| 21 | A form of ThemeNaming in which everyone in a family, or one generation of a family at the very least, all possess names with alliteration, that is, starting with the same letter or syllable. Bonus points if their last name ''also'' [[AlliterativeName starts with the same letter]]. While obviously this can be expected to be intentional on the part of the writers, it can also be shown to be deliberate on the part of the ''characters.'' Such characters will usually be a little on the quirky side, if so. |
| 22 | |
| 23 | May or may not also be an AlliterativeName, in which both first and last names have the same letter. The ThemeNaming can be taken even further when these same letter names all have a theme within the same letter. When done InUniverse by the characters, can overlap with WhoNamesTheirKidDude and can lead to RapidFireNameGuessing. Taken to extremes, this trope can make recitation of family members into a TongueTwister. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | The trope is fairly rare in films, where a common screenwriting trick is to avoid multiple names beginning with the same sound to make it easier for the audience to keep track. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Sub-trope of ThemeInitials, in which several characters who may or may not be related share the same initials, and of FamilyThemeNaming, in which members of one family have related names which may or may not be alliterative. |

Nobita himself [[NearAndDearBabyNaming names his son after his father]]. The practice seems to be discontinued in the future; Nobita's grandson, who sends Doraemon to the past, is named [[OddNameOut Sewashi]]. |
| 39 | ** Nobita's mother, Tamako, has a younger brother named Tamao. |
| 40 | ** Suneo's brother is named Sunetsugu. They also have a cousin named Sunekichi. |

The letter "M" tends to be used by Martells a lot, like Morgan (the first known member of the family), Mors (the one Princess Nymeria married), Meria (Dorne's ruler at the time of Aegon's conquest), and Morion (the one who tried to invade the Seven Kingdoms during Jaehaerys I's reign). |

| 202 | * In ''Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium'' (''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', etc.), it is extremely common for families to have names with similar meaning or sound, and as such there are many with alliterative names. |
| 203 | ** It happens in two of the three major human families in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion''. Twenty-three members of the house of Bëor (out of about thirty) have names starting with a B. There are slightly fewer Haladin, so there are slightly fewer characters whose names start with an H... but six of them have names starting with "Hal". |
| 204 | ** A hobbit example would be the siblings Peregrin (Pippin), Pearl, Pimpernel, and Pervinca, children of Paladin Took. |
| 205 | ** Very, ''very'' common among Elves, causing many a headache for readers of the Silm. There's Finwë, his children Fëanor, Findis (who doesn't appear in the published Silm), Fingolfin, and Finarfin. There's Fëanor's sons, Maedhros, Maglor, Celegorm, Caranthir, Curufin, Amrod and Amras.

In fact, when Patty gave her child up for adoption, the one request she made was that she be given a "P" name. When the sisters travel back in time Grams, whose name is Penny, takes a moment to snark on the family theme after learning Phoebe's name. |
| 216 | -->'''Grams:''' Oh, another "P". What a surprise. |
| 217 | ** {{Subverted}}, however, when Piper named her sons Wyatt and Chris and named her daughter Melinda. They were also the first boys born for generations. (Phoebe quipped they should name Wyatt "[[Franchise/HarryPotter Potter]].") The comics continuation also showed Phoebe and Paige starting families; Phoebe was the only one of the three to opt to continue the "P" naming tradition, with daughters [[DeadGuyJunior Prudence]] (PJ to distinguish her from her late aunt), Parker, and Peyton. |

| 237 | * ''Series/RowanAndMartinsLaughIn'' had [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Farkel_Family the Farkel family]]: Frank and his wife Fanny, and their kids (some alliterated, some rhymed, and some were just puns) - Sparkle (& her sometimes twin Charcoal) Farkel, twins [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Simon and Gar Farkel]], Mark Farkel, Fritz, Flicker, and Fred Farkel. None of the kids looked like Frank, but they all [[CheatingWithTheMilkman looked like]] his "friend and trusty neighbor" Ferd Berffle. |
| 238 | * ''Series/{{Sadakatsiz}}'': |
| 239 | ** Ali's mother is doctor Asya, whose mother is, in turn, Ayla. All of their names start with "a" and some characters are shared, such as the "l" in Ali and Ayla and the "y" and "a" in Asya and Ayla. In a twist of this being PlayedForDrama, Asya's father's mistress is also named Asya. In fact, he {{invoke|d}}s this trope by naming his daughter after the love of his life. |
| 240 | ** Teased but ultimately {{subverted}} with Asya and Aras. They are going to marry and Aras has a strong interest in getting along with Ali. However, shortly before they can start a new life, they break up. |
| 241 | ** {{Zigzagged}} with Haluk and Hicran, whose names start with "h". Haluk is deeply in love with Gönül and is going to marry her. However, he has an affair with Hicran (she's a sex worker) that results in a son whom Haluk rejects out of fear of losing Gönül. Haluk and Hicran don't love each other and are never really a family. |
| 242 | ** Selen and her mother Serap. Both of their names start with "s". |
| 243 | ** Aras and his mother Ayse have their names start with "A". Doubled down with AlliterativeName seeing that their surname is Ateşoğlu. |
| 244 | * A '70s ''Series/SesameStreet News'' skit had Kermit the Frog reporting from [[TongueTwister Piper's Pickled Pepper Patch]], hoping to get an interview with the famous Peter Piper.

