** All of the fake names Bart uses for prank-calling Moe's (such as "Al Caholic", "Jacques Strappe", "I.P. Freely", "Seymour Butz", "Homer Sexual", "Mike Rotch", "Bea O'Problem", "Amanda Hugginkiss", "Ivana Tinkle", and "Ollie Tabooger") qualify. ''Especially'' "Hugh Jass" in the episode "Flaming Moe's", who's actually a real person who actually happens to be there when Bart calls. He's a pretty decent guy considering how he takes it:

They've also run in a health inspector named Harry Buttisker (which they mispronounce as "Butt whisker"), a reporter named Betsy Weiner, and a recruiting sergeant named Dick Leakey (whose army nickname is "The Rooster," another innuendo). And then, of course, Butt-Head.

** Sandy Cheeks. Especially if you take "cheeks" to mean "butt cheeks". Made even worse since "Sandy" was the name of the second most infamous hurricane in recent memory.
* ''Futurama'': Bender's name refer to his occupation but means something different in the U.K.



* In an episode of ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'', Muriel is kidnapped and forced to make kilts for a gnome-like man. Eventually, Courage discovers that the guy hates his name: Rumpled Kiltskin. When Muriel finds out about this, she suggests he legally change his name, suggesting "Rumplestiltskin". The guy actually thinks that's a good idea, and suggests the two become business partners.

Whilst it may be [[PunnyName a pun on]] "love handle", if you speak German (Standard German) it means "love trade" ([[{{Streetwalker}} suggesting prostitution or streetwalkers]], unfortunately).

** Something very similar happened in the episode ''Donnie Fatso'', where Moe Syszlak got a call requesting for a "Yuri Nater", and called out to the patrons asking for him, with predictable results. However, it wasn't a prank call, as the caller did actually intend to speak with a person by that name (The man in question was the caller's Russian business associate), and the person Moe was implied to have chewed out on for it was actually Fat Tony, the mafia underboss.
** "Don't worry, there will be no one to make fun of your name anymore, Mr. Glasscock."
** In another episode, Cletus reveals that he names his kids after what they think will happen to them when they grow up. "Ain't that right, Stabbedinjail?"

* Music/{{Gorillaz}} singer 2D is actually named Stuart Pot, and became known as [[PunnyName Stu-Pot]] prior to the accidents which gave him his "2 Dents". It could be worse; his father had the family surname legally changed from "Tusspot" after a lifetime of teasing.



* In ''WesternAnimation/DespicableMe2'', the head of the Anti-Villain League is Silas Ramsbottom. The Minions find his last name hilarious, and even Gru gets in a jab or two:
-->'''Gru:''' Good day, [[MaliciousMisnaming Mr. Sheepsbutt]].\\
'''Ramsbottom:''' Ramsbottom.\\
'''Gru:''' [[SarcasmMode Yeah, like that's any better!]]
** In [[WesternAnimation/DespicableMe3 the third film]], Gru's twin brother's name is Dru. Okay, right? Well, no. Gru's full name is [[LastNameBasis Felonius Gru]]. This means that his brother is named Dru Gru. Sheesh!



* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Coraline}}'', one of Coraline's new neighbors is named Wyborne. As in, "[[PunnyName why born]]." Don't think [[LittleMissSnarker Coraline]] doesn't notice this.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' "Phantom Limb" "Dr. Girlfriend" "White Noise" "Major Tom" and "The Action Man" are old friends of Dr. Jonas Venture. One episode opens with a communication between The Action Man and Major Tom that [[WaxingLyrical copied lyrics from a classic David Bowie tune]].

* ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' used to play with this, the initials I.M. before a name suggesting their profession.
** So did Creator/CartoonNetwork with [[WesternAnimation/IAmWeasel I.M. Weasel and I. R. Babboon]].
** Also from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'': Merlin the Magic Mouse's sidekick was never destined to be a starring character because he was stuck with the name Second Banana.
* ''WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker'' once had a character named Ivan Awfulitch.
** ''Woody Woodpecker'' too.
* The ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButtHead'' episode "Prank Call" has Harry Sachz, whom the duo incessantly harass with prank phone calls for a month before he goes ballistic.

