When a character has a number as a name, i.e. a numeronym. Usually this carries dehumanizing implications. This can be for (at least) two overlapping reasons: The character is an Artificial Human or robot, whose creators regard it as non-sentient (or at least did when they were handing out names). The number is a serial number or shortening thereof. The character is a prisoner or otherwise an inhabitant of a large bureaucratic institution, which assigns people numbers to keep track of them. (And in some cases, to intentionally dehumanize them.) For some reason, these implications are usually somewhat lessened when the number in question is "zero". They also don't necessarily apply to spy or superhero Code Names that are numbers (like 007), unless they become part of a Secret-Identity Identity. Having a low number (i.e. in the single digits) as a name is generally considered less humiliating than a large one. And Heaven help you if your name is 4, 13, 34, 69, 108, 420, 666, or a combination of them. Science Fiction stories, especially dystopias, are likely to use this trope to some extent. It's also common for prisoners to have serial numbers instead of names. Note that several languages have numeronyms (Japanese and Latin being the most likely to be encountered). In this case, the kids will be named in order of birth: literally, "Primus", "Secundus", "Tertius", etc. Bizarrely, this can actually also serve to humanize beings that have never had separate identities before. If you have a race of robots or drones that become sentient, they may adopt their numbers as their actual names (Ã la Artoo Deetoo and See Threepio). Compare One-Letter Name. See also: Numerical Theme Naming, Seven Is Nana, Goroawase Number. For replacing an entire area's name with a number, see Airstrip One. Not to be confused with I Am Number Four or "We Are Number One". |

Adventure Time: Jake falls down a hole and meets a bear who was stranded there on a floating raft. He claims his name is 7718, and had been stranded so long he had to carve his name on the floor in order to not forget it. However, the carving actually reads "BILL", and he had just read it upside down. The "Islands" ministries reveals every human from the island colonies is given a coded designation. Finn's designation is P-G-8-7, while Susan's is K-J-7-7, although it's only apparently used for formal documentations as they're otherwise referred to only with regular names. |

Played straight in a very positive light in Ultraman Taro. It forms the intro line to Taro's theme! What makes this instance a little clever, is that in the lore of the series, Taro is Seven's cousin! |

Played for laughs in El ChapulÃn Colorado, in an episode he goes to help a jail where all the prisoners are known by a number, and we focus on "the 24", but aside from being know only by their number, he actually have an amicable relation with the jailer, to the point that he actually leaves the cell door unlocked (it probably has to do with the fact that he is the only prisoner that hasn't escaped yet). It's implied this is the same with all prisoner, as ChapulÃn mentions a "13" (which they nicknamed the "14"). | |

Also, Fantomex. His real name is Charlie-Cluster 7, while his official codename is Weapon XIII. Last but not least: Wolverine himself, as he is Weapon X. Note, though, that originally Weapon X was simply a cool-sounding codename, until Grant Morrison decided that it was part of the much-larger Weapon Plus program, going all the way back to Weapon I in WW2: Captain America. Genoshan Mutates are only referred to by a number designation. For example when Storm & Wolfsbane were transformed into Mutates they were known an "Mutate #20" & "Mutate #490" |

Sluggy Freelance: In the 4U City storyline, everyone living in the city is known by a number instead of a name, with the exception of "His Masterness." This dehumanises the residents and also integrates them into a robotically-run bureaucratic system, although people choose not to call each other by their original regular names but by nicknames based off their number; a character assigned a number beginning 536 is nicknamed "nickle-three-six". The Borg example is parodied in a sci-fi filler storyline: "Hi, I'm 1 of 3. This is my brother, 2 of 3. And my other brother, 2 of 3. |

Tales of Berseria has a Malakhim that was introduced as simply "Number Two" that served an exorcist prior to being freed by the protagonist, Velvet. She would later give him a proper name: Laphicet, after her departed brother. In fact, the Abbey does this with all Malakhim under their control, as they don't consider them as having their own consciousness worthy of consideration. Your party rescues another Malakhim as well, who was known as "Number One," whom they name "Silva." | |

In Dark Angel, all of the transgenics have designations, except Joshua (the first) and his brother Isaac. The first part of the designation denotes their series, the second part denotes the last three digits of their number in the series. Max is X5-452, and her twin Sam is X5-453. Zack is X5-599. Alec is X5-494, and his twin Ben is X5-493. And so on. The full number is on the barcodes on the backs of their necks. |

Fire Emblem: The names of the Twelve Dark Warlords in the Japanese version of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War are the numbers one to twelve in German. In most other languages, the Deadlords are instead named for the Latin equivalents of the signs of the Chinese Zodiac. Replacement characters in the eleventh game are also numbered... sort of. (In the Japanese version, they're straight-up numbers — and in German again; the English release has something vaguely based on numbers, though it's difficult to figure out exactly how. Reportedly, if you get enough of these, they stop using numbers and start making fun of the player.) |

"Thirteen" from House is actually named Remy Hadley, but during House's intern selection process, she was assigned the number thirteen, and it just stuck. Even her boyfriend calls her "Thirteen", though, to be fair, she calls him "Foreman." And at one point, the two of them are even called "Foreteen." Heck, in one episode she identifies herself as Thirteen to a coworker (who likely only knew her by that name). |

