Tom the Dark Lord	comment	When a character who's evil doesn't have a particularly evil-sounding name. While generally Played for Laughs, this can also be used to chilling effect in combination with tropes such as From Nobody to Nightmare and/or Paranoia Fuel. Tom the Dark Lord sometimes goes hand in hand with Embarrassing First Name, but not always. Bonus points if it manages to be meaningful or ironic. Contrast with Names to Run Away from Really Fast, which is about evil people with Obviously Evil names. Also contrast Louis Cypher, which are names that indicate someone is a/the devil; these may include a normal first name (especially a variant of Lou/Lucy or Nick) but overall are not normal names because they're too much of a pun. Note that for an example to count, the mundanity of the name must be jarring to a degree. Whether it be with the setting (e.g: A fantastic setting where all the characters are wizards with names like Gortyna, Argus or Spyridon and featuring an Evil Sorcerer simply called Fred) or with the nature of the villain (e.g: A terrifying Serial Killer covered in scars and deformities, who's overly tall and burly and reputed for killing hundreds...and his name is Jimmy). If an example is the latter, there's a good chance it will be brought up at some point in the story, often for comedy. Otherwise, a normal human having a normal name, regardless how evil he is, isn't noteworthy. A common justification of this trope is that the villain used to be a regular human in the past. In this case they may end up picking a new name, as the Trope Namer did in Harry Potter. See also, Demon of Human Origin. A Sub-Trope of Ominous Mundanity. See also Fluffy the Terrible, which is about vicious animals and beasts with cutesy names. Compare Special Person, Normal Name. Not to be confused with Ron the Death Eater, although that can lead to this in fan works, and also not to be confused with Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds, although there's a possibility of overlap. noreallife

The story changes Cinder Fall's name to make "Cinder" an alias. In this story, Cinder is a ruthless and sadistic mob boss who is feared throughout Vale. Her name alone is enough to strike fear into people's hearts. Well, her alias at least. She has taken great precautions to make sure no one knows what her real name is to cover her tracks. Her real name? Kenna Carter. She isn't ashamed of the name, but she knows it's dangerous for her to make it known. Salem also counts. "Salem" is an alias and she is human in this story. Her real name is Emily Carter. She was Cinder's mother and predecessor as a mob boss. She was ruthless and taught Cinder everything she needed to know to be a mobster. When she recognized that Cinder was a sadistic child, she decided to test it by letting her kill her own father. She also molested her daughter, something that still angers Cinder.

Tom the Dark Lord / int_3b34143f	comment	Harry Potter: The Trope Namer is Voldemort, whose real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle (of which "I am Lord Voldemort" is an anagram). He hates his real name, partly because it's common (something his ego can't tolerate — even as a child he reacted negatively to the fact that he shared the name Tom with other people) and partly because it's his Muggle father's name. Dumbledore naturally makes a point of always calling him Tom to his face, while Harry calls him Riddle in their final confrontation. Many of the Death Eaters have very pedestrian-sounding names, like Peter Pettigrew (although everyone calls him "Wormtail"), Barty Crouch Jr. (though his legal name is technically "Bartemius"), Evan Rosier, Wilkes, Avery.

Tom the Dark Lord / int_3e8c09b9	comment	Attack on Titan's Isayama seems to be rather fond of these as the villains of each arc continue have more and more mundane names. The living legend known to have killed slaughtered over a hundred Military Policemen, the man who taught Levi how to fight, and the leader of the Anti-Human Suppression Squad goes by Kenny. His boss, the ruler of humanity and the man responsible for their enslavement within the walls is named Rod. The mastermind behind the collapse of the walls, Annie, Bertholt, and Reiner's superior, and the man plotting extinction of everyone within the walls is called Zeke. The final enemy that kickstarts the Rumbling? Eren. However, this is likely purposely done to humanize these characters, as their backgrounds show that they are not quite the monsters they appear to be.

