Lynn's name is also the only one who hasn't changed, since "Lynn" is a unisex name.

Bubbles is the only Powerpuff Girl that is not named after a flower... unless you count [[{{Gonk}} Bunny]] and Bullet (and later Bliss). This is reversed but [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in-universe. Blossom and Bubbles have meaningful names - Blossom was chosen because she was the first to open up to the Professor, like a flower. Bubbles was chosen because of her bubbly personality. And Buttercup was chosen because it also started with a B (though it has three syllables).

* In ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins'', the eponymous penguins have the names Zidgel, Fidgel, Midgel, and Kevin.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/AaahhRealMonsters'' episode, "The Five Faces of Ickis", a Huckster creates a potion for Ickis that makes him create five clones of him [[RingerPloy to help him with his five-scare assignment the Gromble gave him]]. The Huckster names the five clones Trickis, Tickis, Thickis, Chickis, and Gummo.
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears'' presents an interesting case of this trope, in that all but one of the Gummi Bears' names are [[MeaningfulName meaningful]]. Sunni is the CheerfulChild (with yellow fur), Cubbi the TagalongKid and youngest in the group, Tummi the BigEater, Grammi the ApronMatron, Gruffi is a grump (albeit [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold with a heart of gold]]), and Gusto is HotBlooded. That leaves Zummi, the only one without a meaningful name. It may have something to do with his spoonerism tendencies, or to emphasize his "wizard-like" nature given that a lot of sound effect depictions have the letter Z, like "Zap" or "Kazaam".
* Everyone in ''WesternAnimation/AlmostNakedAnimals'' is ADogNamedDog. Except for Howie, who ''is'' a dog.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
** Gumball's parents are named Richard and Nicole. His ascended pet/brother is named Darwin, and his sister is named Anais. And yet Gumball is the odd name out. [[note]] Originally, his real name was Zach, with Gumball just being his nickname. But after the events of a certain episode, he legally changed his name to Gumball[[/note]]
** The Fitzgeralds' names: [[AlphabeticalThemeNaming Penny, Polly, Patrick]]... and Judith.
* Yakko, Wakko, and Dot (the latter being the [[SmurfettePrinciple Warner Sister]]) from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', who get double credit for this trope as the actors that voice them are all similar, with two rhyming names and a third odd name: Creator/{{Tress|MacNeille}}, Creator/{{Jess|Harnell}}, and Creator/{{Rob|Paulsen}}.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'', the "Tough Customers" consist of Rattles, Slink, Binky, and Molly.
* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'':
** Out of all living people in the Fire Nation Royal Family, Zuko is the only one whose name doesn't start with a vowel. His sister is named Azula, his parents are Ozai and Ursa, and his uncle is named Iroh. This also applies to his SpinOffspring as his daughter is named Izumi and his grandson Iroh. He has a granddaughter too, but her name has never been revealed.
** There are a handful or so of characters whose names stand out for being Western in origin. Zuko and Azula’s mom is named Ursa, which is Latin for “bear”. Katara is derived from "cataracta", Latin for "waterfall". The gang helps a woman deliver a baby named Hope. In two instances of floral names, Toph’s mom is named Poppy and there’s a hippy woman named Lily. In ''Korra'' the only character with a Western name is Toph’s granddaughter Opal.
** Most of the direct heirs of the Fire Nation Royal Family have a strong "Z" sound in their names somewhere: Sozin, Azulon, Ozai, Zuko, Azula, and Izumi. The only exceptions are the Irohs and Iroh I's son, Lu Ten.
** Tenzin is the only one of Aang and Katara's children to not be named after another character in the series, he's instead [[NamedAfterSomeoneFamous named for the Dalai Lama]]. Bumi is named after Aang's friend and Kya after Katara's mother.
** Of the original Team Avatar’s six children, Kya's the only one whose name doesn’t rhyme with another. Izumi and Bumi rhyme as do Tenzin, Lin, and Suyin.