[[spoiler:And the clone of Julian goes by Grant Gabriel.]] |
| 246 | * ''Series/Supergirl2015'', naturally, also does this. The Luthor family consists of siblings Lena and Lex (full name Alexander) and their mother Lillian, with Lionel having passed away at some point. Lucy and Lois Lane also appear. |

| 271 | * ''Franchise/AceAttorney'': |
| 272 | ** Every named member of the Fey family except for Pearl, Ami, [[spoiler:Iris, or Dahlia]] has a name beginning with an "M" (Mia, Maya, Misty, Morgan). This does not apply in the original Japanese version, in which their names are Chihiro, Mayoi, Maiko, and Kimiko, respectively. |
| 273 | ** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'' has [[spoiler:the twins Bonny and Betty de Famme, doubling as ThemeTwinNaming]], and the siblings Sorin and Selena Sprocket, doubling as {{Alliterative Name}}s. |
| 274 | * ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'': |

| 278 | * ''VideoGame/AtelierLydieAndSuelleTheAlchemistsAndTheMysteriousPaintings'': Siblings Mathias and Mireille, the prince and princess of Adalet. |
| 279 | * ''VideoGame/EldenRing'': This being written by Creator/GeorgeRRMartin, the demigod extended family have alliterative names. From the first Elden Lord, Godfrey, has his children Godwyn and his distant descendent Godrick. The second Elden Lord, Radagon, had three children with Rennala - Radahn, Rykard, and Ranni - and on his second marriage with Marika, he had Malenia and Miquella. |
| 280 | * ''VideoGame/EnsembleStars'' has the Sakuma siblings, Rei and Ritsu. |
| 281 | * The Duval dynasty of ''[[VideoGame/{{Elite}} Elite 2: Frontier]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/{{Elite}} Elite 3: Frontier First Encounters]]'' has all emperors' names starting with H. |
| 282 | * Downplayed in ''VideoGame/Fallout4''. The husband and wife's {{canon name}}s are Nate and Nora, but their baby's name is always Shaun. So it's more like Alliterative Couple. |
| 283 | * ''VideoGame/FarnhamFables'': |
| 284 | ** The three princes of Farnham are Fredrick, Flewdor, and Philip (whose name doesn't start with an "F" but still has an "F" sound), and their father is named Ferdinand. |
| 285 | ** The Edisons all have first names which start with a "W": Wilford, William, Wendy, and Winona. |
| 286 | * ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIIRemake'' reveals the name of Cloud's deceased mother, Claudia.[[note]]She did have the name before, but only in a concept art whose canonicity is debatable.[[/note]] |
| 287 | * ''VideoGame/DinerDashAdventures'' reveals that Flo's {{mysterious parent}}s are named Fred and Fairly. Her grandmother is named Florence. |
| 288 | * The ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' franchise: |
| 289 | ** In the original ''VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight'', the royal family of Medon are named Michalis, Minerva, and Maria. |
| 290 | ** In ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade'', the three Pegasus Knight sisters are named (from eldest to youngest) Fiora, Farina and Florina. |
| 291 | ** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' gives us Odin and, optionally, his daughter Ophelia. This trope applies even more if Odin's wife is Orochi, which the game's mechanics do encourage. |
| 292 | * In ''VideoGame/HiddenCity'', the Conductor reveals that his wife is named Molly and that he has two daughters named Marie and Marge. But since the Conductor himself is OnlyKnownByTheirNickname, we don't know if he fits his family's theme naming. |
| 293 | * ''VideoGame/KameoElementsOfPower'' has Kameo and her adoptive sister Kalus. |
| 294 | * ''VideoGame/{{Kileak}}'' have it's hero, Matt Coda. In the sequel, it stars Matt Coda's son, Masao Coda. |
| 295 | * The Angel Sisters of ''VideoGame/MedievalCop'' are called Aurum, Azure, Apple, Ao, and Arc. The pattern apparently extends to their human hosts [[spoiler:(Amber Heart can channel Aurum)]] and incarnations [[spoiler:(Arc Angelheart was an incarnation of, well, Arc)]]. So every woman with a name starting with "A" is suspect by this point. |
| 296 | * ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'': |
| 297 | ** The [[PunnyName Winstrate family]] from ''VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire'' all have names that originate from the word "victory.", and so, they all start with "V": Victor, Vicky, Victoria, Vito, and Vivi. |
| 298 | ** The DLC for ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' features a character named Peony and his daughter Peonia. In ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet'', we meet his other daughter Penny. |
| 299 | * ''VideoGame/PrayerOfTheFaithless'': The latest generation of the Wilder family, sort of. Aeyr possibly could have had a sister whose name started with A, because Thane's past is explored by Mia's party, and we learn some things about the naming of the family. That is, [[spoiler:Amalie was named what Aeyr would have been named if he were born a girl]]. |
| 300 | * ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'' seems to like siblings with alliterative names. We have Chris and Claire Redfield, and Alexia and Alfred Ashford. [[spoiler: There's also Albert and Alex Wesker, but they're not quite a straight example, as they're not biologically related. Also, the other children from the Wesker project didn't fit the ThemeNaming, although Albert and Alex were the only two who survived.]] |
| 301 | * ''VideoGame/ShantaeAndTheSevenSirens'': Brothers Armor Baron and Ammo Baron. |
| 302 | * ''VideoGame/TheSims2'' is full of this: in Pleasantview, we have [[AlliterativeName Darren and Dirk Dreamer]]. In Strangetown, we have the Smith family, with Jenny, Johnny and Jill; and the Specter household, with Olive and Ophelia. |

