For example, all the ''Vanguard''-class [[TheUltimateDefenceOfTheRealm SSBNs]] begin with "V"- ''Vanguard'', ''Victorious'', ''Vigilant'' and ''Vengeance''.

* In ''Roleplay/PanopticonQuest'', the New World Order Convention of the Technocratic Union likes to gift its agents with names that initialize to [[ShoutOut J.B.]] once they've proven themselves and reuse certain last names as status indicators within the NWO. Needless to say, people within the Union quickly learn not to assume that NWO agents are related when they have the same last name.

* NATO designation of Soviet materiel. Fighter plane codenames all start with an F (Flanker, Foxbat, Fulcrum, Fishbed...), helicopters with an H (Hind, Hip, Havoc, Halo...) while strategic bombers all start with a B (Blinder, Bear, Backfire...). Air-to-air missiles all start with an A (Archer, Apex, Acrid...), air-to-ground all start with a K (Kingfish, Kelt, Kickback...), and [=SAMs=] all start with a G (Gainful, Gecko, Gaskin). Oddly enough, submarine codenames break the theme - most are called after letters in the radio alphabet (Tango, Charlie, Foxtrot etc...).