* ''WesternAnimation/BigCityGreens'':
** The members of Nancy Green's old biker gang are named Skids, Leadfood, Lord Chrome, and Dan.
** Nancy herself is the only nuclear Green member without a short i sound in her name (Cr'''i'''cket, T'''i'''lly, B'''i'''ll, Al'''i'''ce).
** Likewise, Cricket himself is the only member of his main friendship circle without a long e sound in his name (Till'''y''', Rem'''y''', Benn'''y''', Kik'''i''', Weez'''ie''').
** The four biggest farm animals of the Green house are named '''M'''iss Brenda, '''M'''elissa, '''M'''arjorie, and...Herbert.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Birdz}}'', Sleepy Bat is the only character with a "cartoony" name instead of a more normal one. Lead character Eddie and his family could also qualify, since their last name is Stork''owitz'' instead of the SpeciesSurname that everyone else has.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'' episode "T-Rex Trouble", the three baby tyrannosauruses that Blaze and Zeg befriend are named Stompy, Chompy and Squeak.
* An episode of the Disney series ''WesternAnimation/{{Bonkers}}'' had the eponymous character being followed by agents Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, and [[Music/TheBeatles Ringo]].
* The Ghostly Trio of ''WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost'': Fatso, Fusso, and Lazo (only one without an F), who become Fatso (only one without an S), Stretch (only one with one syllable instead of two), and Stinkie in TheMovie.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/CatDog'' episode "Back to School", we are introduced to Cliff's nephew Biff, Shriek's niece Squeak, and Lube's nephew Bartholomew, whose name obviously doesn't rhyme with his uncle's.
* ''WesternAnimation/CleoAndCuquin'': Out of the six siblings, Cleo is the only one with a regular common name, which stands out from the others (Cuquin, Maripi, Pelusin, Teté, Colitas).
* ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' has the FiveManBand of Abby, Wally, Kuki, Hoagie... and ''Nigel''. Additionally, along with Nigel's name not ending with an "-y" sound, Abby's name is the only one out of the five to have her name start with a vowel.
* ''WesternAnimation/DanielTigersNeighborhood'': One of the families consists (not counting Chrissie, who isn't in the immediate family) of Elaine, Elaina,... and Stan.
* ''WesternAnimation/DastardlyAndMuttleyInTheirFlyingMachines'': Klunk is the only one in the Vulture Squadron to have a name that doesn't end in Y. Dick Dastardl'''y''', Muttle'''y''' and Zill'''y'''. Also, Dick is the only one of the four to be known by name ''and'' surname.
* ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'':
** The ''Pteranodon'' children are named Tiny, Shiny, and Don. If we add Buddy, a young ''T. rex'' adopted by the ''Pteranodon'' family, Don is the only child of the family whose name doesn't end in "y", as well as the only one with a [[AerithAndBob normal name]].
** Laura the ''Giganotosaurus'' is one of the few characters whose name doesn't rhyme or alliterate with their genus, and one of the even fewer with a "the" in the middle.
** Unlike most of the characters, Elliot Enantiornithine's and Henry the Hermit Crab's {{Species Surname}}s refer to groups of animals instead of genera.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DocMcStuffins'', the [=McStuffins=] siblings are Dottie (or Doc), Donnie, and ''Maya'' (who was adopted later in the series).
* ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'': In "Bing! Bang! Boom!", the twins want to name the three baby Thunderdrums 'Bing', 'Bang' and 'Lloyd'.
* In ''WesternAnimation/DuckDodgers'' the four quadrants of the galaxy are named as Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Steve.
* Lena from ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'' is the only member of the Sabrewing family not named after a shade of purple (since she was adopted as a teenager).
* In the ShowWithinAShow "The Squishy Bears" in ''WesternAnimation/EekTheCat'', we have Cozy, Puffy, Wuzz-Wuzz and ''Pierre''.