The Stonecutters in The Simpsons refer to each other by their ranked numbers. The trope naming example is also parodied (like the rest of the series), when Homer is imprisoned on the Island during the events of "The Computer Wore Menace Shoes", which is a parody of The Prisoner (1967). He insists on being a man instead of a number only until noticing the numbered pin on his shirt, after which he proceeds to mock Number Six (played by the man himself) for having a higher number. | |

Part Time Job has the four mental hospital patients mostly be referred to as "Patient #[number]", with the numbers going from 1 to 4. Their real names are given and often used by the protagonist, Pastel, but the head of the hospital, Fluttershy, seems to prefer using just the numbers despite two of the patients being her best friends. Pastel at one point corrects Fluttershy, trying to get her to say Lyra instead of Patient #4. Fluttershy ignores her. | |

Horizon Forbidden West isn't technically an example, using a Greek letter instead of a number. Beta is a perfect genetic copy of Player Character Aloy, made at the same time (and for the same reasons) as her. Unlike Aloy, Beta was treated as a tool by her masters, the crew of the Far Zenith from birth; it's implied that no other humans even bothered to talk to her face to face until she was almost twenty. The contrast between Aloy and Beta's personalities is a central theme of the game, with Aloy (being raised apart from her tribe, but by Rost, who cleared cared for her, even if he wasn't the most obvious about it) having the same headstrong, problem-solving attitude of Elisabet Sobeck, and Beta being cowardly and pessimistic from a life of subjugation. | |

In Dark Matter (2015), the amnesiac crew of the Raza adopt numbers One through Six in the pilot episode as names as a way of identifying themselves/each other, based on the order they woke up from stasis. Even after learning their given names at the end of the pilot, they choose to stick with the numbers to dissociate from their pasts, since those pasts are as hardened criminals wanted for crimes like murder, assault, piracy and kidnapping, and they don't want to be those people anymore. With the exception of Five, the Mysterious Waif whose reason for being among them is unclear. Unlike the five adults, she has no profile in the ship's database and doesn't even learn her former name and whether or not she has any criminal past until later. She does, technically, but merely as an orphaned truant and pickpocket who stowed away, making her the most innocent member of the crew. | |

SCP Foundation: All catalogued SCPs are referred to by number whether or not they're human/sapient, in order to avoid becoming too close to Reality Warpers and other people and things of mass destruction. Human test subjects are also referred to by number. For security reasons the thirteen overseers who run the Foundation are referred to as O5-1 through O5-13note the 5 in "O5" stands for their security clearance level, instead of using their names. On days when they're feeling a little extra paranoid even the numerical designation gets censored, so you can't tell which overseer made a particular decision. |

And the point where Cloud asks Hojo to give him a number when he believes he is one of those clones. He is visibly (even more) dejected when Hojo spurns his request, disgusted that only an experiment he deemed a "failure" had succeeded as a clone. |

In The Island (2005), the clones have a sort of mix of this. A clone's first name is the last name of his or her sponsor, which is followed by a number and code for a letter (the protagonist is "Lincoln 6 Echo") to denote what "series" of clones they're from. Notably, the antagonist keeps calling the protagonist "Six Echo," instead of "Lincoln". | |

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The clone troopers' identification numbers are rarely used, with most going by names that are either self-bestowed or given by their brothers. The thing that really marks Pong Krell out as a jerkass in "Darkness on Umbara" is when he addresses the clones by number instead of name, seriously throwing off Rex: The clone's identification numbers also serve as an out of character alert after Order 66 goes live, as it is accompanied by a Death of Personality. For example, ARC trooper Jesse, one of the clones the aformentioned General Krell attempted to have executed for treason, exclusively refers to Commander Rex as CT-7567 after the order is given, and attempts to execute Rex when he won't pull the trigger on Ahsoka. |

Xion is a double example. She shares Organization XIII's number theme but even her "real" name is a number; her serial number designation in the Replica Program is "No. i" aka the imaginary number. Saïx outright tells Roxas that's why they never bothered to rename themselves Organization XIV. | |

Zombies, Run!: The player character is assigned as "Runner Five" in the first mission. From then on, every other character calls them "Five" or "Runner Five." They are never referred to by name. This is justified in that the app developers wanted to allow the player to totally immerse themselves in the game. All of the other Runners were also assigned numbers to keep the theme going. Mission 13 also brings us Arthur Gurkhan, much more commonly known as Patient 29 or Patient Zero, depending on the context of the conversation. |

Luther/Spaceboy is Number One, Diego/Kraken is Number Two, Allison/Rumor is Number Three, Klaus/Séance is Number Four, Ben/Horror is Number Six, and Vanya/White Violin is Number Seven. The exception is Number Five, who accidentally get stuck in the future before being given a name, and thus is referred to by number.

