakes; and Todd Tolenski, AKA Toad, with the powers of, well, a frog. It should be noted that these are both Adaptation Name Changes; in the comics they're Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis and Mortimer Toynbee, respectively. (Which admittedly both sort of count on their ownnote "Petrakis" is related to the Greek word petros, meaning "rock," while "Toynbee" sounds a bit like "toad", but are at least more subtle.)

One Piece:
The marine Smoker gets a double dose of this. His powers are smoke-based and he has the habit of smoking. Of course, it might be a nickname. There's also the swordsman Zoro, Kuma (Japanese for "bear") with paw-pads in his hands, Killer who is good at killing people (Word of God confirmed this name was due to laziness), Capone Bege who uses a mafia-look and the pirate king Gold Roger and his second-in-command Silvers Rayleigh.
This is taken a step further in a fair few of the animal themed names such Monkey D. Luffy, who is very agile and unpredictable, his father Dragon who is considered the most dangerous man alive etc.
Most Devil Fruit users get a nickname based on what their power is, like Fire Fist Ace, or Desert King Crocodile (who controls sand) etc. Blackbeard also gets a mention as he had the nickname Blackbeard before he ate the Yami Yami No Mi and became a Dark based Devil Fruit user .
The children of Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin almost all have names related to their Devil Fruit powers or official positions in Big Mom's territory. Cracker has the power to create biscuits with the Bisc-Bisc Fruit, Oven can heat himself up, Pudding is an expert chocolatier...really, it'd be faster to name the one child who doesn't fit this trope, Lola, the White Sheep.
Downplayed with Brownbeard — Chahige in the original Japanese — whose real name is Chadros Higelyges. He gets a Dub Name Change to Browndros Beardriguez to preserve the pun in English. Doubles as Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance.

A number of newer characters in Geoff Johns' run qualify too, including Sinestro Corps members Karu-Sil ("carousel"; she's surrounded by animals) and Kryb (literally steals babies — also a Visual Pun as her ribcage protrudes through her back, like a crib), and Red Lantern Atrocitus (The Berserker using Blood Magic).

Max Payne spends his entire life feeling nothing but pain. Childhood? Dad's an abusive wreck and mom's dead. Adulthood? Got a wife, got a daughter then got home just in time to watch them die. Found a lead to solve their case? Got himself entangled in a Government Conspiracy and hunted by both sides of the law. Found another woman to forget his sordid past? She too died in his arms. Surviving through all this violent ordeal to live on? Got himself a crippling alcohol and painkiller addiction. Found a good job in another country to leave his past behind? Too bad, his job was to be a fall guy for a Brazilian crimelord. The last game in the series ending with him finding peace? Every game in the series ends with him supposedly finding peace.

Digimon Adventure sometimes referenced the characters' powers or that of their Mons. Sora, meaning "sky", has a flying partner; Hikari has the crest of "light" and strange glowing powers; Koushiro includes the kanji for "photon", and his partner has electricity-based powers.

The eponymous character in Soul Eater actually came from a family of musicians who didn't even know they had weapon's blood. Although as Not! clarifies, his last name was originally Evans and not Eater, his first name is still actually Soul. It's a very literal-minded name to give a Weapon, and the idea he was somehow given it without his parents knowing he was a Weapon is just baffling. And unfair to the poor kid. Not only do you have pointy teeth and unusual looks, but your name makes you sound like a monster. Not! explains away the sheer number of cases of this trope, because — as with Soul Evans — students register at the school with whatever name they like. As a result, there's a mish-mash of "normal" and unusual names throughout the cast.

The world's greatest escape artist, Mister Miracle, has the name Scott Free. However, this was an intentional joke; the name was given to him by Granny Goodness because of his attempts to escape her. What real name, if any, his father Highfather might have given him is unknown; Mr. Miracle has indicated that he himself doesn't know. (New Gods excel in theme naming.)

This is all over the place in Black Clover.

From the "They weren't even trying" file — in Gen¹³: What were the odds that someone named "Sarah Rainmaker" would gain weather control powers? She's a Native American, and they all have names like that, right? Right? The same book has the slightly less on the nose Caitlin Fairchild, who imaginatively fights crime with the Code Name "Fairchild." The manifestation of her powers gave her enhanced beauty and a perfect physique. And Burnout's nickname was "Burnout" before he gained fire powers.

xkcd: Lampooned in strip 2022 regarding athlete's names. It mentions three real names (Margaret Court, a tennis player; Gary Player, a golf player; and Lonzo Ball, a basketball player), and then a few other names like Jake Halfpipe, Dwight Shuttlecock and Kate Dopingscandal. The Alt Text mentions how Usain Bolt will be superseded in popularity by Derek Legs in the 2090s.

