History Sandbox / SesquipedalianSmithWickCheck

# Characters.MightyMorphinPowerRangersRangers: Helps seal the idea that she's the "hot popular girl", especially after becoming class president Kimberly Hart in one episode.

# Sandbox.CharactersISS600FiveNightsAtFreddys: Evangélion Fox.

# Wrestling.BrianHildebrand: Inverted with his real name.
# UsefulNotes.JapanesePronouns: Tanaka Yuubiseiharukana prefers to shorten her name to "Yuu"/"You", and everyone addresses her as that. She even lampshades it in her introduction: "I am You!"
# QuoteSource.LiveActionFilmsAToL: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade Ancient Order of Protectors Disappeared Dad It Belongs in a Museum Leap of Faith Plot-Triggering Book SesquipedalianSmith Universal Driver's License
# TropesThatWillNeverHappen.XMeetsYEntriesOToS: Sesquipedalian Smith Hates Your Guts Richard Marx Hates Your Guts
# VideoGame.MysteryTrackers: The Brown family members all have lengthy first names to go with their very common surname.
# ReferencedBy.GoLion: When the Voltron Force forms Voltron and shouts, "Let's go, Voltron!" or "Let's go, Voltron Force!", they're actually matching the GoLion Team shout of "Let's GoLion!" Keith's name might be a reference to how he's nicknamed "Chief (Chifu)" in GoLion. Although it's retroactive, Keith is named "Keith Akira Kogane" and Hunk is named "Tsuyoshi Garrett" in comics and sequels of Voltron (Lion Force), which reference the original names of their counterparts in GoLion. Raible (referencing The Bible) is renamed Coran (referencing The Qur'an) in Voltron, thus somewhat preserving the reference.
# Film.HorribleBosses: Motherfucker Jones.
# Sandbox.WickCheckProject: Check for ZCE and any examples overlapping with Awesome McCoolname.

# PlayingWith.SesquipedalianSmith: Edit Page
# Laconic.SesquipedalianSmith: Edit Page

# Characters.IndianaJones: The Trope Codifier. His impressive first name, Indiana, contrasts his mundane surname, Jones.
# Series.MightyMorphinPowerRangers: Kimberly Ann Hart. Helps seal the idea that she's the "hot popular girl," especially after becoming class president Kimberly Hart in one episode.
# Creator.ElleMacPherson: Played straight, then inverted. She was born Eleanor Gow. Her parents divorced when she was a teenager and her mother married a man named MacPherson. Elle took the new surname and balanced it out by shortening her first name.
# Characters.BackyardSports: Her first name, Jocinda, is decidedly uncommon, especially compared to her last name, Smith.
# Characters.{{Aveyond}}: Invokes this in her introduction, where she tells the party to call her "Elini".
# Characters.{{Wakfu}}: Sesquipedalian Smisse

# RealAfterAll.WesternAnimation: In "One Krab's Trash", Mr. Krabs makes up a story about how the soda drink hat he sold to SpongeBob is cursed to scare it off of him as he found out it's worth a lot of money. He claims it belonged to someone named Smitty WarbenJagerManJensen. It turns out that the story he made up on the spot is true.
# Literature.EncyclopediaBrown: "Encyclopedia" Brown. Somewhat subverted in that it's a nickname; his real name is Leroy, but only his parents and teachers call him that.
# GetAStupidAnswer.LiveActionFilms: What does the S stand for? Smile! Sweet! Sister! Sadistic! Surprise! Service! Sesquipedalian. Sexy. Don't know, but it's better than A.A is for ass! Doesn't matter, Uncle Ben; P Rank is better than both of them. Because it can't sit down. The S is for "sucks". Steamed Hams; that's what Superman calls hamburgers. It's a regional dialect. Really? Well, I'm from Metropolis and I've never heard anyone use the phrase "steamed hams." Oh, not in Metropolis. No, it's a Smallville expression. S for "Suck my dick, Infinite!" The S stands for "silly" now. I'm Sillyman. Shiny! Like a treasure from a sunken pirate wreck... For... sitter. Yeah, sitter. Originally, I was gonna have initials for "babysitter", but then I would've been going around wearing a big BS, and you can understand why I couldn't go with that. S for "Spongebob", or S for "Sandy"! That way they can identify our bodies! No silly! How about S for "Save our skins"! "Shit". Sus. Sloth! Me am SUPERMAN!
# Characters.LittleWitchAcademiaOtherCharacters: A-nna-bel Crème. Notable because the name itself is a pseudonym, so the naming convention may have been chosen to make it catchier.