* On ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'', the Anti-Fairies are all {{Evil Counterpart}}s of the Fairies, with names like "Anti-Cosmo", "Anti-Wanda", etc. Poof's analogue, however, goes by [[SdrawkcabName Foop]] instead. PlayedForLaughs with the [[OctopoidAliens Yugopotamians]]:

* [[Creator/KeithDavid Goliath]] from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}'' is (initially) the only member of the Manhattan Clan that's not named after a certain section of New York City. Gargoyles usually have NoNeedForNames, so the others took names in modern times; Goliath, however, was named by humans back in the Middle Ages. He's later joined by [[AffirmativeActionGirl Angela]], whose birth clan tended to use angelic names. However, WordOfGod confirms that their caregivers couldn't think of correct names for all thirty hatchlings, which is why there's also an Ophelia.
* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'':
** In the first episode, there's a group of gnomes named Jeff, Carson, Steve, Jason, and... [[TheUnintelligible Shmebulock]].
** The members of Sev'ral Timez are Greggy C, Creggy G, Leggy P, Chubby Z, and Deep Chris.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HeyArnold'', Frankie G.'s group consist of several people whose names end in an "-ie" or "-y" suffix and their last initial, and Chaz.
* ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' has the episode title variant. [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming Almost every episode]] is called "The [Something] Car." The season one finale, however, is called "The Engine." While that's still the name of a car, season two diverges further with an episode called "The Wasteland."
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' shows Dib setting up a spy camera in Zim's kitchen and watching the feed from his room while his four recording devices, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Stevie, are being repaired.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheJetsons'' are named George, Jane, Judy, and Elroy.
* On ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'', [[WhiteSheep Beezy]] is the only member of the Heinous family not named Lucius.
* In the 2010 animated series of ''Animation/TheJungleBook'', the crocodile's five sons are Biter, Grabber, Chomper, Guzzleguts, and Colin.
* The Possible family in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' has Kim, Jim, Tim, Slim, (great aunt) Mim, and Joss.
* On ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill,'' Bill goes back to his ancestral home and meets three beautiful women named Lily, Rose, and Violetta. All three come onto him, but Bill knows that one of them [[KissingCousins is his biological cousin]] while the others are his cousins' widows; he just doesn't know which is which. While all three follow FloralThemeNaming, it's Violetta, the one with the variant, to whom he's related.
** Cotton's platoon from World War 2 seems to consist of men with 1 of 3 nicknames: Fatty, Stinky and Brooklyn... and then there's Irwin Linker and Topsy.
* ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'': In "Not Home on the Range", the horses are named Trusty, True Blue, Mr. Dependable, and Screwball.
* In ''WesternAnimation/LittlePrincess'', the Princess's pets are named Scruff, Puss, and Horace. Horace is the only one with a proper name and the only one whose name has two syllables instead of one.
* ''WesternAnimation/LoliRock'' has this with the names of the five girls who are heroes so far. We've got Auriana, Talia, Carrisa, Lyna, and their leader Iris - that name doesn't fit in because it doesn't end with an A.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'':
** The ten daughters all have their names made of four letters (i.e. Lori, Leni, Luna). The one son, Lincoln, is the exception to the letter limit.
** Their mom, Rita Loud is the only (human) member of the family whose name [[AlliterativeFamily does not begin with the letter "L"]].
** Lynn is also the only one of the kids with a one-syllable name, and Luan is the only one in the whole household whose name is emphasised on the second syllable.
** From the dream Lincoln had where everyone had swapped genders, the boy versions of the sisters still follow the four-letter rule (Loki, Loni, Luke, etc.) but Lincoln's girl version, Linka, doesn't have four letters. Lynn's name is also the only one who hasn't changed, since "Lynn" is a unisex name.