All of the patients in Ruby Quest have Subject Numbers, which are used to refer to them in most notes (usually they're called by their actual names in person). A list: Stitches is Subject #1. Maddie is Subject #2. Lucy is Subject #3. Jay is Subject #4. Tom is Subject #5 or at least, that's what the players thought for most of the quest. He's really Subject #6, and the person they thought was Subject #6 was really Subject #5. Tom Nook is Subject #6, and is often referred to by his number even though it's wrong due to problems with the One-Steve Limit. Ruby is Subject #7. Daisy is Subject #8. |

Played twice in Super Robot Wars: The W Numbers (including Lamia Loveless, Echidna Iisaki, Wodan Ymir, Aschen Broedel, Harken Browning), named after the sequence in the order they were created. However, its creator Lemon wanted to make them look 'more human' thus gave them names, despite the tendency of Vindel using their numbers (though to be honest, Lamia made up her own name) The School tends to give their students numerical codenames, which start with a metal name, followed by a number. The member of the School staff who was not evil gave them regular names later. Ouka Nagisa was called Aurum 1. Same thing applies to Arado Balanga (Bronzo 27), Seolla Schweitzer (Bronzo 28) and Latooni (Latooni 11, because Cuervo never thought up a name for her) Subota. |

Replacement characters in the eleventh game are also numbered... sort of. (In the Japanese version, they're straight-up numbers — and in German again; the English release has something vaguely based on numbers, though it's difficult to figure out exactly how. Reportedly, if you get enough of these, they stop using numbers and start making fun of the player.) | |

The Umbrella Academy (2019): Sir Reginald Hargreeves named the seven children he adopted to make the Umbrella Academy after numbers. It wasn't until a few years after they were born that their robot mother Grace gave them actual names. Luther is Number One, Diego is Number Two, Allison is Number Three, Klaus is Number Four, Ben is Number Six, and Viktor (né Vanya) is Number Seven. Unlike the comics, Number Five disappeared after they were named, yet he still only goes by his number for unknown reasons. In Season 3, the Umbrellas arrive in an alternate universe in which Reginald adopted a different group of seven children (sans Ben) to form The Sparrow Academy. Marcus is Number One, Ben is Number Two, Fei is Number Three, Alphonso is Number Four, Sloane is Number Five, Jayme is Number Six, and Christopher is Number Seven. |

In Fallout 4, Institute synths are referred to by a serial number (eg: H2-22). Factions that believe them to be sentient allow them to choose names, but the Institute itself doggedly sticks to numbers as part of its "Just a Machine" rhetoric. | |

X-Men Film Series In X2: X-Men United, General Stryker had his son Jason lobotomized after lashing out against him and his wife. Since then, the General simply refers to him as "Mutant 143". When Professor X expresses his shock over it, asking why he'd do this to his own son, Stryker simply answers with: "No, Charles. My son is dead. Just like the rest of you." Weapon XI/Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In X-Men: First Class, Erik Lehnsherr outs himself as a Holocaust survivor to some Nazis he was amicably chatting with (and planning to kill). When they asked for the names of his parents, being from the same town, he answered that they "had no names — they were stolen from them" before showing his own concentration camp number. Violence ensues. |

The DRD 1812 in the science fiction series Farscape is a subversion. The DRDs in general have no names or independent identities, so anything that sets them apart actually serves to humanize them. 1812 is named for Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture", which it sometimes plays, and it is further identified by its unique red, white, and blue paint job. | |

Fighter pilots are also given numbers, which they are supposed to (but don't always) use on the communications broadcasts, to preserve their identity in case their encryption gets broken and the enemy intercepts their transmissions. This is seen mostly in the X-Wing Series and other series that feature fighter pilots, but shows up in other places as well, including the movies. | |

Halo: The Spartan-IIs. Notable examples include Kurt-051, Linda-058, Kelly-087, Fred-104, and of course, John-117, better known as Master Chief. The Forerunner AI constructs may count as well; see 343 Guilty Spark and 2401 Penitent Tangent. This also counts as an Arc Number, given Bungie's penchant for the number seven (343=7*7*7, 2401=7*7*7*7). Spartan-IIIs are named similarly to the IIs, but they also feature a letter depending on the company (e.g. Emile-A239, Lucy-B091, Ash-G099), with the letters being the Latin initials of Greek letters (Alpha, Beta, Gamma). In Halo: Reach, player character SPARTAN-B312 is known only as Noble Six, as the sixth member of Noble Team. The other five members, in order of numbers, are Carter-A259 (1), Catherine-B320 (2), Jun-A266 (3), Emile-A239 (4), and Jorge-052 (5). |

Steven Universe: The standard identification format on the Gem Homeworld is gem type, then facet of origin, then finally their specific cut — unless they're a gemstone that's not faceted, then they're numbered by cabochon. Their reactions to this vary. Peridot is visibly upset when ordered to introduce herself as "Peridot, Facet 2F5L, Cut 5XG" because it reminds her that she's not important. Eyeball casually reports herself as "Ruby, [Facet] 1F4, Cut 4ND" because she's fiercely loyal to her Homeworld. Amethyst is actually exhilarated to finds out she's "Facet 5, Cut 8XM", because it makes her feel less like a misfit, especially since the other Amethysts remembered her well enough to tell her. The humans in The Zoo born in Gem captivity are all assigned a name consisting of a letter and a number. The dehumanizing aspect is completely lost on them — they don't seem to even know what letters or numbers are. |

Class Zero of Final Fantasy Type-0 has a general gambling/playing cards motif theme for all members sans Machina and Rem, who lack Code Names. This leads to nine of the group's 14 members falling into this trope: Ace, Deuce, Trey, Cater, Cinque, Sice, Seven, Eight, and Nine. note The first six are named for the numbers 1-6 in a dice game and thus correspond with the French numbers un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, and six, though Ace's name also fits into the playing card motif, as three other members of Class Zero are Jack, Queen, and King, as do Deuce and Trey (the "2" and "3" cards in a standard 52-card deck). In fact, the only playing cards that aren't represented among the group are 10 and Joker, and that's only because Arecia (Class Zero's "mother") barred two other students named Tiz (Hungarian for "ten") and Joker (self-explanatory) from joining, instead relegating them to a different role. | |

