** Long before that, in the Johto region, Ash and his friends encounter a band of Diglett thieves who call themselves "The Band of Diglett Thieves." Their leader admits that they used to have a more creative name, but the old geezers who they harass could never remember it.
** Ash's mother Delia, unlike her son, likes to nickname Pokémon. This starts with her Mr. Mime, Mimey. Later, she tries to nickname Ash's Pokémon. All of her nicknames follow the exact same pattern as Mr. Mime: Litten is "Litty", Rowlet is "Rowly", and Rockruff is "Rocky". Neither Ash nor his Pokémon are terribly fond of her efforts.
* In ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'', Pantyhose Tarō had the misfortune of being named by [[DirtyOldMan Happōsai]] due to his village's tradition of letting the person who helps deliver the child name them, and Happōsai just happened to be nearby and ([[PetTheDog in a rare moment of altruism]]) decided to help his mother when she went into labor. He hates his name and seeks to defeat Happōsai so he can get a new one, since the old pervert refuses to change it otherwise. His suggestion on what to change his name to? "Awesome Tarō".
* In ''Manga/RecoveryOfAnMMOJunkie'', Moriko names her new MMO character Hayashi, which is just a variation on her own name[[note]]Both "Mori" and "Hayashi" are Japanese words for "forest", and are written extremely similarly[[/note]]. She immediately laments her own choice, but the anime further enhances this trope by showing a list of possible names she'd jotted down, almost all of which trend towards "needlessly edgy" (like "Beast Shadow" and "Cross of Darkness"). In an AllJustADream bonus episode she actually gets to meet Hayashi, who notices her staring at him and figures it's because of his name, saying "I get that a lot"; Moriko mentally apologizes to him for not coming up with a better name.
** [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Luffy]]. Generally his [[TheNicknamer nicknames]] and names involve food, though his first three names for the crew's new ship were "Bear!! Polar bear!! Lion", "Tiger!! Wolf!! Lion", and "Squid!! Octopus!! Chimpanzee" (his fourth name finally brought him back to his comfort zone with "Dumpling, Gorilla, Lion")
** Nami isn't much better. Usually, when she befriends an animal, she'll name it after whatever trait catches her attention, such as naming a camel "Eyelashes" and a giant crab "Pincers". When Zeus the cloud tells her to give him a new name after he [[spoiler: fully joins the side of the Straw Hats due to Big Mom trying to kill him]], she decides to name him "Fluff". As a result, Zeus goes back on this, and continues to go by his original name.
* A running gag in the ''XY'' series of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' is that Clemont, Ash's BunglingInventor friend, can only give his inventions names that amount to ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. His younger sister Bonnie gives him no end of grief, but [[HypocriticalHumour ironically]] isn't that much better. She calls her newly-found Pokémon "Squishy" because of its squishy body and calls Greninja's SuperMode Ash-Greninja because it resembles Ash.

* Roa Kassidy/Roa Kirishima in ''Anime/YuGiOhSEVENS'' is mentioned to have a pretty lame naming sense. He tried to name his and his cousin Romin's band "Roa and Romin" (which wouldn't even have been accurate given his best friend Tyler/Getta and other friend Toombs/Ushiro are in the band too) and according to Romin, she had to fight hard to get rid of the "and" so they were known aswell. [=RoaRomin=]. When he tried to name the team he formed with Getta and Ushiro for the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal, he just came up with "Team Roa and Getta and Ushiro". Later he instead forms a team with Yuga and Nail, and while it isn't confirmed, it's heavily implied he named "Team YugaNail with R". Deuteragonist Luke isn't much better due to his tendency to stick his nickname into everything he names with little regard for it making sense; his Battle Royal team name was "Team Lukeking Lukekings" and he thought it was sublime, while Gavin/Gakuto and Romin tried to Duel him just so he wouldn't name the team, as they knew this trope would likely come into play.

* Soichiro, similar to ''Anime/KillLaKill'' canon, is this in ''Fanfic/NaturalSelection'', but it's also revealed that this trait is hereditary, as Satsuki and Ryuko are shown to equally suck at giving things creative names, much to Nui's chagrin. They even state that they like the names they give things ''because'' of how simple and basic they are.

** Lancre ''as a country'' is [[RunningGag repeatedly said]] to suffer from this sort of thing, for two reasons. Firstly, its largely rural and uncomplicated population tend to choose names without regard for meaning ("There'd be a Chlamydia Weaver toddling around today if her mother hadn't suddenly decided that Sally was easier to spell"); and secondly, the Lancrastian naming custom dictating that whatever the naming priest says at the appropriate moment ''is'' the name. This has led to such gems as Princess Esmeralda Margaret Note Spelling, King My God He's Heavy the First, and James What The Hell's That Cow Doing In Here Poorchick.

* [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Remilia]] [[ImmortalImmaturity Scarlet]] of ''VideoGame/TouhouProject'': in a world where CallingYourAttacks is the norm, Remilia can't quite seem to get the hang of the whole "naming" thing. This results in spellcard names that range from the cliched melodramatic trying-too-hard-to-be-badass (like ''Midnight Sign [Devil King Cradle]'' or ''Destiny [Miserable Fate]'') to the truly '''baffling''' (like ''Demon [Remilia Stretch]'' or the infamous ''Scarlet Devil [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment [Scarlet Devil]]]'').

* In ''Manga/KenganAshura'''s [[YonKoma 4-Koma strips]], Rihito, Okubo, Himuro and Kaneda, collectively known as "the four idiots" decide to form a band, and ends up naming it "Maximum the Dogegencho", which Yamashita regards as a "shitty band name". Their songs' titles are pretty lame as well.
