=== Literature ===
* In the ''[[X
* [[Robin Hobb]] plays with this interestingly in her ''FitzChivalry'' series (the ''[[Realm of the Elderlings|Farseer]]'' trilogy): all of the princes are given names like this as part of magic which is supposed to install a corresponding personality in them. It doesn't work perfectly though- the hero is the illegitimate son of Chivalry, demonstrating an ironic application of his name, and Regal is [[The Evil Prince]]. Chivalry was otherwise highly regarded, however, and Verity plays this trope absolutely straight.
* ''[[Codex Alera]]'' 's Fidelias, whose case is complicated and may be a subversion. He knows the political climate of his country is nearing civil war and feels that the king isn't doing enough to prevent this. So he betrays the king out of loyalty to the kingdom.
* [[Older Than Steam]]: Something similar to ''[[Codex Alera]]'' happened with Jean-Baptiste Poquelin ''alias'' [[Moliere]]'s play ''[[Tartuffe]]'' (1664) and the disloyal bailiff Monsieur Loyal.▼
=== Live-Action TV ===
* Parodied in [[Anything Goes]], where Reno's four angels are named Purity, Chastity, Charity, and Virtue. They are all sleeping with the crew of the ship.▼
* Temperance Brennan in ''[[Bones]]''. Partially subverted in that [[No Social Skills|she is not an easy person]] [[Insufferable Genius|to get along with]].