Speed Racer. In one translation had his given name as "Greg," with "Speed" being a nickname. It was used as an explanation behind the "G" on Speed's shirt, which is really due to the character being called "Go Mifune" in the original Japanese.

Sort of a meta-example: Superman: Secret Identity takes place in a world where Superman comics exist, and a couple with the surname Kent decides it would be funny to name their son Clark. As a teenager, Clark mysteriously acquires the same set of powers as Superman. When he starts fighting crime, he wears a Superman suit, figuring that if anyone sees him and claims to have been saved by Superman, they won't be believed.
Spiritual Successor ''Batman Creature Of The Night stars Bruce Wainwright, who finds after his parents' death that he can summon a bat-like wraith that does his bidding. Being a Batman fan, he naturally chooses to try and fight crime with it. It is later revealed that the bat creature is really Thomas Wainwright, his deceased brother.

Mutants & Masterminds: Likely as a homage to comic book superheroes, like many things in the setting,
Freedom City's Doctor Tomorrow was born Tomas Morgen. "Morgen" means tomorrow in German (it also means morning, but that's beside the point).
Fletcher Beaumont is the Bowman (A fletcher is an arrow-maker, and "Beaumont" is an almost exact homonym). In fact, three generations of Fletcher Beaumonts have been the Bowman — Fletcher Beaumont was Bowman I in the Golden Age, Fletcher Beaumont Jr. was Bowman III in the Silver Age, and Fletcher Beaumont III is the current Bowman IV. (Bowman II was Tim Quinn, formerly the Kid Sidekick Arrow.
Adrian Eldrich became the Master Mage, Eldritch.

Strange gives him a look that says Sure, Let's Go with That (in this case, both are true, as he is a former neurosurgeon).
Like in the page quote and the comic example, Spider-Man: No Way Home has another example with Doctor Octopus as he introduces himself to Peter, MJ and Ned. And as with the Infinity War joke, the kids laugh at his name while asking to know what it really is. It's justified in this case as MCU Spider-Man hasn't encountered any supervilains with ironically Prophetic Names up until this point.

Reversed in Being There. The protagonist's name is Chance, he apparently has no given last name, and as he is a gardener, he always introduces himself to other people as Chance the Gardener. When he meets Eve Rand and tells her his name, she hears it as the more conventional Chauncey Gardiner. The author explains that Chance doesn't question it in part because many people on TV have two names (actor and character). This plays differently in the film: Chance is having his first alcoholic drink just as she asks the question, and he chokes on it as he answers, so it does come out sounding like Chauncey Gardiner. Either way, Chance is too dim to realize this misunderstanding, so the new name sticks.

It eventually is revealed that name based magic affinity is a legit thing in the setting (at least under the current rules of magic). Just a first or last name usually wouldn't be enough to change things, but a name like Catalina Bobcat can apparently result in you, if you get magic, starting out getting cat-themed spells. Pandora doesn't like it very much though, since it isn't logical from her point of view, and can sometimes interfere with other spells she considers more interesting. She does note that it's kind of a nature vs. nurture thing when observing a girl named Kitty, whose mark gives her the ability to turn men into Cat Girls — she has an obsession with catgirls that leads Pandora to muse that she might have gotten the same power even with a different name, if not for the question of whether or not she developed the obsession because of the name.

Examples in Batman's Rogues Gallery:
Edward ("E.") Nygma: The Riddler. This was later retconned into a stage name, with his real name being Edward Nashton.
Harleen Quinzel hooked up with the Joker to become Harley Quinn (harlequin, a type of clown). Lampshaded in the comic one-shot "Mad Love" (later adapted into a Batman: The Animated Series episode), when they flash back to how she and the Joker first met: the Joker points it out, to which she replies that a lot of people bring it up.

Nanny Cook and Nanny Butler in The Hundred and One Dalmatians are the respective childhood nannies of Mr. and Mr. Dearly. When their charges grow up and marry, the two old nannies have a laugh about their respective surnames and lament that it's a shame they aren't a real cook and a real butler, since that's what the newlyweds need. This inspires them both to train up to become a cook and a butler, respectively, and rejoining the Dearly household in their new roles. They run into a slight problem, since while it's appropriate to call a cook "Cook," the one thing you cannot call a butler is "Butler." Fortunately they both end up being addressed as "Nanny darling" anyway.

