Compare [[Prophetic Names]], [[Steven Ulysses Perhero]], [[They Call Him "Sword"]]. If the name is explicitly a description, it's a [[Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom]]. See also [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]], which is about names indicating being a [[Badass]] and heavily overlaps with this trope, and [[Punny Name]], which many of these names fall into as well. If it's just the initials that are meaningful, you have a [[Significant Monogram]]. Contrast with [[Non-Indicative Name]].
