Tomboyish Name | comment |
Basically, a girl or woman has a boy's name (or nickname). Frequently used to indicate some form of masculinity, boyishness or spunk in the character. If the name is a nickname, she may insist only on being called this name and resent being addressed by her "real" name. If not, expect the character to be very feminine and lament her name. One commonly offered explanation for a girl having one is that her parents Wanted a Son Instead. Many Japanese names are equally appropriate for men and women; tomboyish characters will frequently have one of these. At least two characters named "Megumi" were once boys, for example. If the character is appearing for the first time, the others may have Pronoun Trouble, where everyone expects this Charlie Somebody person to be a guy, and are surprised when she isn't. This can become An Aesop if said Charlie Somebody is in a traditionally male-oriented profession; for instance, the Step by Step episode where J.T. immediately dismisses female mechanics, before handing his car over to "Sam", who is apparently the best mechanic in town. The message can quickly get Anvilicious if done more than once in a series. Sometimes a variation of the Embarrassing First Name. It can potentially lead to Actually, I Am Him, and a good way to help disguise the fact that Samus Is a Girl until the right moment. The Super-Trope is Gender-Blender Name. Related to Moustache de Plume, when a woman writer adopts a masculine Pen Name. This is a language-dependent trope: it's rather common in languages like English, but in others, it is impossible to do. For example, in Spanish most names have explicit masculine and feminine forms (and those that don't are either exclusively male or exclusively female), so this trope can't be used without it becoming extremely strained, to say the least. In Real Life, it's possible for this trope to happen because of changing times, with names that had once been reserved for one gender becoming unisex (names like Taylor, Alex, Charlie, Avery, etc) or becoming associated with another gender entirely.note For example, the names Leslie and Lindsay were once completely male names, but became unisex in the latter half of the twentieth century. They are still officially unisex names, though in modern times both names are more commonly given to girls. One genre that is RIPE with this trope involves shows where a female is in an occupation that is typically considered a man's job (female cops, firefighters, soldiers, etc.). One of the most common is contrasting the incredibly girly Mackenzie with the very masculine nickname Mack. |

Sherlock: In this BBC series, John Watson's sister is called Harry. Having learned her name and the fact that she used to be married to a woman, Sherlock makes an almost-accurate series of deductions regarding John's "brother". John then reveals that "Harry" is short for "Harriet". | |

It's never commented on, but Beldaran in the prequels of the Belgariad. To explain it comes in two parts. The male disciples of the god Aldur get the prefix "Bel", meaning beloved, attached to their names, while female disciples get the feminine form "Pol". Secondly, the name without the prefix, "Daran", is used by her son and several of her descendants as a perfectly serviceable masculine name. | |

One of Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy's playable characters is the tomboyish Et, short for Etward. As a child, she decided her little brother's name was better and forced him to switch with her. The fact that this typifies his relationship with her and he grew up as Enna (short for Ennarcia) is only the start of the poor kid's problems. | |

Angel: Winifred "Fred" Burkle. In one episode, her name causes an old guy in Angel's body to mistake Angel for gay. Refreshingly, Fred is not sassy or conspicuously empowered (that role is taken by a character named Cordelia, itself an inversion of this trope). Doyle's ex-wife is also called Harriet, but nicknamed 'Harry'. |

If you heard the name "AJ," you wouldn't expect a cute young woman to come skipping out, would you? AJ fits the trope by being notably different from the standard WWE Diva in that she is seemingly sweet and innocent but enjoys traditionally boy things like comic books and video games, in addition to be a damn good wrestler who has been way into wrestling since childhood. ("AJ," of course, comes from her real name of April Jeanette.) There's another AJ in professional wrestling but that one is male. | |

Alex D from Deus Ex: Invisible War. The name is purposefully ambiguous so that the player can choose to play a male or female character without needing voice actors to re-record their lines with a different player name. | |

Extras: Somewhat parodied where Andy Millman goes to Ian Mackellen to audition for his new play. It ends up being a play about homosexual loves, something that is not apparent to him until "Fran" is revealed to be a man. Everyone in the audition room other than Mackellen and Andy appear to have tomboyish names if they are female or girl names if they are male. Things get ridiculous when one of the women in the room is referred to as "George". | |

