The persistent practice of using titles that look like someone mashed together random words lifted out of an English dictionary. At worst, they will be as meaningless as "Super Punk Octo Pudding Gas Mark Seven", and at best, they will just cryptically allude to the show's premise or characters while trying to make a clever Western pop-culture reference. Basically, Gratuitous English (or whatever language the work was originally made in) as applied to work names.
Contrast with Exactly What It Says on the Tin, this trope's direct opposite. See also Non-Indicative Name, for characters and in-story objects with similarly unintuitive names, albeit ones that still carry meaningful communicative significance; and Never Trust a Title, for titles that are grammatically sound, but misleading. Related to I Thought It Meant. For an example of a "TV Tropes" title that follows this formula, see Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot.
The extreme version of this trope is the Word Purée Title, when even the words themselves are garbled or made up.
See also Gory Deadly Overkill Title of Fatal Death, for when horror movies do this. A Sister Trope would be Word Salad Lyrics, often performed by suitably named bands. Also very closely related to Meaningless Meaningful Words, which sound impressive in any haphazard order. An Operation: [Blank] might turn out like this if it's randomly-generated.
Not to be confused with Colon Cancer or In Which a Trope Is Described. Mad Lib Thriller Titles follow a set of rules that may or may not result in this.

Dream Theater (who could count for this trope themselves) often name albums by taking a random phrase from a song in the album that they think sounds good. The exceptions to this are Falling Into Infinity (the phrase never comes up in any song on the album) and Systematic Chaos, which is a variation of the line "Insane random thoughts of neat disorder" from Constant Motion.
Perhaps "Falling into Infinity" could symbolize the fact that their careers and personal lives were pretty much in freefall due to Kevin Moore suddenly leaving the band right before the release of their previous album, Mike Portnoy being a raging alcoholic, James LaBrie almost throwing up his own larynx during a bad case of food poisoning, permanently damaging his voice in the process, and the whole band being royally Screwed By the Record Label.
The name "Dream Theater" itself came from a closed-down theater in California.
Their spin-off band Liquid Tension Experiment also counts, especially considering the songs are all instrumentals.
And then came a drumming DVD by Mike Portnoy showcasing several songs from each band, entitled...Liquid Drum Theater. Yeah.

Blind Guardian avoids this in their songs and albums but makes up for that with "Drei Schuesse im Leberknoedel" ("Three Shots in a Liver Dumpling"). It's an epic video about a group of minstrels who, in a desperate attempt to get an evil king to listen to their music, compete against him and his minions in a bean-eating contest, a death-metal-listening contest, a drinking contest, and a sword-fight.

Half-Minute Hero's Updated Re-release on Xbox 360 gained the subtitle Super Mega Neo Climax. The PC release took this further with Super Mega Neo Climax Ultimate Boy. It might have to do with said release being officially described as the "ultimate version" of the game.

Samurai Shodown, although it does have samurai and is a fighting game, it also has catgirls, ninja, fat guys, nature spirits, kabuki actors, and cranes disguising themselves as maids as playable characters. The samurai class was the warrior class, not the "we have to dress in a specific type of armor and use a katana" class. Granted, historically most ninja were not from the warrior class but it's still a fitting title because once you get rid of the class system, a samurai is simply a warrior.
The original title is Samurai Spirits. The implication is that they have the mindset of a samurai... be strong, be brave, fight to the death, stand up to evil, etc... but are not literally samurai. This makes sense, as the time period (the late 18th century) would be well beyond the era of bushido-bound loyal-unto-death noble warriors. One of Galford's prefight quotes even lampshades this: "My eyes are blue, but I have samurai spirits!"
You can also argue that this is an Artifact Title from the first and second Haohmaru-centric (well, kinda) games, as Haohmaru definitely is a samurai (well, kinda).

Sluggy Freelance, the strangeness of which was lampshaded time and time again in the comic itself for most of seventeen years, turns out to be a fair description of the strip's premise: the adventures of Sluggy, exiled God of Power, going freelance, Torg Sluggy (it's his middle name), freelance web designer, and Riff aka agent Sluggy, whose cover is "freelance bum". It's been Arc Words for some time due to the machinations of time-spider Googol, who gathers all Potentials in one place to ensure K'Z'K's ultimate defeat.

Bleach had its name derived from Tite Kubo not wanting to name his manga Black after the color of the shinigami uniforms and so titled it Bleach as the inverse of black, in order to evoke the meaning of white. Prominent fan theories for its naming were Ichigo's light red hair, which supposedly looks bleached, the band Nirvana of which Tite Kubo is a fan, whose first album was titled Bleach or the "bleaching" purification effect a Shinigami's sword has on a Hollow fallen ghost. And then there's the rumor that he called it bleach because in his cleaning supplies the bleach was right next to the Resolve, and resolve is a major character trait.
Many of the chapter titles also make very little sense without context, such as "Four Arms to Killing You" and "Superchunky from Hell". The former involves an Arrancar with four (later six) arms trying to kill Kenpachi Zaraki. The latter is about a giant blob-shaped hollow coming from Hueco Mundo to aid in Aizen's attack. In the Bleach character data books there are sections to translate the titles.

The title made more sense for the early version of the characters that appear in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Baffler Meal", where they were mascots for a fast-food chain called Burger Trench who sought to make teens hungry for Burger Trench. The "Aqua" part still didn't make any sense though.
Likely the "Trench" part, since the trenches are the deepest part of the ocean. Also, in the early episodes of ATHF, they are a detective team which refers to themselves as "The Aqua Teen Hunger Force".
The detective team story was a throw-away premise to get the show produced, since "a group of anthropomorphic food items fight crime" sounds like more of a show than "a group of anthropomorphic food items do a bunch of random things for 15 minutes." The title might have simply been part of that.
The Live Action episode, "Last Last One Forever and Ever" (which reveals that the show is essentially a script written by a struggling writer...or maybe not, this is an [adult swim] show we're discussing here.), has the gang moving out of their house. As they pull away, Carl sends them off by uttering "Truly, they were an Aqua Teen Hunger Force." Of course, even with the title now spoken in the show itself, there's still no clear meaning behind it.

In Straw Dogs (2011), David compares the locals to straw dogs, saying that the men are treated reverently when they are football stars in high school but are "trash" afterwards. Such feelings make sense, considering how he treats them later. Or throughout the film, for that matter. The original film gives no explanation for the title.

Chumbawamba has issued conflicting stories as to the origin of their name. One story is that one of the band members had a dream in which he had to use a public restroom and the restrooms were marked "Chumba" and "Wamba" and he didn't know which one to enter. A slightly less interesting one is that one of the band members sat down at a typewriter (no, not a computer, a typewriter) and closed his eyes and just started typing randomly, and they picked out that relatively pronounceable 11-letter string from among the gibberish. Officially, though, it doesn't mean anything, and they're rather happy it does: many other bands in their genre (anarcho-punk) formed at the time they did (the early 80s) have names that link them to that time and genre (Their official FAQ mentions how lucky the members of Thatcher On Acid were that she was in office for eleven years instead of eighteen months). "Chumbawamba", being nonsense, makes their name at once timeless (making it easier to put out new material that attracts new listeners) and genreless (allowing them to change direction without looking incredibly bizarre—can you imagine if a band called "The Disease" or something like that came out with "Tubthumping"?).
Hoobastank has also given conflicting stories for their name's origin, including a gas station in Germany and an old Chinese guy yelling gibberish insults at them.

A Certain Magical Index and its spinoff A Certain Scientific Railgun. The "magical index" is a human library of magical tomes who goes by the name Index. Railgun is the nickname of a girl with electricity powers who likes to use that electromagentism to launch coins at incredible speed, and "scientific" refers to the non-magical tech-wizards of the setting. The "A Certain" part is just a naming quirk of the franchise.

The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band exemplify this trope. They were originally called the Bonzo Dog Dada Band, but Vivian Stanshall got tired of having to explain Dadaism to every other fan that he talked to and proposed a name change to their final name The Bonzo Dog Band.

