Line 236:
* In ''[[Escape from Monkey Island]]'', crazy hermit Herman Toothrot admits that he suffers from [[Easy Amnesia]]. When he washed up on the island, he created his name as a backronym from the only legible initials on his last remaining possession.
* In ''[[Beneath a Steel Sky]]'', a boy is given the surname "Foster", ostensibly because he's an orphan that was "fostered", but the fact they're in Australia and the person who named him was holding a popular beer of the nation probably helped in some way. (Note: Due to copyrights and trademark stuff, the name of the beer was changed to a fictional one for many versions of the game (including the freeware one) hence spoiling the joke).
* A variation (combined with [[Foreshadowing]]) occurs in ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'': {{spoiler|in Fort Frolic, you come across posters for the play "Patrick and Moira" by [[Mad Artist|Sander Cohen]]. The names of Atlas' murdered son and wife are also Patrick and Moira, making the posters hints that Atlas is not what he seems. The posters are also hung up in Atlas's (now deserted) headquarters, making it all the more obvious he did this.}}
* In episode 3 of ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'', Homestar attempts to do this to form rhymes when he sings. You must guide Strong Bad to objects that will form an appropriate rhyme when Homestar sings them.
