Basic Trope: A character's real name is revealed.
- Straight:
- A Recurring Extra janitor throughout the series is often called "the janitor", but one episode finally reveals that his real name is Alfred.
- Al the janitor's full name is revealed to be Alfred Troperson.
- Exaggerated:
- Everyone in the story is Only Known by Their Nickname or some other description before their real names are revealed at some point.
- After being called "The Janitor" for the entire series, the Series Finale finally reveals his full name as Alfred Troperson.
- Downplayed: Bob's full first name is revealed to be Robert, which probably wouldn't be too hard to guess.
- Justified:
- The episode is a Day in the Limelight focusing on the janitor.
- The janitor considers his real name some variation of Unfortunate Names, so he doesn't usually share it.
- You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious
- Inverted: Alfred Troperson's name is known from the start of the series, but for some reason the series switches to solely calling him "the janitor" at some point.
- Subverted:
- The janitor is about to reveal his full name... but he's interrupted.
- Alfred Troperson turns out to not be the janitor's real name after all.
- Double Subverted: He finally gets the chance to share his real name at the end.
- Parodied: The janitor reveals that his name really is Janitor.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted:
- The janitor's name is known from the start.
- The janitor is never given a name.
- Enforced:
- It's an adaptation of a work, and they're trying to set up a Canon Character All Along scenario.
- The janitor unexpectedly becomes an Ensemble Dark Horse, and the creators of the show decide to give him a real name.
- Since the episode primarily focuses on the janitor, it would make sense to reveal what his name is in the episode.
- Lampshaded: "Wait... his name isn't Janitor?"
- Invoked: Bob asks the janitor what his name is.
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: ???
- Discussed: "I've been wondering for a while, what's Al short for?"
- Conversed: ???
I didn't know that the main page's real name was Given Name Reveal!
