** PlayedForLaughs in ''Literature/CarpeJugulum'', where, due to the rule of whatever the priest says becoming their name, the crown princess of Lancre ends up with the name Esmerelda Margaret Note Spelling (which is a huge improvement over James What The Hell Is That Cow Doing In Here? Poorchick and King My God He's Heavy the First).

Poorchick and King My God He's Heavy the First). The Note Spelling came from the fact that her mother, Queen Magrat, got ''her'' name because it was what her barely literate parents wrote down for the priest to name their daughter, and he read it as it was spelled.

* Toys/{{Bionicle}} had a minor holiday known as Naming Day, where certain [[{{Hobbits}} Matoran]] were [[MeaningfulRename christened with renames]] in honor of their acts during the [[TheSwarm Bohrok]] crisis. [[RealLifeWritesThePlot The Doylist reason for the holiday]] was because of an early controversy surrounding the use of the Māori culture, with Māori activists criticized as being inappropriate. Franchise/{{LEGO}} responded with a few renames as not to directly encroach on their language, which is why a majority of them happen to be [[MyNaymeIs alterations of spelling]] ("Huki" became "Hewkii", "Jala" became "Jaller", etc.).

* ''Literature/EarthsChildren'': If a baby born to the Clan lives past seven days, a ceremony is held where they are named and formally welcomed into the Clan by the Mog-ur (holy man). The Mog-ur also meditates to determine the child's totem animal and during the ritual the totem is also announced, with the Mog-ur painting the totem symbol onto the child using red ochre.
