History PunnyName / WebOriginal

* [[JustForPun Quite a few article titles on]] Website/TVTropes.

* [[JustForPun Quite a few article titles on]] Wiki/TVTropes.

* In ''WebOriginal/{{Demesne}}'' the only other mammals besides humans are aquatic species known collectively as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fursh]]. The most common ones seen in the story are seels - they're like seals, but longer.

* ''WebVideo/SheriffDomestic'' has Dick Head, one of the main protagonists. While it is an UnfortunateName referring to the phallic shape of his head, "Dick" is an antiquated slang term for a detective. While Dick Head is more of a sheriff than a detective, they both correlate to law enforcement, and it could also refer to Dick Head being the "head" of law enforcement officials.

* Though only seen once, ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' continues the vegetable puns for the Saiyans that were established in the main series. In a flashback, it's shown that King Vegeta had a messenger named Butaraga.

* As Ninomae Ina'nis of ''WebAnimation/{{Hololive}} EN'' is a PungeonMaster of the highest degree[[note]]Heck, ''her own name'' could be considered a pun, as "inanis" is Latin for "empty", and "ninomae" could be interpreted as "ni no mae", Japanese for "before two". And what comes before two? One, as in "empty one". And considering that in her lore, Ina'nis is a TouchedByVorlons priestess of a pseudo-EldritchAbomination known as "The Ancient Ones"...[[/note]], it should come as little surprise that when [[WebAnimation/HololiveEnglishMythbreakers the girls played a tabletop RPG campaign together]], she named her character "Yuul B. Alwright". GameMaster Calliope Mori then decided to run with the joke by populating Ina'nis' tutorial session with characters with equally punny names, such as Yuul's friend Nitta Friend, the teacher/MadScientist Ail S. Stonishyu, and the cronically late Justin Time. [[LampshadedTrope Lampshaded]] when an NPC asked for Yuul's name.
-->'''Yuul:''' Ummm... Yuul B. Alwright\\
'''Victor:''' [[WhosOnFirst Yeah, I'll be fine, but what's your name?]]

* ''WebVideo/SheriffDomestic'' has Dick Head, one of the main protagonists. While it is an UnfortunateName referring to the phallic shape of his head, "Dick" is an antiquated slang term for a detective.

* Multiple characters in ''WebVideo/ScottTheWoz'' have punny names, such as the therapist Scott visited, Dr. Jerry Attricks[[note]]geriatrics[[/note]]; and the lawyer Scott went up against in "The Trial", Liza Lots[[note]]lies a lot[[/note]].

* The Website/JollyRogerTelephoneCompany is a web-based service which provides bots that are designed to waste the time of telemarketers and other unwanted callers. One of these is actually a pair of two bots, male and female, that are "biz-bots" to waste the time of cold callers to businesses. The female biz-bot is called "Polly Crackers," a play on the phrase "Polly want a cracker?" (The male bot is named simply "[[AerithAndBob Bob]].")

* ''WebVideo/KateModern'' features a character named Justin Credible.
* Creator/JossWhedon's ''WebVideo/DoctorHorriblesSingAlongBlog'' has a woman called Fury Leika on the Evil League [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment of Evil]], as named in the credits. As in, you know, [[WomanScorned that quote]].
* The ''Roleplay/LeagueOfIntergalacticCosmicChampions'' had an unkillable RedShirt named Scott Free & Quito Power was named because she was the key to power.
* Several of the shops from ''Website/GaiaOnline'' have punny names. "Sam's Body and Parts" and "Ruby's Rack" are two major examples.
* ''Roleplay/OpenBlue'' features a debaucherous, virgin-sacrifice-seeking pagan god named "Tototl", which is the Nahuatl word for "bird". Like the English word "bird", however, "Tototl" can also mean the "other" kind of "bird".
* The Huge Manatee from ''[[Literature/{{Zoofights}} Zoofights 3]]''.

* Every character in the short story ''[[http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2844064/1/Global_Spinning Global Spinning]]'' has a punny name, generally pertaining to their professional, from geologist Rocky Hill to anti-abortion activist [[GratuitousSpanish Concepcion Santos]] to banker Rich Buckhalter, among others.

