The opposite of A Million Is a Statistic, when the names of those who died are given instead of just faceless numbers to show respect for their sacrifice. A Sub-Trope of Nominal Importance: a list of a hundred names, often on a War Memorial, hits much harder than "100 people died". A common variation of this trope is a high-rank military commander memorizing the names of all those who died carrying out his orders, despite not technically having to, usually used to dramatically reveal him as A Father to His Men. Other variations include newspaper articles, a War Memorial, or a database with pictures. Related to What Measure Is a Mook?. See also He Had a Name. Posthumous Characters can be part of this, too, as long as they're listed on the War Memorial. But sometimes, all we know about the characters are their names. As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware. |

In Fight Club, Tyler Durden instructs Project Mayhem recruits that as "Space Monkeys", they no longer have individual names. When they decide to bury the corpse of a recruit who died during a Project Mayhem operation, the narrator has finally had enough and frantically reminds everyone that the dead man, Robert Paulson, wasn't a nameless grunt but a human being with a name. This backfires horrifically, as the other recruits take this to mean that it's only in death that a Space Monkey can earn a name, setting Project Mayhem on the path to becoming a Martyrdom Culture. | |

Bones: One episode had the team investigate the murder of a CIA analyst. At the end of the episode, the CIA director places a star for him on Langley's memorial wall, which is normally reserved for operatives, because the analyst had died in service to his country (to say more would be spoilers). In another episode, "The Patriot in Purgatory", the team identify the remains of a homeless man who had died from injuries sustained during the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon, after pulling people out of the wreckage to safety. They discover that his real name was Tim Murphy, a Desert Storm veteran who had suffered mental trauma after an attack on an ammo dump. Before 9/11, he had been seen around the Pentagon shouting "Walken, Moore, Park!" repeatedly at passersby. It is revealed out that Walken, Moore and Park were three members of his platoon, who died in the ammo dump attack that Tim survived. Since returning stateside he had been trying to get the Pentagon to honor the dead officers with Purple Hearts. One episode kicked off when a fresh body was found in a shipwreck the team had been working on, because they're a museum in addition to a crime lab. The ship was a slaver, which deeply affects Cam (who's black and can trace at least part of her ancestry back to slaves). At the end of the episode, after the modern murder has been solved, Cam kicks off the museum exhibition by reading off the names of the slaves who died when the ship sank. It's accompanied by Angela's facial reconstructions, giving back as much humanity as they can to the victims. |

CSI: NY: During Mac's 10-Minute Retirement, he's working at another lab trying to help identify the remains of 9/11 victims. When a young co-worker asks about his wife and keeps saying "she" and "her," he snaps, telling the girl that her name was Claire and that the victims have names and are not just statistics. The girl goes silent and he immediately apologies, saying he knows she doesn't think that. (It's the 10th anniversary of the tragedy, so he's more on edge about it than usual.) | |

Star Trek: Enterprise: In "The Forgotten", the struggle of Trip to actually do this is his plot through the episode. As her commanding officer Trip's duty was write a letter of condolences to the family of a Redshirt that died recently, but he barely even remembers anything about her. He also has difficulty separating it from his personal loss of his sister, which prompted the mission that the Redshirt was killed on in the first place. | |

In D.Gray-Man, when the European Branch of the Order is beginning to move their headquarters, they are attacked by a ghost girl who intends to keep them trapped in the castle forever. The ghost girl eventually reveals that the Order brought her there when she was a child and had kept experimenting on her until she died. She's been trapped in the castle for so long, she does not even remember her own name. Komui then recites a long list of names of people who had died because of the Order's experiments. | |

NCIS: Los Angeles featured the team trying to find an intelligence officer who had copied some classified data (although no one knew what he had copied). Everyone (including the FBI) assume he was trying to release information to discredit the military. The information was the names of soldiers who had died in classified missions in Afghanistan. The man, who was considered too valuable to be sent into combat, wanted to honor the men who were sent into danger by making sure others knew they'd given their lives for their country and weren't just anonymous casualty statistics. | |

