History Main / AnimalThemeNaming

* ''Manga/AnimaYell'': The main cast's names contain names of animals: Kohana ''Hato''ya (pigeon), Uki ''Sawa''tari (monkey), Hizume Ari''ma'' (horse), ''Ko''tetsu Tatejima (tiger), and Kana ''Ushi''ku (cow).

* ''ComicBook/BlackCanary'': The Twelve Brothers in Silk are a criminal mercenary group, consisting of [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin twelve brothers]] each of whom was named after an animal of the Chinese Zodiav, and born uunder the corresponding sign.

* ''Anime/ParanoiaAgent'': Virtually every character has the character(s) of an animal in his/her name, a MeaningfulName. A good example is Harumi ''Cho'' no, a schoolteacher with [[spoiler:a split personality disorder.]] "Cho" is one word for "butterfly" in Japanese, another is "chocho" [[spoiler:reflecting on her dual selves.]] This is put into even simpler terms in Episode 5, in which a Shonen Bat impersonator tells the story so far from his... "unique" perspective, many of the characters are depicted or referred to as their respective animals.
* ''Anime/WolfsRain'': The four main characters are all named for aspects of the wolf; Kiba (Fang), Tsume (Claw), Hige (Whisker), and Toboe (Howl). The pun in the title of the second episode, "Toboe, Who Doesn't Howl", is thus lost in the English translation.
* ''Anime/{{Noein}}'' has the Dragon Knights, who are all named after different birds (Karasu=Crow, Fukurou=Owl and so on) that were representative of their personalities. I guess being called Dragon Knights sounded cooler than being called Bird Knights.

* ''Manga/OnePiece'':
** The author seems to especially love this one: Not only is the protagonist called Monkey D. Luffy, but all of the original Seven Warlords of the Sea [Crocodile, Jimbei (whale shark Fishman), Bartholomew Kuma (Bear), Gecko Moria, Donquixote Doflamingo (complete with pink feather boa), Boa Hancock(Giant pet snake, called the snake princess, and comes from an island of snake themed Amazons) and Dracule Mihawk] and the three Admirals ("Blue Pheasant", "Yellow Monkey", "Red Dog", all nicknames based on the animal companions of Japanese folk-hero Momotaro) have animal-themed names assigned to them, which more or less correspond with their characters or abilities.
* ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'':
** Some members of the Nara, Yamanaka and Akimichi families have names that include Shika (deer), Ino (boar/pig), and Chou (butterfly) after a hand in a Japanese card game.
** The Inuzuka ("dog hill", taken from an epic novel) family has names having to do with dogs, such as Kiba (fang), Hana (nose) and Tsume (claw).
** Itachi is Japanese for weasel. One of his ancestors, Izuna, is also named after another word for weasel.
** There is Sasori (scorpion), who primarily dons costume with a scorpion-like tail and has mastery over poison.
** Kisame (literally "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast demon shark]]") is an unsubtle example. Even without mentioning his signature technique, he already has blue skin and gills.
** Team Hebi (snake), later renamed to Team Taka (hawk).
* In ''Anime/WeissKreuz'', the members of Weiss all have cat-themed codenames: Bombay, Siberian, Abyssinian, Balinese, Manx, Birman, and Persia(n). Sequel series ''Weiss Kreuz: Gluhen'' adds [=LaPerm=], Havana (Brown), and Rex.
* Yurie's assistants (Ino, Shika, and Chou) in ''Anime/{{Kamichu}}'' have names related to the animals they resemble.

