* [[Longing for Fictionland]] was "Longing for Pandora" (after the setting of the movie ''[[Avatar (Film)|Avatar]]''). There was too much scope for confusion with the character from Greek myth / Pandora's box.

* [[Loot Drama]] was "The Ridill". Which it was. Few people outside the ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' fandom will know of this sword -- but [[Loot Drama]] in [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games]] is fairly common and this is usual term for it. The term gives good clues to those outside this broader camp, too.

* [[Mistreatment Induced Betrayal]] was originally "Help Face Turn". It was renamed for being a [[Bad Snowclone]] of [[Heel Face Turn]] that was entirely misleading; it sounded more like a trope about a minion making a [[Heel Face Turn]] because [[The Hero]] helped them rather than because their boss [[Bad Boss|mistreated them]].

* [[Mrs. Hypothetical]] spent maybe a few hours as "Thinking of Changing Her Name to His" before being changed. The name it launched under was intolerably wordy and didn't quite outline the general concept.

* [[Multicultural Alien Planet]] used to be "Lots of Planets Have a North". Created around a line from ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' that wasn't an example for the sake of the reference, this misleading title suggested it was [[Aliens of London]] i.e. aliens with real life accents rather than, well, a [[Multicultural Alien Planet]] -- an alien planet with distinct ethnicities, cultures, and traditions. Misuse followed.

* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]] was changed from "And Zoidberg" (via "Ladies and Alice") after significant statistically verified misuse of the name for any broad use involving "and", with "And Zoidberg" not having much to help it distinguish itself from other "and" tropes except for a very specific show reference.
