Is there a trope for situations where a character's name has a variation that's usually a Paper-Thin Disguise fake name, a [[Those Two Guys best friend's name], the name used for an Expy or parody, an Evil Twin or the name of the Similar Squad equivalent?
The variations can be alternating the first and last names, using opposing words (Jack Black's opposite would be Jill White), rhyming words, similar name formation (Luke Skywalker would be Lars Groundflier), equivalent Pop Culture references or jokes, and so on?
