{{quote|'''Boingo:''' ''Dolph, tie up the brat; Liesel, hold the book; Vincent, get the truck; and Keith... darn it, change your name, please. That's not scary and I'm embarrassed to say it. Boris, try that. Keith, ya know? Oooo Watch out for Keith!''/}}
** Which is ironic, considering the name "Boingo".
* In the ''[[Lilo and Stitch]]'' franchise, the main villain is a rodent-like alien named Dr.
== Films -- Live-Action ==
Line 37:
** There is also the horse of Death, who would not be seen as nearly as ominous if more people knew his name was Binky.
* Randall Flagg from ''[[The Stand]]'' and ''[[The Dark Tower]]'' books by Stephen King. Even better, that's not even his real name. His real name is Walter Padick, and has been known as Walter o' Dim in the past. Real intimidating...
* ''[[The Saga of Darren Shan]]'' has the evil
* ''[[The Empire of the East]]'' contains a partial example: the [[Big Bad|Emperor]] of All [[The Empire|the East]] is a rather ordinary-looking man named John. It's a partial example because his surname is the rather ominous-sounding "Ominor."
* In ''[[Good Omens]]'' the eleven-year-old [[Anti Christ|Antichrist]] is named [[Meaningful Name|Adam]].
* In E. E. "Doc" Smith's ''[[Lensman|Triplanetary]]'', the human characters are menaced by an [[Abusive Precursors|Abusive Precursor]] who introduces himself as "Roger". That's not his real name (it's Gharlane), but still it's oddly funny to have the crew of the ''Boise'' stumble across him on a random planet and go "[[Oh Crap]], it's Roger!".
Line 58:
** It's probably worth mentioning that in Japan Western names are considered exotic in much the same way that Eastern names are in the US. The renaming of Tina to Terra in Final Fantasy VI was a way to avert this; in the case of Final Fantasy X they simply may not have cared. In addition, Seymour's initial appearances are benign, and a clear villain name would have spoiled the surprise later.
* Fleming, Lord of the Demons from ''[[Shadows of the Damned]]''.
* In the ''[[Mass Effect]]'' series, The Illusive Man -- the leader of the pro-human rogue paramilitary group Cerberus and part of the [[Big Bad Ensemble]] with Harbinger in ''[[Mass Effect 3]]'' -- never has his name revealed in-game. However, if you read the tie in comics, it's revealed that his name is actually {{spoiler|Jack.}}
* The main villain of ''[[Silent Hill 4]]'' is... Walter Sullivan. Common name for a guy who looks petty average most of the time, but he's a [[Serial Killer]] and an insane cultist.
== Web Comics ==
* From ''[[Looking for Group]]'', there is a character whose titles include "Chief Warlock of the Brothers of Darkness, Lord of the Thirteen Hells, Master of the Bones, Emperor of the Black, Lord of the Undead, King of the Dance, Mistress of Magma (he's a... man... he's undead, but he was a man in life) and mayor of a little village up the coast (read that as "village of flesh-eating, undead hell-beasts in humanoid form")." The character's name? Richard. This is constantly mocked in the comic. The protagonist Cale is fond of referring to him as Dick just to get on his nerves.
* In ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'' we have "Chaz," an unstoppable sword also known as the Unholy Evil Death Bringer, forged in the most insidious of flame by the blacksmith known only as... Bob.
* ''[[Exterminatus Now]]'' gives us the Conspirator, Greater Daemon of the Patterner...Kevin.

* ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]''{{'}}s Dr Doofenschmirtz is often called Dr. Doof.
** Doof started an Evil League called the [[Fun with Acronyms|L]]eague [[Fun with Acronyms|O]]f [[Fun with Acronyms|V]]illainous [[Fun with Acronyms|E]]vildoers [[Fun with Acronyms|M]]aniacally [[Fun with Acronyms|U]]nited [[Fun with Acronyms|F]]or [[Fun with Acronyms|F]]rightening [[Fun with Acronyms|I]]nvestment in [[Fun with Acronyms|N]]aughtiness. Or as it's better known, [[Fun with Acronyms|L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N.]]
*** Before ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'', there was a League Of Villainous Evildoers featured in one episode of ''[[The Life and Times of Juniper Lee]]''.
** Another ''Phineas and Ferb'' one: Khaka Peu Peu.
** Galactic Overlord Mitch. [[I Have Many Names|Some people call him "Big Mitch".]]
* ''[[Yin Yang Yo!
* In ''[[Dave the Barbarian]]'', there is Chuckles the silly piggy.
* Simon from ''[[Trollz]]''.
* At the third ''[[The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius|Jimmy]]
** Poof's anti-fairy counterpart hated being named Foop.
* ''[[The Superhero Squad Show]]'' once had a villain mocked by MODOK and the Abomination for being named "Pete". No, he's not Disney's [[Black Pete]].
