'''Basic Trope''': A business, location, species, etc., is named after a person, even if it doesn't logically seem like it.

* '''Straight''':
** The town of Troperville was founded by Teevee Troperville.
** Planet Troperia is named after Alice Troperia.
* '''Exaggerated''': Literally every location in the work is named after its founder, as silly as it may be.
* '''Subverted''': Turns out "Teevee Troperville" is actually his pen name, and his real name was Robert.
* '''Double Subverted''': Robert Troper, which makes slightly more sense.
* '''Enforced''': Either the writers couldn't come up with better names for the founders, or simply RuleOfFunny.