# IThoughtItMeant.AToC: AmbiguouslyBrown: Ambiguously Brown should not be confused with SesquipedalianSmith.Nor Encyclopedia Brown. Or Doc Brown being ambiguous. Nor is it someone who might be a member of the Brown family. Nor is it something/somebody who/that might be brown but it's never said so.
# Characters.CrossingJordan: Inverted. Dr. Mahesh Vijayaraghavensatyanaryanamurthy. Even his name tag is shortened to Dr V.R.S.Murthy.
# Characters.MediochreQSethSeries: Sesquipedalian Smith
# Characters.ClearSkies: Tarquin Smith.

# Characters.ZettaiHeroProject: His original Japanese name was Darkdeath Tanaka.
# Film.SevenWaysFromSundown: Seven's full names is 'Seven Ways From Sundown' Jones.

# Characters.StarWarsBountyHuntersAndMercenariesNewRepublicEra: Carasynthia Dune. Her full name is rarely mentioned, with most people calling her by her last name, or Cara for short.
# Funny.AvatarTheLastAirbenderBookOne: Aang's ridiculously long pseudonym, which Katara is amazingly proficient at ad-libbing and Bumi somehow remembers perfectly.
# ShoutOut.{{Voltron}}: Hunk's retroactive real name, in turn, is "Tsuyoshi Garrett", with "Tsuyoshi (Seido)" being his GoLion counterpart's name.
# Characters.CormoranStrikeNovels: "Cormoran Strike".
# Characters.PacificRimHumans: Invoked — he named himself after his favorite historical figure (Hannibal) and his second favorite Chinese restaurant (the otherwise unremarkable name Chau). The result is the very catchy name "Hannibal Chau".
# Characters.Ever17: Her first name is seven syllabes long.
# Webcomic.NuzlockeComicsFanWorks: To save time getting into and through the Radio Tower when Team Rocket takes over, Mike sends Solenoid on ahead to get him a Team Rocket uniform. However, he wasn't specific enough, leading to...Disguised in Drag: ...Because the first outfit Solenoid found belonged to a female Rocket grunt, which Mike only realised when he has to sign in at the desk, leading to... Cover Identity Anomaly: When he doesn't know the name of the grunt whose outfit it is, and has to check on an ID card - which says 'Becky Smith'. He tries to pass it off as being a Fauxreigner, saying first "It's short for... Beckisander" and then "It's pronounced Beikai. Beikaisander... Smith." The desk-grunt waves him through on a "the chances of it being fake aren't worth the hassle if it's genuine" policy. He then encounters the real Becky Smith upstairs recovering, at which point his cover is blown anyway. Basically, this whole sequence runs on the Rule of Funny like cars run on petrol.
# AlliterativeName.TropesSToZ: Sesquipedalian Smith
# ComicBook.{{Orphanimo}}: Inverted: Grimelda Atamutanmutamor
# Characters.PsychonautsTheRealWorld: Inverted, befitting of a down-to-earth Nice Guy who's content considering himself to be pretty unassuming despite his impressive-sounding lineage.
# Literature.DalzielAndPascoe: DC Ethelbert "Hat" Bowler, who definitely thinks he has an Embarrassing First Name.
# Characters.KamiKatsuWorkingForGodInAGodlessWorld: Atar gives Bertrand's full name as "Enlilter Liesheid Bertrand". In the isolation village, she effectively has Only One Name just like most of the others.
# Literature.MrsDalloway: Septimus Smith. Woolf even lampshades this trope: London has swallowed up many millions of young men called Smith; thought nothing of fantastic Christian names like Septimus with which their parents have thought to distinguish them.
# Recap.YutakasBigFatYoukaiWedding: Keine Kamishirasawa's name is lampshaded by Marisa, calling her Keine Kami-whatsimacallit.
# Literature.TheThreeInvestigators: Jupiter Jones
# Characters.DodgeballATrueUnderdogStory: Inverted. Short first name, long last name.
# Recap.GrimoireOfDawitsu: Dawitsu lampshades Keine Kamishirasawa's incredibly long name by saying, 'Boy, that's a mouthful...'. He also has trouble saying Shikieiki Yamaxanadu and Toyosatomimi no Miko's names too.
# Recap.TinyToonAdventuresS3E1Thirteensomething: Inverted. Babs Bunawalskioversmith.
# AvatarTheLastAirbender.TropesQToZ: In "The King of Omashu", while disguised as an old man, Aang identifies himself as "Bonzu Pipinpadaloxicopolis III", and says that Katara and Sokka are his grandkids. Katara then immediately says her name is "June Pipinpadaloxicopolis". Somehow, she manages to pronounce the name exactly the same way, as does the king.
# Film.TheGiantGilaMonster: Horatio Alger "Steamroller" Smith, the DJ.
# Characters.{{Bratz}}: Sharidan Jones.
# Literature.TheCuckoosCalling: "Cormoran Strike".
# Film.OsmosisJones: Osmosis Jones.
# Franchise.IndianaJones: Indiana Jones.
# Sandbox.DoesThisRemindYouOfAnythingSandbox: To make a point about perspective in Ever17, You (which is, incidentally, not a second-person pronoun, but a nickname for the character's incredibly long given name) has Kid try to put a pen back in its cap with one eye closed. This is made all the more amusing by the pair's Unresolved Sexual Tension, along with You being a two years older.To anyone listening to the conversation but not actually seeing what they're doing, it sounds exactly like a porn movie. You is probably aware of that. This trope is exactly what the authors were aiming for in that scene; the things those two say in that scene are right out of a hentai. Which is a bit ironic considering this is one of those visual novels without any actual H scene. In a different scene near the beginning of Kid/Coco's route, You attempts to make Kid laugh off his amnesia. If you refuse to do so, she'll resort to... sticking her finger up Sara's nose. Sara proceeds to moan sensually as "she and her senpai become one."
# Film.MrSmithGoesToWashington: Jefferson Smith
# WesternAnimation.LongHairedHare: "Giovanni Jones"
# Characters.TransformersAnimatedHumans: His first name Prometheus is rather sophisticated when compared to his mundane surname of Black.
# Characters.RiseOfTheRocketsMajorAntagonists: Sesquipedalian Smith