* Characters in the satire ''[[http://www.drunkduck.com/Sword_of_Heaven Sword of Heaven]]'' are named for animals, typically those that share traits with the characters themselves- e.g., Komadori, meaning robin, whose special techniques typically revolve around birds. The exception to the rule seems to be the Flotsam/Jetsam duo, named after an American metal band.
* The Saberdolls from ''Anime/SaberMarionetteJ'' are named after German tanks from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII which were, in turn, named after large wild cats (Tiger, Luchs[=/=]Lynx, and Panther.) This also qualifies them for VehicularThemeNaming.
* The characters in ''Anime/CyberTeamInAkihabara'' are all named after birds. Let's take the five main girls as an example: Hibari (skylark), Tsugumi (thrush), Suzume (sparrow), Kamome (seagull), and Tsubame (swallow). And there are much, much more.
* The Monster Union Agents in ''Anime/MelodyOfOblivion'' all have animals as a part of their name - Global Wildcat, Flying Bunny, Electric Sheep, etc.
* ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'': Bud Bison and Damian Wolfe. [[{{Meaningful Name}} Their compatible EMians are a bull and a wolf respectively.]]
* ''Franchise/SailorMoon'':
** The Sailor Animamates, the QuirkyMinibossSquad from the final season, which was notably the only one not to use RockThemeNaming. Their names followed the form "Sailor [metal] [animal]": Sailor Iron Mouse, Sailor Aluminium Seiren, Sailor Lead Crow, and Sailor Tin [[CatGirl Nyanko]].
** Another QuirkyMinibossSquad, the Amazon Trio from the fourth season (Tiger's Eye, Hawk's Eye and Fisheye), combines this with RockThemeNaming and LandSeaSky.

* The first characters in the surnames of the Elite Four in ''Anime/KillLaKill'', Gamagoori, Sanageyama, Inumuta, and Jakuzure mean "toad," "monkey," "dog," and "snake," respectively.

* In ''Anime/CowboyBebop'', the crew's personal ships are named after fish: Swordfish (Spike), Redtail (Faye), and Hammerhead (Jet).
* The Namekians from the ''Franchise/DragonBall'' franchise have gastropod names, such as "Nail" ("snail"), "Cargo" ("escargot"), "Dende" (from ''"denden-mushi"'', the Japanese word for "snail"), and "[[Anime/DragonBallZLordSlug Lord Slug]]".
* In ''Manga/InugamisanToNekoyamasan'', everyone but [[OnlySaneMan Aki]] has an animal name and fits some stereotype about that animal. The title characters are Inugami (''inu'' meaning dog) and Nekoyama (''neko'' meaning cat).

* ''Manga/AnimaYell'': The main cast's names contain names of animals: Kohana ''Hato''ya (pigeon), Uki ''Sawa''tari (monkey), Hizume Ari''ma'' (horse), ''Ko''tetsu Tatejima (tiger), and Kana ''Ushi''ku (cow).
* ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'' does this some of the schools, giving them AnimalMotifs corresponding to their volleyball team attributes. For example: ''Karasu''no (crow)s, ''Neko''ma (cats), No''hebi'' (snakes), ''Shiratori''zawa (swans).
* ''Manga/BoardingSchoolJuliet'' uses AnimalMotifs for the competing Black Dog and White Cat houses, and students at the school have names that reference their respective house animal.

* ''Scarecrow: Year One'' begins with the established character of Jonathan Crane and goes on to introduce his ex-mentor Professor Pigeon and his grandmother Olivia Dove (in a different apparent ShoutOut to ''Psycho'', her original name was Marion).

* In ''Comicbook/PowerPack'', the Emperor of the Snark was named Bhadsha (badger) and his son and successor was Jakal. While other Snark didn't follow this trend, Creator/AlEwing's Snarkwar in ''Comicbook/{{Royals}}'', ''Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy'' and ''Comicbook/{{SWORD}}'' has run with it, with characters including Wezel, Kuga, Djagyar, Hyinar, Koyoti, Stote, Khondor, and so on.