Fullmetal Alchemist: Van Hohenheim knows the names of all of the souls trapped inside him—the victims of Xerxes' country-wide transmutation circle—and very early in his character development, even before The Reveal of his true nature, he's seen listing them out and then announcing, "I'm going to have to use you." On its last day, Xerxes had a population of 1,072,659 people (counting Hohenheim himself). Half of those, 536,329 souls, were sealed into Hohenheim's body, and he's had over 400 years to learn their names and get to know them. Solf J. Kimblee has a similar philosophy. While learning the names of the various Ishvalan people they're killing would be implausible, he considers it a soldier's obligation to learn the faces of every person they kill in their professional capacity as a soldier; after all, "they'll always remember you..." It's a remarkably inspiring scene coming from a complete and utter sociopath. |

Modern Warfare: The first game has a scrolling list of all 30,000 US Marines who died in the nuclear blast. Modern Warfare 2 has a list of the Zakhaev International Airport massacre victims, but it scrolls by too fast to read any of their names. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has yet another list, because many SAS succumbed to the London gas attacks. |

Used more literally than usual in Cross Ange. The Norma (humans who cannot use mana and disrupt mana that they come in contact with) are stripped of all but their first names in life to make them Un-person, but if they fall in battle, their full birth names are inscribed on their headstones. | |

Attack on Titan: There is repeatedly various characters listing the casualties of the encounters with the Titans they just survived, even if those names were never even mentioned before. On one occasion this even happens preemptively: Tragically averted in the aftermath of the Battle of Trost. The remains of the Titans' victims that were vomited out are so mangled and mixed up that it's impossible to identify them. Marco was relatively fortunate since only half of his body was eaten, meaning Jean could identify him. Most of the time the only way to identify which soldiers have died in a battle with Titans is to tally up who didn't come back. |

While it doesn't happen constantly, Romance of the Three Kingdoms sometimes gives the names of several people who died from a specific event. These names may or may not have been mentioned before that point and may never be important to the story. Understandable, though, since it is based on actual history. | |

When President Palmer's advisors relate this to him, he asks what the boy's name was, and Lynne Kresge admits that they don't know. Palmer's not satisfied with this. "The boy had a name.

In Going Postal, the signallers and engineers who die on the Grand Trunk have their names sent over the network to their home town. But one name, John Dearheart, cycles permanently throughout the entire network, in the overhead where the signallers can read it. When asked why by an apprentice, the gaffer replies; "A man's not dead while his name's still spoken." |

XCOM: Enemy Unknown has a memorial in the barracks, listing the name, number of missions, and kills of any soldier KIA. This may be moot for some, however, since some players would realize that many of their soldiers would die quickly, and easily at one misstep and just enlist soldiers by the bucketfull. Well, that or rely on Save Scumming. Which has been taken a step further by fans who started a Facebook app where people can submit the names of those KIA for all to see. | |

Eve Dallas from In Death has the gift and curse of remembering all the murder victims she stands for. Seduction in Death has her fighting with one Jerkass of a cop who has the nerve to bring up her actions in Judgment in Death and call her the Rat Squad's poster girl to her face. She responds that there were cops being murdered in that case and asks if he wants their names, because she has every single one of them in her head. Later in the series, in Apprentice in Death, Eve is at a press conference where one of the reporters implies that the police didn't take the book's murders seriously enough until a police officer was killed. She responds by listing the names of each one of the now twenty-five victims, from first to last, to demonstrate that she and the police department consider them all to be equally important. | |

Chrysalis (RinoZ): The Legion keeps a memorial wall, where they carve the names of those who do not survive the "baptism" — or who choose a quick clean death instead of going through it. Commander Titus himself chisels in Trelik's name after administering such an execution. But carving in his own son's name, after Romanus didn't survive the baptism, was surely harder. | |

Star Trek Novel 'Verse: In A Singular Destiny, there is a brief interlude showing a casualty list of people killed in a specific sector of space. All of the names were of characters we never met, except for B'Elanna Torres and Miral Paris. However, both of them were actually still alive. Near the end of the Starfleet Corps of Engineers novella Wildfire, there is an extract from the Captain's Log that lists the 23 (out of a crew of 40) crewmembers who were killed in that mission. The most "important" character in the list, Second Officer Duffy is just tossed into the list with no significant importance. |