Many of the main Inscribed characters of Epithet Erased (with the exception of Ramsey Murdoch) have a name that has to do, in some way, shape or form, with their Epithet, though some are more subtle or are a Bilingual Bonus.
Molly Blyndeff's Epithet is Dumb. Her last name is in reference to the olden saying "blind, deaf and dumb", with "dumb" in that context used as synonymous with mute rather than stupid.
Giovanni Potage's Epithet is Soup. His last name is a type of thick soup.
Indus Tarbella's Epithet is BARRIER!! In Pakistan, along the Indus River, lies a massive dam that blocks water, known as the Tarbela Dam.
Sylvester Ashling's Epithet is Drowsy. His last name is an adapted Irish name (Aisling) meaning "dream".
Mera Salamin's Epithet is Fragile. Her first name is an adapted form of "mirror", and her last name means "mirror" or "glass" in Tagalog.
Percival King's Epithet is Parapet. Her name further ties in with the theme of fantasy, as her first name is shared by one of the Knights of the Round Table, and her last name is quite obvious.
Zora Salazar's Epithet is Sundial. Her first name is Slavic in origin, and can mean "dawn".

Justified, lampshaded, and discussed in an episode of The Office (US), where Dwight skips work to go visit Jan behind Michael's back, with the excuse that he had to go visit the dentist. Michael finds out, and presses Dwight to confess. When asked what the name of Dwight's dentist is, he makes up the name "Crentist" on the spot. Michael immediately points out how similar this name sounds to the word "dentist", and Dwight tries to cover with the excuse that perhaps the name is the reason why he became a dentist.

In Romance and the Fate of Equestria, this phenomenon is called "name science" and is a frequent topic of in-universe discussion. Princess Luna claims that names are far more influential to a pony's destiny than cutie marks. This is described as a branch of magic that few ponies know about and most consider pseudoscience, likely to explain the Genre Blindness that occurs in the show itself.

Death Note loves this trope. Villain Protagonist Light Yagami's last name literally means "night god", and his first name is written (in a slight subversion of the typical "Hikari" naming) with the symbol for "moon". Similarly, his disciple and proxy late in the series has the last name Mikami, the pronunciation of which can mean "eye god" or "seeing god" (though unlike Light's last name, this meaning is concealed by different kanji symbols). And Light's rival, L, has the real name L Lawliet, which is intended to be pronounced "low light".

In the Elite Four, there's Lorelei, named after a German water creature; Bruno, similar to brawn, Fighting-type; Agatha (similar to "aghast") of the Ghost-type; and Lance, a weapon used by knights, trains Dragons-types.

My Hero Academia has a veritable boat-load: Katsuki Bakugonote "strong explosion" basically sweats nitroglycerin, Shotonote Which is written with the kanji for "freezing" and "heating" respectively Todoroki has both ice and fire powers, Denkinote "electricity" Kaminarinote "above sound", but also a pun on "lightning" has electricity powers, Mina Ashido generates Hollywood Acid, etc. Protagonist Izuku Midoriya averts this, but oddly enough the aversion kind of makes him play it straight: his name doesn't reflect his superpowers because he has none at the outset of the story. Then it's played straight when it's revealed that he's the ninth holder of One For All and the "ku" in his given name is homophonous to the Japanese word for nine, which can also be read as "kyu". The previous holders of One For All also had names representing their numbers in the succession.
Taken Up to Eleven with Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. Half the kanji in his name literally mean iron in Japanese, and the other half are homophomous with the word for ironnote his surname contains "iron" and "philosophy", while his given name contains "pierce" and "iron". Three guesses what his power is.
There's a degree of invocation involved with MHA, as children tend to inherit either one or both of their parents' powers and thus their parents may name their kids in anticipation of this. The likeliest example of this is Todoroki, whose father (who has fire powers) deliberately married a woman with ice powers in order to have powerful children and who could have seen Shoto's dual red-and-white hair as a sign he had inherited both powers.

Ben 10:
The main character is named Ben Tennyson. Not only does he gain ten (and eventually more) super-powered alien alter-egos, he's ten years old when it happens.
Ben's enemy has the ability to absorb powers, giving him one more than Ben, making him Kevin 11. His real name: Kevin Levin. He stops absorbing power from living things by then, as Alien Force established his middle name as "Ethan". Ben then mocks him for how that makes him "Kevin E. Levin".
There's the villain Mike Morningstar. Of course, he became ugly and replaced his shiny powers by dark ones, so he's now Darkstar.