Tom the Dark Lord / int_42c88f31	comment	The Floor Master of Chapter 3-1 in Your Turn to Die can be named by the player, but his default rename option is "Midori". While not an exceedingly common Japanese name, it literally translates to "green", which is the color of his hair. This trope also applies to his real name, Sou Hiyori, which is rather simple as well. However, despite his simple name, he is revealed to be responsible for much of the suffering that the cast goes through and is easily the cruelest of the floor masters. Since the player has control over what he'll be called in the game, this can be invoked as well. You could literally name him "Tom."note There's even room to put in "Tom the Dark Lord."

Using his own mortal name is both a sign of wanting to remain human and a symbol of the shackles he's shattered in the way... that and he despised the other names he got, with special hatred for Herbertus.

The characters are monsters hiding under children's bed and in their closet, but behind this, they are all Punch-Clock Villains who live in a monster society just like humans, and all of them have human names.

His mother claims that she named him this because he is a hybrid and melons have traits of both fruits and vegetables, but he realized she was lying and really named him this because of her desire to eat him, so he killed her remorselessly before she could do so.

Tom the Dark Lord / int_805343cd	comment	Virtually all of the villainous characters in the Despicable Me movies: Felonious Gru, the Villain Protagonist of the main films. His first name does sound like something a villain would have, but you wouldn't know that he even had a first name since he's only ever referred to as "Gru". However, he actually subverts (if not inverts) this trope as Gru performs a Heelâ€“Face Turn over the course of the first film. There are also his minions who, though the "evil" part is questionable, all have normal sounding names such as Kevin, Stuart, Bob, Dave, etc. Vector, the actual Big Bad from the first film whose real name is Victor Perkins. El Macho in the second one, whose real name is Edwardo Perez. Balthazar Bratt from the third. Neither are particularly common but they're still average sounding names for a supervillain. From Minions, Scarlett Overkill actually averts this with a legitimate evil-sounding name.

Captain Kirk is ordered to track him down and kill him. The Reveal midway into the film is that "John Harrison" is actually an alias for Khan Noonien Singh, and that Kirk's boss, Admiral Marcus, is trying to play them both against each other as part of a plot to start a war with the Klingon Empire. Star Trek Beyond plays with the trope, with Krall's original name being revealed as Balthazar Edison. While Balthazar is an unusual name, it's not unheard of in the western world, being the name of one of the Three Wise Men.

As a bonus, the head researcher of the company is also called Dr. Huesca, and he turns out to be among the absolute most villainous characters in the game, but certainly not to the extent of the evil-sounding Yomi.

Despite having a name less intimidating than his superior's in Enies Lobby (Spandam), he is the greatest threat in the arc and nearly defeats Luffy. One of Emperor Kaido's three top henchmen, the Lead Performers, a man so destructive his nickname is "The Drought" for how he destroys whole lands, and who had the highest bounty in the series at that point at one billion berries. His name? Jack. Granted, it's part of a Theme Naming with his fellow Calamities, Queen and King, all of whom are named after card values (just like Kaido's ally Joker, aka Donquixote Doflamingo), but this wasn't obvious at the time of Jack's introduction. Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, a queen whose hands are drenched in blood, including the killing of her own family when they fail her, a gigantic powerhouse with an insatiable appetite who was killing Giants at the age of five. Her name: Charlotte Linlin (Linlin Charlotte in western order). Whitebeard, the World's Strongest Man and pirate who was second only to Gol D. Roger, was named Edward Newgate.

Although that is mostly because he managed to slip under the radar due to a little mixup — the kid whom the forces of Heaven and Hell thought was the Anti-Christ ended up named "Warlock" thanks to some very persuasive satanic nuns. The nun who named Adam was forced to invoke this trope, since she was really trying to give him either a 'satanic' name or an American name (long story), but she was only giving suggestions to the father. After the father vetoed her original ideas, she then suggested Adam.

His name was never mentioned in the first season, but we had met plenty of his children, who had cool and exotic names, mostly derived from French, Latin, and German. Then the second season rolled around, and in the second episode, we finally found the Emperor's name: the very normal Charles. Curiously, this doubles as Names to Run Away from Really Fast, since "Charles the Great" is another name for the Frankish emperor better known as Charlemagne.