** In another dream Lincoln had, there is a larger version of the family where everyone's a rabbit. Their names are Betty (Lori), [[NiceGirl Beverly]], Blair (Leni), [[HairTriggerTemper Brenda]], Barbara (Luna), [[NewAge Bodhi]], Bebe (Luan), [[IAmVeryBritish Bippa]], Bailey (Lynn), Bella (Lucy), Bernadette (Lola), [[{{Cowgirl}} Beulah]], Beatrice (Lisa), [[PlotAllergy Blanche]], [[CreatureOfHabit Bethany]], [[SupremeChef Brie]], Bernice (who's superstitious), [[LovableJock Bertha]], [[EccentricArtist Bianca]], [[LovableCoward Brooke]], [[ShipperOnDeck Belinda]], [[{{Bookworm}} Birdie]], [[{{Sleepyhead}} Beth]], [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny Brandy]], [[PhoneaholicTeenager Bridget]], and... Warren (Lincoln).
** The Yates family consists of Bumper Sr. with his children Bumper Jr., Beatrix, Belle, and Beau, and his wife and their mother ''Jancey''.
** The [=McBride=] family consists of Howard, Harold, and their adopted son Clyde.
** From the ShowWithinAShow ''Dream Boat'', the cast consists of known love interests Bronson, Brock, Bram, Bryant, Blaine, and the heroine ''Karen''.
* All the characters in ''WesternAnimation/MaryokuYummy'' have GratuitousJapanese names (Ooka, Hadagi, etc.) except for Bob. This could be because he's a delivery man, and doesn't live in the same land as the main characters, though.
* Most of the band members of Dethklok in ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'' all have violent or fantastic names: William Murderface, Toki Wartooth, Nathan Explosion, Skwisgaar Skwigelf... and then there's the drummer, Pickles.
* ''WesternAnimation/MollyOfDenali'': Molly is the only one in her friendship group with Tooey and Trini whose name doesn't start with a T.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** The six main character ponies named: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Twilight Sparkle. The last name is the only one with four syllables; the rest have only three syllables each.
** Pinkie's name is unusual in that it's explicitly a nickname. Her full name is "Pinkamena [Diane] Pie". Her middle name also stands out in a world where everyone has names like "Applejack" or "Starlight", being one of the few ponies (Trixie is another one) with such a name.
** There's also one of Pinkie's sisters: In a world where every character has exotic names (for real world standards) she is called Maud (although her full name is [[PunnyName Maud Pie]]). Subverted in that her full name is "Maudalina Daisy Pie".
* In the ''WesternAnimation/OhYeahCartoons'' short "The Feelers", Stinger is the only member of the titular insect rock band whose name doesn't begin with M, the other members being named Mo Skito, Mitzi Moth, and Max.
* ''WesternAnimation/PepperAnn'''s grandma, Lillian, had two daughters, Lydia (the protagonist's mom), and Jane. Jane was supposed to be "Lane," but Lillian was so tired after giving birth that she accidentally reversed the L.
* All of the kids in ''WesternAnimation/PeppaPig'' have {{Alliterative Name}}s except George Pig.
* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'':
** Candace repeatedly mentions that she dreams of marrying [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Jeremy]] and having two children named Xavier and Amanda. Then comes an episode when her little brothers travel through time and meet her future children: Amanda, Xavier [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Fred]].
** Ferb's cousins are named Beckham, Beckham, Pelé, Beckham, Pelé, and Eliza ([[SubvertedTrope middle name Beckham]]).
* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'', a character named Larry was introduced. Unlike Pinky and the Brain, Larry was not named after a body part (he was named after one of the Three Stooges).
* In the ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'' cartoon "Jeopardy Sheriff," Popeye reads a story to Swee' Pea:
-->'''Popeye:''' Once upon a time there were three bears--Moe, Sam, Lefty and George. Now you may not believe that but those are the [[IncrediblyLamePun bear facts.]] Anyway, these three bears--of which there were four--lived in a motel.