In the first Hitman film, all the assassins are trained from a very young age as such, stripped of their names and left with numbers. Somewhat more elaborate example in the remake, which, in addition to the original numbered assassins — complete with the scene of 47 proclaiming his "name" to be such - also includes Katia Van Dees... Who's name is actually Quatre-Vingt-Dix, french for Ninety. That's 43 versions better then the titular character. |

Subverted by the black mages of Final Fantasy IX. Except for Vivi, they are all known by their numbers (Mr. 234, Black Mage No. 12, etc.), but this actually serves to humanize them as they begin developing their own personalities. They deliberately seem to adopt the numbers as their names, even going so far as to introduce themselves this way to strangers. | |

Final Fantasy VI has two numbered bosses in the Magitek Research Facility. Number 24 is a human-like construct that attacks the party just before the chamber with the Espers in People Jars and changes its elemental weaknesses. Number 128 attacks the party on the railway escape route, and is a large purple monster with two claws. | |

The comedy Multiplicity involves a construction contractor getting a scientist to make him a clone to help out with work. The clone has a "2" tattooed behind his ear and is generally referred to either as "Doug #2", "#2", or just "2". Later, Doug makes "Doug #3" to help out around the house and keep "Doug #2" company. Then "Doug #2" and "Doug #3" make "Doug #4" to do small chores. They eventually get used to being called by their numbers. | |

In the Bugs Bunny short Big House Bunny, when Bugs digs to Sing Song Prison (he was trying to escape the hunting grounds since it was rabbit season), the warden, Sam Schultz (played by Yosemite Sam), mistakes him for Prisoner 77174, but Bugs insists, "I'm not 77174. I'm only three and a half." So Schultz thereby makes him prisoner 3½. In "Lighter Than Hare," Yosemite Sam of Outer Space sends robot ZX29B after Bugs. It doesn't end well for ZX29B. |

Hitman: Agent 47. Even though it's a code number (as reflected by the barcode number on the back of his head; 6405-0509-0147), we never do learn his name. The reason given for his number is that he is the 47th genetically-engineered assassin produced by Professor Ort-Meyer, and he killed all of the others. Well, he thought so until he met 17... and then killed him. There is also Subject 6, The Shadow Client, who was revealed to be a clone like 47 in Hitman 2. |

Fandom example: In the Xenoblade Chronicles 1 community, it's become common courtesy to refer to the seventh party member as Seven in spoiler-free conversation, as everything about them from their name down answers several of the plot's biggest driving questions and character arcs. Particularly considerate posts will even call Four, Five and Six this way (the first three aren't usually censored, being The Hero, The Lancer, and a character who joins you as soon as you meet). | |

Similarly, the fourth (permanent) driver that joins the party in Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is referred to as Four for similarly (but not nearly as dramatically) spoilerriffic reasons as Seven above. Oddly, this is zig-zagged with the fifth driver, as promotional material really makes it obvious he joins the party later in the game, but is obfuscated by the previous driver joining first. | |

Sena starts jump-starting their character development by trying to give them actual names, starting with their leader, No. 7, whom she names "Segiri" (derived from the words "seven" and "onigiri", the food Sena gives the girl when they first meet). | |

A Certain Droll Hivemind: The Misaka clones are numbered this way, such as the protagonist, Misaka-11111. When her psychiatrist explained that she needed a name to differentiate herself and fit in with society, she chose... 11111. When that was denied, she chose Mikoto-1. When that was denied, she chose Misaka Yui. Her psychiatrist missed the pun ("Misaka Yui" can be translated as "Just Misaka") and allowed it. | |

Azur Lane: Stemming from the Kriegsmarine's lack of names for their destroyers and U-boats, the Ironblood destroyers based on them, being Z18 and onwards, as well as all eight of their submarines and the submarines of the Sakura Empire do not have a historic ship name and are thus referred to only by their designation. Special mention to Z23, who the community often refers to by the Goroawase Number reading "Nimi". Z46 points this out in her questline and quotes, urging you to give her a name through the Oath marriage mechanic, implying "Weiss" as her choice. It should be noted that at least in German, this would not solve the issue, as Weiss is not a typical name, despite pop cultural suggestions to the contrary. |

Throughout the first two seasons of Futurama, there are cameo appearances by an elderly man with the number, 9, on his shirt. He was initially supposed to represent a fictional caste system in which a person's number determined their social status. This idea was eventually abandoned and, when he got a major role in the fourth film, the number served as his given name instead. | |

Planescape: Torment has a man coming from a city of metal whose only possessions were his name and his number. When he offered to share his number with a suffering woman, she stole both. Depending on how you resolve the situation, you may actually claim the number for yourself; it takes the form of a tattoo and offers protection (because there's safety in numbers). | |

Ultraseven earned his name because Ultra Garrison considered him their seventh member (all of other other members were referred as Ultra #, like Ultra-1 for Commander Kiriyama)... Supposedly; there was a line explaining this in the script - and it's treated as canon - but it got cut during editing, so it comes out of nowhere when he's called such in the second episode.note The actual source is apparently something writer Tetsuo Kinjo came up with for a different show, along the lines of a group of seven ape-men adventurers. It sounded better than "Ultra Eye" or "Redman" (working title and character name) so they used it for the upcoming Ultra show instead. Throughout the franchise, "Seven" is treated as a nickname among those familiar with him. Prior to coming to Earth, his name among the Ultras was "(Stationary Observer) Number 340". Also Seven's son is named Ultraman Zero. Why Zero, and not six or eight? Rule of Cool! |