YouTube Poop. This is lampshaded in one poop where Linguini wonders why they call it that. It could refer to such videos allegedly being the bottom of YouTube's video barrel, but considering that some of them are comedy gold, this interpretation may or may not fit very well.

Pokémon Golden Boys tries to have a Title Drop at the start but it still doesn't make any sense. Nowhere else, even in the manga itself, does anyone call a Pokémon trainer a "Golden Boy" (and it's noted that girls can be "Golden Boys" too). The manga's name comes from it being a Pokémon adaptation based off of Pokémon Gold and Silver. The two main characters are boys, with one being named "Gold".

From the New World makes some degree of sense as a loose reference to Brave New World, in that both involve a future-dystopia with one civilized society and one uncivilized one, both of which have their own messed-up underpinnings. But it's unclear who or what is coming "from" the new world, or whether the "new world" refers to humans, the monster rats, or both. To make matters both more and less confusing, the title seemingly came from a symphony of the same name by Antonín Dvořák, which predates Brave New World—it's used liberally in the anime, but wasn't in the source novels, for obvious reasons.

Flip Flappers zig-zags on this. It sounds like it has something to do with flappers, and there's a vague connection there to its female protagonist getting dragged out of her comfort zone by a Manic Pixie Dream Girl. But it really refers to "Flip Flap," the organization they work for. Except we are told that "Flip Flap" is completely meaningless—the heroes yell "Flip Flapping" to trigger their Transformation Sequence because it helps them embrace absurdity and become their true selves. So, the in-context explanation for the title is "it's nonsense."

El-Hazard: The Magnificent World. Given the loose Arabic feel of the series, it is likely that "El Hazard" (pronounced El "Ha-ZARD") is a bastardization of Scheherazade, the teller of 1001 Tales of the Arabian Nights. Each episode is described as a "night." The first episode is "The First Night." Given this, it is likely to have taken Makoto 3 years until the epilogue to find a way to get back to Ifurita; or 1001 Nights. It could also be a reference to Lovecraft's Mad Arab Al-Hazred, who wrote the Necronomicon, knowledge that man should not know. There certainly is enough Lost Technology in the series that mankind would have been better off not creating. Although the El- prefix is actually Spanish, as in El Cid, the noted Spanish general.

Serial Experiments Lain: Lain is our protagonist. The series spans a short anime series and a PlayStation game, the latter of which involves reading case files on Lain's 'progress' throughout laboratory tests. Also, each episode of the show can be seen as Lain experimenting with something new, progressing serially from the simple (trying out a new computer) to the mindblowingly, cosmically profound. Metatextually, the episodes can be seen as a series of experiments with storytelling technique, each one trying something different.

D.Gray-Man: None of the main character's names starts with D. There's nothing particularly gray. There are men, though. The Noahs go kind of gray... Word of God is that it's from early drafts: "Gray" was Allen's name and the "D" stood for the Akuma, which were "dolls". The author liked the names and kept them for the title. Alternatively, it could be a(n unconscious) Shout-Out to The Picture of Dorian Gray due to the Akuma ability to retain their (borrowed) human forms after mutating and doing horrible things in the service of the The Millennium Earl and the Noahs - at least for a while, but by the time they can no longer retain their old forms they don't care.
Another theory is that the D. stands for dolls, which was a potential name for the manga, Gray refers to the fact that people are neither white (good) or black (evil), but gray, and Man refers to humans.
In recent chapters it was revealed that D. is a part of a name: Mana and Nea D. Campbell.

Fullmetal Alchemist just plain makes more sense in the original: the word translated as 'full metal' is a pun in Japanese, meaning steel but also stubborn (an adjective that suits Ed very well). Its Japanese title, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi (commonly abbreviated to "HagaRen"), would translate to the far more comprehensible Alchemist of Steel.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force. To quote from the Wikipedia entry: "The title of the show is largely a misnomer: the characters have no major affiliation with water aside from frequent occurrences involving their neighbor's pool. They are not teenagers per se and have somewhat frequently issued conflicting statements regarding their ages. They are food (hence the reference to hunger), but rarely, if ever actually do anything about hunger, and are rarely shown acting as any kind of a force." The Movie sorta gives an origin to the phrase, but this is long after the show began; and like everything else, the canon erodes quickly into madness.
The title made more sense for the early version of the characters that appear in the Space Ghost Coast to Coast episode "Baffler Meal", where they were mascots for a fast-food chain called Burger Trench who sought to make teens hungry for Burger Trench. The "Aqua" part still didn't make any sense though.
Likely the "Trench" part, since the trenches are the deepest part of the ocean. Also, in the early episodes of ATHF, they are a detective team which refers to themselves as "The Aqua Teen Hunger Force".
The detective team story was a throw-away premise to get the show produced, since "a group of anthropomorphic food items fight crime" sounds like more of a show than "a group of anthropomorphic food items do a bunch of random things for 15 minutes." The title might have simply been part of that.
The Live Action episode, "Last Last One Forever and Ever" (which reveals that the show is essentially a script written by a struggling writer...or maybe not, this is an [adult swim] show we're discussing here.), has the gang moving out of their house. As they pull away, Carl sends them off by uttering "Truly, they were an Aqua Teen Hunger Force." Of course, even with the title now spoken in the show itself, there's still no clear meaning behind it.
The show's title has officially changed three, first to "Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1", later to "Aqua Something You Know Whatever", and then to "Aqua TV Show Show".

One of the main reasons given for The Shawshank Redemption failing at the box-office was the opaqueness of its title: it makes perfect sense in context, but as "Shawshank" is a fictional prison, you have to have seen the movie or read the book to even know the gist of what's going on.
In one of the few happy cases of changing the film's original name in Mexico, the movie was renamed Dream of Flight, which is more appropriate.
Ditto for the Swedish title: Nyckeln till Frihet — "The Key to Freedom" (you know, hope.)
One can debate whether the Danish title is that appropriate, as it is called "A World Outside" (of the prison walls, that is).
The German title is Die Verurteilten, meaning as much as The Condemned. Considering that the German title of the short story upon which the film is based, i.e. Hope Springs Eternal: Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, is simply Pin-Up, that's actually an improvement.
The Brazilian title is a combination of the two above: A Dream of Freedom.
Then again, the title in Finland was "Rita Hayworth — avain pakoon" which is pretty much a spoiler to the movie plot, meaning "Rita Hayworth — the key to escape"
Russian title of the movie means "Escape from Shawshank", both spoiling the ending and moving it to the category Exactly What It Says on the Tin.
The Hungarian title provides an interesting twist: Prisoners of Hope. It's actually an interesting title, which makes you curious about the movie.
The French title is "The Escapees", which has about the same effect as the Russian one and lets you believe it's just some kind of Escape from Alcatraz movie.
The Norwegian title translates to "Rain of Freedom". This is not a well known type of rain; you'd have to watch the movie to know what the title is talking about.

Kiddy Grade makes sense when reviewing the background material, which states that the young-looking nanomachine-enhanced ES members are 'graded' in increasing orders of power as C, S, G (Copper, Silver, Gold). Ironically, the main protagonists are listed as the weakest of their organization...at first.

Tokyo Marble Chocolate a Romantic Comedy anime: "Tokyo" refers to the backdrop setting and the Tokyo Tower, "Marble Chocolate" is the name of the cafe the girl, Chizuru, works on but it can also be a reference to a white chocolate, which is a traditional romantic gift from a girl to a guy.

Ninja Baseball Batman. Yes, this is a real game, and yes, it makes sense in context. But the Dark Knight is nowhere to be found in this game. Well, you see, the title is not referring to Batman, but a bat man, as in a man who carries a baseball bat. So, in fact, this game is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Ninjas with baseball bats go around beating the shit out of things.

The Chrysalids. This one does make a bit of sense if one squints, though. "Chrysalid" is another form of the word "chrysalis," meaning the stage a caterpillar goes into when it changes into another form (i.e., a butterfly). The book deals with mutations, so a slightly less oblique version of the title would be "The Changed Ones." The American edition of the novel was re-titled Re-Birth.

