Unusual Pop Culture Name	comment	A character's parents obviously and explicitly named them after an aspect of pop culture, such as a famous fictional character, a title of a work, or a well-known brand. Primarily, it is used to characterize their parents as eccentrics — maybe they were nerds, hippies, uneducated, or iconoclasts. The other effect of an Unusual Pop Culture Name is to give the character a complex relationship with their name. Because the reference is so overt, people around them might go Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?, and the name is treated as an Embarrassing First Name or even an Unfortunate one by the name holder or their peers. In these cases, they might go with a more mundane nickname. Rarely, they might admire their namesake or have positive feelings towards the name despite all the attention it gets. To qualify, the name must be an obvious pop culture reference, likely in the One-Mario Limit. Someone named "Paul" for Dune's Paul Atreides doesn't count because the name Paul is so commonplace that the association is diluted. But if his full name is something like "Paul Atreides Tropington" and his parents were mentioned to be science fiction fans, that counts because the name "Paul Atreides" can only be associated with Dune. A common variation is one parent being the type to name their kids after a fictional character before the more sensible parent reins in that desire. Another variant is to involve Family Theme Naming, Shout-Out Theme Naming, or some other type of Theme Naming; a guy named "Luke" isn't all that noteworthy by himself, but if the audience learns his sister's name is Leia, then it's an unambiguous reference to Luke Skywalker and his twin Leia Organa from Star Wars, so it might raise a few more eyebrows. A form of Shout-Out. Sister Trope to Named After Somebody Famous, when a character is named for a celebrity or historical figure. Compare Baby Name Trend Starter, when a fictional character inspires swathes of real-life parents to name their kid after them. Contrast Almost Famous Name, when the character has a name that is very close to a famous person's, but not exactly. Usually because the parents weren't aware of the famous connection and/or it isn't deliberate. See also Character Name Alias, when a character pretends their name is a fictional character's name.
