Word-O Name	comment	Need a code name? If you're a man, just pick a word appropriate to your abilities or temperament, add "O" to the end (or replace the end if that sounds better), and you're ready to go! For women, use the same tactic, but with an "A" instead. This naming convention shows up a lot among superheroes and villains, but can show up elsewhere as well. Note that the rest of the character's name must be a significant word or variant of such. Rambo's name might end in O, but he is not an example of this trope. Same for Luna. Subtrope of Meaningful Name. Compare El Spanish "-o" and Ladyella. These names are highly prone to Lazily Gender-Flipped Name or Sobriquet Sex Switch where the character's O is simply changed to an A, or vice versa. Compare Thing-O-Matic, which is a similar naming scheme for gadgets.

In one story arc, Garfield and Odie join Binky the Clown's circus. Binky introduces Garfield as "Rotundo the clown" to the audience during a performance (to Garfield's chagrin since it's obviously a jab at him being fat).

Word-O Name / int_cb32d0d5	comment	Disenchantment: A Running Gag involves most of the Elves being named in this manner, with the word the "O" is added to either reflecting their personality, appearance, or place in the Elf Society. There's Elfo, Rulo (the king), Leavo, Returno, Annoyo, Desserto and Speako, just to name a few. Elfo's name is an Ironic Name since it's revealed near the end of Season 1 that he is only half-Elf. The female Elves avert the "A"-names however; the only named one so far is named Kissy. Season 4 reveals the Trogs, a race of small underground dwelling creatures, are also named in this manner which foreshadows the fact that Trogs and Elves are in fact the same race.