Trigun is a non-sequitur, but far less mind-wrenching than the subtitle/genre description: "Deep Space Planet Future Gun Action!" The fact that this was perfectly accurate a descriptor of Trigun as anyone could come up with only makes things sadder. Various possible meanings of the actual title are hotly debated among fans. Some took the title to refer to the fact that Vash has three guns: the one in a holster, the cyberarm that turns into a gun in emergencies, and the Angel Arm cannon.

Date A Live: Can be described as Neon Genesis Evangelion meets The World God Only Knows, and is as weird as that sounds. While dating is sometimes involved, it's more likely to get the main character killed than keep him alive.

Steps Trodden Black takes its title from a line of a Robert Frost poem (albeit slightly paraphrased). It relates to the main character's coming of age arc, and his being hung up on making decisions. On a more literal level, the film takes place in the woods and the title sounds scary.

Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean. Not sure 'bout the wings bit, but the world once had an ocean that was swallowed by an evil god and now resides inside the Queen of Wazn. Yeah, this game was made on LSD.
The title of the prequel, Baten Kaitos Origins, before localization effectively shoved its predecessor aside. Baten Kaitos II: The Beginning of the Wings and the Heir of the Gods. Although both are sort-of explained, it isn't by the main story- it's explained in a subplot that takes place 1000 years in the past inside the player/guardian spirit/afterling/Marno's memories.

Cowboy Bebop: other than helping to set the mood of the show, a "cowboy" is slang for a bounty hunter and Bebop is the name of the ship the hero bounty hunters live on. And no, the title doesn't refer to a specific character. Bebop is also a type of Jazz and the opening theme song Tank is sort of an example of this style. Some of the background music is in a country style, which the "Cowboy" may be alluding to. Naming the show after music also works in a show influenced by styles of music.

Neon Genesis Evangelion itself can appear to be this for those who don't know Greek since the "English" title is, in fact, a Greek title - the Word of God's translation of "Shinseiki Evangelion" - which is pretty close to literal; most native speakers of English and Greek, however, would have used Neo instead of Neon, though they mean the same (Greek for "new").

King of the Hill has absolutely nothing to do with the children's game it was named after. It's just a reference to the main character's last name, and he's not even a "king" in any sense. It is, however, appropriate in the idiomatic sense of the term. At least compared to his dysfunctional neighbors, Hank is the big fish in a small pond, and he is the patriarch of the Hill family.

Super Dimension Fortress Macross is kind of on the borderline, since the titular warship eventually becomes a mobile space fortress (in the sense of protecting a vulnerable group of civilians inside) which is capable of faster-than-light travel (hence "super-dimensional", transcending the dimensions). The "Super Dimensional" part may have referred to the huge size of the ship, which was stated to be a rather large Supervision Army warship. That said, the "Super Dimension" tag was mostly appended at the request of the sponsor to tie it in with two unrelated series that would run in the same timeslot after Macross had finished its run. As for the "Macross"? That was a compromise between Studio Nue and a producer from the sponsor, who was a big fan of Shakespeare. Had he had his way, the show would have been Choujikyuu yosai Makubesu. Another working title was Palace Robo Dockingham...
The Choujikyuu in the original Japanese title translates as "transcending space-time", as in physical concept, a rather fitting title to an SF show.
The show's name in English also allowed the title ship to be called the SDF-1, which is a play on the Japanese "Self-Defense Forces," the post-WWII Japanese military.

Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go sounds like a parody of anime titles, the Power Rangers series, and a rip-off of Teen Titans all in one...and that's before you actually watch it and see that it is indeed a show about a team of robotic monkeys (and one human kid) who pilot a Super Robot and are called the "Hyperforce" for short (maybe related to "masterforce" from Transformers). The "Go" is just something they shout out as a battle cry (and possibly a pun of the Japanese word for "five", as there are five monkeys).

Straw Dogs was originally called The Siege of Trencher's Farm, a bland and overly descriptive title, so director Peckinpah created an informal contest for a new name. A friend suggested Straw Dogs, referring to the Chinese tradition of creating animal figures out of straw as religious offerings. Straw dogs were given special treatment during religious ceremonies, then discarded with the rest of the trash, mirroring the impartiality of the universe. However, even the producer of the film admitted that the term means nothing in the context of the film. The remake explains the reference in dialogue.

They Might Be Giants, based on a play of the same name. Who are "they," and are they giants or not? The title doesn't have anything to do directly with the plot. It's taken from a short monologue in which the main character argues that people need to think of things "as they might be" rather than just "as they are." He references Don Quixote, stating that Don Quixote was mad because he thought the windmills were giants when he should have thought, "They might be giants." In other words, embrace open-mindedness and curiosity.

Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow. Parodied in Penny Arcade with rejected titles, such as Splinter Cell: Peanut Butter Monkey and Splinter Cell: Puppy Helmet. In some circles, Penny Arcade's point was accepted with such vigor that the game was more often referred to as Puppy Helmet than by its actual name. Swedish PC Gamer jokingly referred to the game as Splinter Cell: Flundra Okänd, which translates to "Splinter Cell: [the] Flounder [is] unknown". "Pandora Tomorrow" makes sense if you play the game: "Pandora Tomorrow" is a code phrase used by the terrorists in the game as a Dead Man's Switch; everytime the call is made, they delay the opening of Pandora's box (a weaponized virus set to go off at LAX) to tomorrow (if the leader is killed or arrested, the phone call isn't made and the weapon is released).

Parodied on I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. The regular round "One Song to the Tune of Another" is as self-explanatory as you can get, and yet the chairman acts as if the title is a word salad, and every time the game is played he introduces it with a highly elaborate metaphor.
By contrast, the game of "Cheddar Gorge" (which involves the teams making a sentence by saying one word at a time, with the object being not to complete the sentence) is treated as if its title is perfectly self-explanatory and clearly outlines the rules.

Non-story missions in XCOM: Enemy Unknown have names randomly generated from two separate lists. While some can make sense, others won't: Operation Burning Mother, Operation Vengeful Pipe, Operation Vengeful Vengeance, etc; one of the community's favorite things to do is share humorous instances of the RNG accidentally spitting out something coherent, or that turns out to be a rather apt description of something that happens in the following mission.

Tokyo Mew Mew is a Pun-Based Title involving the onomatopoeia of a cat's "mew" and the Greek letter "mu", which is pronounced the same and used extensively in the field of genetics. The main character is a catgirl, and she and her team of Little Bit Beastly are genetic experiments. And, well, it is set in Tokyo.
Tokyo Mew Mew's hentai parody, Sex Warrior Pudding, fits this bill as well. The original Japanese title is Family Restaurant Warrior Pudding, which makes just as much sense though is less frightening; the protagonist is named "Pudding" which fits the edible theme naming of much of female cast work at a family restaurant and is a (ostensibly secretly) superheroine. The "sex warrior" part comes from the fact that she and the other female cast are involved in inordinate amounts of, well, sexual situations (the positive feelings they get from such being used to power their superheroine strength, weaponry, super modes, etc.).

Flunk Punk Rumble, despite being the English title, sounds like it makes much less sense than the Japanese title (Yankee-kun to Megane-chan / Delinquent Boy and Glasses Girl). But if you consider that the aforementioned Manga concerns students trying to not Flunk from school and that almost all of the characters are Punks / Delinquents and that the main characters often get involved with Rumbling, it makes at least some sense in context.

Homestuck's title is somewhat confusing, but makes slightly more sense in context; several characters are indeed stuck at home at various points in the story.
Some of the chapter titles fall into this, such as 'penis ouija' and 'I'M PUTTING YOU ON SPEAKER CRAB'. However, the majority of them turn out to be phrases which come up somewhere in that chapter.

Samurai Champloo sounds like it but actually makes some sense. Champloo or rather Chanpuru is a Japanese dish made from a mix of regional foods, just like how the anime mixes Edo-period and modern elements together. Interestingly, both the dish and the main character of the anime are from Okinawa.

Penny Arcade. Throughout the whole series, there are very, very few references to pennies or an arcade. Gabe and Tycho are fans mostly of console games (and the occasional MMORPG).
However, it could be explained in context as a reference to coin-operated "games" (certainly not video games) that were popular in the early 20th century. The cost of the games was in pennies, and the localities where they were placed were called "arcades" (and were the precursor of later Video Arcades). The other wiki has a short history of the name.

