| 6 | ->'''Creator/WilliamShakespeare:''' I could name [this play] after its main character, ''[[Theatre/TimonOfAthens Timon]]'', but it feels rather dull.\ |
| 7 | '''Widge:''' You named ''{{Theatre/Hamlet}}'' after its main character.\ |
| 8 | '''Shakespeare:''' Well, this is not ''Hamlet''. More's the pity. |

| 11 | Naming a work after its protagonist is one of the most popular title conventions in fiction, to the point that when a title ''[[IAmNotShazam isn't]]'' eponymous to the protagonist, [[ProtagonistTitleFallacy everybody will still assume it is]]. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | Often an OneWordTitle, although there are examples with more than one word, such as AdjectiveNounFred if Fred is the protagonist. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | If the Protagonist Title is also a pun, it's an EpunymousTitle. If the title also includes the protagonist's occupation, it's RoleCalled.\ |
| 16 | |
| 17 | See also CharacterNameAndTheNounPhrase, TheFullNameAdventures, MononymousBiopicTitle, MultiCharacterTitle, NameAndName, ProtagonistAndFriends, SecondaryCharacterTitle. Compare to AntagonistTitle, contrast with SecondaryCharacterTitle. Subtrope of CharacterTitle. AdjectiveNounFred usually overlaps with this, having the "Fred" be the protagonist. |

| 816 | * ''VideoGame/EccoTheDolphin'' |
| 817 | * ''Edd the Duck!'' |
| 818 | * ''VideoGame/FallingFred'' |
| 819 | * ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'': [[spoiler:During the endgame, the protagonist Alear is killed. The Ring Emblems use their powers to resurrect Alear as the thirteenth Emblem, the Fire Emblem, making them this trope.]] |
| 820 | * ''VideoGame/{{Flicky}}'' |
| 821 | * ''VideoGame/{{Florence}}'' |
| 822 | * ''VideoGame/{{Frogger}}'' |
| 823 | * ''VideoGame/GabrielKnight'' |
| 824 | * ''VideoGame/{{HAAK}}'': The PlayerCharacter's name is simply Haak. |
| 825 | * ''VideoGame/{{Hagane}}'' |
| 826 | * ''VideoGame/HammerinHarry'' |
| 827 | * ''VideoGame/HansKloss'' |

| 841 | * ''VideoGame/{{Kolibri}}'' |
| 842 | * ''VideoGame/{{Koudelka}}'' |
| 843 | * ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' is a partial case; the actual protagonist is Link, but the titular young princess has a major role in nearly every game in the series. |
| 844 | * ''VideoGame/LittleSamson'' |
| 845 | * ''VideoGame/LowGMan'' |
| 846 | * ''VideoGame/LunaRPGMaker'': Luna is the name of the [[PlayerCharacter little girl that you play as]]. |
| 847 | * ''VideoGame/{{Mappy}}'' |
| 848 | * ''VideoGame/MarioBros'' |
| 849 | ** ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory'' is notable in that while it would normally be a partial case of AntagonistTitle, Bowser is actually a VillainProtagonist in this game. |
| 850 | * ''VideoGame/MaxPayne'': It doubles as a MeaningfulName as he goes through intense physical and emotional pain in his adventures. Fittingly, his health pickups are bottles of painkillers. |
| 851 | * ''Franchise/MegaMan'' |
| 852 | * ''VideoGame/MetalGear2SolidSnake'' |
| 853 | * ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'': Metal Gear is the HumongousMecha that must be stopped, but '''Solid''' Snake is the protagonist. |
| 854 | * ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' started off as an AntagonistTitle referring to one of the series' alien creatures, but the word also means "Ultimate Warrior" in one of the in-universe languages, allowing it to double as one of these. The shift to protagonist title continued when Samus became infused with Metroid DNA in ''VideoGame/MetroidFusion'', and was cemented when [[spoiler:''VideoGame/MetroidDread'' saw her complete her transformation into not only a humanoid Metroid, but ''the'' last Metroid.]] |
| 855 | * ''VideoGame/MrDo'' |
| 856 | * ''Mr. Heli'' |

