Meaningful Rename / Fan Works

• All For Luz: When she arrives on Boiling Isles, Luz Noceda takes up the name Toshiko Shigaraki on All For One's suggestion, meaning "Clever Child of Death" due to the latter seeing her as a Child Prodigy with his Quirk and has racked up a rather large body count and lost many people she loved over the summer. The surname is also All For One's as he's her mentor and the only "family" she has left now that her mother is dead. She also has lost the "purity" her original name is based on due to the events of the Death Camp, and as her life continues, it only gets worse from there.
• In Fialleril's Star Wars fics, the Amavikka culture on Tatooine includes a ritual performed by slaves who have gained their freedom in which they affirm their identity as a free individual, and may give themselves a new name if the old one has associations they wish to discard with their old life. However, not everybody chooses a new name.
• In Anthropology, Lyra Heartstrings used to just be Heartstrings. She named herself Lyra after finding the name in her study of humans. She liked the name because:
  "Most ponies had names that were made up of other words, but humans had names that were just that – names. Ponies might say that something 'tugged at the heartstrings' (a phrase that had always bothered her) but they never mentioned anything about 'Lyra.' Human names were all unique words, with no other meaning. And they were beautiful."
  • Later, it is revealed that she is really a human and that she was subconsciously remembering her birth name, Lyra Michelakos.
• In As Dreams Are Made On, the protagonist, Cassandra, is a fictionalized version of the author who landed in Bella Swan's body on the day of her arrival in Forks.

• Avenging Class:
  • Mysterious Heroine XX convinces Bruce Banner to change his alter ego's name from Hulk to Berserker.

  • After Mysterious Heroine XX undergoes a Class Change from Foreigner to Alter Ego, she starts calling herself Artie.
• In A Bad Week at the Wizengamot, Fudge attempts this when he takes the new name of 'Dark Overlord Gnuiucfes' as part of his campaign for revenge on Harry. However, Fudge is unaware that past Dark Lords like Voldemort adopted names that meant something in another language, while 'Gnuiucfes' is just the only thing he could find that made a suitable anagram of his original name "Cornelius Vikroard Fudge", undermining the significance of his new name from the start of his attempting campaign.
• In The Boy Behind The Mask, when Hiccup leaves Berk, he takes on the alias "Fjalar" (meaning "deceiver").
• In the Danny Phantom fic "Benediction", after Danny and his allies give his dark future self serious therapy so that he gets over his desire to destroy everything, Dark Danny chooses to call himself "Dan Plasmius", as his Vlad half still has enough influence that he isn't interested in being a hero but he's stable enough not to want to cause destruction.
• The Harry Potter fic "Blank Slate" opens with an amnesiac couple waking up in a field, tentatively naming themselves Jacob and Eva Andrews as they realise that they have some deeper relationship with each other. It is only after their daughter Amelia receives her Hogwarts letter and they are visited by Professor McGonagall that they start to recall their original identities as James and Lily Potter, returning to their original names as their memories return, while Amelia is given the chance to decide if she wants to be known as Andrews or Potter.

Plagg, who remembers the original world, encourages him to alter his appearance and call himself "anything other than Chat Noir".

• In the Pirates of the Caribbean fic Dead Men Tell No Tales Redone, after Carina takes command of the Black Pearl after Jack sacrifices himself to save her (in this version of events, Carina is Jack's daughter rather than Barbossa's), she asks that she instead be known as Carina Sparrow rather than Carina Smythe, as a way of honoring her father's legacy.

  Rei: Rei Ayanami is dead, I am not her. I am Rei Akagi, Ritsuko's little sister. I am not sure what I want to do when I grow up, but I would like to find out what it is like to kiss a boy. I think I would like to find out what it is like to kiss a girl, as well; Ritsuko said it was similar in most ways but different in others.
• In Double Agent Vader, when Anakin frees the droid designated XF-53 from the Empire's control, he encourages her to follow the Amavikka tradition of renaming, and she names herself KD-7 ("Kadee" for short), in reference to the Amatakka word kol-depuan, which means "unfettered".
• The Ending of the End - Love and Tolerance Edition: On her new cohort's prompting, Mean Twilight Sparkle decides to adopt a new name to avoid confusion with the original.

  Fenrir: Don't call me Bob. I am Fenrir Greyback.

  Fenrir: That was before. Bob Greyson was my human name.
• In the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls fanfic Hell and High Water, Sunset Shimmer changes her name to Sunset Stanza after a brutal assault leads to her dying, but getting a second chance at life if she agreed to become the new Siren Queen and restore their civilization. The name change is accompanied by a complete change in skin tone and hair color.

• Heretic Pride:

  • "Wrong Hordak" now goes by Zed.

• In Little Deceptions, Blank Slate, who is a Master of Disguise, refers to himself in third person narration by the name of whatever disguise he's adopted.

When Princess Celestia says his real name, Cuckoo Cloud, and is offered a second chance, he drops all the fake names and makes a Heel–Face Turn.

• In Mirrors, Zelda decides to continue living as a boy even after Ganondorf is killed. He continues to use the name "Sheik" because that's the name he's grown accustomed to using after seven years in hiding.

• In the original Stargate film, the name of Daniel Jackson's wife was Sha'uri, but in Stargate SG-1 the character's name was Sha're.

• Patterns of the Past: Olesya tells Oprah that she was originally born with a Chinese name. The head of the orphanage she stayed at following her parents' deaths didn't like the name and decided to rename her "Olga" instead, but the other children staying at the orphanage referred to her as Olesya, and the name stuck, which proved useful when Odd Squad sweeped through the orphanage looking for new employees to hire.

After becoming a Draconequus, she renames herself Odyne Tulasi Typhon, Odyne being the Greek Goddess of Pain (with Fluttercruel's talent being torture) and Tulasi being a Hindu Goddess of Loyalty who became a goddess due to her refusal to live without her deceased love (much like Fluttercruel becomes a Draconequus out of refusal to live without her father). The latter counts on a meta level, as her middle name was originally listed as Delilah, which was left over from her earlier planned characterization, which changed.

  • Filthy Rich changed his name to Onyx Tiara, both because his original name was embarrassing, and because he wanted to be more connected to his wife Golden Tiara.

  • Pane Glimmer changed her name to Starlight Glimmer after she read about a historical pony named Starlight who once tried to make everypony equal.

This spear was once named the Spear of Pissar, Areadbhair, Ibar Alai Fhidbaidha. It was named Gáe Bolg when given to me. It shall be rechristened when thrown from me. I name this weapon, Lúin Celtchair in honor of my father's past deeds. May it slay the target I have marked as it had for Lugh's slaying of the Smiter.​