The two Senran Kagura games for PlayStation systems are titled Shinovi Versus and Estival Versus. These almost make sense to the plots - the first is based on a free-for-all between Shinobi teams, and the second around a Festival. And that's not due to a "Blind Idiot" Translation, either; the games have a competent and consistent sub. It turns out these are the closest way possible of communicating something in the Japanese title, "Senran" is similarly misspelled (technically, it's two kanji that make perfect sense in context, but form a gibberish word when compounded). Ironically, Shinovi Versus's Japanese subtitle, Proof of Life, makes complete sense in both languages.
"Estival" is also an archaic word roughly meaning "summery," which fits the setting like a glove.

Makai Kingdom may seem like an example at first, until you learn that "makai" is what is translated (but not literally) as "the netherworld" in Nippon Ichi games, so it is actually Gratuitous Japanese.
Would you rather have it as Phantom Kingdom? For those that don't know, that's the game's original name in Japan.

Frisky Dingo. The title is entirely meaningless, although the writers eventually handwaved an explanation into the series. Note, originally the writers wanted to call the series "Whiskey Tango" but ran into legal problems as there was a band by that name. In frustration, they "jokingly" said they may as well call it "Frisky Dingo." The phrase does end up coming into play in the last episode of season 1. It's the password to control the Anihilatrix. It's also lampshaded later when someone mentions this, another person asks what it means.
Just for the record, "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" is a military aviation term. It means "Could you repeat that? I don't believe what I think I heard you just say." or more literally "What the Fuck, Over?"
"Whiskey Tango", minus the foxtrot, also means "white trash" in military slang.

Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody—"death march" refers to an overly-long coding marathon, after which the main character inexplicably jumps to a Parallel Universe. "Rhapsody" is just there to complete the mad-lib fantasy title, vaguely linking back to "march" (both relate to music).

Iron and Wine: Sam Beam was once in a gas station where he noticed an aisle of old-fashioned home remedies and dietary supplements, including one called "Beef, Iron & Wine". Dropping the first word, he picked it as the name for his recording project because it suggested a certain "duality" to him, as well as because it was more interesting-sounding than just his own name.

Risk of Rain is about a game where you play as a survivor of a space shipwreck and battle through a planet with Everything Trying to Kill You, hop between regions via teleporters, and make your way back to the ship to escape the planet. Nowhere in the game is there any rain. And no, it's not the name of the ship, either. Word of God says the game was named that just to make it easily searchable on the internet.

The original name of Eternal Sonata is Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream. The "Chopin's Dream" part makes plenty of sense, but what's a "trusty bell" and what does it have to do with anything?

Xenoblade Chronicles may seem like a confusing title for people with little familiarity with the series, possibly only knowing it exists thanks to Super Smash Bros. However, there is actual meaning behind the title. The “Xeno� prefix, means “strange,� or “foreign,� and in the main games, the main character wields a magic sword that is integral to the main plot, so in a way, the games are called, “The Chronicles of the Strange Blades.� This is even further evident since the first game was originally called “Monado, Beginning of the World� with the Monado being the sword in question.

xkcd is not an acronym for some little-known computer protocol, it is merely a nerdy webcomic. That doesn't stop it from making several comics about what XKCD is or suggesting weird backronyms such as "eXcellence Kriegsmarine College of Demolitions" and "Xtreme Kansas College of Dentistry." See also Word Purée Title...
Word of God has it that Randall before he even thought of a webcomic, wanted to come up with a short string he could search that could only link to something to do with him (or to mojibake). This is still true...it's just that a lot more sites have something to do with him now.
In one of his books, he says that xkcd were random letters he chose for a domain name he had bought long before and kept for no particular reason.

Ghost in the Shell: The 'ghost' part refers to the part of a person that makes them human, which, in a world where the entire human body, including the brain, can be replaced with cybernetic substitutes, is pretty important in separating cyborgs from straight-up robots. And of course, the shell more than likely stands for a cyborg body.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Episodes in the first season are separated into "complex" episodes, which are part of the show's overarching plot, and "stand-alone" episodes, which aren't (they stand alone from the rest of the plot, and thus can be watched without any knowledge of the overarching story.) Near the end of the season, the term Stand-Alone Complex is also coined to refer to copycats copying an original that doesn't actually exist.

Tsubasa -RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE- is certainly a chronicle, and "Tsubasa" means "wings", which fits the "search for feathers" quest that takes up the first half of the series and also, two of the main characters are named Tsubasa, although they're using their clones' names (Syaoran and Sakura) as aliases. Pay no attention to the fact that said clones got the names in the first place from the aliases their originals were using, it just gives you a headache. Although the titular reservoir appears halfway through, it seems a minor detail unworthy of title attention until the grand finale. The "reservoir" can also refer to how Sakura's memories are in feathers, so the "wings" are a reservoir of what is the plot to our story.

Azumanga Daioh. The title refers to the author of the manga (Kiyohiko Azuma) and the magazine it was published in (Dengeki Daioh), as well as it being, well, a manga. A translation would basically go something like "Azuma's great comic for Daioh Magazine." The anime version calls it "Azumanga Daioh: The Animation", even though it's only accurate for the print version. It also sounds like "Azumanga da yo", which would translate to "It's Azuma's manga!". They play with this interpretation at the very beginning of the anime (they cut the phrase off, resulting in 'Azumanga da!').

A Clockwork Orange. The "clockwork" part clearly has something to do with the way the treatment makes Alex programmable, but Burgess has given several different explanations for what the title is supposed to mean:
The phrase comes from "as queer as a clockwork orange," a phrase Burgess claimed to have heard, but of which there is no record of ever being used before he wrote the book.
"Orange" is a pun on the Malay word for man. Burgess also wrote the Malayan Trilogy, in which some characters do speak Malay (Bahasa), though there are no other Malay words used in this novel.
"Orange" refers to the human capacity for "color and sweetness." Oranges are natural, clockwork is not (like brainwashing).
Burgess also once explicitly stated that the "clockwork orange" was a metaphor for human behavior, in that while an orange may appear to be very simple on the outside, they are much more complex and intricate beneath the rind.

Bob and George is a completed Sprite Comic that for the first ten or so story arcs contained no characters named Bob and no characters named George. This is because it evolved from a filler comic that was shown while the author was trying to make a hand-drawn comic, but said attempts at the hand-drawn comic ultimately failed three times, and what once had been filler became the main comic while retaining the other comic's title. The titular characters eventually made their way into the sprite comic, finally giving the name an in-universe explanation.

Silhouette Mirage: Reprogrammed Hope. Outside Japan, the title was shortened to Silhouette Mirage. This one makes sense in context. Silhouette Mirage refers to the two character alignments, the brawny Silhouettes and the brainy Mirages. Reprogrammed Hope is a bit stickier, but given that the game takes place inside a series of computer programs and that the protagonist is attempting to repair it, the elements are there.

Transformers: Super-God Masterforce. "Masterforce" is the transformation phrase used by the humans turning into Transformers. "Super-God" is a translation of the Japanese word chojin (超神). Jin is how the kanji 人 is pronounced; this sound is present in the Japanese words for both human and android, and thus symbolises the combination of humans and robots (in this case, Transformers) to form the ultimate lifeform. Thus, a more accurate but less impressive name would be Transformers: Super-Human-Robot-Hybrid-Soul Masterforce. Super-God Masterforce can also refer to the Godmasters, the aforementioned fusions of human and Transformer.

