^ x 8: Tropers/BrokenEye: Please read Administrivia/NoNewStockPhrases again. The current name MyNameIsNobody is illegal because, as Administrivia/NoNewStockPhrases says, when a trope's title "...uses a personal pronoun like "I", "me", "we", "us", "my", or "our" as if someone were referring to themselves." it makes it sound like a line of dialog (i.e. someone speaking).

The Description says that "This is when a character is given the name "Nobody" (or a tranlsation thereof) to make them seem stranger and/or more mysterious."

Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs says that tropes must convey some information to the audience. The only reason that this is a trope is because it's giving a character a name to tell the audience that they're strange and/or more mysterious. If that's the case then the example must say ''how'' they're stranger and/or more mysterious.

In other words, simply giving a character the name "Nobody" is not a trope (and not this trope, as written). All examples must explain how they're an example. If one doesn't it's a Administrivia/ZeroContextExample.

If this proposal doesn't require that the character be (or is meant to be) strange and/or mysterious, it's Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs.
