Line 48:
== Family Title ==
* "Mother Alice" of ''[[Avernum]] 5''. Alice is a good name, "Mother" is a good association. However this is [[Subverted Trope|actually]] more [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: her name is M.Alice, or Malice, which is never a good thing.
* Big Brother in ''[[Nineteen Eighty
* The Mother in ''[[Dragon Age Origins]]'' is a subversion.
Line 84:
* Angel Martin of ''[[The Rockford Files]]'' is notably less than angelic. Instead he is a slimy, greedy, dishonest [[Dirty Coward]].
* Subverted with Jenna Angel from [[Digital Devil Saga]].
* [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|Princess Celestia.]]
Line 142:
* The Lovejoy family from ''[[The Simpsons]]'' is a clear parody/pastiche of this. Reverend Lovejoy is a nice guy mostly, but he's also prone to the same [[Jerkass]] behavior as the rest of the town and is occasionally too obsessed with the church (though a few episodes show him sympathetically). His wife is the leader of the town's out-of-touch [[Moral Guardians]] who often cry "[[Think of the Children]]!" Their daughter is manipulative and even downright cruel.
* ''[[Bayonetta]]'' features enemy angels, with a variety of nice-sounding names like "Beloved," "Dear & Decorations," "Cheer," "Fortitude," and so on and so forth; the major bosses of the game are even named after cardinal virtues.
* Many of the characters in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]] have a [[Meaningful Name]] that doubles as this. Who ''wouldn't'' happily leave their kids with a teacher named "Cheerilee", expect someone named "Fluttershy" to be a sweetheart, or imagine good things about a "Princess Celestia".
* ''[[Ace Attorney]]'':
** Who ''wouldn't'' trust a guy named Apollo Justice?