In real-life mythology, the name's etymology is unknown- it may be a corruption of "the Devil Jonah", or derived from a Welsh sea god called Dewi. In-universe, it just happens to be his name. For another example, Davy's sadistic bo'sun is named Jimmy Legs.

Starlight Glimmer, a fairly standard pony name. But she's got a pretty impressive rap sheet: in the season five premiere, she runs a cult based around convincing (or forcing) ponies to give up their cutie marks, which define who they are and their purpose in life. Then in the season five finale, she uses a time-travel spell to stop Rainbow Dash's first Sonic Rainboom (which is what got Twilight Sparkle and her friends their cutie marks), accidentally creating a series of Bad Futures where previous villains took over Equestria. Starlight's tatical skills gave her the upperhand in the entire situation that Twilight, the Princess of Friendship, was only able to beat her by talking her into a Heelâ€“Face Turn. In the season eight finale, the villain responsible for draining Equestria's magic and locking the main heroes of the series in Tartarus is Cozy Glow.

Tom the Dark Lord / int_ce50887e	comment	Many villains from Dragon Ball have funny Punny Names, mostly after food. Lampshaded by Lunch, when we learn about the Great Demon King named Piccolo (named after the small flute). We later learn that it's Namekian for "another world", so he was the "Great Demon King From Another World", which implies that he subconsciously was aware of his extraterrestrial origin even without realizing it. The American fans know the villain who destroyed Planet Vegeta as Frieza. It's not this trope, unless you know that's just his name in the English dub. In the Japanese dub, he's mainly known as "Freeza" or "Freezer" (the latter also in German and French). It still sounds evil, but the meaning of his name is just laughable. The strongest villain of the manga is Majin Buu, named after the phrase Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo. (Bibidi and Babidi are two related characters, namely his former masters) The first of the three main villains in Dragon Ball GT is named Baby. He is not as pathetic as he sounds.

Tom the Dark Lord / int_e7a27429	comment	In The Bridge it's zig-zagged. Godzilla Junior is The Dreaded to his enemies whom often refer to him as just "Godzilla". But to his allies and himself, the King of the Monsters and terror to his enemies is just "Junior". Thankfully he turns out to just be a Horrifying Hero.

His current name is the suitably eldritch-sounding Az'kerash, but it is quickly revealed that his true name before he started his reign of terror was the very normal Perril Chandlerâ€¦ but then again, his (few) friends already shortened Perril as "Peril".

Tom the Dark Lord / int_ebc16974	comment	The final boss of Street Fighter IV is named Seth. Like Seymour above, it's a religious reference that sounds exotic in Japan, but to English speakers it just sounds silly unless they know Egyptian Mythology (especially compared to "Akuma", "Sagat", or "M. Bison"). Helping somewhat is that it's also a reference to Promoted Fanboy Seth Killian.

While that's an uncommon name, it is still a very human one. Probably a Shout-Out to Ridley Scott, as Alien was clearly an influence on the Metroid series, and Ridley himself is a Xenomorph Xerox.

Angel's sire forgot her real name a long time ago, but unlike Angel or Spike, the alias she currently uses isn't particularly intimidating: Darla. Adam, the Big Bad of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's fourth season, also counts. Though it's a bit more intimidating if you know the context. There's also demon antagonist "Skip" in Angel.

Tom the Dark Lord / int_fbf8acc	comment	In The Cabin in the Woods, a number of terrifying monsters could be used to kill the teens, depending on which artifact in the basement they used, and the control team even had a betting pool on which one it would be. Among the entries who had typical horror movie monster names, one was simply named Kevin, perhaps to include an element of Nothing Is Scarier. When pressed about Kevin at a con, Joss Whedon had to improvise a description, and described him as a "sweet, harmless-looking guy who could exsanguinate you in seconds." Some have taken this as a reference to We Need to Talk About Kevin.