Subverted in Lords and Ladies. A man named Weaver is actually the village's baker, Mr. Thatcher works as a carter, etc. Furthermore, Mr. Carter's first name is Bestiality. (His parents had several daughters named Chastity, Prudence, etc. When they had their first son, they got confused.) The narrator informs the audience that Chastity Carter grew up to be a... Seamstress, and that Bestiality Carter is, in fact, very gentle and kind to animals.

The Quest of the Unaligned:
All aligned mages have the name of their discipline somewhere in their own name: Laeshana, Deshamai, Naruahn, etc. Word of God reveals this to be more of an Invoked Trope, as it turns out mages actually change their name to match their power. For example, Laeshana was Lahana before her fire-magic manifested.
Also worth noting that this rule explicitly doesn't apply to the unaligned mages of the royal house. Kethel, Tathilya, Alaric, etc can keep their birth names. Laeshana's becoming unaligned has sparked a controversy in the court of Caederan over whether she should stay Laeshana, revive her birth name of Lahana, or rename herself to Lorahna.

Reversed in Good Omens, in which the serpent of Eden is named Crawly, but changes his name to Anthony Crowley later on because it "just wasn't him." His assumed name is itself a reference to Aleister Crowley, a famous occultist who liked to spread rumors about his Satanic indulgences for a laugh. Some satanic nuns also attempt to invoke the trope in-Universe by calling the supposed anti-Christ "Warlock". And the real Antichrist is called Adam. Kind of obvious, wouldn't you think?