* ''WebVideo/StuffYouLike'''s Sursum Ursa (Sursum-up, Ursa-bear. Her surname? Bearup.)
* [[http://sue-chan.com/art3/euphrates.jpg This]] piece of art references a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tigris–Euphrates_river_system pair of famous rivers]], by showing a ''[[CatGirl Tigress]]'' named ''Euphrates''.

-->'''Takada:''' How long have you been seeing Light?
-->'''Misa:''' I see lights all the time! There's like a billion of them on the [[spoiler: I'm Not Going To Take It Anymore...]] Day Tree!

* Though only seen once, ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' continues the vegetable puns for the Saiyans that were established in the main series. In a flashback, it's shown that King Vegeta had a messenger named Butaraga.
* Apparently you can't have a sports blog network without those. For proof, see [[http://www.sbnation.com/blogs SB Nation]] (the Chicago Bulls have "Blog a Bull", the Phoenix Coyotes "Five for Howling", and the Atlanta Falcons one is "The Falcoholic"), Creator/{{ESPN}}'s [[http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop True Hoop]] (Milwaukee Bucks: "Bucksketball", Detroit Pistons: "Piston Powered") and Magazine/SportsIllustrated's [[http://fansided.com/network/ Fansided]] (Cleveland Indians: "Wahoo’s on First", Pittsburgh Penguins: "Pens Labyrinth").
** Once, a franchise rename killed a pun: the Charlotte Bobcats one was "Rufus on Fire". Once the Bobcats returned to be the Hornets -- and {{Mascot}} Rufus T. Lynx was decommissioned in favor of old mascot Hugo the Hornet -- they became At The Hive, the name for the old New Orleans Hornets blog (renamed "The Bird Writes" once that team became the Pelicans). Of course [[http://www.rufusonfire.com/2014/5/20/5732636/reviving-at-the-hive the announcement had some punny suggestions]] by both the head blogger (Hugo's Boss, Southern Hosbeetality) and the commenters ("The Buzz Is Back In Town").
* ''WebVideo/SteamTrain'' covers computer games -- that is, UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} games.
* A subtle one would be [[http://akaichounokoe.deviantart.com/art/Killerbunny-III-Razelle-Anne-Serchendistroy-432646090 Razelle Anne Serchendistroy]], which would be a play on two phrases "Raise Hell" and "Search and Destroy".
* ''WebVideo/ManateeGirlTheMovie'' has main villain...The In Humanatee.
* ''Series/{{Noob}}'' has a few:
** A CaptainErsatz of [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]] with NoSenseOfDirection is named Jack Céparou, "Céparou" sounding both close to "Sparrow" and just like an informal way of saying "which way is it?" in the original French.
** A CelebrityStar that decides to play an archer takes the OnlineAlias of Grobin Des Doigts, which is a play on "Robin Des Bois", the French name of Myth/RobinHood.
** The creator of ''AudioPlay/RefletsDAcide'', known as "JBX", plays a character named Jibedix for a few episodes. "Jibedix" sounds like JB-10 [[note]] X is 10 in roman numerals [[/note]] in French.
* [[JustForPun Quite a few article titles on]] Wiki/TVTropes.

* The [[http://starwars.wikia.com Star Wars Wiki]] was inevitably nicknamed "Wookieepedia". Likewise, the [[http://lego.wikia.com Lego Wiki]] is "Brickipedia".
* An [[http://www.agonybooth.com/video1403_Perverted_Stories_34_Pterodactyl_Dinosaur_Spermo_Plasmoids.aspx episode]] of [[Website/TheAgonyBooth Mr. Mendo's Hack Attack]] claimed the director the infamous [[RuleThirtyFour Pterodactyl Dinosaur Spermo Plasmoids]] was named "Dean O'file" (dino-phile).
* Princess Script/MayXnocens (makes no sense, referring to the plot) as well as Rhett October, who is introduced while other characters are looking for him.
* [[WebVideo/{{Sidemen}} Sideman]] Tobi Brown goes by the alias of "Tobi Lerone", based off the chocolate bar, Toblerone.
* The RecurringCharacter Erwe Von Esse from ''[[Blog/ElChiguireBipolar El Chigüire Bipolar]]'', roughly meaning 'that prat' in Spanish.

* During one of ''[[WebVideo/TheAnnotatedSeries The Annotation Station]]'''s riffs, one annotator replaced somebody's punny name with "Stu P. Idpun".
