Line 172:
* Kurt Hummel from the musical tv show ''[[Glee]]'' is named after Kurt Von Trap from the musical ''[[The Sound of Music]]''.
** Might count for some if not all of the other Glee-club members too. Rachel's full name is Rachel Barbra Berry. She is a huge Barbra Streisand fan. Quinn's name rhymes with Finn and sounds like Queen. Santana Lopez is probably be named after the guitarist Carlos Santana and the singer Jennifer Lopez. Brittany S. Pierce's name is already explained on Glee; Britney Spears. Also: Kurt rhymes with Burt. As of season two: coach Bieste, which is pronounced "beast" and fits with her manly personality. Puck's first name, Noah, is slightly ironic. Noah is a typical [[Nice Jewish Boy]] name and contrasts with Puck's bad-boy attitude.
* The witty writers of ''[[Barney Miller]]'' had a bit of fun with this. The [[Lovable Borderline Pedophile]] director of the Rainbow House children's home, which housed a disproportionate number of child prostitutes, was named [[It's a Wonderful Life|Gower]]. A man who was desperate for a seat on the space shuttle's first commercial flights was named [[Eager Young Space Cadet|Corbett]]. Recurring character Frank ''Luger'' liked to talk about the olden days when cops used a lot more gunplay to subdue malefactors.
* Jeff Winger on ''[[Community]]'', he's spent his adult life, well, [[Not Cheating Unless You Get Caught|winging]] [[Hard Work Hardly Works|it]].
* ''The Fresh Beat Band'' is filled with these. Two band members are Twist and Shout. Their music teacher is Miss Piccolo. Their friend Reed owns a music store. Another friend is named Melody, and sings.