He keeps saying "What Zit Tooya". Turns out [[WhosOnFirst it was his real name]].

He then encounters (real-life) House Majority Leader Dick Armey (R-TX) and laughs hysterically at his name, refuses to believe it ''is'' his real name and then mocks him asking if his wife is called "Vagina Coastguard".

** ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' made this joke several years prior. Dick Armey is called Penis Navy, Weiner Airforce, and Vagina Coastguard. [[http://www.angelfire.com/weird2/tomspage/toppage7.htm Here is the script from the sketch]], but it is much funnier to watch the whole thing.

** Jeffrey Fecalman, Glenn Quagmire's former brother-in-law. FridgeBrilliance in that he was an abusive sociopath who often beat Quagmire's sister-- i.e. a real turd.



* [[WesternAnimation/SitDownShutUp "Hello, my name is Larry Littlejunk."]] The names go downhill from there.
* Pretty much a lot of Creator/HannaBarbera's cartoon animal sidekicks, particularly those whose names are one syllable said twice. The most notable instance of this trope being used there would have to be Touché Turtle's sidekick; you'd have to be a really cruel parent to name your kid Dum-dum.
** [[NamesTheSame Not to mention the Dum-Dum]] from ''WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop'', although in this case, it's more fitting.
** He's not an animal, but Clamhead in ''WesternAnimation/{{Jabberjaw}}'' definitely has an unfortunate name.



** Parodied with teacher Ms. Choksondik ("chokes-on-dick"). While the kids insult her endlessly, they never notice her name, though they do sometimes modify it insultingly (calling her "Ms. Chokes-on-rocks" or "Ms. Makes-me-sick").
*** [[MeaningfulName Coincidentally, that's exactly how she dies.]]