# WesternAnimation.TransformersAnimated: Prometheus Black. His first name is rather sophisticated when compared to his more mundane surname.
# Literature.KittyNorville: Elijah Smith, faith healer and fey.
# Series.InspectorMorse: Endeavour Morse himself.
# JustForFun.TVTropesAdditionalHeroVowsPodB: I shall adopt a plain and mundane name, such as Bob, or Alice, or something just as common. Those with an Awesome McCoolname, like The Destroyer, tend to last two seconds in a fight. Those with boring names, they can take out entire armies. A combination of names is also not unheard of.
# Music.SufjanStevens: Sufjan himself. And he has a brother named Marzuki Stevens and sisters named Djohariah Stevens and Djamilah Stevens.... as well as siblings named Colin and Megan.
# Characters.BalancingMySupportMagicAndSummoningMagicInADifferentWorld: Rirandarukarakumuru Ra Furamusa is quite the mouthful.
# Literature.NorthwestSmith: Northwest Smith.

# Fanfic.{{Freudian}}: The police gave Rapunzel a very mundane surname, although it's implied that "Rapunzel" is not the name her parents have given her, either. It's lampshaded by Flynn: Flynn: Rapunzel Smith? That's quite a contrast in names there.
# Creator.IrinaShayk: Inverted with her full name.
# VideoGame.DetectivesUnited: Anastasia Smith, the flower seller, as well as the Brown twins Mortimer and Dorian.
# Music.JohnMellencamp: Inverted, and how.
# VideoGame.GrimTales: Although Anna Gray averts the trope herself, many of the names on her family tree qualify for it. This includes her mother, Anastasia Gray; her great-grandfather, Alister Gray; and her husband, Dorian Gray. Dorian gets bonus points for originally having been Dorian Black, meaning he fit the trope twice. (He took his wife's name when they married.)
# Characters.ArchipelagoExodusDrakengrad: Inverted. And Davra Surhamgiak is actually his title.

# Wrestling.YoshihiroTajiri: To Japanese readers anyway
