Line 7:
Compare also [[Famous-Named Foreigner]], when foreign characters are named after famous people from their countries just because the creators [[Did Not Do the Research]]. If the name in question isn't actually the character's real name but a fake one that they're using after a real or fictional famous person, it's a [[Character Name Alias]].

== Anime and Manga ==
* [[Recurring Extra|The three recurring old geezers]] on ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' had thematic names—Antonio, Carlos and Jobim. Put them together and you get the name of a famous musician.
Line 66:
* James Jesse, the first [[The Flash|Trickster]], invoked [[Steven Ulysses Perhero]] when he decided to commit robberies like his "reverse namesake" Jesse James. In-universe, this was definitely not intentional on his parents' part; a later retcon had it that his father was an Italian immigrant who'd Anglicized their names while unaware of the potential implications.
== Fan Works ==
* A [[Theme Naming|regular practice]] of the Black family from the British Intelligence Community, in ''[[The Teraverse|Hermione Granger and the Boy Who Lived]]''. Where their counterparts in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' books named their children after constellations and celestial bodies, the Teraverse Blacks name their children after [[Incredibly Lame Pun|a different kind of star entirely.]]