In the original Dragon Age: Origins, there is a list (near the Anvil of the Void) of the dwarves who became golems. Their names are recorded because the golems are made by killing the dwarf in a nightmarish fashion and using their soul to power the golems — so they effectively "die" as dwarves, even if their soul is, arguably, still present. | |

Codex Alera: In First Lord's Fury, an old Cane ritualist named Marok exploits this trope to publicly cut down the leader of the rival ritualist faction, Nhar, to size. When Nhar publicly protests Marok's making a political deal with Tavi on the grounds that Tavi had killed two Canim earlier, Marok simply asks him what their names were. To Nhar, his dead clanmates have never been anything but a pretext for war with the Alerans, so he's never bothered learning their names and is thoroughly humiliated when Marok himself lists them off the top of his head. He then tries to attack the old ritualist with Blood Magic, but the latter immediately hands his ass back to him in combat, as well. | |

Anthracite Fields: During the oratorio's first movement, "Foundation", the choir sings a long list of names — men who died in Pennsylvania's mining accidents between 1869 and 1916. The list is initially limited to men named John, and only those with short one-syllable surnames. According to the libretto, there are 298 of these names, listed alphabetically, from John Ace through to John Rudd — enough to last several minutes, even with two parts of the choir singing different sets of names at the same time. The movement ends with another list of 35 names - longer, more unusual names that illustrate how the dead miners came from many different nations and cultures. | |

In Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening we learn of a dwarven commander who rallied the Casteless dwarves (those so low on the dwarves' strict social ranking that they're not even considered people) to make a last stand against the monsters invading the city. A ghost/memory of him is shown carving the names of the fallen dwarves on to a stone table — he doesn't want them to be dismissed as "casteless" when they fought so bravely. It turns out to be his final act — he is killed as he engraves the stone. Your PC can retrieve the stone and entrust it to a dwarven ally, who returns it to the dwarven archives to be preserved for posterity. In one epilogue, the dwarves made a memorial honoring those casteless' heroism, elevating them to the Warrior Caste, and the Shaper of Memories said aloud every all of their names. In the original Dragon Age: Origins, there is a list (near the Anvil of the Void) of the dwarves who became golems. Their names are recorded because the golems are made by killing the dwarf in a nightmarish fashion and using their soul to power the golems — so they effectively "die" as dwarves, even if their soul is, arguably, still present. In the "Warden's Keep" DLC we learn of Sophia Dryden's revolt against the King of Ferelden that led to the Grey Wardens' expulsion from the country, including a list of all the Wardens who died in the defense of Soldier's Peak. |

Dwarf Fortress. You can look in your inventory menu to see how many deaths you've got, but you can also take a look at the Units tab and see the names of each and every one. In addition, everyone who dies during World Generation has a name, an occupation, a home and a list of places they've been to and people they've fought with. Knowing that your fortress is settling down on top of the Hills of Fallen Clocks, where over three hundred named Kobolds lost their lives in a one-man invasion by the Horned One Kvalach (who was eventually killed by the human Fish Dissector Aldon Brugh), is somewhat moving. | |

In Fallout 3, you have to explore Vault 87 as part of the story. Like all of the Vaults, this one was really a giant test chamber for Vault-Tec's experiments, and the people in it were subjected to them (in this case experimentation with the FEV virus). Unlike most of the Vaults, however, this one has a computer terminal with the names of everyone who died during the testing. And it goes on for several pages. | |

The Victors Project: Near the end of The Lumberjack and the Tree Elf, Blight remembers every single one of his fellow tributes, recalling their names and how they died. Cora is tortured by Snow for the names of rebels in District 8, but the people whose names she shouts at him aren't rebels, and are no longer among the living. Haymitch's chapter lists all 47 kids who died in the Second Quarter Quell, with various tidbits abut their lives, dreams, and talents. The last lines of the chapter reveal that no matter how drunk Haymitch gets every year, he can't forget a single one of their names. |

An inversion happens in the Stargate SG-1 episode "Heroes, Part 2": at Dr. Fraiser's funeral, Samantha Carter recites a list of people who are alive thanks to her, which is just about every SGC airman or employee at one time or another. | |