In the Pokémon games, most (or all, some are just more of a stretch if you believe them at all) of the Gym Leaders and some other powerful trainers such as the Elite Four have meaningful names related to the type of Pokémon they happen to grow up to exclusively train.
The original games give us: the painfully obvious Brock; Misty, the Water-type master; Lt. Surge; Erika, referring to the Erica genus of heathers, is a grass-type trainer; Koga, after one school/style of Ninja arts, trains Poison-types; Sabrina (from psy + brain, or a Sabrina the Teenage Witch reference) trains Psychic-types; Blaine similar to blaze, (and he lives on a volcano that later erupts!); and Giovanni (pun on geo) for Ground-types. In the Elite Four, there's Lorelei, named after a German water creature; Bruno, similar to brawn, Fighting-type; Agatha (similar to "aghast") of the Ghost-type; and Lance, a weapon used by knights, trains Dragons-types.
Gen II continues the trend in Johto with Falk(on)er; Bugsy (guess); plain-jane Whitney and her normal-types; Morty, a death-pun and Ghost-type trainer; Chuck the Fighting trainer; trope appears to be averted with Steel-type user Jasmine, who doesn't train Grass-types — until a closer look at her name's second syllable; Pryce; Clair the Dragon-type leader's name comes from dragons' lair; Koga's daughter/replacement Janine (reverse the syllables); and in the Elite Four, Psychic-specialist Will (as in -power); and the Dark-specialist Karen comes from a corruption of "darken" as well as her philosophy of using your favorite Pokemon, the ones you truly care for.
For the third round, Hoenn, Roxanne is a Rock-type trainer; Brawly (guess correctly or get punched); Wattson; Fire-user Flannery; Norman, a Normal-type trainer; Winona's Flying-types soaring on the air currents; Psychic-users Tate and Liza (Liza-Tate sounds similar to "levitate"); and Watery Wallace and Juan. The punnier-than-usual Hoenn Elite Four & Champ contain Dark type user Sidney (sounds an awful lot like "sinister"), Phoebe's fearful Ghost-types calling out to Greek god Phobos as well as "phantom"; cold lady Glacia; and Drake the Dragon man; with sometimes-champion Steel/Rock-user Steven Stone.
In Sinnoh, there's the poorly disguised Roark (Rock-type); Gardenia (Grass-type), also a kind of flower; a Fighting-type melee with Maylene; the Water-type using Crasher Wake (though given his Masked Wrestler persona that might be a pseudonym); Fantina uses Ghost-type; Byron, Steel-type; there's the Ice-using Candice; and there's Volkner too, he's a real shocker. For the Elite Four there's Bertha who is a Ground-type (earth) user; Lucian's Psychics may use confusing illusions or cause hallucination; Flint, a Fire-type user is the most obvious one in Elite Four of Sinnoh. Platinum reveals that Flint only chose to train Fire types after learning a flint is something used to spark fires.
In Unova, there's the edible trio of Cilan(tro), (water)Cress, and (spicy) Chili; the incredibly subtle Burgh; Elesa, the expert of electricity; Clay; Skyla the Flying-type expert and jet pilot; Brycen; and Drayden, who apparently trained in the Dragon's Den in Gen. II. For the Elite Four there's Shauntal, mistress of Ghosts; Grimsley, a foreboding Dark-user gambler; and Marshal, the martial-arts expert of the Unova Elite 4.
Pokémon Black 2 and White 2: Several characters' names has some sort of meaning (Roxie, user of toxic poison types (and she also rox out as the lead singer and guitarist in her band); marine Water-type trainer Marlon, whose name resembles that of a fish; and so on). Also, minor NPC Stu Deeoh is the head of Pokéstar Studios.
Kalos has Bug-user Viola, who's named for a genus of butterfly; the rocky Grant (from granite, but possibly also a reference to Alan Grant, as they're both associated with dinosaurs); the fighting Korrina, which sounds like K.O. plus "arena"; the grassy Ramos, whose name involves several plants; the shocking Clemont, which has to do with the lemon battery; Valerie, whose name combines a plant genus with "faerie"; the psychic Olympia, which is reminiscent of the divine Mt. Olympus; and Wulfric, whose name could mean "frigid wolf." The elite trainers include the fiery Malva, which combines "magma" and "lava"; the watery Siebold (as in sea); and Drasna, which is reminiscent of "dragon."
Galar has Nessa, a water specialist named after... a certain body of water. Also Bea, the fighting Gym Leader, which sounds a lot like "beat"; Allister, the Ghost-type Gym Leader, named after Allister Crowley; and the Dark-type user Piers (sounds similar to "pierce").
Paldea has Bug-type Gym Leader Katy (from "katydid," a type of bug), Grass Gym Leader Brassius (from Brassicaceae, a family of plants that includes things like cabbage, mustard, wasabi, and canola), Electric Gym Leader Iono (from "ion"), Water Gym Leader and chef Kofu (from "cove" and "kombu," a type of edible seaweed), Normal/Flying Gym Leader/Elite Four member Larry (both a generic English name for Normal and sounds like "Airy" for Flying), rapping Ghost-type Gym Leader Ryme, Psychic-type Gym Leader and beautician Tulip, and Ground-type Elite Four member Rika (from "riku," Japanese for "land").
English names for protagonists not named after a version: Ruby and Sapphire’s protagonists Brendan (sounds like "land") and May (sounds like "bay") fit the land vs. water theming. Diamond and Pearl’s protagonists are Lucas (comes from the German "lux", meaning light) and Dawn (self-explanatory). Black and White’s are named Hilbert (means "bright in battle"), Hilda ("battle maiden"). The sequels, Black 2 and White 2, star Nate and Rosa (Rosa and Nate, RosaNate, resonate). X and Y’s Kalos region is calm and serene, perfect for Calem and Serena. Sun and Moon star Elio (from the sun god Helios) and Selene (from the moon goddess Selene). Sword and Shield, the games named after weapons, have protagonists named Victor (victory) and Gloria (glory). The Let's Go games have Chase (from... well, "chase") and Elaine (from "lane").
The spinoff games are not immune to this either, as the Quirky Miniboss Squad of Pokémon Ranger Shadows of Almia the Sinis Trio consists of Ice, who first confronts you in an icy castle, Lavana, who is first fought in a volcano, and Heath, whom you run into in the desert. Meanwhile, one of the main antagonists of Guardian Signs is a magician named Hocus.

In Planescape: Torment, Ignus became obsessed with fire, became a pyromaniac and then became a living being consumed by flames with the power to create flames from himself. It's most likely an Invoked Trope, however, as the game indicates that he gave himself the name because of his obsession with fire. There's also Morte, who's a floating human skull. Just in case the player doesn't get it, one of the things he says when selected is "Morte. As in Latin. For death."

The name of The Venture Bros. immediately (and usually ironically) evoke a sense of adventure. Brock Samson is a long-haired strong man. Pete White is an albino scientist. Before his arms and legs became invisible, Phantom Limb was known as Hamilton G. Fantomas. Wherever a character's real name is revealed, it's almost always a pun on what they do. Of course, it's all done with a loving wink at the Gold and Silver Ages of comics that made this a trope in the first place.

The childhood nicknames of Timmy's Mom and Dad were "Mom" and "Dad" respectively. Considering we learn in "Polter-Geeks" that their real names back then were "Barnaby" and "Mom" respectively, it's no wonder they went by those nicknames.

