7Well, TheNounAndTheNoun [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] CharacterTitle. Usually the title characters are either lovers or HeterosexualLifePartners. This is also a standard title form for {{Buddy Cop Show}}s. It's also the obvious choice for a SketchShow starring a [[DoubleActsAndGroups Double Act]].
8
9A variant, often found in slacker comedy films, is "[[CharacterActionTitle Name and Name Do Stuff]]". (See also EpisodeFinishesTheTitle.)
10
11If one of the names is mostly irrelevant, see LesserStar.
12
13SubTrope of MultiCharacterTitle. See also AlliterationAndAdventurers. If the characters are lawyers or similar professional partners (or names that evoke this), may overlap with TheLawFirmOfPunPunAndWordplay.