Arrivals from the Dark: In Fighters of Danwait, the mercenary Defenders have a tradition. Whenever one or more of their number are killed in battle, they are summoned to a large courtyard in front of the administrative building. The most respected of them recounts the events that led to the death(s) and then the List is announced, including the name of every Defender and his or her place of origin. In the novel, a particularly brutal ambush by the Dromi results in Defender casualties in the dozens. Despite the List being very long, everyone stands there in the courtyard and somberly listens to every name. | |

In the short Cradle Series fanfic The Personal is Political, Ozriel the Reaper writes down the name of every single person who dies to a world's corruption, especially those who he personally has to kill. He also constantly argues that these deaths could have been prevented if they would just share information between worlds (the classic example being stopping a plague by sharing the cure from another world). One time, he simply let the list roll out, filling the entire room until Makiel banished it. The counter-argument is that there is too great a risk of causing more damage. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Used at the end of "The Ship", when Sisko reads the list of those who were killed to Dax and reminisces about them. The posting of the weekly casualty report, a list of all the people killed or missing in the Dominion War, becomes a big deal in several episodes, even though the actual names are never read aloud. In "In the Pale Moonlight", having to post the casualty list each week is what eventually prompts Sisko to try to break the Romulans' treaty with the Dominion and bring them into the war, by any means necessary. Again in the episode "The Siege of AR-558" after a brutal battle on the front lines (which turns out to be a relatively light week in the overall war). |

In The Black Company, Croaker makes it a personal goal to record the passing of every company member in his books of the Annals. According to Croaker, this is one of the main purposes of the Annals — to have a record of the dead. The few times sections from older Annals are read aloud, they contain lists of the fallen. | |

But one name, John Dearheart, cycles permanently throughout the entire network, in the overhead where the signallers can read it. When asked why by an apprentice, the gaffer replies; "A man's not dead while his name's still spoken." | |

In The Flash (2014), Dr. Wells is confronted by a metahuman, who accidentally killed his friends with his new powers on the day of the particle accelerator explosion. Wells counters by listing off the names of his friends and half a dozen other people, who have died that day as a result of the explosion, pointing out that he has made a point of learning their names, so he would always remember the price for his arrogance. This is a little strange, as Wells/Thawne has shown that he cares little about the people who get hurt, claiming that all of them "have been dead for centuries", this may have been simply for the metahuman's benefit. | |

The dead are never forgotten in An Outcast in Another World. Multiple funerals are held throughout the story, dead friends are referenced as consistent sources of grief, and Riardin’s Rangers are named as such to honor their fallen. Eventually, the burden starts getting to the point that Rob begins to deliberately avert the trope, by refusing to learn any new names of people he is fighting alongside. | |

The Walking Dead (2010): There are a few of these in season 3. When trying to come up with a name for the baby Carl lists all the female characters who have died up to that point. Later Rick has a conversation over the phone with who he thinks is a group of other survivors, it turns out to be his hallucination of all the characters from his group who have died so far (except for Shane). In the first season episode "Guts", Rick finds the wallet of the Walker that they are chopping up to use as a disguise and takes a moment to say the guy's name and reflect on what sort of person he may have been. |

Inverted in another episode, when Hawkeye builds a replica of the Washington Monument out of tongue depressors (due to a clerical error, they received 500,000 of them instead of 5,000), with names of the wounded soldiers treated at the 4077th written on them. A PR man wants to use it as a recruitment tool back in the states, but Hawkeye blows it up rather than see it used that way. Subverted in an episode when Hawkeye has to deliver a eulogy for a nurse he had casually dated. He knew her name but absolutely nothing else about her. |

Superman tries to get Darkseid to understand this in Justice League (because Darkseid killed Dan Turpin during his attempt to overthrow Earth in Superman: The Animated Series) but Darkseid being who he is simply responds that he would have killed so many more if he knew it would set Superman so askew (in other words he doesn't want to know their names because it's not his style). | |

In The Wheel of Time, Rand Al'thor uses this as a Madness Mantra, reciting a long list of every woman he's killed, caused to die, led to their deaths, failed to save, happened to be around when they died...(Ironically the first two names on his list are actually not only still alive but survive the series as well.) | |

