The first letter may or may not be capitalized depending on the context. (In the case of Wiki Words on TV Tropes, the first letter generally is.) This style of writing seems especially popular in the future.

AnimeAndManga

• Digimon uses this style for species derivatives.
• The title of InuYasha is usually written this way in English. The character's name is usually written as Inuyasha.

Literature

• Used in literature occasionally to show a character is a Motor Mouth (as in, "doesn't bother to breathe" fast.) A character in the Animorphs book series, who was something of an ethereal being who didn't so much "speak" as "telepathically slam his thoughts into your brain," had his dialogue rendered this way.

LiveActionTV

• The short-lived series FreakyLinks has its title spelled like this.
• The BBC's flagship soap opera is styled as EastEnders.

Music

• "VeryVery" by Momoland. Fitting for how those words are sung quickly in the chorus.

    • G-League: Erie BayHawks (defunct).
  • Minor league baseball:
    • Triple-A: Lehigh Valley IronPigs, Scranton/Wilkes-Barrre RailRiders

    • RedStorm: Rio Grande, an NAIA school in Ohio.^note Though a Non-Indicative Name to most of the country, justified since the school is in a town called Rio Grande. It's pronounced "RYE-oh Grand", not like the famous southwestern river.

• BattleTech (and its attendant spinoffs such as MechWarrior and MechCommander) have their second word capitalized, as they are technically contracted compound nouns ("Battlefield Technology" for instance).
  • This also applies to the Humongous Mecha themselves, rendered as "BattleMech" or "OmniMech" for combat units. Civilian types will have their purpose followed by the word "Mech" as names, such as MiningMech or SecurityMech.
  • Some specific 'Mech models have this in their name as well, most notably the UrbanMech and the JagerMech.

Toys

• The name of the Giga Pets virtual pet toy series became GigaPets, with no space in-between the words, when it got rebooted in 2018.

• While Transformers is largely rendered as one word these days, some older logos render the title as TransFormers, such as the general brand logo◊ used during the early 2000's.

VideoGames

• Tends to be a theme in Mega Man Battle Network, with each Navi being basically SomethingMan.EXE, although somewhat justified due to all the characters being computer programs, and back when it was released, spaces were fairly uncommon in file names. It does also crop in up in names of areas due to Capcom having an obsession in some games with 8 letter character limits for just about everything, resulting in things like TownArea.
• Sony's PlayStation line of products is named this way, as is the Nintendo GameCube.
  • Similarly, the Wii U GamePad, which is that console's main controller.
• In Star Fox Adventures, the names of the various tribes are written this way.

• Queen From Deltarune Talks With A Variation Of This In That She Capitalizes Every Word But Still Properly Uses Spaces Which Is Why It's A Variation She Also Leaves Out Most Punctuation From Her Sentences Except When: She's Trying To Propose A Choice Or Provide Clarification (In Layman's Terms) It Can Be Interpreted As A Form Of Robo Speak Such As Either: A Machine Monotone Or: Pronouncing Every Word As Its Own Sentence (Phrase)
• Final Fantasy: Enemy names are contracted this way in the NES version, but with the second word in all caps. For example, "War Mech" gets contracted to "WarMECH".

• Used for Twitter hashtags containing multiple words (e.g. #TVTropes).

• SpongeBob SquarePants's name is written this way. A lot of people—including many tropers on This Very Wiki—forget that this is the case and usually write it as "Spongebob Squarepants".

RealLife

• Camel case is the standard when it comes to naming variables and functions in JavaScript, whose name also demonstrates it.
• Some people's names have these, especially if they begin with "Le" or "De", e.g. LeVar Burton or Danny DeVito. Particularly common for people of Irish and Scottish origin with a "Mc" or "Mac" name: see, e.g., McDonald's, William McKinley, John McCain, Douglas MacArthur, Ramsay Mac Donald...
• Latin script transcription of Hebrew often uses it when a title includes a noun that begins with a definite article, the prepositions "to", "as", "-ly", "in" and "from", and "and", as they are written as part of the word in the respective writing systems they use: שיר (shir) is "song", השיר (hashir) - ‘the song’. So the Hebrew name of the Song of Songs would usually be Shir haShirim. Other systems might use ha-Shirim instead; this convention is usually used for Arabic (e.g. Al-Qur'an and not AlQur'an).
• Also used for some African languages, e.g., kwaZulu and kiKongo.
• Used by corporations when two or more predecessor companies are merged into one new one (as well as to create something trademarkable.)
• May overlap with Portmanteau Couple Name, Portmantitle, especially when the name comes from the first syllable of each person's name (TomKat), as opposed to merely blending them (Bennifer).
• DreamWorks SKG and former subsidiary DreamWorks Animation are made this way.
• Former Disney animation subsidiary Disneytoon Studios began as "Disney MovieToons", while their final name was commonly stylized as "DisneyToon Studios".
• Used in programming as one style for defining multi-word variables.
  • This is actually useful so you can give a succinct idea of what said variable is supposed to do, instead of having to write lengthy comments about them in the function in which they're being used.
  • In other languages, such as LISP, the preferred convention is caravan-case, as LISP does not use infix syntax (thus freeing the hyphen), and caravan-case is generally seen as easier to read
  • For those less familiar with the limitations of programming grammars, it's mainly because usually you can't have a space in a variable name.
  • Some contexts make a distinction between Pascal Case (initial letter uppercase) and Camel Case (initial letter lowercase). E.g., in C# the standard style is for method and property names to be PascalCase, while variable names use camelCase.