* In ''Film/KillBill,'' Bill gives each of his agents of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad code names matching the 5 snakes that have the deadliest poisons in the world: Black Mamba, California Mountain Snake, Cottonmouth, Copperhead, and Sidewinder. Bill himself is also called "Snake Charmer". Except that California Mountain Snakes are non-venomous. However they do eat other snakes. [[spoiler:Particularly rattlesnakes. Like the Sidewinder.]]
* The protagonists of ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' have a bird theme -- there's Jack ''Sparrow'', Elizabeth ''Swann'', and Will ''Turner'' (a type of swan, appropriately enough). ''William Turner'' happened to be the name of a 16th century naturalist who did extensive studies of birds.
* In ''Film/OverTheTop'', the finalists of the arm wrestling tournament are all named after animals, whether it's their real name (Lincoln Hawk, John Grizzly, Bull Hurley) or a nickname ("Mad Dog" Madison)
* [[WesternTerrorists The Fishes]] in ''Film/ChildrenOfMen'' are named for their goal of having Britain be open to refugees from other countries, most of which aren't [[ApocalypseAnarchy doing too]] [[ChildlessDystopia well.]] It's also mentioned that the term "Cod" is used for English people who support the Fishes.

* The ''wuxia'' ''Film/TheMightyOne''
* The major male villains in ''Series/{{Luke Cage|2016}}'' all have snake-like nicknames, with Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes, Willis "Diamondback" Stryker, and John "Bushmaster" [=McIver=]. Although of the three, only Diamondback actually has used the snake analogy for his nickname. Cottonmouth got his nickname from the cotton swabs he regularly put in his mouth when his teeth were knocked out in fights, while Bushmaster got his nickname from the brand of rum that his parents brewed when they worked with the Stokes'. In general, animal nicknames are very prevalent in the criminal world of Harlem, since season 2 also gives us Raymond "Piranha" Jones and Dontrell "Cockroach" Hamilton. have its villains all named after dragons. The BigBad is Abbot Lung (Dragon), and his five acolytes are named Dragon Eye, Dragon Tooth, Dragon Tail, Dragon Gall and Dragon Claws.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': You can sometimes spot an [[{{Animorphism}} Animagus]] or lycanthrope in the series by their name. Professor Remus Lupin was a [[WolfMan Werewolf]] (not only is Lupine the generic name for a Wolf, Remus is the brother of Romulus, two boys who were literally RaisedByWolves and created Rome), another werewolf is Fenrir Grayback (Fenrir is the wolf that eats Odin in Norse mythology), Sirius (another name for Dog Star) Black a black dog, and Rita Skeeter was a bug ("skeeter" being a slang term for mosquito).

* We only ever see one member of the Tern family in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', Captain Raven Tern, but it's mentioned that she has or had a sister named Hawk. Sisters of this family seem to function as {{Hypercompetent Sidekick}}s to princesses they are assigned to, helping them as they learn to govern.
* Heralds in Fiona Patton's ''Literature/TalesOfTheBranionRealm'' medieval fantasy series have bird-themed names, possibly referring to their swift bearing of messages. Names include Ploverian, Wrenassandra, Ptarmiganna, Robinarden, Ospreyan, and Eagleynne.
* In Casino Royale by Ian Fleming, Felix Leiter is described as having feline slanted eyes.
* In the ''Literature/UkiahOregon'' series the Pack is divided into outlaw motorcycle clubs: the Dog Warriors, the Demon Curs, the Devil Dogs, the Hell Hounds and the Wild Wolves. This is due to the fact that they all share wolf DNA.

* The Wickan Clans in the ''Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen'' are named after animals, for example the Crow Clan, the Foolish Dog Clan or the Weasel Clan.

* In the ''Literature/BardicVoices'' series, all Free Bards take on (or are given by their new peers) bird names. They adopted this practice from the Gypsies, who take on use-names based on their jobs.
* ''Literature/NightWorld'':
** Besides plants and gemstones, lamia vampires traditionally have animal names, especially birds. This includes Dove, Kestrel and Raven; Hunter is a borderline example. Jez may also count; her full name is Jezebel and there's a species of butterfly called this.
** Shapeshifters sometimes have names hinting at their animal form. Bern is a bear shifter, Gavin is a hawk/falcon shifter, Fulton is an eagle shifter. There's a shifter named Sekhmet whose form isn't specified, though if you know your Egyptian mythology, it's insinuated she's a lion given Sekhmet is a goddess with lion's head or who takes the form of a lioness.
* All entries in Creator/RadityaDika's comedic book series detailing his personal life have animal names in them. Examples include ''Kambing Jantan'', ''Cinta Brontosaurus'', ''Marmut Merah Jambu'', and ''Manusia Setengah Salmon'' (translated from Indonesian, those titles mean "Male Goat", "Love of Brontosaurus", "Pink Guinea Pig", and "Half-Salmon Human", respectively).

* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights2: Mask of the Betrayer'': Slightly lampshaded when your character meets Efram the Stag and Susah the Crow, part of a five-person group of siblings known as "The Menagerie," who ask for your help in finding their sister, Kaelyn the Dove. You have the option of asking "'The Dove?' Are you all named after animals?" when they tell you this.
* ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series:
** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', members of FOXHOUND are named after animals.
** All mercenaries in "Militaires Sans Frontieres" and "Diamond Dogs" have animal codenames. MSF soldiers are called just by the animal, Diamond Dogs soldiers have an another word in front of the animal. For example: "Alligator" for MSF, "Blazing Shark" for Diamond Dogs.
** In ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'', [[spoiler: The Beauty and the Beast unit takes this trope one step further, combining the animal names of FOXHOUND and the emotions of the Cobra Unit (for example, combining Vulcan Raven and The Fury to make Raging Raven.) Incidentally, they also have the weapons of Dead Cell, but that doesn't affect the naming.]]
* ''VideoGame/PunchOut'': The Major Circuit opponents in the NES version of included King '''Hippo''', Great '''Tiger''', and Bald '''Bull'''. Also included is Don Flamenco, which sounds sort of like "Don '''Flamingo'''".

* In the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' games, most of the UNSC's vehicles are named after animals: the Scorpion tank, Mongoose ATV, Warthog LRV, Elephant troop transport, Hornet VTOL and Pelican dropship, just to name a few. Further, atmospheric flying vehicles are named after flying animals (appropriately).

* ''VideoGame/LaCordaDOro Starlight Orchestra'':
** Takagamine High characters, with Gen'ichirō ''Washi''gami (eagle), Ukiha Mikado (close to the name of a species of butterfly), and ''Taiga'' Dōmoto (tiger). Ukiha's father Izumi also appears to be named after a species of rodent.
** Lazarus Academy characters are named after fish, and the band they form is also ''Neon Fish''. We have Hajime ''Sasa''zuka (bamboo gall, called "bamboo fish" in Japanese) and Ryōsuke ''Ni''shina (Thai Chinese name for tilapia).

* As befitting of his serpentine nature, {{Orochi}} from ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi'' names his demonic generals after breeds of snakes (Copperhead, Diamondback, etc.)
* Most of the light Axon vehicles in ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004'' and ''VideoGame/UnrealTournamentIII'' are named after animals; the others either have Biblical or {{punny name}}s.

* [[FishPeople Boron]], [[ProudWarriorRace Split]], and [[ProudMerchantRace Teladi]] ships in the ''VideoGame/{{X}}-Universe'' games all follow their own version of Animal naming. Boron use sea creatures (Ray, Orca, Barracuda), Split use aggressive animals (Caiman, Mamba, Raptor), and the Teladi use birds (Falcon, Condor, Shrike).
* Fighter models in ''VideoGame/TachyonTheFring}'' not used exclusively by either [[MegaCorp GalSpan]] or [[LaResistance the Bora]] tend to be named after predatory fish (e.g. Mako, Piranha). Might be an oblique nod to SpaceIsAnOcean.
* ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'': Most of the Corpus MechaMooks are named after animals: Moa, Osprey, Jackal, Hyena, Raptor.
* [[VillainProtagonist Crow]] from {{VideoGame/Nefarious}}.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Beatmania}} IIDX'', DJ Troopers had animal names for the songs in its second set of boss songs, complete with HumongousMecha in the video (Kraken/Eagle/Lion/Scorpion/Humanoid).
* In ''VideoGame/EveOnline'', Caldari frigates, destroyers, and cruisers are generally named after birds, (e.g. Cormorant, Blackbird).
* In ''VideoGame/{{Nectaris}}'', most units that aren't foot soldiers are named after animals, e.g. Panther, Bison, Rabbit, Octopus, Eagle, Mule.
* In ''VideoGame/{{Solatorobo}}'', most of the towns are named after various canine breeds.