* One episode of the ''WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010'' series features five puppy siblings: Whip, Chip, Blip, Flip, and Chubbers.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Powerpuff Girls|1998}}'' are named Blossom, Buttercup, and Bubbles. Bubbles is the only Powerpuff Girl that is not named after a flower... unless you count [[{{Gonk}} Bunny]] and Bullet (and later Bliss). This is reversed but [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] in-universe. Blossom and Bubbles have meaningful names - Blossom was chosen because she was the first to open up to the Professor, like a flower. Bubbles was chosen because of her bubbly personality. And Buttercup was chosen because it also started with a B (though it has three syllables).
* The Color Kids in ''WesternAnimation/RainbowBrite'' all have a PunnyName or an AlliterativeName, the exception being Lala Orange.
* In ''WesternAnimation/ReadyJetGo'', Jet's family members [[EdibleThemeNaming are named after vegetables]] such as Carrot, Celery, Zucchini, and Eggplant. However, Jet isn't named after a vegetable and neither is his cousin Zerk.
* As the intro says, "Bob" works great for this. ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'' takes place inside a computer, so characters are named after actual computer terms -- Dot Matrix, Mouse, Megabyte, Hexadecimal, Daemon. And then there's our hero, the Guardian of the system, Bob.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife'':
** In the Christmas special, Rocko's new elf neighbors are all named after tools, except "Mango" (as the family patriarch explains, "I was feeling fruity").
** Filburt and Dr. Hutchison's four children (introduced at the end of "From Here to Maternity") are named Gilbert, Shellbert, Norbert, and Missy.
* ''WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle'': Boris Badenov once claimed to be a partner in the advertising firm of Dancer, Prancer, Blitzen, and Fink. In the "Rue Britannia" story arc, Rocky and Bullwinkle are antagonized by three schemers named Filcher, Belcher, and Jay.
* The Polie children in ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'' are Olie, Zowie, Coochie, and ''Coo'', Coo being the only one whose name doesn't end in "i-e".
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'':
** Alisa is the only Carmichael sibling with three syllables in her name instead of two. The others are Buster, Edwin, and Susie.
** In the Snow White parody, the dwarf babies are named Baldy (Tommy), Scaredy (Chuckie), Drooly (Dil), Spazzy (Kimi), Icky (Lil), Sticky (Phil), and Furball (Spike, whose dwarf name is a noun not an adjective and ends in a letter other than Y.)
* In ''WesternAnimation/SantaClausIsCominToTown,'' Tanta Kringle is the only one of the elves whose first name doesn't rhyme with Kringle. The others are Dingle, Wingle, and Tingle.
* In ''WesternAnimation/SaturdaySupercade'', the Monkey Biz Gang consisted of four monkeys named Bingo, Bango, Bongo, and Fred.
* ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'':
** The four human members of Mystery Incorporated are Daphne, Velma, Norville[[note]]Shaggy[[/note]], and [[AerithAndBob Fred.]]
** An episode of ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'' features a family carnival run by the Jipners, who consisted of Jolly, Joey, Jerry, Julie (to name a few) and Bart.
** ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'': In [[YetAnotherChristmasCarol "Scroogey Doo"]], Bob Cratchit has six sons and only one of them isn't named Tim.
* ''WesternAnimation/ShimmerAndShine'': In "Nazboo's Family Reunion", Nazboo is revealed to have siblings named Razboo, Kazboo and ''Frank''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
** "This is Maude, Rod, Todd, and I'm Ned!"
** In the Snow White parody, the dwarves are named Crabby (Moe), Hungry (Homer), Drunky (Barney), Lenny, Kearney, Greedy (Mr. Burns), and Doctor Hibbert (whose name doesn't end in Y.)
** The Simpson kids are called Lisa, Maggie, and Bart (who has one syllable. His proper name, Bartholomew, has three syllables but either way he's still the only one without a two-syllable name).
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'':
** The Marsh family is made up of Stan, Shelley, Sharon and Randy. Possibly unintentional, since the latter three [[{{Tuckerization}} are named after]] [[Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone Trey Parker]]'s real family, and his real name is also "Randolph."
