| 288 | ** ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'', a crossover fic with ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'', gives him the name "Shigaraki Rikitasu", meaning "A multitude of splendid powers of death", referencing his numerous Quirks all tied to being a PuppeteerParasite and a CardCarryingVillain. |

| 306 | [[AC:''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'']] |
| 307 | * Because Catarina's past life has never been given a name in the canon, different fanfiction for this work gives her an actual name out of necessity. |

| 311 | ** This trend is averted in ''Fanfic/FortuneLoverTGSBetaSaruRipTPlusEng0Point75SincereDotZip'', where she is simply known as Saru-chan; "Saru" is Japanese for "Monkey" and thus a translation of her canonical [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nickname]]: "the Monkey Girl". |

Fans in Japan once used the name Kimiko (a pun on "kimi" also meaning "you"), but it has largely fallen out in favor of the other two. |

| 380 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonClefairyTales'' takes WordOfSaintPaul regarding Brock's surname (Harrison, according to Creator/EricStuart, his English voice actor) and runs with it. The existing {{fanon}} for Misty's surname and Lt. Surge's given name (respectively, Waterflower and Mathias) was also applied here. The series also gives Erika's and Sabrina's respective surnames as [=LaFleur=] (in keeping with Erika's GreenThumb thematic) and D'Avalon ([[ShownTheirWork inspired by Sabrina's French name]], [[GeniusBonus derived from a certain Arthurian character]], "Dee-AH-va-LAWN"). |
| 381 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonResetBloodlines'' and several of [[ExpandedUniverse its tie-in oneshots]] have done this to several characters: |
| 382 | ** Characters such as Kanto Champion Lance, Elite Four member Flint and Frontier Brain Noland are given their respective Japanese names as surnames. |

| 388 | * ''Webcomic/TeamRocketRoots'' gives Miyamoto a DubNameChange by shortening her name to "Miya". Miyamoto has no official English name because her only appearance is in a Japanese-only radio drama. |
| 389 | * "Ellen" is the name the unused female lead of ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue'' assumes in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8133320/1/Unwilling-Service-Ellen-s-Quest Unwilling Service]]'', and the male lead of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]'' assumed the name [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8870021/1/Unwilling-Service-Jamie-s-Quest Jamie]][[labelnote:*]]Both the name and the story itself were conceived before ''[=HeartGold and SoulSilver=] were ever announced and named him Ethan.''[[/labelnote]]before eventually having it reverted to [[Anime/TheLegendOfThunder Jimmy]]. '''(NSFW)''' |
| 390 | * Similar to the ''Gym Leader Wiki'' example above, several characters in ''Fanfic/LegendsCollideAlolasHouseOfChampions'' are given surnames. |
| 391 | ** Red and Leaf are depicted as siblings and given the surname "Yamaguchi", as a reference to an unused default name from the original ''VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue''. The author mentions in another fic that this is due to "Yamaguchi" meaning "mountain entrance", which reminded him of Red's climactic battle on Mount Silver. |
| 392 | ** Some of the player characters have their surnames referencing the games they're from: Ethan ''[[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver Gold]]'', Dawn ''[[VideoGame/PokemonDiamondAndPearl Diamond]]'' and Lucas ''Pearl'', Touya ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Black]]'', Rosa ''[[VideoGame/PokemonBlack2AndWhite2 White]]'' etc. Nora ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield Armour]]'' fits the pattern as well, albeit more in spirit. |
| 393 | ** Calem's surname is given as "Reyes", due to the author headcanoning him as Filipino (or the Pokémon equivalent thereof) and Reyes having a "Y" in it (as in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Pokémon Y]]''). |
| 394 | ** Yuki's surname is "Miyamoto", the same as his mother [[spoiler:Jessie]]. |
| 395 | ** Some of the other Champions have surnames like that as well; Lance's is "Amachi", Cynthia's is "Hart" and Wallace's is "Stone" (since he's HappilyMarried to Steven Stone in this fic). |

| 410 | |
| 411 | [[AC:''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'']] |
| 412 | * There was one ''Manga/RanmaOneHalf'' fanfic whose name is currently lost to the deep recesses of the Internet, that gave a name to the otherwise nameless PosthumousCharacter of Mrs. Tendou, Sou'un Tendou's wife and mother to Akane, Nabiki, and Kasumi Tendou. That name, "Kimiko Tendou", somehow managed to be elevated to {{fanon}} status, where a huge portion of the fandom genuinely believes it to be her '''official''' name. |

| 424 | * In most ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'' fanworks involving Weiss Schnee's mother[[note]]before her name was officially revealed as such in Volume 7[[/note]], she was usually given the name "Willow" before the name was canonized. One exception to this is ''Fanfic/RWBYZero'', where she is named "Crystal" instead. |
| 425 | |
| 426 | [[AC:''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'']] |
| 427 | * In ''Fanfic/{{Purple|SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower}}'', Wrong Hordak took on the nickname the fandom gave him "Kadroh" ([[SdrawkcabName which is just "Hordak" spelled backwards]]). |