Five Deadly Venoms: Downplayed. Each of the title characters is mainly referred to by the name of the venomous animal associated with their style of kung fu, but they are also often referred to by the order in which they were taught by the Poison Clan's master - for example, Centipede was the first student, and is sometimes referred to as Number 1. However, each of them is also given a proper name, and there's also a sixth student who knows a smattering of each of the styles, so in addition to his actual name (Yang Tieh) he is sometimes referred to as Number Six. | |

Final Fantasy: Final Fantasy VI has two numbered bosses in the Magitek Research Facility. Number 24 is a human-like construct that attacks the party just before the chamber with the Espers in People Jars and changes its elemental weaknesses. Number 128 attacks the party on the railway escape route, and is a large purple monster with two claws. Final Fantasy VII: There's the various Sephiroth clones distinguished by their Number Tattoos. It's not entirely clear if their creator, Hojo, meant for Red XIII to be part of this sequence. And the point where Cloud asks Hojo to give him a number when he believes he is one of those clones. He is visibly (even more) dejected when Hojo spurns his request, disgusted that only an experiment he deemed a "failure" had succeeded as a clone. Subverted by the black mages of Final Fantasy IX. Except for Vivi, they are all known by their numbers (Mr. 234, Black Mage No. 12, etc.), but this actually serves to humanize them as they begin developing their own personalities. They deliberately seem to adopt the numbers as their names, even going so far as to introduce themselves this way to strangers. Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker has the Omicrons, a race of extraterrestrial robots who all have designations like N-7000 or M-017. Omega reveals that these names actually do hold meaning: Each refers to a celestial body of some sort. In particular, "M-017" equates to what Eorzeans would refer to as the "Omega" nebula. Class Zero of Final Fantasy Type-0 has a general gambling/playing cards motif theme for all members sans Machina and Rem, who lack Code Names. This leads to nine of the group's 14 members falling into this trope: Ace, Deuce, Trey, Cater, Cinque, Sice, Seven, Eight, and Nine. note The first six are named for the numbers 1-6 in a dice game and thus correspond with the French numbers un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, and six, though Ace's name also fits into the playing card motif, as three other members of Class Zero are Jack, Queen, and King, as do Deuce and Trey (the "2" and "3" cards in a standard 52-card deck). In fact, the only playing cards that aren't represented among the group are 10 and Joker, and that's only because Arecia (Class Zero's "mother") barred two other students named Tiz (Hungarian for "ten") and Joker (self-explanatory) from joining, instead relegating them to a different role. |

Magic: The Gathering has the Phyrexian outcast Xantcha. She explains in the novel Planeswalker that "Xantcha" in Phyrexian is the number of the box she was assigned to sleep in. One of her first acts of rebellion was to continue thinking of herself as "Xantcha" after being moved to a different position, turning it into a personal name rather than the designator of an interchangeable part. The dryad planeswalker Wrenn has needed to maintain permanent bonds with trees (meanings she's more like a hamadryad) ever since her sparking left her with a constant internal burn (being in a tree controls the damage and aids in countervailing healing). While bonding with a tree gives it sentience and some sapience, it doesn't add a sense of self-naming that it didn't start with in the first place. The sequential numbers she gives them (in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, she disengages from Six to let him finally rest as an ordinary oak again, and accepts and bonds with Seven) are simply all the naming that the trees themselves personally need, and the numbering does nothing to depersonalize them for her. |

Most of the agents from Get Smart, including "Agent 99" who otherwise has No Name Given. Maxwell Smart's number is 86. The choice of numbers is an intentional hint that, though Max outranks 99, she is the more competent agent.note 86 is an old lunch-counter slang code for "don't serve this customer", among other things, so it may be a Meaningful Name that refers to how destructive Max is. There's also the perpetually unlucky 13 who is never given a name. According to the show's creators, 99 was originally supposed to be "Agent 69", but they couldn't get it past the censors. In "Leadside", the Chief, 99 and 86 are trying to organise a dragnet of CONTROL agents across several highways which are also numbered. Hilarity Ensues as everyone gets the numbers all mixed up. |

The brothers in Stardust who kill each other off for the throne and then hang around as ghosts to see who gets it were apparently bred expressly for this purpose, so that whoever should inherit should have earned it by cunning and strength. They were therefore named impersonally, with Latin names designating their birth order, Primus to Septimus. Their sister is named Una, but nobody pays her much heed, as only a male can inherit the throne. | |

Metroid Dread has the boss monster Experiment No. Z-57, a bio-engineered creation of the Mawkin Chozo. Considering the creature is first seen by Samus still "under construction" in Dairon and only wakes up after getting possessed by the X Parasites, it's likely that the Mawkin simply never had a chance to give it a proper name before that point. | |

Generator Rex has Agent Six. Unlike many other examples, this is not a demeaning tag, but a rank denoting him as the sixth most deadliest person on the planet. note To give an idea of what sort of people are on this list, Dos can fight evenly against both Six (wielding two blades that can pierce anything) and Rex (using two giant super axes) with just a walking stick (which is also a Sword Cane) for over a minute. Trey (3) has super human strength. I.V. (as in the Roman numeral for 4) can use his bandages like living snares and whips, and can crush rocks with them. Five uses a guitar as her weapon, and is skilled enough with the instrument to kill opponents in melee combat without using a modified version. The dehumanizing factor, however, is still there. Between the suit and the lack of any name other than Six; rather than being demeaning, it suggests willing alienation and emotional detachment. (He has a Hidden Heart of Gold, but it's just that: hidden.) | |