Star Trek: Discovery: Michael Burnham. While fans have initially speculated that, in the future, the name may have migrated to being gender-neutral, Michael's friend and roommate states that it's not a very common girls' name. No one else finds the name weird, especially since most people have heard of it due to Burnham being a well-known mutineer. | |

Scrubs: Elliot Reid, named after her father who wanted a boy. But let's not also forget that J.D. usually ends up sleeping with girls with androgynous names, including Alex, Dani, Jamie, Jordan and Kim. Might have something to do with the "lanyards" he made with his bunkmate at summer camp. Elliot accuses another doctor of copying her because she, Veronica, starts going by the nickname Ronnie. JD's original name was Joanna for the first three years of his life, as his parents were expecting a girl, and couldn't think of a proper boy's name for a while. While his name was changed to John, many of the jokes about him are about how stereotypically girly he is. |

There's a very boyish-looking girl named Edward on Cowboy Bebop, a very odd person who chose her own name (in full: Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV). According to her father, her real name is Françoise, which is nearly an androgynous name—it's exclusively female, but easily confused with its male counterpart François unless you know how French pronunciation works. Then again, her father is a bit unhinged and thought she was a boy when he was re-introduced to her. | |

Chromie from World of Warcraft is a bronze dragon whose preferred lesser form is a female gnome. While most female bronze dragons have names ending in "ormi" her full name is Chronormu, and "ormu" is the ending associated with male bronze dragons. This led many to speculate that she was in fact a male dragon who preferred to take female shape (which, given the game, would be wholly appropriate) but Word of God eventually clarified that she just had a tomboyish name. | |

A semi-tomboyish name starts all the trouble in Euro Trip: The protagonist Scotty freaks out when his German pen-pal Mika Mieke comes on to him. Scotty reacted poorly because he thought Mika Mieke was a male name (along the lines of Mike/Michael), but it's actually a female name, roughly equivalent to Michelle. Scotty's German is also bad enough that he can't tell between masculine and feminine tenses. His younger brother, who's taking Intro to German, is quickly able to set him straight. | |

At which point Vyv smashes a bottle over Rick's head.note Vyvyan and Vivian are used for males as well as females in Great Britain. The military hero and politician Chaim Herzog, originally from Ireland, was given the parallel name Vivian in the British army because his superiors could not pronounce Chaim (both names mean "life"). | |

In The Sims video game, any sim can be given any name, so girls can be given boyish names and boys can be given girly names. Some of the premade tomboys have more masculine names, too. (I.E. The sorority in The Sims 3 has a level 10 female jock named Ashley DeSorrento) Boyd and Blair Wainwright are a premade example of a father and daughter with surnames as their first names, and there are female sims with such names as Tuesday Sears and Autumn Cusack and Sunny Bakshi. | |

And then there's Corrine, the summon spirit in Symphonia. Corrine is typically a female name, and the spirit itself has a high-pitched, feminine voice. However, there are some instances Corrine is referred to as male, as well as taking into account that Corrine would eventually become Verius, who is definitely male in name and voice. This is even more confusing as what Corrine's relation to Verius is never agreed upon in Symphonia's many iterations as sometimes Corrine is a different persona from Verius and could potentially be female when Verius is male, or Corrine is Verius where Corrine could have been too young (in voice) to pass as a young male rather than outright female. | |

Parley from Gunnerkrigg Court's first name is George. She's deeply embarrassed by this name, although there's a pretty good story behind it. Mainly, her father is a psychic and he filled the birth certificate beforehand. He got everything right except the gender, but they found it so funny that they decided to keep it as is. She's also fairly tomboyish, as she's introduced handing a random student his ass with a zweihander. Not to mention all the roughhousing she does with Andrew. | |

In Paradox Bound, as a young boy, Eli encounters a strange-looking kid named Harry, who drives off in a customized Ford Model A. As a teen, Eli once encounters Harry, but then is shocked when Harry happens to bend over, and he gets a good look down his shirt and sees a pretty nice pair of boobs. Then he starts to notice other things he glossed over, such as hip movements and feminine facial features. Yes, "Harry" is short for "Harriet", although she prefers Harry. She later admits that he assumed she was a boy not just because he's inattentive. She deliberately dresses in masculine clothing, especially since for much of American history, a woman traveling alone might be in danger. | |

