* Similarly, ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' games are internally named after desserts: ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'' is called "Parufe" (parfait), and ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'' is called "Eclair". Breaking the pattern, ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheRainbowCurse'' is called "Seven", probably referring to the seven colors of the rainbow used for the game's seven worlds.

** The cast and crew of ''Film/ANewHope'' obviously [[ItWillNeverCatchOn had no inkling]] ''Star Wars'' was going to be such a major cultural phenomenon, and casually gave cheap nicknames or even "joke" names to characters who would receive proper names and fleshed-out backstories years later. In one of the more infamous cases, the Tonnika sisters (those two girls with the beehive hairdos in the green jumpsuits we catch a glimpse of in the cantina) were nicknamed [[{{Pun}} "Star Whores"]] for wearing their underpants outside their clothing.
