Alliterative Names in Webcomics.


  • Angel Moxie: Riley Rosenbaum.
  • The Luminary of Light and the Director of Darkness from Apricot Cookie(s)!.
  • Everybody in Body World: Professor Paul Panther (though Peter Panther might suit him better), Pearl Peach, Lucy Lucido, Billy Borg, Gem Jewels, Johnny James (AKA Johnny Scarhead) and probably everyone else in Boney Borough.
  • Taken to the maximum with The Cartoon Chronicles of Conroy Cat.
  • Comedity: Discussed in ''issue Origins #0, with Garth Graham and Larom Lancaster. The main characters decide that, since they have alliterative names, this is an invitation to become superheroes.
  • Occurs occasionally in The Cyantian Chronicles with "Alpha Akaelae", which an inherited title as well as the name of the original/first Alpha Akaelae. Considering that the Akaelaes are a family of anthropomorphic wolves who rule a society of anthro wolves, using "Alpha" as a title makes a lot of sense.
  • In El Goonish Shive, there's Arthur J. Arthur. The writer joked that he likes to think the "J" stands for "Just". "As in Arthur. Just Arthur."
  • Quite a few in Everyday Heroes.
    • Mister Mighty's real name is Marion Mighty; his brothers are Michael Mighty and Morrison Mighty; his sisters are Marilyn and Monroe Mighty (the latter having no superpowers... "Mighty" is actually the family surname).

  • Kaiten Mutenmaru: Sick Solitude.
  • In Kevin & Kell, many examples have given names chosen to match their species-related surnames, such as Fenton Fuscus, Fiona Fennec and Tammy Tussock. Corrie was once known as "Dale Dewclaw" after reversing her given and family names while disguising herself as a wolf (an alias she was forced to keep up longer than she intended), and taking on Ralph's family name after she discovered that she was his daughter, but switched to "Corrie Dewclaw" after her friends found out she wasn't a wolf.