The first story in the Elemental Chess Trilogy, Flowers of Antimony, and all of its chapter titles (e.g. "Fixity") might at first seem like complete nonsense. But it's cleared up in the author's notes on the first chapter - they're all terms from traditional alchemy, which makes sense since it's a continuation of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Dresden Codak. Being primarily a Quirky Work, this actually makes a bit of sense, such as it is.
Less so, given the comic's recent Cerebus Syndrome. One possible meaning is that it refers to the Allied firebombing of Dresden in WWII, widely considered one of the greatest What the Hell, Hero? moments in history, likening it to the morally questionable actions of the main character in her attempts to bring about The Singularity.
Another theory is that it's named for the Dresden Codex. The frequent Mesoamerican motifs make this rather plausible, though the codex itself has yet to appear.
A minor character wore a nametag reading "T.UD", which some fans consider a reference to the codex's location in Dresden.
Dresden Codak is actually the nickname of the comic's author, Aaron Diaz. The title is best thought of as "Comics By Dresden Codak." Sure, the problem is now explaining a Word Salad Name, but Diaz said that it's just the name of the Dresden Codex plus Rule of Cool. It also avoids using his real name, which he was concerned would cause confusion with a certain Latin-American pop star.

What exactly does the name Borderlands refer to? The location is the alien planet of Pandora, but as it's a desolate wasteland there aren't any clear "borders" of anything anywhere. Is Pandora at the "border" of human discovery? Maybe, but the series never references any other known planets (not even Earth) And the exact location of Pandora is never revealed.

Lucky Star doesn't seem to specifically refer to any star that is lucky, although there is quite a bit of symbolic use of a star within the series as a decorative motif, and there is an extended sequence where the characters discuss wishing upon a star. Possibly, it was referring to the Madonna song, which at least vaguely makes sense. Furthermore, the title is spelled Raki ☆ Suta, which is not the proper way to spell Lucky or Star, which ought to be Rakkii and Sutaa respectively. It is a little bit like naming your show "Lukky St'r" (just enough similarity to the actual words that the intended meaning is clear, but it still looks odd). It's just another example of the Fun With The Foreign Languages game so popular in Japan. The Lucky part came from Comptiq, the magazine it serializes; Lucky Channel is actually the name of their reader's column. There is a scene where one of the characters wishes on a shooting star, but it doesn't appear until Volume 2 of the manga. The anime theme song also makes reference to meteorites.

×××HOLiC sounds like someone hopelessly addicted to pornography, those x'ed jars of moonshine, or maybe Vin Diesel. It's actually supposed to evoke those little x's on the blank where you sign your name on official documents: therefore, "×××HOLiC" is more like "fill-in-the-blank-holic", or "ABC-holic". Many of the characters fit this description (workaholic, alcoholic, etc.). It's supposed to be pronounced as just "holic". It can also mean "addicted to the unknown" with the xxx being a "mystery".

Trainspotting has absolutely nothing to do with trains and train enthusiasts. Rather, the title is an Artifact Title from the original "Trainspotting at Leith Central", the meaning being that Leith Central Station is abandoned, derelict, and squalid, and going there to trainspot is a stupid, filthy and completely pointless activity... much like the protagonists' lives.

Tales of Symphonia has nothing to do with music or anything called Symphonia.
The word symphony, depending on the context, can imply harmony. And given that a major part of your quest is resolved with the harmonious merger of two worlds, it makes some sense. It's been confirmed that the reunified world is called Symphonia before its name is changed to Aseria.
The same applies to Tales of Phantasia, there isn't anything called like that in the whole game. Later titles in the series avert this trope by using concepts important to the plot (Destiny, Rebirth, Innocence).

Mass Effect: The title plays on the consequences your choices will have in the series, but the words also refer to how the universe's Phlebotinum causes an object's Mass to reduce to nothing, allowing Faster-Than-Light Travel, Artificial Gravity, and pretty much everything else that makes the universe work the way it does. Fortunately, this is quickly explained in the game's Star Wars-esque opening crawl, leading directly into the Title Drop.

Super Robot Wars: Original Generation is justifiable, but when the anime based on the game is called Super Robot Wars: Original Generation Divine Wars? That gets to the point where the point of a long title becomes moot, as using the whole name will get you all of nothing, and putting in only parts of the title gets you googleplexed. (Don't even think of trying to search for SRWOGDW.) This is made worse by the fact that there is very little agreement between fans on where the spaces/colon(s) should go, not to mention the whole Super Robot Wars/Super Robot Taisen issue. Variations SRWOGDW, SRW:OGDW, SRW:OG:DW, SRWOG:DW, and SRW:OG DW, and a plethora of others, are seen.
It's not the only long name in the series. How about Super Robot Wars Gaiden: Masoukishin: The Lord of Elemental?

Valkyrie Profile: It's the profile of a Valkyrie. Maybe several valkyries. "Profile" meaning "a short biographical account of somebody" in this case. It could also refer to the side view used for normal gameplay since a view of someone from the side is called a profile view.
Most sources cite the latter explanation, that it refers to the side-scrolling dungeons, which makes it an Artifact Title with Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume.

Eureka Seven:
The full title is Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven, literally "Symphonic Psalms Eureka Seven" or officially "Psalms of Planets Eureka Seven". OK, Eureka is the name of the female protagonist, and the episodes are all named after songs, so the story can be regarded as a collection of "psalms" in that sense. The answer to Seven is a very submerged Title Drop: During the flashback explaining the origins of the Scub Coral they first remember a rocket that crashes. Its underwater wreckage shows "Eureka" on the rocket a screen later. The entire series of events began with a space mission named Eureka Seven.
The meaning in the Alternate Universe Movie is spelled out much more explicitly: Eureka was the seventh girl who a cult experimented on to obtain knowledge from the Coralians/Image, so she was referred to by a serial number ending in "7" which was shorten to "Eureka 7".

The second volume of The Lord of the Rings is called "The Two Towers". Based on events in Book 3, it seems certain that one of the towers is Orthanc. It's less clear what the other one is. Of the four other towers mentioned in the novel, the two most likely candidates are Minas Morgul and Barad-dûr.
It doesn't help that in the movie, Frodo and Sam don't take the pass of Cirith Ungol at all (it's moved to the next movie), so a character explicitly refers to "the union of the two towers" of Sauron and Saruman instead (Orthanc and Barad-dûr).

Flaky Pastry is an Urban Fantasy Sitcom which has nothing to do with baking like the title would imply. However, it's named after how the barriers between different planes are like a flaky pastry with holes and tunnels that can be travelled through.

30 Rock is impossible to parse unless you know that it's an address: 30 Rock[efeller Plaza, New York, NY]* 10112 (also known as the location of NBC's studios). The abbreviation is famous in the TV business. And to be fair, the opening titles do make this fact explicitly clear, and the place is referred to as 30 Rock by characters on rare occasions.

The Testament of Sister New Devil has some seriously bizarre grammar, but was at least meant to make sense. It's a battle-ecchi involving demonic stepsisters, one of whom is the newly-appointed Demon Lord. "Testament" was probably a poorly-chosen word for the contract the hapless male hero accidentally makes with them.

Reservoir Dogs. Quentin Tarantino has given conflicting explanations for the title. In one, his girlfriend suggested that he watch the French movie, "Au revoir, les enfants" (Goodbye, children), and he misheard "Reservoir Dogs." Another explanation he gave is that the phrase is a slang term for rats, which is how he saw the characters. Of course, for all we know, neither story is true.

The show Stella took its name from the original comedy group, which named itself after the unborn daughter of the club manager who booked their first show. It does not refer to any of the members (three men named Michael, Michael and David) or characters involved in the show, nor is it spoken at any point in the series. They do say it in several of the 26 short films, but only in reference to the name of their group/act.

Always Having Juice is a Sonic the Hedgehog Alternate Universe Character Blog, and not a single one of the fifteen main characters is ever seen having juice even once.

Albedo: Erma Felna EDF: The name "Albedo" is an astronomic term for the reflecting power of a surface, in this case of the light reflected by the planets from a star. In a metaphorical sense, the name is an allegory of how the problems of the anthropomorphic society somewhat "reflects" the ones the human society also have, albeit in a warped way. "Erma Felna" is the name of the female protagonist and "EDF" is the acronym of "Extraplanetary Defense Force", the military organization the titular protagonist belongs to.
As an interesting note, the whole comic was originally named "Albedo Anthropomorphics", since the comic originally began as an anthology of many furry comics written by many authors, and the Erma's one was just named Erma Felna EDF without the Albedo moniker at first. The name became an Artifact Title when the anthology part disappeared since the second Story Arc onwards and only the Erma Felna EDF story was the only one published there, but the name Albedo still remained relevant in the Erma Felna EDF saga because it was used as a Title Drop later when they find out a derelict spaceship, who was tripulated by humans. By 2016, the author definitively changed the name of the comic to the current one since that name was used by the fans from many years ago, averting I Am Not Shazam altogether.
The name of the sequel Birthright was named because the titular hero, Alfon Koshaka, wants to reclaim his "birthright", in this case, reclaiming his homeland who was invaded by foreign invaders.

