The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at You Know, That Thing Where.

Some form of rolecall is going on, and for some reason, everyone has the same name (Jim, Bob, Spartacus, etc.). However, when each name is called, they all somehow manage to know who's being referred to.