| 305 | ** Sophitia's children are named Patroklos and Pyrrha. |

In the second game he reappeared again but looking [[ProgressivelyPrettier quite different]]. English translations made the sequel version into the son of the original and named him "Rocco". |
| 307 | * ''Franchise/{{Tekken}}'': There is Jun and her son Jin. Jin also had a great-grandfather named Jinpachi (whom he may have been named after). |
| 308 | * ''VideoGame/ThisStarryMidnightWeMake'': After the third quest for Yi Xinghua, the name Yi Xinghua is mentioned, and they're surname first, so that's SameSurnameMeansRelated, and both their names start with Xing. It's revealed that, they're [[spoiler:brother and sister]]. |

| 310 | |
| 311 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 312 | * ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': |
| 313 | ** Weiss Schnee's name means "white snow". Her mother and siblings all have names beginning with the letter W that evoke the colour white and can be associated with snow when combined with their surname: Willow ("snow willow", a real-life tree species), Winter ("winter snow"), and Whitley (either "snowy white glade" or "snow-white glade"). Weiss's father, Jacques (ne Gelé, making him literally "Jack Frost"), does not share the association because he married into the family, [[GoldDigger taking]] both Willow's name and her inheritance, the company founded by Willow's father, Nicholas (who is based on Saint Nicholas -- Santa Claus). |
| 314 | ** Mercury's father's name was Marcus and both are named for Roman gods. Marcus is related to the name Mars, the Roman counterpart to Ares; and Mercury is the Roman counterpart to Hermes. Both gods have also given their names to planets. |
| 315 | ** Penny Polendina's father is named Pietro. They're both inspired by Literature/{{Pinocchio}}, with Penny as the RobotGirl with a human soul and Pietro playing Geppetto's role as her father. Their surname comes from an insult thrown at Geppetto in the original story because of the yellow wig he wears. |

| 326 | ** While they have different last names, John and Jade plus Jake and Jane are all technically related to each other (ectobiology can get ''very'' confusing). The J-family naming even extends to Grandpa/[[spoiler:pre-scratch Jake]]’s children, [[VideoGame/{{Hiveswap}} Joey and Jude]]. The only characters in the Harley-Egbert clan that avert this are A. Claire and John and Jane's fathers, the latter of whom are referred to as just [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep "Dad"]]. |
| 327 | * In ''Webcomic/IWantToBeACuteAnimeGirl'', the three siblings' names start with ch, the C coming from their mother's first initial and the H from their father, and when Cheryl chooses her new name, [[SobriquetSexSwitch she keeps with the theme]] to the relief of her parents. {{Lampshade|Hanging}}d when Cheryl calls them out for using the naming convention when last names are better for distinguishing relatives. |
| 328 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Magience}}'', Ariana has five children: Ren, Rin, Roan, Rune and Rayne. |
| 329 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' and ''Webcomic/DumbingOfAge'', Robin's sisters are named Roz and Riley. For all we know, there may be more of them; Robin prefers if her family only shows up to [[LongLostUncleAesop impart conveniently-timed life lessons.]] |
| 330 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Sinfest}}'', the Author's pets are Pooch and Percy. |
| 331 | * ''Webcomic/StandStillStaySilent'': The Madsen family seems to have a thing for M-names, [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=629 as shown by the family tree]]. Only those that married into the family are spared. |

| 337 | ** Campaign 2 has Caduceus Clay and his family: his aunt Corrin, father Cornelius, mother Constance, sisters Calliope and Clarabelle, and brother Colton. This love for C-names persists, as when Caduceus is asked to offer a temporary name to a restored Aeormaton, he immediately dubs him Charlie. |
| 338 | * ''Podcast/PokemonWorldTourUnited'' has the various Officer Jennys in the setting. Each and every one of them has a first name starting with the letter A, such as Amelia, Amethyst, or Acantha. Meaning they are all literally "A. Jenny". One of the few who ''doesn't'', Rose's grandmother, still has an alliterative sounding name Odessa. At first it seems that Rose is the OddNameOut, in keeping with her status as the family BlackSheep, but between Acts 1 and 2 it's revealed that [[MiddleNameBasis she goes by her middle name]] and her actual first name is "Alouette". |