The young son of late leader Brodie Lee*While he's made appearances with the stable, he isn't physically involved in matches yet, seeing that he was only 8 years old at his father's passing in late December 2020. Nonetheless, he's signed to an official AEW contract., now the stable's titular leader, is still referred to sometimes as –1 (or spelled out as "Negative One"), but is now usually called Mr. Brodie Lee Jr. | |

In Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, the "names" of the dragons, er, "D-Constructs" are simply numbers in Gratuitous Russian. "Odjn" (One), "Dva" (Two, mistranslated as "Dover", and Chetyre (Four). Guess which one is the Big Bad. The D-Ratio is a part of everyone's name unless they're fugitives on the run (Lin and Trinity), the Regents or those so far low on the social hierarchy that they're considered experimental animals (Nina). Meaning Ryu's legal name is Ryu 1/8192. | |

Peanuts: In the early 1960s, the strip had a character named 5 (full name 555 95472). His sisters were 3 and 4. (Fans of the strip have probably seen these three characters without even knowing it; they are in the dance scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas.) 5 said that his father named his kids that way as a reaction to all the numbers (such as the then-new ZIP Code) being put on people in modern life. Charlie Brown's sister Sally meets 5 in one strip and thinks about being married to him. |

The Ultra Series Ultraseven earned his name because Ultra Garrison considered him their seventh member (all of other other members were referred as Ultra #, like Ultra-1 for Commander Kiriyama)... Supposedly; there was a line explaining this in the script - and it's treated as canon - but it got cut during editing, so it comes out of nowhere when he's called such in the second episode.note The actual source is apparently something writer Tetsuo Kinjo came up with for a different show, along the lines of a group of seven ape-men adventurers. It sounded better than "Ultra Eye" or "Redman" (working title and character name) so they used it for the upcoming Ultra show instead. Throughout the franchise, "Seven" is treated as a nickname among those familiar with him. Prior to coming to Earth, his name among the Ultras was "(Stationary Observer) Number 340". Also Seven's son is named Ultraman Zero. Why Zero, and not six or eight? Rule of Cool! Played straight in a very positive light in Ultraman Taro. It forms the intro line to Taro's theme! What makes this instance a little clever, is that in the lore of the series, Taro is Seven's cousin! |

Two-Six of the Green Lantern Corps comes from a mathematics-based culture where everyone is designated by the their birth order in a given year. Her full name is 2-6-8-1-7-9-5, but is nicknamed Two-Six for short. Upon being inducted into the Indigo Tribe, Iroque forsook her birth name, but says the others can call her Indigo-1 to distinguish her. |

It started in the 19th century, and can notably be seen in Zulu where a couple of soldiers are referred to by their name plus service number, because the name was too common. Something similar happened during the Civil War, particularly in the U.S. Colored Troops (many of whom had just gotten a last name, which cut down on the variety). | |

In Invasion of Astro-Monster, the aliens from Planet X refer to King Ghidorah as Monster Zero, Godzilla as Monster Zero One, and Rodan as Monster Zero Two. This carries over into Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), where the Monarch organization refer to a mysterious Monster in the Ice as Monster Zero, since they know nothing else about him. Naturally, he turns out to be that movie's incarnation of Ghidorah. |

Zero Escape: In all three games, the mastermind behind the Deadly Game the characters have been forced to play adopts the alias "Zero." Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors has each of the characters (but Junpei and the Ninth Man) adopt an alias based on the numbered bracelets they are wearing to keep their identities secret: 1 = Ace (the playing card) 2 = Snake (snake eyes on a pair of dice; extra meaningful since he's also blind and snakes can't see very well) 3 = Santa ("san", the Japanese word for "three") 4 = Clover (a four-leaf clover) 6 = June (the sixth month of the year) 7 = Seven (seven) 8 = Lotus (a flower with eight petals) In Virtue's Last Reward, one route has you meet a GAULEM (a type of android) who philosophizes about how GAULEMs and humans aren't too different, right down to having "names". He uses the last four letters of his serial code, G-OLM, as his name, because it would be stupid for people to just call him "GAULEM"... only to then realize that his name is pronounced exactly the same as it. In the Japanese version, his name is 506 (pronounced as "go-rei-mu"). |

Robo from Chrono Trigger used to have a mere serial number for a name (R-66Y), but Marle thought that made him see more like a thing than a person and renamed him.