** [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Erector Erector]], whose name was so unfortunate that it led to him getting nominated for the 2011 Transformers Hall of Fame. Hasbro even capitalized on this by created a mockumentary documenting his (fabricated just for the video) appearances throughout the franchise, but afterwards asked the fans not to do this again.
** And now we can add [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Spastic Spastic]] to the pile.
** [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Mindwipe_(G1) Wipe!]]
** Another unfortunate is [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Skidmark Skidmark]].
** [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Fangry Fangry]] may be having a rough time of it, but at least he's doing better than [[https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Bugly Bugly]].
** The verdict has yet to return on [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Squeezeplay Squeezeplay]], but by Primus, the images that name invokes...
** As if [[SpellMyNameWithAnS/AnimeAndManga deciphering the proper romanization]] of [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Deszaras Deszaras]] wasn't frustrating enough, the name also causes TF fans in Hungary to giggle, as it's so close to the expressions "de szaros" (how shitty) and "Beszarás!" (Holy shit!).
*** Speaking of Deszaras (or Deathsaurus according to WordOfGod), one must not forget his minions, the aptly named [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Breastforce Breastforce]] and their [[EquippableAlly Equippable Allies]], the [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Breast_Animal Breast Animals]]. The official subs rename them to the less dirty-sounding Chestforce, whereas their ''Combiner Wars'' boxset calls them Destrons ([[DubNameChange the Japanese name for the Decepticons]]).
** There's also a human country called Carbombya.
*** It was a [[TakeThat thinly veiled jab]] at Libya. Creator/CaseyKasem (who was ethnically Arab) found it so offensive he quit voice acting for the show, and Bluestreak, Cliffjumper, and Teletraan 1, his three main voices on the show, were written out.
** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Bulkhead]] isn't ''quite'' as bad as some others, but it's bad enough that [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/A_Fistful_of_Energon#Quotes it got noticed in-series.]]
** In a case of this that isn't an AccidentalInnuendo, there's The Fallen. He was [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname only known by his title]] for years, thanks to his status as TheDreaded and his original name being either forgotten or stricken from history. Then it was revealed that his real name is [[CanisLatinicus Megatronus Prime,]] and it becomes pretty obvious why he was okay with being called "The Fallen" for so long.
** Another character who gets by under a nickname is Brainstorm, who's established in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' to have the real name "Genitus".
** Narrowly avoided by Rat-a-Tat-Tat in the IDW comics, who would have been named "Volver" if his writer, James Roberts (who's British) hadn't said it out loud a couple of times and realised how close it sounded to "vulva".
** Perhaps the biggest instance of this trope in the franchise is the PlanetEater, GodOfEvil, and GreaterScopeVillain [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron Unicron]] himself, whose name is only one letter swap away from [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicorn Unicorn]]. This has been mocked several times throughout the franchise, with ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' doing it twice.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Twilight Sparkle, when you think of a [[Literature/{{Twilight}} certain sparkly vampire]].
** Diamond Tiara's father, who insists that everyone call him Rich. That's because the first half of his name is "Filthy". Luckily he has all those bags of money to make him feel better about, well, ''being named Filthy''.
*** It could be worse. His grandfather's first name was ''Stinking''. And he [[SelfMadeMan wasn't born]] [[PunnyName Rich]], either.
*** And his wife is called ''SPOILED MILK''. At least she changed it to Spoiled Rich when she married him. Someone needs to explain the trends of naming in Equestria.
** The former editor of the Foal Free Press was named Namby Pamby, which means "lacking courage".
** And now that it's canon, one can only assume (and hope) that "Derpy" doesn't have the same connotations in Equestria that it does on Earth.
** Rainbow Dash's mother is named "Windy Whistles". How does one ''not'' make a fart joke?
** Gallus' name is from the Latin word for "rooster", a male [[CluckingFunny chicken]].
** An InUniverse example is Flurry Heart, the daughter of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. She's named after the snowstorm she accidentally created... and as a matter of fact, said snowstorm ''nearly destroyed the Crystal Empire''.
* WesternAnimation/{{Pingu}}'s sister's name is ''Pinga''. The word is probably meaningless in its original Swiss French and the show was produced years before Pinga as a sexual slang entered mainstream North American English.
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Dethklok's]] therapist is named Dr. Twinkletits. In a case of [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY pronunciation fun]], his name is pronounced "Twink-eh-let-tis".
* ''WesternAnimation/TitanMaximum'' has Admiral Bitchface. Hey, it's ''German.''
** "Schlampegesicht", maybe.
* In a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' skit where Gargamel turns himself into a [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurf]], when asked for his name he nervously ends up with Gargel Smurf, which attracts the attention of [[AmbiguouslyGay Vanity Smurf]].
* A running gag on ''WesternAnimation/TimeWarpTrio'' is that any villian that isn't a real [[HistoricalDomainCharacter historical figure]] will have a name that ultimately sounds like an insulting pun (for example the ancient Egyptian baddie whose name sounded like "Hot Snot".