Arguably, Saavik in the Star Trek movies: there was a definite pattern to Vulcan names in TOS (men are called Spock, Sarek, Surak etc.; women are called T'Pau, T'Pring, T'Lar etc.) and she had a name that fitted the male pattern (since then, we've seen Vulcans whose names don't fit either pattern, but at the time...). The character was originally conceived of as male, and wasn't switched to a woman until later drafts. They kept the name, though. The EU explained her name as being of Romulan origin (referring to a cat analogue) rather than Vulcan — the character was written to be half-Romulan in the script, but it wasn't stated on screen. | |

Subverted in Recess with Spinelli, a tomboy who goes by her last name because she's embarrassed about her "girly" first name, Ashley. It's especially "girly" on this show because there's a club consisting entirely of Alpha Bitch girls with this name (who seem to equate the name with popularity), and one episode was about the consequences when the Ashleys found out her real name and forced her to join their club. Ironically, Ashley was once considered a boy's name (such as in Gone With the Wind), and some well-known guys do have Ashley as a name (like Ashley Cole). Sometimes, they go by "Ash". | |

True to the trope entry, he experiences Pronoun Trouble when he opens the door and discovers that his guest is a girl named Danni. Come to think of it, Veronica's nickname also fits this trope, as "Ronnie" can be short for "Ronald" and she also gets called "Ron" sometimes. Subverted in that she is a huge Girly Girl. Veronic's best friend Elizabeth is better known by her equally feminine nickname, "Betty", but is a tomboyish Wrench Wench. |

Inverted in the Viridian Gym in the Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions, with male trainers named Arabella and Bonita. The female protagonist of Crystal is called "Kris", which sounds like "Chris". It's never specified in the games if this is short for anything, though a few adaptations put it as short for "Crystal". Kris also happens to be a kind of knife. |

Power Rangers Operation Overdrive had Ronny, short for Veronica. Ironically enough, Roni (pronounced the same way) is a gender neutral name that tends towards feminine in Hebrew, though towards masculine in literally any other language. | |

Yuugi Hoshiguma from Touhou Project. The name means "a game", as in chess or go (or cards), and it has a masculine tone to it. She looks and acts masculine too, and in fan works is usually contrasted against the girly Green-Eyed Monster Parsee for effect. Shou Toramaru. Not only is her given name masculine, her surname uses a male suffix! |

This was actually a plot point in the final case of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All. A female character is accused of murder when the hired gun who did the killing names her as his client. He makes a crucial mistake when he claims that he met his client in person and calls the client a "he". The woman has a masculine name (Adrian Andrews). Phoenix points out that if the killer had actually met Adrian in person, he would've called her a "she". Even her Japanese name, Kamia Kyrio, invokes this. In Dual Destinies, this is invoked too, with Robin Newman, a girl who has been raised her entire life as a boy. |

Bridge to Terabithia's lead female is a tomboy with Boyish Short Hair called Leslie. The book was written in the 1970s when Leslie was more common as a boys' name, and didn't take off as a name for girls until a decade later. To further blur the line, the leading male is called Jess. It's probably for the above reason that the film adaptation (taking place in 2007) de-emphasises Leslie's tomboy nature. | |

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman: "Doctor Mike", a.k.a. Dr. Michaela Quinn. There's actually a purpose to this, though. The writers felt it was necessary to explain why the townspeople accept the woman who is coming to be their doctor: they thought she was a man. Communication being what it was, her name was telegraphed to them, as telegraphs were, with no spaces, upper and lower cases, or punctuation. They're expecting "Michael A. Quinn". If her name had been Alice, or something, the viewer is meant to presume they would have cabled back saying "Forget it." | |

Ariel (pronounced as the more masculine R-E-L rather than Air-E-L) from Drowtales, ironically, she is sent to a boys school (because of exceptional circumstances) and one of her (male) classmates is more effeminate than her. Also, it later turns out she is blessed with shape shifting abilities, so she could basically be anything, though her attempt to do "something interesting" and make herself physically male with them didn't work. There's also Chrys'tel, who's usually just called Chrys, but only by human standards. She's not particular tomboyish, however. |