Doctor Who: In-universe it has been established that the Doctor's nickname in the academy on Gallifrey (not his name; his name is secret) was "Theta Sigma", which isn't actually numbers but carries a similar tone. In the fandom, of course, it is customary to distinguish the different regenerations of the Doctor by simply referring to them by number. David Tennant's Doctor is "Ten", for example. And not just the fandom: In "The Ark", the Monoids refer to each other this way. Also, although he is a robot and it counts as a Punny Name, K-9. Another example is the Ood, which have no names but are referred to by a numerical designation such as "Ood 1-alpha-1". "The Eleventh Hour" features a Prisoner Zero. It is not an example of My Hero, Zero. |

All of them have since adopted more common names (but only first names, no sir names) and only use their original title as a codename, for instance Michael is Psychic 13 and Gabriel is Psychic 7. The last of the originals, Psychic 19, has no new name, and is only called by the name "19". Except for Michael, who continues to call her different names until he finds one she likes. | |

The Cylons from Battlestar Galactica (2003), especially Six. Most of the others were originally introduced as if they were human, giving them a name before their model number was revealed, and are often referred to collectively as "Sharons", "Leobens" etc. whereas Sixes are "Sixes" (and are the only model that's used more than one name for various copies: Shelly, Gina, Natalie, Lida, Sonja). Ronald D. Moore has confirmed the name "Number Six" as another nod to The Prisoner. One version of Six is nicknamed "Caprica-Six" or "Caprica" by other Cylons, however — she was the No. Six that went to Caprica to lay the groundwork of the destruction of the Colonies. Thus, "Caprica-Six". On the subject of Cylons and Caprica, one wonders whether Daniel Graystone would continue to call the robot U-87 if he knew that Zoe was actually in there. |

The entire KND in Codename: Kids Next Door subscribes to this. Its operatives refer to one another by their given "numbuhs" in all except the most dire situations. Rather unusually for this trope, the numbers are self-assigned. This has led to Numbuh 65.3, Numbuh 74.239, Numbuhs 44a and 44b (a set of twins), and Numbuh T, amongst others. As for the main characters in Sector V, their real names either include their respective numbers or at least reference them: Nigel Uno (Spanish and Italian for "one"), Hoagie P. Gilligan, Jr. (second in his family to have that name), Kuki Sanban (Japanese for "third"), Wallabee Beatles (as in the Fab Four), and Abigail Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln appears on the American five-dollar bill). | |

When Violet asks the boy what his name is, he responds by holding up six fingers. Later on, the Big Bad reveals to Violet why Six is known as such: Six is not his son, but his clone; specifically, number six in a series of eight. | |

Star Wars: The Bad Batch generally seems to follow the trend that its predecessor set depicting clones that are affected by the Order 66 programming as numbers, and those who aren't by name. Crosshair is first identified as "CT-9904" in the premier episode. The Elite Squad and the TK troopers are inversions, as they're recruits instead of clones, but they go by by numerical designations. Lampshaded by Echo before either actually appear in the show. |

Tsukihime: Nrvnsqr Chaos certainly doesn't seem like an example of this trope...but that first name is actually roman numerals and it adds up to 666. The Church apparently decided to name him that as he doesn't really care about names anymore. Also, Nanako aka the Seventh Scripture. Presumably, there are at least six other scriptures...which are probably not alive like she is. Oh well. | |

A common theme in The Prisoner, and Trope Namer. Made more interesting in that the creator once revealed that the true identity of "Number One" is revealed in the opening narration, but that it wasn't his fault if people put the comma in the wrong place... "Who is Number One?" "You are, Number Six." See how it works? Given a Shout-Out in the Prisoner-esque Nowhere Man when Veil infiltrates a paranoid militia and is renamed Number Six. |

Armored Core: As stated above, AC gives us Hustler 1 and Nine Ball. Armored Core 2 and Another Age also give us Nine Ball Seraph. Somewhat subverted with Hustler 1, in that there's an untold number of him scattered throughout the world (and some on Mars too), and every last one of them is referred to by the exact same name... If that last part doesn't scare anybody, the fact that Nineball is an Ensemble Dark Horse for the series through sheer Nintendo Hard, should. In fact, there is a title in-verse named specifically after Nineball ("Ninebreaker") simply because he was the one who held the position of #1 pilot the longest. In addition, in the original Armored Core, if you went into debt after screwing up enough missions, you would sell your body to science. This would give your character new benefits in the AC and reset the game to the beginning. It was a way of the game giving you a second chance to get better. After going through the "plus" operation, your character would be renamed "RebelXXX". The three numbers were random. |

Averted in some Star Wars Legends works in that droids would be referred to by names instead of by their official designations. In the X-Wing series of novels, most of the R series astromech droids in Rogue Squadron are given names by their pilots. For example, Corran Horn's R2-D2 unit was referred to as Whistler, and the R5-D2 that Wedge Antilles used was named Mynock until Wedge had Mynock's memory wiped and systems upgraded. This resulted in the droid's designation changing to R5-G8, which Wedge shortened to Gate. Gavin Darklighter initially called his R2 unit Jawaswag before renaming him Catch. | |

Seth from Street Fighter IV is actually part of a mass-produced series of identical clones; they are the only one of the group to develop their own personality (thus insisting on their given name) and hates being called by their number. In this case, they're number 15, and the copy that is fought in their story is number 21. Abel is also implied to be either the original model for Seth's creation, or that Abel is a defective, human clone rather than a machine, in which case Seth is the original. Capcom has unfortunately left the characters' endings a little too open-ended. | |

