Line 60:
* Critical to the plot of ''[[Heavy Rain]]'' is that {{spoiler|the Origami Killer uses the name "John '''Sheppard'''." Several characters only hear this name but miraculously know how it is spelled}}.
* ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep]]'' has a weird example - Master Xehanort's plan is to create a superweapon with a [[Punny Name]]: {{spoiler|the "X-blade", which uses the greek letter "Chi", making it sound exactly like "Keyblade"}}. This confuses Ventus, and Xehanort actually interrupts his supervillain speech to clarify, even conjuring a glowing letter as a visual aid. This explanation is only offered in Ventus's storyline, however - in Aqua and Terra's, it's almost like they can read the subtitles and pick up on the difference themselves.
* George Stobbart of ''[[Broken Sword]]'' is fond of introducing himself as "[[The Name Is Bond, James Bond|Stobbart - George Stobbart]]. That's two b's, and two t's". This tends to just confuse people, as while [[Jedi Truth|there technically ''are'' two t's]], they're separate.
* [[Averted Trope|Averted]] in ''[[Mass Effect 2]]''. At one point, [[Player Character|Shepard]] will receive a message from a prisoner he/she shot at during a prison riot. The prisoner spells his / her name "Shepherd".
** Of course, judging by the spelling of the message, the prisoner was slightly illiterate.
