* Maybe due to DidNotDoTheResearch but an arc of Series/{{Dexter}} has the villainous Ukrainian gangsters (probably meant to be the [[TheMafiya Odesa syndicate]]) the 'Koshkas.' Koshka is a Russo-Ukrainian term for a sweet lady cat (think Duchess from Disney/TheAristocats ). To a speaker it's as silly as referring to the Yakuza as 'the Kawaii Neko-chans.'

* TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} and TabletopGame/Warhammer40000 has the [[AxeCrazy bloodthirsty]] WarGod Khorne, while his name seems intimidating when written down it's actually pronounced corn. This has led to a [[MemeticMutation meme]] about about a cereal called "Khorne Flakes".

A.K.A. Big Monster Cute Name. A specified variant of IronicNickname. If the monster feels a sense of shame regarding their name, it's also an EmbarrassingFirstName. Compare KillerRabbit. See also FluffyTamer, the person most likely to name the critter "Fluffy" in the first place. See SealedEvilInATeddyBear for this combined with SealedEvilInACan. See also SpecialPersonNormalName, TomTheDarkLord, SuperFunHappyThingOfDoom, PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny, and CuteAsABouncingBetty, a weapon-specific subtrope of this.

* ''[[Recap/ScreenOneS4E9Ghostwatch Ghostwatch]]'' deals with the haunting of a poltergeist known as "Mr. Pipes", so named because originally the family blamed the noises he was making on the pipes in the walls. Despite the whimsical name, Pipes is actually the frightening and disturbed spirit of a [[CreepyCrossdresser crossdressing child molester]] named Raymond Turnstall who lived in the Earlys' home as a lodger in the 1960s and committed suicide by hanging himself (his cats ate his face, so as a ghost he has a SkullForAHead). [[spoiler:More terrifyingly, Pipes is heavily implied to be just one constituent identity for an ancient EldritchAbomination that has haunted the area around Foxhill Drive for centuries, even before the presence of humans in Britain.]]

* LetsPlay/PlayFrame, Dan Floyd's LetsPlay channel, has a recurring ''Franchise/DarkSouls'' and ''VideoGame/Bloodborne'' co-op partner named Lady Jingle. Sounds like something a little old lady would name her cat, right? Except Lady Jingle belongs to Dan Jones, a veteran of the franchise, and is a force to be reckoned with, frequently mowing down entire rooms full of enemies before Floyd even has time to get in on the action. The two of them also make frequent mention of her habit of [[VideogameCrueltyPotential murdering innocent NPCs]] [[ItAmusedMe for her own amusement]], though since summoned characters can't mess with [=NPCs=] in the host's world, this is more or less limited to an InformedAttribute within [=PlayFrame=] itself.

He didn't find this little fact out until he went home with her one night... and she came into the bedroom wearing a nightie and the snake around her neck. She even suggested [[FetishRetardant letting the snake wrap around them as they had sex.]]