Helms frequently use song titles that have nothing to do with the lyrics, though they've explained at least some of them as band in-jokes: For instance, "Sno-Cone Lizard" got its title from an incident where, as a teenager, a member surreptitiously put a The Jesus Lizard sticker on the bumper of the family car - his mother found the band's name offensive, and rather than have to scrape the whole sticker off, she just partially covered it up with a "sno-cone" sticker.

The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer has an unusual word order; it would typically be Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer but the former looks cooler. The "biscuit hammer" is an enormous hammer in space that could destroy the world.

SSSS.GRIDMAN is nearly a Word Purée Title, but does have an explanation. "Gridman" is the main Humongous Mecha, and "SSSS" is a reference to Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad, the western adaptation of the live-action series the anime is a spin-off of. The final episode, however, reveals the "SSSS" to have an in-universe meaning: "Special Signature to Save a Soul", the Access Code required to transform Gridman into his original Tokusatsu form.

One Piece suffers from this, particularly because in many languages, including English, it can refer to, ahem, clothing. Fortunately, though, the explanation comes in the very first scene - the dying Pirate King states "I left all my treasure in one piece." and from there, "the One Piece" becomes the name of the treasure that the main characters are racing to find.

Butthole Surfers have a lot of song or album titles that are just plain bizarre, but at least one that has a bit of context to it: They titled an EP Cream Corn From The Socket Of Davis because they wanted the cover art to depict Sammy Davis Jr. with his glass eye out and cream corn coming out of his socket. They ultimately went with a totally different artwork concept but kept the title.

The sixth Godzilla film has been called several names, but for whatever reason, the studio has settled on Invasion of Astro-Monster as the official international title despite it not making much sense (there's a monster from space but no he's not called "Astro-Monster"). It's very common for viewers to assume it's supposed to be Invasion of the Astro-Monster and the DVD case just has a typo, but that's how the title appears in all official sources. The Japanese title translates to The Great Monster War, the original English version was called Monster Zero (which is a name actually given in the movie) and most VHS copies are labeled Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, all of which are much saner titles.

Wishfart sounds like it's meant to be Toilet Humour, but it's a combination of "wish" and "brainfart", as the series is about a leprechaun who grants wishes that always screw up. Additionally, all episodes have non-sequitur names like "Clown Shoes Never Solved Anything", "And They Ate the Goldfish", and "Does This Please the Jigmaster?" — all derived from actual lines uttered in the episode and taken out of context. Regardless, they add to the show's surreal nature.

Code Geass: "Geass" is the main character's name for his Magical Eye powers (which is derived from geis or geas, a type of enchantment that heroes in Celtic mythology are often put under by goddesses or witches), but the "Code" part remained a mystery for one and a half seasons, until in episode 15 of R2, CC referred to her and VV's immortality and ability to bestow Geass as "Code". Yup, it was as simple as that. On the other hand, "R2" remains unintuitive and unclarified in the text, but Word of God states it refers to "reconstruction and revolution".

There are many unofficial Cards Against Humanity expansion packs, and most of them have names that can be initialized as CAH and have the same amount of syllables as the game, but otherwise make little sense: Crabs Adjust Humidity is one of the more nonsensical examples.

The average Touhou Project game title typically does not make any sense until after beating the game or fighting a certain boss and is rarely as simple as stated. Examples include Touhou Koumakyounote "Scarlet Devil Land" ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil, Touhou Youyoumunote youyou = pronounced "gradual", but replacing the "you" character with the one from Youkai; mu = "dream" ~ Perfect Cherry Blossom, Touhou Chireidennote Palace of the Earth Spirits ~ Subterranean Animism, and Touhou Shinreibyounote Mausoleum of Divine Spirits ~ Ten Desires. The few straightforward games include Yousei Daisensounote "The Great Fairy War" ~ Touhou Sangetsusei and the incredibly flexible Touhou Fuujinrokunote Wind God Chronicles ~ Mountain of Faith.

Metal Gear Solid. Metal Gear is the nuke-firing mech Snake must prevent the activation of, whose name isn't actually explained all that well to begin with (and the Metal Gear featured in this game is actually called Metal Gear REX). "Solid" refers to the lead character Solid Snake (whose name is meant to be a contrast between sneakiness and strength) and that it was the first game in the series to feature 3D graphics, and hence "solids". It was also the third installment of the series, following the first two MSX2 releases.

While the "Magic" part of it certainly makes sense, the latter portion of the title of Magic: The Gathering doesn't really mean anything at all. It was only added because "Magic" by itself was too broad a term to be copyrighted.

New Japan Pro-Wrestling makes enough sense from the first reader. International Wrestling Grand Prix, while nonsensical given that it describes an athletic commission rather than a racing event, still gets the point across quickly.

The final film in the Rebuild of Evangelion series provides a new meaning for the title: when Shinji gains the ability to remake the world in his image, he uses the opportunity to give himself and those closest to him a happy ending by making a world without Evangelions or Angels, which he calls a "Neon Genesis".

The Room (2003) mostly takes place in a two-floor apartment, but no particular room is given any specific plot importance or thematic weight. A far more appropriate title could be The Building. Writer/Director/Star Tommy Wiseau's rambling, barely coherent explanation is that he had the idea of a room people could relate to that was a place of privacy and safety where they could go to revel or brood. Of course, how this ties to the actual events of the film is still anybody's guess. Greg Sestero, the actor who played Mark claimed that the film was originally written as a play, and all of the action would take place in a single room, which is at least a Word of Saint Paul.

Lightning Made of Owls, natch. The title's not about anything. Also, Square Root of Minus Garfield—it does involve Garfield, but the "square root of minus" part makes very little sense. It's essentially Garfield Minus Garfield combined with the mathematical concept of the imaginary number "i," defined as the square root of negative one, but what the hell does that mean? Maybe the "i" stands for Interactive Comic? One comic "explains" the title as "will eat or make a 2D cross-section which, when multiplied by itself, is the opposite of a lasagna."

The titles of each Part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure seem like rather strange collections of words, but they tend to vaguely describe the events of each Part. Starting with Part 3, the titles reference the protagonist's Stands- for example, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders is a reference to Jotaro's Star Platinum, and the protagonists are sometimes unofficially referred to as the "Stardust Crusaders."

Peanuts was supposed to be a term for young children, as in the "peanut gallery" on The Howdy Doody Show. It was thought up and forced on Charles Schulz by the publisher; Schulz had initially called it Li'l Folks. Charles Schulz himself hated the title and in a 1987 interview, he said: "It's totally ridiculous, has no meaning, is simply confusing, and has no dignity - and I think my humor has dignity." Sunday strips feature the subtitle "Good Ol' Charlie Brown."

Robot Chicken. The title is only referenced in the opening sequence; the show appears to be the hallucinations of a chicken going insane from being forced to watch too much TV, with all the shows starting to blur together. The chicken's presence is hardly the point, however; indeed, the actual content of the show is generally restricted to non-stop silliness with action figures and masturbation jokes. The name Robot Chicken was chosen mainly due to the barmy image it projects; similarly to Monty Python (above) most of the other episodes are given similarly random titles that were originally considered for the show as a whole, then rejected ("1987", "Federated Resources", "A Kick In The Nuts", etc.). It's been explained that the name of the show came from when Seth Green and Matt Senreich saw the name on a Chinese restaurant menu.

Pumpkin Scissors is named after the postwar recovery organization the characters in the series belong to, so it makes sense that the series would be called that. Where the organization got its name from is that just as a pair of sturdy shears can cut through the thick pumpkin, so does the recovery unit cut through the hopelessness and corruption after the war.

Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE: It takes place in Tokyo, Mirages are spirits that you team up with or fight against, and Sessions are the combos you initiate when you hit an enemy's weak spot (or fulfill other requirements). The "sharp" symbol is because the story revolves around the Idol Singer business. FE stands for Fire Emblem, because the game is a crossover between it and Shin Megami Tensei. So why isn't SMT alluded to in the title? It is, actually; Tokyo Mirage Sessions can be shortened to TMS, which is SMT backwards. But without all this context, this game has one hot mess of a title.

The Super Sentai Series in Japan is pretty guilty of this as it's impossible to translate most titles as anything but these. Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger translates as Pirate Squadron/Taskforce/Team Gokaiger. Gokai meaning misunderstanding is a pun on Goukai meaning heroic and <-ger> as in ranger which makes this series translate as Pirate Squadron/Taskforce/Team Misunderstanding Ranger/Misunderstandingger.

Syphon Filter. For some reason, the virus which plays a part in at least the earlier games is called the "syphon filter" virus, as though it was derived from something deadly to tank-kept fish. Late 1990s to early 2000 stealth games seemingly had a word salad title as a TRC. The Syphon Filter virus is able to target "...any specific demographics, ethnic groups. It can wipe out all continents, except those who are chosen to survive." A siphon sucks liquid from a place to another; a filter keeps undesirable elements away. The similarity? Cleansing.

Blade Runner. The term is the nickname used for bounty hunters who identify and kill renegade androids posing as humans. Is it because they live within the razor's edge between humanity and machine? Is it because they practice unsafe scissor usage? No, it actually doesn't have any deeper meaning. The filmmakers lifted the term from an unrelated book (about medical supply smugglers) because it sounded cool.

High School D×D. D×D (pronounced "Dee-dee") is an in-universe title, short for Dragon of Dragons, that the lead eventually takes on. Issei himself is still in high school, hence, High School D×D. There is a second, equally in-universe explanation; the protagonist team also call themselves D×D collectively (as they're such a mishmash the usual system of identifying oneself by myth of origin falls apart), and they're based out of Kuoh High School.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger. Not a disaster movie about blue fire, but one of the names of the Artifact of Doom the protagonist possesses. As for the "Calamity Trigger" part; considering it's an Artifact of Doom, that would certainly trigger a calamity. Could also be explained by the fact that said protagonist is a part of an Eldritch Abomination that caused The End of the World as We Know It in the game's backstory, and at the end of his story mode, he is thrown into some sort of time portal into the past with the other half of said Abomination, where she fuses with him against his will to become the Black Beast. Thus, Triggering a Calamity. (He gets better...sorta.)

No More Heroes features a Show Within A Game Magical Girl anime titled Pure White Lovers Bizarre Jelly. Parts of it might make sense, given that it's explicitly a moe series and the girls are named after berries, but the rest is word salad. Ironically, the similarly named Pure White Giant Glastonbury makes almost perfect sense, being about a white Humongous Mecha named Glastonbury.
The title for Speed Buster's theme, Mach 13 Elephant Explosion, also qualifies.

The title of the album Bee Thousand at least sort of has an explanation - Supposedly Robert Pollard passed a theater that was showing Beethoven, but on the marquee the title was misspelled as "Beethouen" note Most likely the theater just didn't have any v's left among its sign letters. "Bee-thow-en" stuck in his mind, and then gradually turned into "bee thousand". Another motivation for the title choice was an obtuse Shout-Out - "Bee Thousand" sounds similar to Pete Townsend. And Vampire On Titus is sort of Self-Deprecation - Pollard lived on a street called Titus Avenue, and someone he knew referred to him derogatorily as "the vampire on Titus."

Monty Python's Flying Circus was selected from a long list of names produced in a brainstorming session involving the whole group. The "Flying Circus" part was the result of the BBC having to call the forthcoming series *something* for their internal schedule paperwork. BBC management took a cue from the way the Pythons rampaged through Television Centre and titled it "Circus", which ultimately led to the group coming up with "Barry Took's Flying Circus" (Barry Took was the comedy adviser who brought the group to the BBC, and the "Flying Circus" was the nickname of the WWI attack squad lead by Manfred von Richthofen, the original Red Baron) or some similar variation. The group liked the "Flying Circus" part and thought the title should represent a shady con-man-type's attempt at a cheap variety show and cast about for a sleazy-sounding name. John Cleese eventually came up with the last name "Python" and Eric Idle suggested "Monty" (after a patron from a pub he frequented), which also sounded like the typical first name of a small-time theatrical agent.

Yu-Gi-Oh! makes sense in the original Japanese, as it means "King of Games", and Yugi is the protagonist's name. The latter is probably the reason why the title wasn't simply translated along with the rest of the show - the connection between the title and character name would be lost, and naming him "Game" would just be weird.
Specifically it's a pun. Yugi means "Game," while "-Ou" is a suffix for King/Lord/etc., so the title means both "Game King" and "King Yugi" in Japanese. However, "Game" would be an odd name in English, and the Japanese syntax doesn't translate at all.
The sequel series also get hit with this: aside from still maintaining the "King of Games" name (which has become more and more of an anachronism, as the term itself hasn't been used since the original series and whether it could apply to any of the protagonists is debatable), each of the series has a strange subtitle related to the plot:
GX is short for "Generation NeXt", in reference to how Jaden is part of the next generation of duelists following in Yugi's footsteps. It's also directly referenced in Season 2 with the GX Tournament.
5Ds is short for "Five Dragons", a reference to the five (later six) Signers; it's also the name of the protagonists' Turbo Dueling Team in the second half of the series.
ZEXAL is the name of Yuma and Astral's special ability, allowing them to fuse together in order to perform Shining Draws. Depending on the translation, it might also be the name they go by while fused.
ARC-V is more complicated: it apparently combines the word "arc" (in reference to the arc of a pendulum, such as Yuya's pendant) and the Roman numeral for "5" (in reference to this being the fifth Yu-Gi-Oh! series). Near the end of the series, the machine used by Academia to fuse the Four Dimensions back into one is also called ARC-V.
VRAINS is an acronym for "Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence Network System", and the story revolves around a Cyber Space called LINK VRAINS.

"Fate" is often used as the name of the setting itself (as opposed to other Nasuverse settings like Tsukihime and The Garden of Sinners), which makes some of the titles (sequel Fate/hollow ataraxia, light novel prequel Fate/Zero, and Fighting Game spinoff Fate/unlimited codes) make more sense. Naturally, under this theory, "Stay Night" still requires some linguistic hoop-jumping...

TNA renamed 'The James Gang' the 'Voodoo Kin Mafia' so they could do an angle attacking WWE owner Vince Kennedy McMahon (VKM). The fact that the group had nothing to do with voodoo or the mafia and only marginally involved kinship didn't seem to matter. Later, "Voodoo Queen" Roxxi LaVeau was introduced as their valet in a vain attempt to justify the name; this didn't help as much as they thought it did.

The original title of the Battle Angel Alita manga is Hyper Future Vision Gunnm, where "Gunnm" (properly pronounced "Gan-mu") stands for "Gun Dream", which makes sense, as we are talking about a hyper-violent dystopic manga. It might also refer to Alita's battle-and-gore fetish. Ironically, guns are actually outlawed in the Gunnm universe, or at least the region where the story starts. Quite common elsewhere.

Battlestar Galactica. As silly as it sounds, it makes sense in context. The show is about a starship named Galactica, which is a Battlestar, a portmanteau of battleship and starship. It is in the same format as Battleship Potemkin.
In Finnish it is translated as Taisteluplaneetta Galactica ("Battle planet Galactica") which makes no sense whatsoever.
But then, taken literally, "Battlestar" is an even stranger name for a spacecraft than "Battleplanet." At least a planet can have people living on it.
In Russian the word "Galactica" ("галактика") means simply "galaxy", which originally led to names like Battle of Galaxies or Battle for the Galaxy, as well as direct translation of Battle Star Galactica, which sounds rather weird. Eventually, the series ended up known as Star Cruiser "Galactica".

