Trope Repair Shop: Multi-Ethnic Name
2nd Nov '23 4:31:09 AM

Crown Description:

Multi Ethnic Name describes itself as about "characters whose names are a flagrant mismatch of ethnicities and cultures". However as the description admits there are a ton of perfectly normal reasons why someone might have a multi-ethnic name in real life (mixed ancestry, intercultural marriage, immigration, adoption, colonization, religious influence, general globalization et cetera) and having one doesn't indicate anything specific about the character. 58% of the wicks just describe the origins of the character's names without any additional relevance. While this is almost certainly an intentional choice by the writer, and some cultures/settings are more homogeneous than others resulting in such names being more notable, sans any other such context, it's just a list of names. What should be done with Multi Ethnic Name?
