Correct:
- Covert Group with Mundane Front: Mentioned as an overlapping trope, involving the group having a mundane name.
- Disguised in Drag: Potholed as the name of a character, "Alan" the Vampire Baby.
- Mr. Smith: Mentioned as a subversion of the trope.
- People Zoo: Potholed in the Steven Universe example for "The Zoo".
- Odd Name Out: Potholed in a Doctor Who example for "Scared Bob"
- Super-Fun Happy Thing of Doom: Used in the "Compare to" list
- Tom the Dark Lord: Cited as the Super Trope
- Trouble Entendre: Used as a contrast trope
- Tropes I to P: Villains have simple names.
- Characters.Disco Elysium: Potholed in a Government Agency of Fiction example, where "EPIS" apparently is mundane. I'm not sure this is true, but it's attempting to use the trope correctly either way.
- Characters.The Man In The High Castle Series Main Characters: "Obergruppenführer John Smith"; though context-light, it's referring to an SS Officer with a boring name.
- Characters.You Only Live Twice: Used to discuss the character of "Tanaka", a very normal name in Japan, who is also a chief of intelligence. Somewhat downplayed.
- Fanfic.Kintsukuroi: " Registration Act 619 is a rather plain name for the horrors it hides."
- FluffyTheTerrible.Real Life: Okay, the example itself is general, political, and seems to be misuse as it's just talking about non-indicative names for military stuff, but the actual Ominous Mundanity pothole is used correctly to imply something dark behind a mundane-named organization.
- Recap.Person Of Interest S 01 E 22: " Intelligence Support Activity, the military black ops unit hunting Peck."
- Recap.Steven Universe S 1 E 40 On The Run: Used to describe "The Kindergarten", where gems are grown.
- VideoGame.Backdoor: Used to describe "The Treatment"
- VideoGame.Mutant Year Zero Road To Eden: Used to describe "The Zone", with an explanation of why it's bad.
- VideoGame.The New Order Last Days Of Europe: "The "Burgundian System" is a mundane and euphemistic name for an unimaginably extreme form of totalitarianism which effectively turns all of society into a massive concentration camp."
Incorrect:
- Characters.SCP Foundation Groups: Used to discuss the mundane packages on "Factory" products that have nasty side-effects; not about a title.
- PlayingWith.I Just Want To Be Beautiful: Used as a pothole to describe "Day-to-day realities"
- VideoGame.Silent Hills: Used to describe an "ordinary home" being the location of the trailer.
ZCE:
- AwesomeMcCoolName.Video Games: Apparently, it can be "bestowed upon" thanks to a random name generator in RuneScape, but no other details are given.
- Characters.Everything Gaiden gives us "her name"
- Characters.Steven Universe Homeworld Gems: Discusses the uncreative names used by Homeworld- without explaining why it's ominous.
- Characters.The X Files: "Most of their (the syndicate's) titles"- no explanation of why they're boring or ominous.
- Film.Se7en: "John Doe"
- Series.Criminal Minds: "Some episode titles, like "Mosley Lane", "Hanley Waters" and so on."
- VideoGame.Tooth And Tail: Used to describe "The Kitchen", the KSR base- a ZCE since they don't explain who the KSR are.
Other:
- Mundanity Tropes
- Naming Conventions
- VideoGame.Control: A bit all-over-the-place; it's used to describe things like guns to Bigger on the Inside bases to a "psychic extra-dimensional inverted black pyramid", unsure if these examples really fit the spirit of the trope or not.
- YMMV.Starset: "The booklets accompany songs at times lends an alternate interpretation or meaning to the song. For instance Transmissions features among its art a logo for the Department of Civil Vigilance and Recovery turns into Carni Vo Re into a coded Take That! or a hint at their darker nature." Simply unsure what this example is trying to say.