* Each of the Empire's Generals in ''VideoGame/SushiStrikerTheWayOfSushido'' are named after animals, and the people who work for them follow their naming scheme too: Kodiak and his group are named after bears, Ausprey and his group are named after birds of prey and scavenging birds, Purrsilla and her group are named after felines, and Tiburon and his group are named after sharks.

* Most machines in ''VideoGame/FZero'' are named after animals. The few that aren't tend to be named after animal appendages ("Deep Claw", "Big Fang"), weather phenomena ("Night Thunder", "Mighty Typhoon/Hurricane"), celestial bodies ("King/Queen Meteor", "Great Star") or just plain objects ("Death Anchor").
* In ''VideoGame/Code7'', most of the EIU agents you meet are named after animals: Bear, Coyote, Lion, Rabbit and Raven.
* ''VideoGame/AlnamNoKiba'': The 12 main characters all have kanji readings for animals from the EasternZodiac as part of their name. Specifically, their names are each derived from the [[{{Animorphism}} animal they transform into]].
* ''VideoGame/CubeColossus'': The missiles are {{named|Weapon}} after birds: MS-LM "Eagle", MSM-TG "Swallows", MSD-TG "Falcon", except OddNameOut MSM-X "Fafnir".
* In ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt'', the names of Gunvolt's guns are all serpent-themed in some form or another, with one exception.
** '''Orochi''', '''Naga''', '''Mizuchi''', and '''Vasuki''' all refer to mythological serpents with varying numbers of heads. They can tag eight, five, one, and four enemies respectively.
** '''Cerberus''' was named after the three-headed hellhound from Greek mythology. It can tag three enemies. While the Cerberus is a canine, it's sometime depicted with a serpent's tail and a mane of snakes, which admittedly stretches the serpent theme a bit. In the Japanese version the gun was actually named after '''Ghidorah''', Toho's three-headed giant dragon best known for being one of Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'s recurring foes.
** '''Technos''' is a reference to the defunct game company best known for ''Franchise/DoubleDragon''.[[note]]In the Japanese version, the gun's name is spelled 双截龍 in kanji and テクノス in kana, which makes the intended reference a bit more obvious.[[/note]] It can tag two enemies.
* ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight'': The drones used by the Arkham Knight are all named after reptiles of some kind: venomous snakes for the tanks (Rattler, Mamba, Diamondback, King Cobra) and mythological creatures for the aerial drones (Dragon, Serpent).

* From WebAnimation/{{Hololive}}, we have three members of the Hololive GAMERS group: Korone ''Inu''gami ("''dog'' god"), Okayu ''Neko''mata (named after [[BakenekoAndNekomata a cat-themed youkai]]), and Mio ''Ookami'' ("''wolf''").

* ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'': The Namekian/Snail themes continue with (Es)Cargot, Lumaca (Italian for "slug"), and Gast Carcolh (the former name brings to mind "gastropod", the latter [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Carcolh a French mollusk beast]]).
* The three young boys who hang out at Salty Cracker Comics in ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''. The main one was eventually named as Duck because of his baseball cap, and his friends were much later named as Drake and Bill. There's also Catalina Bobcat and a catgirl-obsessed minor character called Kitty.
* ''Webcomic/GenocideMan'': The five titular {{Super Soldier}}s took on new surnames to protect their civilian friends and families when they founded the [[OneWorldOrder Genocide Project]] -- Jacob [[MrSmith Doe]], Peter Pup, Kevin Kidd, Lola Lamb, and [[OddNameOut Joey]]. Any connotations of innocence are coincidental at best and night-dark GallowsHumor at worst.

* ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre'' has the eponymous character, his father, White Pantera (panther), and grandfather Puma Loco. Their past generations have included people such as Dark Leapord, Golden Leon (lion), Mighty Cheetar, and Justice Jaguar. On the villains side we have the Flock: Lady Gobbler, Vultura, and Black Cuervo (raven).
* In ''WesternAnimation/ThunderCats2011'', overlaps with ADogNamedDog due to an abundance of BeastFolk. {{Catfolk}} Lion-O, Cheetara, Tygra, Jaga, Panthro, Lynx-O, Leo and Panthera all look as one would expect, as do [=WilyKat=] and [=WilyKit=], [[{{Fishmen}} Fishman]] Captain Koinelius Tunar and [[LizardFolk Chameleon]] Khamai.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' games, most of the UNSC's vehicles are named after animals: the Scorpion tank, Mongoose ATV, Warthog LRV, Elephant troop transport, Hornet VTOL and Pelican dropship, just to name a few.

** Many of their Gresley A1 steam locomotives were named after racehorses from the era.

** And finally, in the British Rail days, the racehorse trend was briefly revived for the Class 55 "Deltic" diesels, which ran on former LNER turf.

** Many of their Gresley A1 steam locomotives were named after racehorses from the era. This trend was briefly revived in the British Rail days for the Class 55 "Deltic" diesels which ran on former LNER turf.

** And finally, Arthur Peppercorn, who came after Thompson, named some of his A1 and A2 locomotives after either racehorses or birds ''a la'' Gresley.

* The major male villains in ''Series/{{Luke Cage}}'' all have snake-like nicknames, with Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes, Willis "Diamondback" Stryker, and John "Bushmaster" [=McIver=]. Although of the three, only Diamondback actually has used the snake analogy for his nickname. Cottonmouth got his nickname from the cotton swabs he regularly put in his mouth when his teeth were knocked out in fights, while Bushmaster got his nickname from the brand of rum that his parents brewed when they worked with the Stokes'.

The BigBad is Abbot Lung (Dragon), and his five acolytes are named Dragon Eye, Dragon Tooth, Dragon Tail, Dragon Gall and Dragon Claws.

W Motors vehicles [[note]] the Lykan Hypersport and Fenyr Supersport [[/note]] both have names relating to wolves.

* Most Lamborghini vehicles [[note]] barring the 350GT, 400GT, Espada, Countach, Silhouette, LM002. Sesto Elemento, Centenario, SC18 Alston, Sian and Essenza [[/note]] are all named after either individual or breeds of Spanish fighting bulls (with the Urus being named after the ancestor of domestic cattle).

----

* ''VideoGame/LaCordaDOroStarlightOrchestra'':

For superpowered people that adopt this, see AnimalThemedSuperbeing. If this gets applied to an animal itself, then it's either a case of ADogNamedDog (if the name reflects the animal's species) or NonIndicativeName (if not). SuperTrope to ColorAnimalCodename, which basically [[JustForFun/XMeetsY combines]] this with ColourfulThemeNaming.

* ''Volpone'': This one is OlderThanSteam (at least), as Ben Jonson used it in his 1607 play, in which wealthy trickster Volpone (fox) and his double-crossing servant Mosca (fly) attempt an involved con game on the lawyer Voltore (vulture), the decrepit Corbaccio (raven), and the thuggish Corvino (crow).

* The criminals in ''Pinball/PoliceForce'' are Drug Rat, Diamond Weasel, Machine-Gun Croc, Loan Shark, and [[TyrannosaurusRex Mafiosaurus Rex]]. Justified in that the game takes place in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals.

* ''Literature/NightWorld'': Besides plants and gemstones, lamia vampires traditionally have animal names, especially birds. This includes Dove, Kestrel and Raven; Hunter is a borderline example. Jez may also count; her full name is Jezebel and there's a species of butterfly called this.

** Most of Leman Russ' forces have wolf-themed names, whether individually or on a Legion level.

* The ''wuxia'' ''Film/TheMightyOne'' have its villains all named after dragons. The BigBad is Abbot Lung (Dragon), and his five acolytes are named Dragon Eye, Dragon Tooth, Dragon Tail, Dragon Gall and Dragon Claws.