** When the male {{Goth}} Kids are [[GivenNameReveal finally named]] they turn out to be Michael (the tall one), Pete (the one with the red streak) and Firkle (the kindergartener). Well, we at least know why ''he'' took so long to reveal it...
* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'':
** "Dear Vikings" has several vikings named Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, [[PlanetOfSteves Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf,]] [[OverlyLongGag Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf, Olaf,]] and Gordon.
** In the episode "Ugh," set in prehistoric times, [=SpongeBob=]'s caveman ancestor is named "[=SpongeGar=]," Patrick's ancestor is named "Patar," and Squidward's ancestor is named.... Squog.
* ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'':
** Everyone in [[TheNapoleon Ludo]]'s family seems to have names that end in -udo except for his most important brother, [[AerithAndBob Dennis]].
** Most queens and princesses of Mewni are named after celestial phenomena, such as Star herself, Moon, Eclipsa, and Meteora. The one exception is Festiva, [[spoiler: who is eventually revealed to not be born from royalty.]]
* In ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'':
** The Crystal Gems are named Pearl, Garnet, Amethyst and Steven. For the record he's replacing his mother, who was named Rose Quartz, and "Quartz" also happens to be Steven's middle name. [[spoiler:He's also the only Diamond without "Diamond" anywhere in his name.]]
** Steven names each member of the [[QuirkyMinibossSquad Ruby Squad]] after the location of their [[HeartDrive Gem]] — [[ShellShockedVeteran Eyeball]], Army, Navy[[note]]Her stomach, where a human would have a ''navel''. This one confused Garnet.[[/note]], Leggy... but then the last, with her Gem on her chest, is "Doc", likely a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs''.
** The gems pose as humans and change their names accordingly. '''Ame'''thyst turns into Amy, P'''earl''' into ''Earl'', '''Sapphi'''re is ''Sophie'', and Lapis Lazuli is... ''Bob''.
** In the Hungarian dubbing, all of the Gem names are translated, but Jasper is inexplicably left in English. Strangely, when mentioning what kind of gem she is, they use the correct "jáspis". It's likely that the translator simply thought it was a human name, like Steven, and realized the error too late.
** The Brazilian dub translates Amethyst and Pearl's names, but keeps "Garnet". Possibly because it would translate to ''granada'', which also means "grenade", and that either wouldn't be a very appealing name or would obfuscate the intended meaning.
** Dr. Priyanka Maheswaran is the only member of her family to have an Indian given name, as her husband and daughter have western names and are respectively named Doug and Connie.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TazMania'', Molly's favourite band is The New Chips of the Block; Donnie, Ronnie, Lonnie, Film/BonnieAndClyde.
%%* Milli, Geo and Bot from ''WesternAnimation/TeamUmizoomi''. Take a wild guess about what they do.
* In ''[[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012]]'', the various mutants that crop up [[TheNicknamer get named by Mikey]] according to a physical trait or power. The names are Snakeweed, Spyder Bytez, Leatherhead, and... Justin, who is some sort of combination of octopus, electric eel, cobra, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and cat]], and gets named 'Justin' because Mikey couldn't think of a better name at the time. Later, he nicknames a pair of foes Bebop and Rocksteady, not due to their appearance or powers, but simply because he sees those words printed on the side of their van (but in a meta sense, because those are the names those characters had in [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the first cartoon]].)
* ''WesternAnimation/TheThreeLittlePigs'' are named Fifer, Fiddler, and Practical. The latter one's house is the only one that doesn't get blown down by TheBigBadWolf.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/TopWing'' episode "Chicks on the Loose", Cheep and Chirp are revealed to have cousins named Chickster, Chuckster, Chitter, Chatter, Clucky, and Bob.
* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'':
** The series has a case of this with the teams in ''World Tour'': [[IronicName Team Victory]], [[AmazonBrigade Team Amazon]] and [[OverlyLongName Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot]]. It was suggested by [[LoonyFan Sierra]] and readily accepted by Chris.