Black Sails: It's not stated if Max is a nickname (say for Maxine) but she's also a very assertive, bold young woman in a way that would have been deemed very unfeminine then (not that pirates care about the conventional mores), though she still has a very feminine style in her appearance. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Applejack. It sounds like she has a boy's name, which led to a considerable amount of gender confusion back in G1 where she had a low pitched voice. Rainbow Dash's name sounds feminine, but is often shortened to just "Dash", which sounds somewhat masculine. |

The case of Ao Ohtori from I=MGCM is a double whammy. While Japanese gives babies of all genders names associated with the color blue, the noun form "Ao" is nearly exclusively used for boys while girls tend to be given the adjective form "Aoi." On the kanji side of things, è’¼ is one of the more popular kanji choices for boys. This of course fits a girl who is undeniably a Tomboy who is not comfortable with the usual gender stereotypes. | |

Power Rangers S.P.D. really ran with this. Of the two primary female rangers on the show, one is "Z" (short for Elizabeth) and one is "Syd" (short for "Sydney"). They were a rather tough Tomboy and Girly Girl duo (with Z as the Tomboy and Syd as the Girly Girl), in some cases tougher than the boys, and Z is extremely tomboyish, Mama Bear regarding Sam the future Omega Ranger issues aside. On the A-squad, the end credits reveal its Red Ranger, female, to be named Charlie, and she's tougher still. Kat Manx, by contrast, was the team's engineer and avoided direct combat unless forced. | |

Jagged Mind: P Protagonist Billie has one. She's a lesbian with a mildly tomboyish style. It's not said if it's short for something else (e.g. Wilhelmina). Alex also has a gender-neutral name. Although Alex has a more feminine style, she is also aggressive and violent. |

One of the oldest examples is Ryuunosuke Fujinami from Urusei Yatsura. Also one of the original Bifauxnen and a Wholesome Crossdresser to boot. As a rule, -suke is masculine, it's almost like -son (Jacobson, etc.) in English, whilst Ryuu is written with the characters for "dragon", an exclusively male name in Japanese — her name literally translates as "Dragon's Son", one of the most macho boy's names in Japanese. This is due to the fact her father is one of the most extreme examples of Wanted a Son Instead in fiction — he forces her to act, talk, dress and pretend to be a boy, despite her violent protestations. Ryuunosuke's burning desire is to be recognized as a girl, but her name, masculine speech patterns and macho behavior means very few people do — the sarashi and the shirts emblazoned with macho symbols or kanji don't help. | |

Harold Berselius of Tales of Destiny 2, who is in fact often mistaken as a man by people who have yet to meet her. And then there's Corrine, the summon spirit in Symphonia. Corrine is typically a female name, and the spirit itself has a high-pitched, feminine voice. However, there are some instances Corrine is referred to as male, as well as taking into account that Corrine would eventually become Verius, who is definitely male in name and voice. This is even more confusing as what Corrine's relation to Verius is never agreed upon in Symphonia's many iterations as sometimes Corrine is a different persona from Verius and could potentially be female when Verius is male, or Corrine is Verius where Corrine could have been too young (in voice) to pass as a young male rather than outright female. Pascal from Tales of Graces, too. Theme Naming with her sister suggests that she was named after mathematician Blaise Pascal (who, if the whole Harry Potter Blaise Zabini gender reveal incident is to be believed, had a Gender-Blender Name in his own right). |

George from The Famous Five is actually named Georgina, but insists on being called George because she is a Tomboy who likes being thought of as a boy. In the European Portuguese localization, this becomes Zé (a local male name), taken from her surname (Maria José). In the French version she answers to Claudenote which is gender-neutral in French, short for Claudine. |

Makoto and Haruka in Sailor Moon, the latter of whom is actually mistaken for male by much of the cast. The '90s English dub of the first anime weirdly averted this by renaming Haruka "Amara," a very feminine name which still leads to her being mistaken for a guy. In some supplemental material that preceded the dub, Haruka was called Alex, which made more sense. | |

Free!: Inverted with the main cast. Makoto, Haruka, Rei, Nagisa, and Rin all have girly names, with it being mentioned as one of the odd quirks of their friendship circle. Rin even jokes about it whenever he introduces himself to a new school class. On the flipside, Rin's little sister Gou plays it straight, hating her boyish name and spending much of the first season insisting on being called "Kou" instead. Momo and Ai also invert this; their full names are Aiichiro and Momotarou, which are both masculine names, but their nicknames are decidedly more feminine. | |