In the first episode of Kamen Rider OOO, the Ride Vendor Platoon are ordered to destroy the Greeed, and only their leader is definitely seen to have survived all the explosions (at least one other appears later and it's stated they still exist, but they might be different ones), however in the next scene in Kougami's office a list of names can be seen on a screen for a few seconds with terminated next to them, all having individual names. | |

Kimi No Na Iowa: Fleet Activities Yokosuka maintains a War Memorial with walls inscribed with the dead. This creepily illustrates the insanity of the abyssals in Chapter 31, where it is shown that they have a SAS-style clock tower that magically updates with the name of every non-American or non-Japanese victim that they sincerely regret the deaths of, even as they kill these people in droves as punishment for their nations being The Quisling and refusing to join them in destroying America and Japan. |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Daenerys Targaryen is haunted by the name of a goatherder's little daughter, Hazzea, who had been killed by one of her dragons. This prompts her to chain her dragons up beneath the Great Pyramid to stop them from hurting anyone else. Notably, in her final chapter in A Dance with Dragons, as a feverish and heartsick Dany is going through something of an identity crisis, she struggles to remember Hazzea's name: | |

In The Iliad, many characters appear and are named only to be added to someone's body count. There's a very good reason for this: while lost to modern readers, Ancient Greeks knew that any named combatant of that era was a champion trained for years by multiple instructors and supported by the work of multiple people just so they could fight in their stead, to the point that it was more convenient to just capture a defeated enemy and then ransom them back, and having them appear just to be killed served to make the reader realize the waste of human lives and the horror of that war. | |

In Avengers: Endgame, the city of San Francisco, during the Time Skip, built a memorial consisting of over a hundred marble slabs engraved with the names all those who died during the Blip. As it was billions of people, the memorial takes up several plots of land in Golden Gate Park, and it's not made clear if these are even all of the victims, or just those in California or the USA alone. Scott Lang, having been stuck in the Quantum Realm and missed all this, checks one of the slabs, terrified he'll find his daughter's name...and is shocked to find his own. In a Freeze-Frame Bonus, one of the names is "Stanley Lieber". | |

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, unusually for the series, gives nearly every NPC in the game a unique name. (What few exceptions exist are generic guards, Dreamers, and vampire cattle.) The games before and after instead give generic names like "Bandit" to these NPCs, making them feel more like adventuring fodder than people. | |

Saving Private Ryan: Captain Miller seems to recall the names of all his dead soldiers (although he sometimes needs a reminder from Sgt Horvath). Also notable is the fact that Ryan asks for and memorizes the names of the squad members who died trying to find him, an act which begins the process of The Squad accepting him. Inverted at one point in the film where the squad sorts through the dog tags of those KIA to see if Ryan is among them and make jokes about some of the names. Then they remember the dead men's squad members are walking right past them and stop. |

Memphis Belle: The group commander hands a folder full of copies he had written families to the reporter who implied that the commander didn't value the individual lives of his crews. As the reporter is reading them, the images of the screen indicate that many times 'he died quickly, and without pain' were Blatant Lies. An earlier scene averts this when just after the Windy City bomber explodes right in front the Memphis Belle, the crew are trying to remember the name of one of the crewmen who had been on the Windy City. It's especially hard when Clay says that "he can see that guy's face." |

Used in the Triptych Continuum, where one story shows Fluttershy has memorized the names of all the animals she's had to euthanize.

Shadwell made up a large number of fake Witchfinders in order to justify a larger budget for the organization (since their pay rates are centuries out of date), and they all have terrible names, such as Majors Saucepan, Tin, and Cupboard because Shadwell has no imagination.