Questionable Content: Referenced in #699. Whether Penelope Gaines really is Pizza Girl, making this an actual example, is yet to be determined, though it seems unlikely that plot thread will be taken up again.

In Wonder Woman and the Star Riders evidently all the Star Riders besides Diana herself (Dolphine, Ice, Star Lily and Solara) are either using their real names or variations of them for their hero names.

In the Blood Bond, Blood Omen Series, Shego, Mego and Hego are really Sheila, Miguel and Hector Gomez respectively. Shego was proud of her Hispanic heritage and Hego's decision that Team Go should hide their ethnicity is one of the reasons she ultimately left the team.

Scullion in Porterhouse Blue — the name is an old word for "servant" and Scullion is a zealous servant of the college. (A throwaway line suggests that he might actually be descended from the original college servants back in The Dung Ages.)

Sonic the Hedgehog:
While Dr. Eggman has a lot of egg named devices, these are mostly named after himself given his ego to stick his name and face on everything. However, his original localized American name (and eventually original name before adopting Eggman), Dr. Robotnik, counts, when you consider what all his enemy forces are.
Obviously Sonic himself (name relating to the speed of sound) as well as his speed boosting transformations Super Sonic, and the even faster Hyper Sonic.
Then of course you have his friends Knuckles (giant boxing glove-like hands), Tails (two tailed fox) or his birth name Miles Prower (pun on Miles per hour), and Big the Cat (is a Big Cat).

Spider-Man: Spider-Man confirmed that a suspicious recurring character was a villain by using the Internet: Googling "spider" and "arrow" allowed him to realize that Miss Arrow is in fact the mass of pirate spiders (genus "Ero", a homophone for arrow) that took over his shed skin from The Other.

Young Justice (2010):
Implied with Queen Bee. She has mind-control pheromones that affect anyone attracted to women, which is at least vaguely similar to a real queen bee, but Word of God implies that "Bee" is her actual name rather than a conscious supervillainous motif. (It's unclear if she's a royal by birth, though.)
Ed Dorado Jr., originally a stand-in for El Dorado from Super Friends, became this as he took up the codename "El Dorado" in the revival.

The Thundermans are an interesting case. Every known superhero or supervillain family has a last name that's the same as the patriarch's alias (Thunderman, Evilman, Falconman, ect). Rarely does a superhero's civilian name match up with their powers; Hank Thunderman is a Flying Brick, Max and Phoebe Thunderman have a Breath Weapon and telekinesis, and so on. The only known supers who do are Mike Evilman (less to do with his actual powers and more to do with him being an Evil Counterpart to Thunderman), Barb Thunderman (superheroine name Electress, maiden name McBooger) and Candi Falconman (supervillainess who can generate and weaponize candy).

Warhammer 40,000 is about as subtle as, well, a warhammer to the face with these.
The Primarch of the World Eaters, a man who grew up on a planet where Gladiator Games were the norm, and was about to lead a Gladiator Revolt against his masters, before being kidnapped by the Emperor, seeding resentment for years to come, and later turned to the Chaos god of rage and war? Angron.
The Champion of Nurgle, Chaos god of disease, is named Typhus (born Calas Typhon). Other Nurglites include Epidemius, Herperitus and Necrosius.
The White Scars are basically the Mongol Horde IN SPACE!, replacing horses with motorbikes and antigrav speeders. Their Primarch, who united the warring tribes of his planet against its empire and took over the planet was Jaghatai Khan (after Genghis Khan's son Chagatai).
The winged Primarch of the Blood Angels, a Chapter of Space Marines who suffer vampiric afflictions and bloodlust, was Sanguinius.
Canis Wolfborn of the Space Wolves, Wolf Guard of Wolf Lord Harald Deathwolf's Great Company, riding a Thunderwolf into battle and accompanied by his own wolfpack, believed by the Wolf Priests to have been Raised by Wolves. Oh, and the Space Wolves' home planet is Fenris.
Ferrus Manus, Primarch of the... Iron Hands Chapter.
The Chapter with the heaviest forging imagery, what with being based on a volcanic planet, was of course led by Vulkan.
The Primarch of the Raven Guard, a black-armored Chapter who specialize in jetpacks (out of jealousy of his brother Sanguinius' wings, he practiced with it until he could fly just as well)? Corvus Corax.
A Dark Eldar Archon known to flay her enemies alive is of course named Kruellagh the Vile.