| 858 | * ''VideoGame/{{Nelo}}'': The PlayerCharacter's name is Nelo. |

| 861 | * ''VideoGame/NobodySavesTheWorld'' |
| 862 | * ''[[VideoGame/FantasyZone Opa-Opa]]'' |
| 863 | * ''VideoGame/{{Opoona}}'' |
| 864 | * [[VideoGame/CannonDancer Osman]] (in English) |
| 865 | * ''VideoGame/PacMan'' |
| 866 | * ''VideoGame/PerfectDark'', though it's just a code name for agent Joanna Dark. |
| 867 | * ''VideoGame/PowerPete'' |
| 868 | * ''VideoGame/PrinceOfPersia'' (as the hero never gets a proper name.) |
| 869 | * ''VideoGame/ProfessorFizzwizzle'' |
| 870 | * ''VideoGame/ProfessorLayton'' |
| 871 | * ''VideoGame/{{Pronty}}'' |

| 875 | * ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'' |
| 876 | * ''VideoGame/{{Ristar}}'' |
| 877 | * ''VideoGame/{{Rygar}}'' became this overseas, naming the protagonist in the process. Said name is also a JapaneseRanguage clone of the villain's name, which became "Ligar" in localization. |
| 878 | * ''VideoGame/{{Scathe}}'' - albeit an AntiHero example |
| 879 | * ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' |
| 880 | * Skweek |
| 881 | * ''VideoGame/SolatoroboRedTheHunter'', unlike how the original Japanese subtitle lacks any character's name in it (''And Then, To CODA''). |
| 882 | * ''VideoGame/{{Somari}}'', at least according to the end-of-level messages. |
| 883 | * ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' |
| 884 | * ''VideoGame/{{Sonny}}'' |
| 885 | * ''[=SonSon=]'' (an early Creator/{{Capcom}} arcade game) |
| 886 | * ''VideoGame/SnowBros'' |
| 887 | * ''Franchise/SpyroTheDragon'' |
| 888 | * ''VideoGame/{{Strider}} Hiryu'' (in Japan) |
| 889 | * ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' |
| 890 | * ''[[VideoGame/{{Valis}} Syd of Valis]]'', whose localization renamed the main character in a clumsy attempt to force this trope. |
| 891 | * ''Technocop'' |
| 892 | * ''VideoGame/{{Tempo}}'' |
| 893 | * ''VideoGame/TexMurphy'' |
| 894 | * ''VideoGame/ThunderHoop'' |
| 895 | * ''VideoGame/TinStar'' |
| 896 | * ''VideoGame/ToejamAndEarl'' |
| 897 | * ''VideoGame/{{Tomba}}'' |
| 898 | * The ''VideoGame/TreasureHunterMan'' series plays on it: |
| 899 | ** ''VideoGame/TreasureHunterMan1'': The "1" is only for our differentiation. |
| 900 | ** ''VideoGame/TreasureHunterMan2'': The protagonist is a woman. |
| 901 | * ''VideoGame/TwinBee'', sort of: the first player always controls [=TwinBee=], which is the name of a ship, not that of its pilot. |
| 902 | * ''VideoGame/{{Vectorman}}'' |
| 903 | * ''VideoGame/{{Vexx}}'' |
| 904 | * ''VideoGame/VictorVran'' |
| 905 | * ''VideoGame/{{Wadanohara}}'' |

| 919 | * ''Webcomic/AliceGrove'' |
| 920 | * ''Webcomic/{{DW}}'': Yes, [[Franchise/{{Arthur}} that one]]. ''Webcomic/Elwood2015'' originally went by this title until it expanded to focus just as much on other characters. |
| 921 | * ''Webcomic/{{Dasien}}'' |
| 922 | * ''Webcomic/{{Digger}}'' |
| 923 | * ''Webcomic/GeneCatlow'', though it focuses on secondary characters much more often... Gene probably has plurality of screen time, at least. |
| 924 | * ''Webcomic/HardcoreLevelingWarrior'', named after the ''Lucid Adventure'' character of the webcomic's protagonist, Ethan. |
| 925 | * ''Webcomic/{{Huckleberry}}'' |

| 958 | * ''WesternAnimation/DangerMouse'' |
| 959 | * ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'': While his name is Danny, “Phantom” is an alias. His actual last name is Fenton. |

| 962 | * ''WesternAnimation/DinkTheLittleDinosaur'' |

| 988 | * ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowski'' |
| 989 | * ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' |
| 990 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''; doubly so in the UK, where the series' name is ''Avatar: The Legend of Korra'', thus having the heroine's name ''and'' status in the title. |