Doctor Who: "Aliens of London"/"World War Three": The Doctor tries to find out the name of a minor character that he'd met very briefly (and whose death was not the Doctor's fault), while taking care of his corpse. When Harriet Jones, who had more interaction with the dead man, doesn't know either, the Doctor gently apologises to him, and makes do with at least arranging the body in a more dignified manner. (Though it's rather moot in the end, what with them blowing up the whole building, it was clearly meant as a respectful gesture at the time.) In a nice Continuity Nod, Harriet Jones makes a point of finding out the name of another minor character she interacts with in a later episode. "The Doctor Dances": When Jack Harkness calls Jamie, the first of the gas-mask zombies "the child", Nancy, Jamie's mother, declares, "Not the child, Jamie." "The Satan Pit" ends with the base commander making a log entry listing all the base personnel who have died. He even includes the Ood, who in life were so little-regarded they didn't even have names, and he doesn't just say "and all the Ood", he lists each of their ID numbers individually. "The Poison Sky": Greyhound 40's unit is ordered to stand against Sontarans and is killed. As his commander tries to get a response, the Doctor cuts him off with "He wasn't Greyhound 40, his name was Ross," and demands that he sound the retreat. Colonel Mace complies. "Midnight": After the Hostess sacrifices herself to save him, the Doctor is particularly devastated that none of the passengers knew her name. "The Vampires of Venice": The Doctor is absolutely furious that Rosanna didn't know Isabella's name, even though she murdered her. |

When Harry is thinking about getting over all skis with supernatural power and starting a war among the gods for the sake of rescuing beloved Carol, Joshua takes them to London's battle memorial stone and has Harry read him all the names of the fallen in the battle of the gods that took place there. Going by Harry being much more considerate of unintended consequences to potential bystanders in later chapters, it's very effective. | |

In Puella Magi Suzune Magica, Suzune wears a bell-and-pouch hairtie that is filled with paper strips that have the names of the magical girls she's killed written on them. She took over this practice, and the hairtie itself, from her mother figure, Tsubaki. | |

In the first act of Mr Burns: A Post-Electric Play, it's become common for survivors to write down the names of others they've encountered and compare notes upon meeting someone new to find out if anyone has seen their loved ones. In the third act, these lists of names have been incorporated into the play and are chanted by the chorus while Troy McClure soliloquizes about mortality. | |

JAGverse: After Jenny's death on NCIS, a star with her name is added to the commemorative display outside of MTAC. NCIS: Los Angeles featured the team trying to find an intelligence officer who had copied some classified data (although no one knew what he had copied). Everyone (including the FBI) assume he was trying to release information to discredit the military. The information was the names of soldiers who had died in classified missions in Afghanistan. The man, who was considered too valuable to be sent into combat, wanted to honor the men who were sent into danger by making sure others knew they'd given their lives for their country and weren't just anonymous casualty statistics. |

In the Grand Finale of Waking the Dead, Boyd is arrested and interviewed by the corrupt policeman responsible (directly or indirectly) for the torture and death of numerous homeless boys. Boyd says nothing in the interview, except to coldly list the name or nickname of every single one of them, knowing full-well that the interviewing policeman knows what he's talking about but nobody else does. Slightly subverted, however, as (to Boyd's irritation) not all of the boys were considered important enough at the time to have their names recorded: | |

In the Battlestar Galactica (2003) episode "Scar", after Kat bests the titular Raider and surpasses Starbuck as Galactica's "Top Gun", Starbuck pours Kat her ceremonial drink. Everyone expects a toast. She does, but instead of toasting Kat, Starbuck starts listing the callsigns of all the pilots who had perished thus far in the series. This is especially meaningful, as she had claimed earlier to Apollo that she couldn't even remember any of their names. Earlier in the same episode, Kat spends several minutes trying to remember the name of Reilly's girlfriend who died during the Cylon invasion of the Colonies. When Starbuck asks why she's bothering, considering Kat never even met the woman, Kat replies that it's important to remember those who've died. |

XCOM 2 brings the memorial function forward, and also allows the player to write an epitaph for each lost soldier, and with the War of the Chosen expansion, create a poster memorializing them that may appear in rebel settlements in-game. It also takes the step of giving every NPC on the battlefield a name, so if you're careless with AoE attacks during missions in urban areas, or fail to stop the aliens from murdering helpless civilians during a retaliation mission, you'll get a little "___ was killed!" notification to go with the death scream sound effect. | |

Flashpoint series finale: There's a brief scene of a daycare class walking into a building (complete with a squabble between two boys), and then, shortly thereafter, of a teacher bringing one of the boys back out to look for his blanket just as the building is bombed, killing one child and injuring another. Later in the same episode, Ed learns that his son Clark was in another building and is trapped under the rubble. He survives, but it's a terrifying moment for both of them. |