The official subs rename them to the less dirty-sounding Chestforce, whereas their ''Combiner Wars'' boxset calls them Destrons ([[DubNameChange the Japanese name for the Decepticons]]).
** There's also a human country called Carbombya.
*** It was a [[TakeThat thinly veiled jab]] at Libya. Creator/CaseyKasem (who was ethnically Arab) found it so offensive he quit voice acting for the show, and Bluestreak, Cliffjumper, and Teletraan 1, his three main voices on the show, were written out.
** [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Bulkhead]] isn't ''quite'' as bad as some others, but it's bad enough that [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/A_Fistful_of_Energon#Quotes it got noticed in-series.]]
** In a case of this that isn't an AccidentalInnuendo, there's The Fallen. He was [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname only known by his title]] for years, thanks to his status as TheDreaded and his original name being either forgotten or stricken from history. Then it was revealed that his real name is [[CanisLatinicus Megatronus Prime,]] and it becomes pretty obvious why he was okay with being called "The Fallen" for so long.
** Another character who gets by under a nickname is Brainstorm, who's established in ''ComicBook/TheTransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' to have the real name "Genitus".
** Narrowly avoided by Rat-a-Tat-Tat in the IDW comics, who would have been named "Volver" if his writer, James Roberts (who's British) hadn't said it out loud a couple of times and realised how close it sounded to "vulva".
** Perhaps the biggest instance of this trope in the franchise is the PlanetEater, GodOfEvil, and GreaterScopeVillain [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicron Unicron]] himself, whose name is only one letter swap away from [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Unicorn Unicorn]]. This has been mocked several times throughout the franchise, with ''WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime'' doing it twice.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** Twilight Sparkle, when you think of a [[Literature/{{Twilight}} certain sparkly vampire]].
** Diamond Tiara's father, who insists that everyone call him Rich. That's because the first half of his name is "Filthy". Luckily he has all those bags of money to make him feel better about, well, ''being named Filthy''.
*** It could be worse. His grandfather's first name was ''Stinking''. And he [[SelfMadeMan wasn't born]] [[PunnyName Rich]], either.
*** And his wife is called ''SPOILED MILK''. At least she changed it to Spoiled Rich when she married him. Someone needs to explain the trends of naming in Equestria.
** The former editor of the Foal Free Press was named Namby Pamby, which means "lacking courage".
** And now that it's canon, one can only assume (and hope) that "Derpy" doesn't have the same connotations in Equestria that it does on Earth.
** Rainbow Dash's mother is named "Windy Whistles". How does one ''not'' make a fart joke?
** Gallus' name is from the Latin word for "rooster", a male [[CluckingFunny chicken]].
** An InUniverse example is Flurry Heart, the daughter of Princess Cadance and Shining Armor. She's named after the snowstorm she accidentally created... and as a matter of fact, said snowstorm ''nearly destroyed the Crystal Empire''.
* WesternAnimation/{{Pingu}}'s sister's name is ''Pinga''. The word is probably meaningless in its original Swiss French and the show was produced years before Pinga as a sexual slang entered mainstream North American English.
* [[WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}} Dethklok's]]
''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'': Dethklok's therapist is named Dr. Twinkletits. In a case of [[ItIsPronouncedTroPAY pronunciation fun]], his name is pronounced "Twink-eh-let-tis".
* ''WesternAnimation/TitanMaximum'' has Admiral Bitchface. Hey, it's ''German.''
** "Schlampegesicht", maybe.
* In a ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'' skit where Gargamel turns himself into a [[Franchise/TheSmurfs Smurf]], when asked for his name he nervously ends up with Gargel Smurf, which attracts the attention of [[AmbiguouslyGay Vanity Smurf]].
* A running gag on ''WesternAnimation/TimeWarpTrio'' is that any villian that isn't a real [[HistoricalDomainCharacter historical figure]] will have a name that ultimately sounds like an insulting pun (for example the ancient Egyptian baddie whose name sounded like "Hot Snot".
"Twink-eh-let-tis".



* When Lucky is adopted in the 2010 ''[[WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010 Pound Puppies]]'' series, his owner gives the name "Mr. Chewy [=McFluffster=]". (The owner in question also has a hamster named "Prince Fudgiepaws".)
** In "Olaf In Love", we find that Olaf's last name is "Hugglesbjork".
** In another episode, a male Maltese has the name "Princess":
--->'''Rebound''': If you're a boy, then why are you called "Princess"?
--->'''Princess''': You ever hear of an adorable Maltese named "Ralph"?
* If he didn't have such an appropriate nickname, WesternAnimation/KickButtowski would probably count.
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/FostersHomeForImaginaryFriends'' Bloo offers a man a chance to adopt Cheese, and when the man seems to have doubts about it, Bloo offers to include another imaginary friend named Crackers. In the next scene, Bloo is trying to console Crackers, who is crying:
-->'''Bloo:''' I'm sorry, Crackers, I guess he was hungry... He must have thought I meant real crackers...
-->'''Crackers:''' That's what they ''all'' say! ''(runs away crying)''

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'' has the KGB director Nikolai Jakov, whose surname sounds practically identical to the word "jack-off".
** Accidental example: "ISIS" was a perfectly innocent spy agency name until the rise of a real-life terrorist group that was called that. There's a reason they became CIA contractors.
** In [[AllJustADream Season 9]] Cyril's counterpart is named Mr. Fuchs.