Star Trek: Voyager: Seven of Nine's birth name (before she was assimilated as a child) was Annika Hansen. When she was later freed from the Collective by Captain Janeway, the latter suggested replacing her Borg designation (Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One) with her human name. Seven of Nine refuses, as she's not happy about "becoming human" in the first place, so they compromise on "Seven of Nine." An interesting example of someone asserting their individuality via this trope (although you could say Seven was deliberately "dehumanizing" herself). The name was commonly further shortened as simply "Seven." Throughout the series, there are passing references made to the designation of other Borg (usually by the Borg Queen). The Borg also designate alien species by code numbers (e.g. humans are Species 5618). Notably, a major hostile alien race in Voyager is only ever called "Species 8472" in-show, although in the non-canon Expanded Universe, they became the Undine. Played for Laughs in the episode "The Omega Directive", when Seven of Nine is put in charge of a project and assigns each member of the group a Borg-style designation to "improve efficiency". When Six of Ten (a.k.a. Harry Kim) complains, Seven "demotes" him to Two of Ten. |

Street Fighter: From Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, there is Twelve, a living weapon developed by Gill's Illuminati to hunt down and destroy Necro. Street Fighter V introduced one of Twelve's prototypes, Eleven, who was eventually repurposed as material to use in the resurrection of Charlie Nash after his death in Alpha 2. Seth from Street Fighter IV is actually part of a mass-produced series of identical clones; they are the only one of the group to develop their own personality (thus insisting on their given name) and hates being called by their number. In this case, they're number 15, and the copy that is fought in their story is number 21.

Clones were given their production numbers as their names, resulting in a series of letters and numbers as their "official" names. The Jedi were more understanding, and most of them allowed their clone charges to have nicknames, both for the ease of identification and for individuality. Sadly, after Revenge of the Sith these were all but obliterated. | |

All-Loving Hero Wander meets him, bonds with him and gives him the name "Beep Boop," and his Mook–Face Turn is signaled by his refusal to answer to his numerical "name" when Dominator orders him to give her the location of an inhabited planet she plans to destroy for its resources. | |

Many pieces of Classical Music have numbers as titles. If a composition doesn't have words or a story attached to it, the most convenient way to keep it straight from the others is the order in which it was premiered, so we get pieces like "Symphony no. 5 in C minor" or "String Quartet no. 14." Composers may also give their works "opus numbers" to identify the order in which they were written or published. If the composer neglects to do this, later musicologists may catalog and number their works for them. For instance, Mozart's compositions were given chronological numbers by Ludwig von Köchel, so you'll see his pieces identified like "Requiem, K. 626." | |

One of the major reveals in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] is that the true plan for Organization XIII was to gather up Nobodies and implant them with (Master) Xehanort's heart, effectively turning them into Xehanort as part of a greater plot to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts. The combination of various defections and betrayals within the group and Sora and Riku thinning out their ranks throughout Chain of Memories and II ultimately derailed this, forcing a time-displaced, younger incarnation of Xehanort to gather up various versions of himself throughout history along with others who had been successfully turned into Xehanort vessels (many of whom were affiliated with the previous Organization) as a backup plan. By Kingdom Hearts III, Organization XIII is reassembled, now known as the "real" Organization XIII and the Thirteen Seekers of Darkness. Not counting a handful of reserve members, the order now goes: I. Master Xehanort, II. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (aka Xehanort's Heartless), III. Xemnas, IV. Xigbar, V. Luxord, VI. Larxene, VII. Marluxia, VIII. Saix, IX. Terra-Xehanort, X. Dark Riku (aka Riku Replica), XI. Vanitas, XII. Young Xehanort, XIII. Xion. Sora was originally meant to be the thirteenth member, though when the attempt to convert him failed in 3D, Xion was reconstituted using Vexen's research to serve as a substitute. | |

Done in a slightly cryptic way in The Matrix series, with Neo (identified as "the one" and also an anagram of "one"), Trinity, and Cypher (one somewhat esoteric definition of cypher (also spelled "cipher") is the digit zero; it comes from the Arabic word "sifr", which means, well, zero. Technically "zero" also comes from "sifr", but that's a whole other matter). In The Animatrix, it is mentioned that the machines named their city "01". |

Kingdom Hearts: Organization XIII's members are given a number based on the order they joined. In order: I. Xemnas, II. Xigbar, III. Xaldin, IV. Vexen, V. Lexaeus, VI. Zexion, VII. Saïx, VIII. Axel, IX. Demyx, X. Luxord, XI. Marluxia, XII. Larxene, XIII. Roxas, XIV. Xion. Vexen sometimes addresses other members by only their number and admonishes some of the higher-numbered members for their lack of respect towards him even though their numbers only indicate seniority, not their actual standing in the Organization's hierarchy. Xion is a double example. She shares Organization XIII's number theme but even her "real" name is a number; her serial number designation in the Replica Program is "No. i" aka the imaginary number. Saïx outright tells Roxas that's why they never bothered to rename themselves Organization XIV. One of the major reveals in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] is that the true plan for Organization XIII was to gather up Nobodies and implant them with (Master) Xehanort's heart, effectively turning them into Xehanort as part of a greater plot to obtain the power of Kingdom Hearts.

In the early 1960s, the strip had a character named 5 (full name 555 95472). His sisters were 3 and 4. (Fans of the strip have probably seen these three characters without even knowing it; they are in the dance scene in A Charlie Brown Christmas.) 5 said that his father named his kids that way as a reaction to all the numbers (such as the then-new ZIP Code) being put on people in modern life. | |

Stitch from Lilo & Stitch was originally called Experiment 626. In The Series, only his creator Jumba regularly calls him that. Same thing happens to the other 625 experiments, to whom Lilo gives proper names after finding their one true place. Even then, Stitch's two immediate successors (627 and 628) were never given a name and still have this trope apply to them. | |