** In a cross-season example, ''World Tour'' is the only season where the teams aren't named [Adjective] [Nouns]; along with ''Action,'' they're also the only seasons where the teams aren't named after animals. ''Pahkitew'''s stand out for [[BilingualBonus being in Cree instead of English]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'': The three protagonists are named Sam (short for "Samantha"), Alex (short for "Alexadra") and Clover. "Clover" is the odd name in more ways than one:
** 1.) Clover's the only one to not go by a nickname.
** 2.) Clover's the only one to not have a TomboyishName, which seems rather fitting since she's the most feminine of the three.
** 3.) "Clover" (which is an actual name) is a pretty uncommon name compared to names like "Sam"/"Samantha" and "Alex"/"Alexandra."
* ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'':
** The Dinobots in ''Franchise/TransformersGeneration1'' are Snarl, Swoop, Slag, Sludge... and Grimlock. Not only is Grimlock the only one who doesn't have an "S" in his name, but he's the only one whose name is a made-up word. Of course, he's the leader of the pack and the most popular of them.
** The versions of the Dinobots that show up in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' and ''VideoGame/TransformersFallOfCybertron'' change things a little, but keep the same general pattern (minus the torso-coloration bit): In ''Animated'', Grimlock's team is just Swoop and Snarl, and in ''Fall of Cybertron'', Everyone's name is the same except Slag, who's called Slug in this version. But still, everyone starts with an S except Grimlock.
** Though their names [[NoNameGiven are never said in the film itself]], the ''[[Film/TransformersAgeOfExtinction Age of Extinction]]'' Dinobots also follow this trend. Grimlock is accompanied by Scorn, Slug, and Strafe. There's also Slash, who got cut from the movie, and Slog and Snarl, who were created for the toyline.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' features a pair of Autobot twins named Jetfire and Jetstorm, who can [[CombiningMecha combine]]. In so doing, however, they totally break the naming scheme by becoming ''Safeguard''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TransformersRescueBots'' has one that's either [[ViewersAreGeniuses an Easter egg for dedicated Transformers fans]] or a total coincidence. The Rescue Bots are Heatwave, Chase, Blades, and Boulder. Of the four, only Boulder does not reuse a name from an earlier "Transformers" series.
* ''ComicStrip/USAcres'': Unlike his brothers, Orson's name doesn't end in "-rt".
* The ''WesternAnimation/VBirds'' consist of Wow, Boom, Bling, and ...D:Lin.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wakfu}}'' has an in-universe example. It's the oddity of the man referring to [[ThirdPersonPerson himself]] as Grougaloragran that tips Nox off to the fact that he is actually one of the legendary dragons, because apparently only they used names like that.
* The five girls in the first season of ''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' are Stella with sun and moon powers, Flora with flower power, Musa with music power, Tecna with technology, and Bloom, with fire powers. The last one is the leading character.
* ''WesternAnimation/WorkItOutWombats'': Malik's name doesn't start with a 'Z,' unlike Zadie and Zeke. On the flip side, Zadie's name does not rhyme with Malik and Zeke.
* ''WesternAnimation/WowWowWubbzy'':
** The main characters are named Wubbzy, Widget, Walden, and Daizy (who first appeared in Season 2).
** Additionally three of Wubbzy’s other friends in the series who make recurring appearances together are named Huggy, Buggy, and Earl.
* ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'':
** Omi is the only one of the four monks with OnlyOneName. At the beginning of the episode "Omi Town" he laments about this. Justified, since he's the only one who doesn't know about his family.
** Jack Spicer might count, too. In a world full of exotic names, he's the only one with a common name like "Jack".
* Four thugs that were in an episode of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' were [[AllThereInTheManual named]] Hoody Boy, Git N Paid, Daddy Lidz, and [[http://jerome-k-moore.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3hkn0p Henry]]
