Line 1: {{trope}} '''Basic Trope''': A place, object, or person is described with, well, a description, rather than a name. * '''Straight''': [[The Hero]] is only known as The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman Without A Title, while the [[Big Bad]]'s title is He Who Rules The Wastelands. * '''Exaggerated''': After The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman Without A Title obtain [[Katanas Are Just Better\|The Katana That Glitters Under The Moonlight]] from [[TVAll The Tropes\|The Library of Patterns Most Heroic]], [[~~AFGNCAAP~~Featureless Protagonist\|s/he]] left for [[Mordor\|The Wasteland Roamed By A Thousand Demons]] to seek for [[The Very Definitely Final Dungeon\|The Throne Never Graced By The Goddess]], where He Who Rules The Wastelands [[Orcus Onon His Throne\|now bides his time]]. * '''Justified''': [[I Know Your True Name\|True Name]] rule is in full effect, it's only wise to hide one's own true name. ** The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman did something dishonorable in the past, and was stripped of his title. Now, his name is a taboo on the kingdom, and anyone that tries to refer him as such must receive a severe punishment. * '''Inverted''': There is a very bizarre monster that must be precisely described before any meaningful conversation about it can begin, but people call it "[[Call a Smeerp Aa Rabbit\|The Rabbit]]". * '''Subverted''': Halfway in the story, The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman gives away his name to his comrades. [[~~Everythings~~Everything's Better ~~With~~with Bob\|It's Bob]]. * '''Double Subverted''': ...which in The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman's native tongue, means roughly "[[Bob From Accounting\|He Who Is Without A Title]]". * '''Parodied''': The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman Without A Title Worthy of Bragging fights He Who Rules The Wastelands While ~~Crutching~~Clutching His Terrible Rod, saves [[Mary Sue\|The Princess More Beautiful Than All Other Princesses Combined]]. * '''Deconstructed''': All the difficulties associated with having no legally identifiable name is presented in the story. * '''Reconstructed''': Eventually, the <s>liars</s>lawyers settle down with writing "The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman Without A Title" on the papers. * '''Zig Zagged''': ??? * '''Averted''': People have normal names (for in-universe definition of normal); like, [[Aerith and Bob\|Aerith or Bob or Chiaki]]. * '''Enforced''': Increasing word count for the story. * '''Lampshaded''': "[[My Name Is Not Durwood\|How about I just call you SWaT-kun?]]" * '''Invoked''': Bob insists to be called The ~~Swordman~~Swordsman Without A Title in the hope of evading ~~empathic~~emphatic black magick from his ~~sorceror~~sorcerer adversaries. * '''Exploited''': After finding out that the method in the Invoked above works, Bob constantly change his name in the style of this trope to avoid having any name associated with him. * '''Defied''': In a world where it's common for any significant figure to have names in the style of this trope, Bob insists that he be called by the name given by his parents: Bob Trope.
