Odd Name Out: Difference between revisions

** According to [[The Other Wiki]], in the original Japanese version, one set of names for them (see [http://www.exotica.org.uk/wiki/Lost_In_Translation/Puckman here]) was Akabei (or "赤ベイ", with 赤 meaning "red"), Pinky, Aosuke (or "青助", with 青 meaning "blue"), and Guzuta (or "愚図た", with 愚図 meaning "indecisive person" or "someone who lags behind"). Guzuta is the only one that doesn't refer to a color.

* Commonly used in the different levels of ''[[Kirby]]'' games.

* In ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]: The Wind Waker'', the Tingle brothers: Tingle, Ankle, Knuckle, and David Jr, although the latter isn't actually related.

* ''[[Zone of the Enders]]'': Most of the important characters' [[Humongous Mecha]] are named after Egyptian deities... Except for [[Gradius|Vic Viper]], which is the only one not powered by the [[Unobtainium]] known as Metatron.

* In ''[[The Incredibles]]'', the two older children have names and powers that are symbolic of their time of life—hyperactive ten-year-old Dash, who has super speed, and shy fifteen-year-old Violet, who can turn invisible.<ref>Although her clothes don't, unless specially made to do so. Her name is also symbolic in that ultraviolet is invisible to human eyes, and [[Agatha Christie]] would have smiled at the name if she'd lived to see the movie, for "violet" in the language of flowers means "modesty".</ref> Then there's the baby, Jack-Jack, who doesn't appear to have any powers or a significant name.<ref>But "Jack-Jack" sounds like it may be a nickname rather than his real name. {{spoiler|And in the last act of the movie, we see that he has a veritable cornucopia of powers, thus making him a "Jack" of all Trades.}}</ref>

* An episode of the Disney series ''[[Bonkers]]'' had the eponymous character being followed by agents Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and [[The Beatles|Ringo]].

* The Possible family in ''[[Kim Possible]]'' has Kim, Jim, Tim, Slim, (great aunt) Mim and Joss.

* In ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'' we get Toaster, Lampy, Radio, Blanky, and... Kirby? It's a type of vacuum, but still.

* [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]: Out of all living people in the Fire Nation Royal Family, Zuko is the only one whose name doesn't start with a vowel. His sister is named Azula, his parents are Ozai and Ursa, and his uncle is named Iroh.

** Ursa herself stands out for having the only Western-based name (Ursa is Latin for "bear"), aside from the born-onscreen baby Hope, whose name was specifically chosen to be meaningful.

* [[U.S. Acres]]: Unlike his brothers, Orson's name doesn't end in "-rt".

* [[Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines]]: Klunk is the only one in the Vulture Squadron to have a name that doesn't end in Y. Dick Dastardl'''y''', Muttle'''y''' and Zill'''y'''. Also, Dick is the only one of the four to be known by name ''and'' surname.