There's also Nanosec, real name Nino Sexton; Angry Archer, real name Aaron A. Archer; Slo-mo, real name Samantha Lomow; and Professor Princess, real name... Professor Penny Princess, PhD. She's a girl genius.
Notably, Angry Archer and Slo-mo are modelled and named after real Hasbro employees, Aaron C. Archer and Samantha Lomow
The comic-only villain Crossroads, real name Roland Cross, also qualifies.

El Goonish Shive:
Grace Sciuridae, a.k.a. Shade Tail, is a part-squirrel Half-Human Hybrid. "Sciuridae" is the formal name for the family of mammals which includes squirrels; it actually means "shade tail" in Greek. Apparently, Dr. Sciuridae's last name was not one of the factors which went into the decision to use squirrel DNA for her (the original human donor was supposed to be a strong, beefy man, but Sciuridae substituted the sample with one from his dead daughter, which is why Grace considers him her grandfather). Also, Grace Sciuridae = Grace Squirrel = Grey Squirrel.
It eventually is revealed that name based magic affinity is a legit thing in the setting (at least under the current rules of magic). Just a first or last name usually wouldn't be enough to change things, but a name like Catalina Bobcat can apparently result in you, if you get magic, starting out getting cat-themed spells. Pandora doesn't like it very much though, since it isn't logical from her point of view, and can sometimes interfere with other spells she considers more interesting. She does note that it's kind of a nature vs. nurture thing when observing a girl named Kitty, whose mark gives her the ability to turn men into Cat Girls — she has an obsession with catgirls that leads Pandora to muse that she might have gotten the same power even with a different name, if not for the question of whether or not she developed the obsession because of the name.

Judge Dredd:
Judge Joseph Dredd has a rather appropriate surname for the foremost enforcer of a dystopian police-state. Given that the character originated as a cynical inversion of the typical strong-jawed crime-fighter, the lack of subtlety in this example can be assumed as entirely deliberate.
Judge Dredd's Arch-Enemy Judge Death had the real surname De'ath when he was alive. Obviously, he had to become an Omnicidal Maniac.

In the The Incredibles franchise, the older son has the power of super-speed. His name? Dashiell Robert Parr, or 'Dash' for short. The other kids have subtler allusions to their powers; Violet (as in "Shrinking Violet," because of her shyness at the beginning) whose power is invisibility and generation of forcefields, which are tinted violet. Ultraviolet is also a type of light that is invisible to human eyes. Jack-Jack has a wide variety and is a "jack of all trades".

Numerous characters in My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, including background ponies, whose names always match either their personality, special talent, or both, and every pony discovers their special talent while growing up, so those ponies whose names don't reflect personality have a good hint what their special talent will be. ...Or would if it weren't for universal Genre Blindness on the matter.
It also opens up some interesting naming conventions, such as Mayor Mare and Granny Smith. Both are quite appropriate given who they are (Mayor Mare is female and is a mayor, while Granny Smith is named after a type of apple due to being in the Apple Family and is, well, old). However if taken at face value this means that either they have completely different names growing up (or at least, what remains of their names is really, really generic) or you'd have to imagine two kids named "Mayor" and "Granny".
We finally find out in "The Perfect Pear" that Mrs. Cake's name was once known as Chiffon Swirl until she discovered her talent for baking. Ponies aren't always born with perfectly-on-the-nose names as if their parents were omniscient after all, it seems.
A rather hilarious and unintentional subversion/inversion happens with Discord. It's an appropriate enough name for a spirit of chaos and disharmony. The subversion comes when Fluttershy helps him reform and he becomes more of an Anti-Hero while still keeping the sinister name Discord. That said, he never fully outgrows his penchant for infuriating ponies and turning friends against friends (he just does in a more personal scale as opposed to apocalyptic World Gone Mad levels), so the name never becomes completely obsolete.

Subverted by Monty Python's Flying Circus in the "Bicycle Repairman" sketch. Mr. F.G. Superman's name is actually quite normal, on account of the fact that he lives in a society inhabited entirely by other Supermen, and does not in any way hint at his secret identity as... Bicycle Repairman!

Wild Cards:
Jack Braun gains super-strength
And James Spector gains the power to raise from the dead (like a spectre) and the power to kill with his gaze (spec- at least indicates vision).
There are a lot of these in the Wildcards 'verse. It's justified in-universe as the alien virus that triggers super powers (and super-deaths/disabilities) is strongly influenced by the subconscious.

