I think only Type 3 is "The Burly Detective Syndrome", in the context that other people use it. Type 1 is the usage of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithet ephithets]], or simply nicknames. Instead of being a way of avoiding "overusing" characters' names, it's rather a way of memorizing characters and things in oral literature.

Type 2 is the character's using nicknames, and not really the author. I'm not familiar enough to know how to deal with it.

Type 3 is "Burly Detective Syndrome".

So we rather have three different tropes tied together by the same general strand. So we can designate The Burly Detective Syndrome name to Type 3 to make it a subtrope, name the rest of the types (since Type 1 stuff is discouraged), and make the name for the supertrope.

Now for a more general name...Said The Adjective Noun sounds negative (and only Type 3 dips toward BadWriting; the other types have different intentions). So far, SaidTheAdjectiveNoun is the best name, but it's rather neutral and the naming convention is iffy.