Blame! doesn't actually involve any finger-pointing whatsoever. None. The lead characters rarely even talk. It's theorized the title is a misspelling of "Blam!", an onomatopoeia for a gun firing, rather appropriate considering the amount of gunplay. This is further supported by another of Tsutomu Nihei's works, a Wolverine miniseries for Marvel Comics, being titled Snikt!

The confusingly-named Fruits Basket is named after a Japanese kids' game also called "Fruits Basket". Makes logical, if not grammatical, sense. The problem comes from Japanese at one time lacking a tu syllable - it's tsu or to - with the result that so many English words ending in t get an extraneous final -s when transliterated into Japanese. In particular, "fruit" has issues in the fact that Japanese does not have distinct R and L consonants; furuuto is the transliteration of "flute", so "fruit" is stuck with furuutsu.

DEVILMAN crybaby, an adaptation of the manga Devilman. The addition of "crybaby" pushes it into this trope; as incongruous as it sounds, it's almost self-explanatory. The hero is a sensitive man prone to crying who obtains demonic powers.

Fans always assumed that Sticky Dilly Buns referred to the lead character, the good-looking Camp Gay Dillon, and his butt, but nobody knew for sure; some saw it as almost a Word Purée Title. Then, well into the comic's second volume, one strip confirmed the meaning of the terms, and another strip a few days later provided further confirmation with a full Title Drop.

Another Norwegian band, a-ha, had a downplayed version of this for its breakout hit, "Take on Me". While the song is coherent, the title is a literal translation of the Norwegian phrase ta på meg, which idiomatically means "touch me". Interestingly, the latter English phrase would serve as the opening words of the band's follow-up single, "The Sun Always Shines on T.V."

Homestar Runner:
Homestar Runner means nothing to someone who isn't familiar with the cartoons, but it's the name of the supposed main character. It originated when the brothers' friend (James Huggins of of Montreal) imitated an old-timey baseball announcer and referred to a player as "the home star runner." The brothers found the garbled phrase hysterical.
The trope is parodied when Strong Bad names his "crazy cartoon" Sweet Cuppin' Cakes, because "Crazy cartoons usually have titles that have nothing to do with the cartoon itself." The one full episode of said crazy cartoon seen (a Christmas Episode) is titled "Cactus Coffee and the No-Tell Motel."

Tetris Friends forces players to do this to name their Arena rooms. Room names are of the format <adjective> <adjective or noun adjunct> <noun>, with a separate list of words to choose from for each, as well as a button to randomize all three. (On the off chance more than room has the same set of 3 words, a number is appended to the end, without a space.) This tends to result in very silly names, such as "Drab Tomato Uprising" and "Cryptic Purple Hunters2". Very rarely does a room name actually make any logical sense.

Armored Core. "Nine Breaker?" "For Answer?" You can sort of justify them—"Nine Breaker" is an in-universe title given to a Raven who beats the #1 pilot in the arena, who's usually called Nine Ball, and "For Answer" is just an incredibly lame pun, as it's the follow up to Armored Core 4. But even then, they're still just weird, and they're still broken English.

The meaning behind the title of Angel Beats! doesn't become clear until the final episode. Angel, the female antagonist received Otonashi's heart ("beats"); both literally in a heart transplant while she was alive, and metaphorically in the afterlife when he falls in love with her. "My soul, your beats." Before then, there's only the weak explanation that one character is an angel and some other characters are musicians.

Kaiju Girl Caramelise: The "Kaiju Girl" part is a more straightforward example of Exactly What It Says on the Tin, as main character Kuroe Akaishi is a high school girl who intermittently turns into a Kaiju. The "Caramelise" is a bit more complicated; it references caramelization, the process of browning sugar to give it a distinct sweet taste, and in relation to the manga refers to how shy and antisocial Kuroe gradually becomes a sweeter person as she starts making friends.

Marble Hornets, in-universe, is the student film that Jay and Alex were making. In reality, it is just the first two things the creators saw when brainstorming the title. Many fans have pointed out that the 2000 novel House of Leaves, which shares many stylistic and atmospheric elements with the series, conspicuously uses the term "marble horses" at one point, possibly inspiring the title.

Pop Team Epic, naturally. "Pop" probably refers to the pop culture references, but it contains nothing resembling a team or an epic, only a series of surreal postmodern Negative Continuity skits. The Japanese title "Poptepipic" is some sort of reverse-romanization that doesn't mean much of anything. The anime has a Stylistic Suck segment called "Bob Epic Team," which doesn't involve anyone named Bob.

Cloverfield: "Cloverfield" is the in-universe designation for the events of the movie, but there's no confirmed source on what, if anything, it has to do with the plot itself. Although the monster (unnamed in the film) was given the production name "Clover" from the title. It's theorized that the name came from Cloverfield Boulevard, a street that Abrams passed frequently driving between the studio and his house.

Band names that follow this trope (see Music, above and below) get spoofed in High Fidelity when the garage band that Barry joins late in the movie calls itself "Sonic Death Monkey". When they go to perform at Rob's release party for the former shoplifters' album, Barry mentions they are no longer called "Sonic Death Monkey", and are on the verge of being called "Kathleen Turner Overdrive". Then they avert it with their current band name:

Sailor Moon: The Sailor Soldier's Magical Girl costumes deliberately resemble the common Japanese school girl uniforms, popularly known as "sailor fuku" that are patterned after traditional sailor's uniforms. The resemblance is mostly in the shirt collar and scarf. The show even referenced this in one episode of The '90s anime when Usagi used her Disguise Pen to become an actual sailor. Actually, the officially translated full title is "Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon," just to throw in a few more nouns there. Later anime arcs tack on "R", "S", "Super S", and "Sailor Stars" to the series title. R is said to stand for Rebirth and Romance, S refers to Super, according to eyecatches, as in Super Sailor Moon. Super S refers to...multiple Super Sailor Soldiers (i.e., the Sailor Team) while Sailor Stars? Probably all the Sailor Star Lights (alien Sailor Soldiers). This trope also applies to too many attack names to count. There is nothing particularly illusionary about Shine Aqua Illusion, nor do Star Serious Laser and Star Gentle Uterus actually involve lasers and uteri. (Ew.)

Transformers:
The title Transformers: Armada refers to the eventual team-up of Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons to form a giant space fleet to fight Unicron...near the end of the series, making the title a total mystery for most of the time that it was in use. Meanwhile, its title in Japan is Transformers: Micron Legend, referring to the Microns (Mini-Cons in the dub) who act as the main Mac Guffins of the conflict.
Transformers: Super-God Masterforce. "Masterforce" is the transformation phrase used by the humans turning into Transformers. "Super-God" is a translation of the Japanese word chojin (超神). Jin is how the kanji 人 is pronounced; this sound is present in the Japanese words for both human and android, and thus symbolises the combination of humans and robots (in this case, Transformers) to form the ultimate lifeform. Thus, a more accurate but less impressive name would be Transformers: Super-Human-Robot-Hybrid-Soul Masterforce. Super-God Masterforce can also refer to the Godmasters, the aforementioned fusions of human and Transformer.

Full Metal Panic!, on the other hand, is Gratuitous English and a slightly off-kilter reference to a Stanley Kubrick film.

Psycho-Pass: It sounds random but does turn out to mean something: it's a pun. The mind-scanning system that all citizens must "pass" is powered by the disembodied brains of psychopaths. A Japanese speaker would pronounce "psychopath" as "psychopassu."

The title of Salvador Dali's French impressionist film Un Chien Andalou translates as "A Dog from Andalusia" (Andalusia is a region in Spain). The film is said to have been inspired by the non-sequitur nature of dreams as nothing in the film relates to anything else or was intended to appeal to rational analysis. As it was meant to be dream-like in nature, the film has the quality of being a total mind-bendingly weird.

Mob Psycho 100: The protagonist is such a Generic Guy that he could disappear in any crowd, hence his In-Series Nickname "Mob". "Psycho" refers to his Psychic Powers, as well as the fact that he goes berserk when his emotions "top out" (represented by a scale of zero to one hundred). The title could also be a play on the phrase "mob psychology", which fits with how many people seem to start blindly following Mob for one reason or another, with him even getting his own religion.