Pokémon: The Series:
"Ash" simply sounds like "Satoshi", though fire is a common theme among Japanese heroes (though it might be based on the tree-based names of the Professors). "Ketchum" on the other hand is a word play on "Catch 'em"; "Dawn" carries on the light-themed "Hikari", not expressed in her Pokemon, but reflective of her appearance in Diamond & Pearl; "May"/"Haruka" does seem to use some spring-themed Pokemon. "Misty"/"Kasumi" is a straight example — the names are equivalent, and she is heavily water-themed; "Brock" has the obvious "Rock".
In the German version Brock is named Rocko.
Many Gym Leaders have localized names that are puns on the type of Pokemon they train (including former gym leaders Brock and Misty). Later games have moved away from this and towards Theme Naming.
In the original series, a doctor who specializes in human medicine is called Dr. Proctor in the dub, and Dr. Doc in Japanese.

Erfworld's Parson Gotti is an anagram of "protagonist". This is mostly significant in the comic's World of Pun setting because Parson is from our world, and his name was decided outside of the influence of the setting's "Signamancy," which leads to everyone having a name that is this trope (for example, Jillian Zamussels, the warlord/barbarian, and King Don, head of the vampire/mafia mashup side Transylvito).

Doctor Strange is not just a cool name for the Sorcerer Supreme, the most powerful magician in the Marvel Universe; it's also just his actual name and title — Dr. Stephen Strange, M.D. (he was a neurosurgeon before becoming a sorcerer).

Fantastic Four:
Doctor Doom, the team's nemesis. "Doom" is his real surname (Victor Von Doom, to be precise), though he never actually completed his doctorate. His Ultimate counterpart is more subtle about this: it's Victor Van Damme rather than Von Doom, and "Doctor Doom" is a nickname.
Diablo's real name was revealed to be "Esteban Corazón de Ablo".
When Marvel needed a surname for Alicia, the fans picked "Masters", as her father was the villain Puppet Master. This retroactively made him an example of this, and he'd later be given the full name Phillip Masters, to boot.
Johnny Storm's son in the Marvel Comics 2 continuity, Torus Storm, naturally picked the name "Superstorm" for himself.

As shown by the "making of" documentary for The Lord of the Rings, the makeup artist who applied Sean Astin's prosthetic hobbit feet was named Sean Foot. Another example from those movies is John Noble playing an aristocrat.

Artemis Fowl: The butler's name is...Butler. This is actually an inversion, as it's heavily implied and speculated in-universe that the Butler family has been in the business so long that the profession was named after them. Also a subversion, as Butler is also a bodyguard.

Many of the eponymous Assassins of the Assassin's Creed games are named after birds of prey (specifically, eagles). Of note are the protagonists of the first two games, Altair (name means "the flying (eagle)") and Ezio (Italian name derived from a Greek word meaning "eagle"). Fitting, with the way their skills and work clothes make them look like eagles.

Kalos has Bug-user Viola, who's named for a genus of butterfly; the rocky Grant (from granite, but possibly also a reference to Alan Grant, as they're both associated with dinosaurs); the fighting Korrina, which sounds like K.O. plus "arena"; the grassy Ramos, whose name involves several plants; the shocking Clemont, which has to do with the lemon battery; Valerie, whose name combines a plant genus with "faerie"; the psychic Olympia, which is reminiscent of the divine Mt. Olympus; and Wulfric, whose name could mean "frigid wolf." The elite trainers include the fiery Malva, which combines "magma" and "lava"; the watery Siebold (as in sea); and Drasna, which is reminiscent of "dragon."

In City of Heroes:
Belladonna "Ghost Widow" Vetrano was an assassin in life, while Tammy "Numina" Arcanus is a mage who survives in astral form after her body was destroyed.
Jim Temblor has earth control powers, just like his father, Bill "Faultline" Temblor.
During a Resistance mission in Going Rogue, you're supported offscreen by a pair of snipers, named "Griefer" and "Headshot". Guess where the names come from.

In some versions of Transformers the Dinobots were called the Dynobots long before they adapted Dinosaur alt-modes. How convenient that their new alt-modes are partial homophones for their names in an alien language that hasn't even been invented yet.

In the Italian dub of Saint Seiya, almost all of the bronze saints that serve Athena bear a constellation-related name since they're little children. On both Lost Canvas and Next Dimension, it's revealed that the previous holy war's Pegasus saint was called Tenma, which is Japanese for "Pegasus". Justified in Lost Canvas, in that he was born destined to be the Pegasus saint, and his parents knew it.