** Even the [[MadScientist mad scientist]] Dr. Doofenshmirtz himself suffers from this, when you consider that it's made up of the German words "doofen shmirtz" which means "painfully stupid".



* When Glenn Quagmire (briefly) attempts to raise an unexpected daughter in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', he thinks Anna Lee would be an appropriate name.
-->She can always shorten it to "Anal".






* The name of the titular character in WesternAnimation/NiHaoKaiLan may sound like a typical Chinese name to most westerners. However, for people in southern China who speak Cantonese, Hakka, or Hokkien, her name means ''Chinese broccoli''.



-->'''Rippen:''' No, that can't be my name.

-->'''Rippen:''' --->'''Rippen:''' No, that can't be my name.



* Mr. Poopybutthole from ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. Do we ''[[DontExplainTheJoke really]]'' have to spell it out?
** Not to mention Principal Vagina, who can't introduce himself without adding some sort of explanation.

''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''.
** Not to mention Principal Vagina, who can't introduce himself without adding some sort of explanation.



* In ''WesternAnimation/BojackHorseman'', one of the child actors who worked on Bojack's old sitcom is named Bradley Hitler-Smith. According to the writers, the idea of someone keeping the name Hitler in the modern era and giving the name to their kids was just too funny to pass up.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' has the name of the titular "benders". In American English it's a fine name. However, in ''British'' English the word is a derogatory term which effectively means the same as "faggot" does in American English, making the title and a ''lot'' of lines from the show sound incredibly ([[ActuallyPrettyFunny and likely hilariously]]) offensive.
** [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra The sequel series]] has a more direct example: The Earth Queen's name [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandarin_Chinese_profanity#Anus is a Mandarin euphemism for "anus"]]; albeit a MeaningfulName given [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen her personality]].
* Bender from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' is in the exact same boat as the Avatar example above, though given the comedic tone of the show it's not so much unfortunate as it is unintentionally hilarious.
** Also, Mayor '''Poop'''enmeyer. His name was actually invented as a one-off joke for his first appearance.
* ''WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse'' has a character named ''Fisto'', explained to be a ex-villain who underwent a HeelFaceTurn. We don't think we need to spell out the problem with that name.



* In ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', it's no wonder than a kid named James Nixon [=McGarfield=] turned out to be [[spoiler: a corrupt class president]].
** Numbuh Two's full name is '''Hogarth Pennywhistle Gilligan Jr.'''. And his nickname is [[BigEater Hoagie]]. This doesn't seem to bother him, though.
** Numbuh 86's given name, '''Fanny''' Fullbright. Which is unfortunate in two ways, being she's Scottish. To surmise, her name means "Butt" in American slang and ''Vagina'' in UK slang.
* The Kanker sisters from ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', named after canker sores, have a surname that is the exact word for 'cancer' in Dutch, as in the disease. As if that's not bad enough, the way cursing in Dutch works, it can be an expletive, and can upset people who lost loved ones to it. It was quite sensibly changed in the dub to the more thematically appropriate 'Drammer' (pushy).
** Edd is a somewhat feminine boy and it's even worse with an EmbarrassingNickname like [[GagBoobs Double D]].
* ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget'' is one that is older than Methuselah. It's a fine name in its own right but it sounds a wee bit too much like "inspect her gadget", ''especially'' during the opening theme song.
* ''WesternAnimation/MonsterMash2000'' had Drac, Frank and Wolf tasked to prove they still had what it takes to be scary by frightening a human family called the Tinklemeisters.
* ''WesternAnimation/ThoseScurvyRascals'': One of the three scurvy rascals is named Sissy [=LePoop=].
* ''WesternAnimation/TheZetaProject'' introduces a meta-human named "Schiz". It's no wonder the poor bastard is a villain, since "shiz" has a number of meanings, most of which involve feces and sometimes feces mixed with other, um, "fluids". [[{{Squick}} Ew]].

Adapted Out applies to characters being omitted in adaptations and Berserk Button is when a character is angered by an insignificant slight. I don't think someone being angry about being reminded of a loved one dying of cancer would qualify as getting P.O.ed by something trivial.
