Sometimes a Red Baron can have very specific nickname or title that compares them to some kind of weapon, often to their weapon. Large Ham badasses or similar people will like to announce this right after yelling their real name, especially during My Name Is Inigo Montoya moment. Swords are the most popular weapon to call heroes after, followed by axes, hammers (both are the most popular among dwarves in standard High Fantasy worlds) and daggers. A Super Hero can name themself after a weapon and many bizarre combinations including some kind of it were common during the Dark Age of Supernames. For more cool and magnificence, one can be given the name/nickname of Stock Weapon Names, such as Excalibur or Kusanagi. A subtrope of The Magnificent and Red Baron. The inverse of I Call It "Vera", when a weapon is given a personal name akin to people. |

A silly example from Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn: a mercenary hitman in Nabban carries so many knives about his person and is so fond of threatening people with them that his nickname is "Ave Stetto" (lit. I have a knife). When he pulls this number on Duke Isgrimnur, he finds out the hard way that mere possession of a knife is insufficient to threaten a grizzled veteran. | |

In the D&D parody The Intercontinental Union of Disgusting Characters, the heroine is named Sick Sword. Confusingly, her sentient broadsword is named The Sick Sword. The sequels take this ball and run with it, with characters (and their respective weapons) named Disgusting Sword, Ridiculous Sword, Gross Sword, and Unbelievable Sword. |

The main character of Claymore belongs to an order of warrior women, whose members are known to the common people as Claymores after the great swords they wield. However, Clare informs Raki that this is merely a nickname bestowed by others, and they only ever refer to themselves as "warriors". Raki is actually able to recognize an impostor based on the fact that she refers to herself as a Claymore, which a real warrior would never do. | |

Kamen Rider Saber uses sword-based Theme Naming, and every Rider is named after a sword or other bladed weapon. There's the titular Saber, Blades (no relation to the above-mentioned Kamen Rider Blade), Espada, Kenzan ("sword slash"), Slash, Calibur, Sabela,note "saber" feminized with an "a" and a pun on the sabera genus of butterfly; though also with a Japanese Ranguage R/L swap Durendal, and Falchion. Saber is in fact a two-fer, as in kanji it's written as sei ba, meaning "holy blade". The odd one out is Kamen Rider Buster, though his name is generally assumed to be a kid-friendly substitute for "bastard sword" (helped by the fact that he wields a blade of that style), a reference to the Buster Sword of Final Fantasy VII, or both. Kamen Riders Solomon and Storius are also aversions, but they kitbashed their powers together and didn't keep the sword theme of the others in doing so. Played with by Kamen Rider Saikou, whose name is a pun on the Japanese words for "greatest light" and "the best" instead of being sword-based; but it still qualifies in context as Saikou is the name of his sword, and he takes his sword's name as his own. |

Orgrim Doomhammer of Warcraft lore, named (or namer of) his infamous weapon. According to the novels, the hammer is actually a family heirloom, passed down from father to son. Only the current wielder can bear the name Doomhammer. Since Orgrim has no children, after his death, the weapon is passed on to Thrall, the new warchief of the Horde. He does not adopt the name, though. | |

In the comic continuation of Gargoyles, Brooklyn's mate, from the Ishimura clan in Japan, is named Katana. Gargoyles as a species used to not use individual names, and when they take them on in the present they tend to be chosen by their bearers based on local landmarks or given to them by others based on their personal or physical qualities. In Katana's case, her clan holds "naming ceremonies" where names are bestowed, and she presumes her elders saw certain qualities in her that she shared with the weapon—though she makes a point of stating that while she accepted the name, she does not let it define her. | |

The main bosses of Super Mario RPG are weapon-based. Mack isn't directly named after his theme (it's a reference to "Mack the Knife"), but the others are Bowyer, Yaridovich ("yari" being Japanese for "spear"), and the Axem Rangers. The remake changes Mack's name to Claymorton, which now follows this trope. | |

Kamen Rider Sasword (a portmanteau of "sasori" ("scorpion") and "sword") from Kamen Rider Kabuto; like Blade, his real name fits this trope as well: Tsurugi Kamishiro, which roughly translates as "the sword that replaces the gods." | |

In The Wheel of Time, Zarine Bashere goes by Mandarb — "Blade" in the Old Tongue — during her stint as a Glory Seeking Hunter for the Horn. Abruptly zig-zagged when Perrin introduces her to a horse with the same name and she hastily chooses a new one. | |

Laevatein, from Fire Emblem Heroes, named after the sword of the same name in keeping with the game's Norse Mythology theme. Interestingly, the sword she wields is also called Laevatein - it is ambiguous which is named after which In-Universe. This makes it a very Meaningful Name - she sees herself and the blade as one and the same, and her character arc concerns her starting to see herself less as a weapon and more as a person with a will and moral compass of her own. | |

The Elder Scrolls: In Morrowind and Oblivion, the Legendary Weapon Umbra is a powerful but cursed sword which steals the souls of its victims, and tends to possess its owners, resulting in them becoming obsessed with the sword and adopting its name as their own. They become Blood Knights who seek out strong opponents. If they win, the sword claims the soul of a new victim. If they lose, the sword finds a new and stronger host... The Player Character can, of course, use it as much as they like without consequence. | |

Pokémon has several, besides the Sword and Axe examples above: Scyther, as well as its evolutions Scizor and Kleavor. Beedrill's Japanese name is simply "Spear". Speaking of spears, Spearow. And speaking of Beedrill... Beedrill. Also Drilbur and its evolution Excadrill. Octillery, Magmortar, Sharpedo, Clauncher and Clawitzer, Arrokuda, and Dragapult are named for various projectile weapons. Cubone, who is Bad with the Bone. Shieldon and Shelmet are named for armor. Bombirdier, whose name is based on its actions as a bombardier. Not with actual bombs, but the rocks it does use are bad enough. |

The entire playable cast of Girls' Frontline are named after the firearm they're Imprinted with. This is invoked in-universe, as the CEO of Griffin & Kryuger mandates T-Dolls under their employ to be identified that way. Many of them previously have "normal", more human names (DP-12 used to call herself Helena, LWMMG is known as Lam in the prequel, etc). SPAS-12 defies this, as she personally asked the Commander to call her Sabrina. | |

Spike on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Originally it was said because he used railroad spikes to torture his victims. We later find out that was because someone said that he would rather have a rail spike driven through his head than listen to any of William's (Spike's pre-vamp name) poetry. After he was turned he gave the guy his wish. His other moniker of William the Bloody on the other hand is actually a reference to his "bloody awful poetry", a fact that was apparently lost to vampire biographers. | |

In the first episode of Shakugan no Shana, Shana claims to not have any specific name, mentioning that she is typically referred to by the name of her sword, the Nietono no Shana. Hence, Yuji decides to call her Shana. Parodied in one Shana Abridged episode (the 2nd episode of the series): Ironically, if Yuji really is Japanese he would not have left the "-no" part in since that is a particle and would make no sense without the "Shana" part. Also, precisely because "Nietono" is more Japanese that he didn't choose it because then all the Japanese would be saying "Who the hell gave her such a bizarre name?" That's besides the point though. |

Technoblade was often called by the nickname "The Blade", which doubles as the latter half of his screen name and Minecraft IGN. Considering he was renowned for his PVP skills in the Minecraft community, this was understandable, and the nickname crossed over to the personas he played on SMPEarth and the Dream SMP (well, it did in the latter, until character-Technoblade decided the nickname was dehumanizing and failed to tell other characters to no longer call him that). | |