Kellen from The Obsidian Trilogy seems to try to fight against this. His war magic gives him the ability and the compulsion to lead the army and that requires him to use the soldiers at his command, knowing that many will die. But he's still human, and though his magic sped up his ascension through the ranks, he comes to personally know many of those that he would later command. He is able to put aside the names for the duration of the war, but it almost becomes too much for him by the end. | |

X-COM: XCOM: Enemy Unknown has a memorial in the barracks, listing the name, number of missions, and kills of any soldier KIA. This may be moot for some, however, since some players would realize that many of their soldiers would die quickly, and easily at one misstep and just enlist soldiers by the bucketfull. Well, that or rely on Save Scumming. Which has been taken a step further by fans who started a Facebook app where people can submit the names of those KIA for all to see. XCOM 2 brings the memorial function forward, and also allows the player to write an epitaph for each lost soldier, and with the War of the Chosen expansion, create a poster memorializing them that may appear in rebel settlements in-game. It also takes the step of giving every NPC on the battlefield a name, so if you're careless with AoE attacks during missions in urban areas, or fail to stop the aliens from murdering helpless civilians during a retaliation mission, you'll get a little "___ was killed!" notification to go with the death scream sound effect. |

A recurring theme in fernwithy's The End of the World series. Every tribute Haymitch mentored before Katniss and Peeta is named, and often gets some characterization. He and Effie make it a point to know the names of most if not all of the tributes from the other districts as well. At one point in The Golden Mean, Haymitch finds a street fair artist in the Capitol who went one better on that and is drawing pictures of his tributes, aged up the way they'd look if they were still alive, and had families, something that makes the impact of their loss a lot more real to both Haymitch (who was already pretty broken up over most of them) and the reader. | |

In Order 66, the fourth book of the Republic Commando Series, two of the Mandalorian sergeants responsible for training the special forces clone commandos gather to recite the names of every commando who fell over the past two years at barracks. It's over five thousand names. The scene becomes rather touching when, slowly at first then in larger numbers, the off-duty clones join in the recitation of the names of their lost comrades. It's made rather clear that this is all the memorial the clones can expect, as few civilians genuinely care about the helmet-masked faceless forces, and even fewer know their names. The Mandalorian commanders didn't just do that to show that they remembered. They did it out of a cultural obligation, where they couldn't forget the names of their 'family'. None of them, given the choice to forget, could have accepted it. | |

Spec Ops: The Line: Despite gleefully indulging in every other You Bastard! trope in existence, this trope gets parodied during a Sniping Mission in Chapter 12, where Delta Squad are headed towards the Radioman and killing everyone in his way. The Radioman tries to make Walker feel guilty about the men he's killing ("You shot that guy? I liked that guy!") but it quickly becomes clear that Radioman doesn't know very much about the victims either, and ends up rooting for Delta Squad. In a way, it ends up making the player feel even worse. This is played straight however to a surreal effect earlier in the game; After Delta Squad finds the burnt remains of Konrad's command team, they are surrounded by walls scrawled with the names of Damned 33rd soldiers that died in Dubai. Adams and Lugo are also on that list. |

Dr. STONE: Tsukasa lists off the names of a number of his dead men. Hyoga doesn't recognize them. Tsukasa says they are the ones who died in the poison fog—the ones who (though Tsukasa doesn't know it) Hyoga threw into the fog to test if it was really poison. While he never had a chance to remember their actual names, Tsukasa also remembers every single stone statue he destroyed. Since they were all petrified and could potentially be revived, he was under no illusions that he was murdering them. He is able to tell the others where the pieces are so that Yuzuriha can piece them back together and revive them after all. |

In the Village Tales series of novels, these names are omnipresent and oft-remembered, and not only on the War Memorial in each village and on Remembrance Sunday. The Rector for example thinks of his predecessors listed on the incumbents' board in the parish church all the time, seeing himself as a steward for the next one and trustee for all who went before: and regards them as the war dead of the Church Militant. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Lower Decks", Picard makes a shipwide announcement about an ensign who was lost and presumed killed in the line of duty. Also in "The Best of Both Worlds Part II" when the Enterprise arrives at Wolf 359 after the battle and Shelby starts listing the dead starships by name. |
