This troper is thinking of creating a fanime, a sequel of sorts to Sailor Moon, inspired by the original [=DiC=] pitch reel and her own crazy imagination. It's called Sailor Shadow, and I'm planning to give the characters {{Punny Name}}s (sometimes last names, sometimes both first and last) both in Japanese ''and'' English. Here is the list: #QUOTE# Yomi Kageno #QUOTE# Dana Tucker (Sailor Shadow) (not really much of a punny last name unless you really ''really'' '''''really''''' think about it) #QUOTE# Ikuko Mizuno #QUOTE# Sapphire Waters (Sailor Sapphire) (''waaaaaaaay'' too obvious, I know, but I wasn't going to use '''Blue''', for *honk*'s sake! And yes, [=DiC=] were planning to rename Ami-chan "'''''Blue'''''". Thank God they eventually went with "Amy"!) #QUOTE# Tsukasa Hino #QUOTE# Victoria Day (Sailor Sun) (I don't care if there's already a webcomic and a fic, I'm having my Sailor Sun and using her! ...That Came Out Horribly Wrong.) #QUOTE# Emiko Barano #QUOTE# Amy Rose (Sailor Wild Rose) (random, I know) #QUOTE# Kitana Barano #QUOTE# Sarah Rose (Sailor Black Rose) (and yes, the two are sisters. NonIdenticalTwins, in fact.) #QUOTE# Mikuru Kino #QUOTE# Carrie Underwood (SailorEarth) #QUOTE# Kairi Kazeno #QUOTE# Bella Breeze (Sailor Cyclone) (don't ask about the dub surname, 'twas all I could come up with, I swear! J-Just wait until you see the English last names of Sailors Winter, Spring and Sunset, then you'll ''know'' I was just randomly making *honk* up!) #QUOTE# Saya Hoshino #QUOTE# Jade Starr (Sailor Charon) #QUOTE# Aiko Aino #QUOTE# Charlotte Valentine (Sailor Heart) (I-I-I'll make up some useful attacks for her, I swear! S-She'll be as good as, if not better than, Sailor Venus! HEART IS AN AWESOME POWER!!!!) #QUOTE# Rena Kageno #QUOTE# Nina Tucker (Sailor Chibi Shadow) (this time around, she's the main character's younger sister instead of her daughter from the future, and I will try to make her as likable for international audiences as I possibly can) #QUOTE# Fumiko Nichibotsu #QUOTE# Zoe Dusk (Sailor Sunset) (she is not of my own creation, my friend Bella made her up one night over the phone [she lives all the way over in Melbourne, Victoria while I'm stuck here in dreary old Tasmania]. I just created the English and Japanese civilian names.) #QUOTE# Chiaki Kaioh #QUOTE# Eve Fisher (Sailor Ocean) (Bella made this one, too, and I provided the names) #QUOTE# Mayumi Yūgure #QUOTE# Ebony White (Sailor Twilight) (see above - oh, and think carefully about the name "Ebony White") #QUOTE# Setsuka Fuyuno #QUOTE# Crystal Snowflake (Sailor Winter) #QUOTE# Yuna Akino #QUOTE# Ruby Oak (Sailor Autumn) #QUOTE# Mimi Natsuno #QUOTE# Maya Summers (Sailor Summer) #QUOTE# Sakura Haruno #QUOTE# Lily Blossom (Sailor Spring) (''whew!'')

This troper lives on the reservation, and old native names that were acceptable back in the day, are now puns, even when it comes to playing games like Halo. When Eric Takes-The-Gun and Jonathan Shoots Face decide to play, the game fixates solely upon them.

This troper has a classmate named "Mike Hunt." Saying it really fast.. Well, needless to say somebody picked up on it and Mike soon became the butt of many jokes.

One of This Troper's many {{One Piece}} OCs is Phil Fee Oldman. Yes, he is a perverted old man.

This troper's Kuei-jin girl from the ''Vampire: The Masquerade'' is named "張史;", or "Zhang Shi". It can be literally translated as "unfolding history".

This troper has a character in CityOfHeroes called Markov the Beast. Depressingly few people seem to get it.

This troper's character "Certainlynot Analien" in City of Villains was fairly regularly missed.

When filing old repair reports for a car shop, as this troper did in high school, you take fun where you can get it, and punny names in the files are often where you get it. My favorite is still "Robyn Banks."

Robin Banks is actually the name of the narrator of ''{{Mythbusters}}'' in the UK.

Bernie Madoff. He is man who swindled many investors in Wall Street out of '''billions''' of dollars. My professor made a pun on his last name, where she said that Bernie "Madoff" (pronounced made-off) with people's money.

And, of course, '''Burn'''ie.

This troper makes way too many characters with punny names. Quello Nonmaika (a guy who runs a sex toy shop whose name means 'that's not a banana') is just one.

People at MSN call me Alien, because my name is just a two letters switch of being it, so, I guess it counts... Acting alien to the society standards doesn't help, either. Drop me a line?

This troper makes a point of doing a write-in vote for "Hugh Jarsole" for any election where he doesn't care about the results.

In this troper's high school, there is a boy with the unfortunate name of Richard "Dick" Long.

This troper's real name? Raymond A. His online handle? '''Ray''' '''A'''yanami.

What about Ray Anonymous?

... how are either of those puns?

The first one is a combo PunnyName & Bilingual Bonus. The name Rei, as in Rei Ayananmi is pronounced Ray by English speakers.

This troper has a character who lives with five other people. Her name is Roxanne. She's rather baffled as to why one of her neighbors keeps calling her "Six." Figure it out.

And has since created a character for Genius named Fox Guyver. Suffice it to say he will be kitbashing quite a few explosives together.

This troper is writing a story in a school group. One of the characters is named Reina Storm. This troper is not amused.

An unfortunate case: this troper's sister has, or used to have, a friend with the name "Skye Walker".

I know a James. When his name was called for graduation, I thought I heard "James Kirk LName". Subverted, since it was actually Curtis.

Not really an example, but I know a James Tiberius Mitchell-Taylor. Named for the character.

This (Israeli) troper once knew a kid named Nir Vana. He was apparently unaware of his name's meaning.

When this troper's auntie was is highschool, apparently she had a classmate named Harry Dick. Poor kid.

Why working at his job a friend of This Troper came across (since last names were listed first, for organization) Oh, Hungman.

My group nickname is Shippo, I'm quite a shipper, and the word "ship" is in my last name, any questions?

This Troper's father once knew a person who named their kids Snow and Pine... Their last name was Cone. I am entirely serious.

This troper had a teacher with the last name of Burden. He would've named her "Financial" if his wife hadn't stopped him.

There is a 1/4 Japanese student at my school whose name was translated as Raito Yagami. Nobody ever gave him pens if he needed them. Blond hair does not help at all.

Did he take potato chips...AND EAT THEM!?!?!?

A girl in my graduating class was named Robyn Steele.

A person that this troper knows once had the last name of "Plague". She mentioned that if her mother had her way, her siblings would've been known as "Scarlet" or "Blackie". The last name by itself has caused misunderstandings on more than one occasion.

A guy in my class has the last name Assman. Although he says he prefers breasts himself.

This troper went to school with Rocky Brook. Even the teachers called him that, so it was many years before we found out that was a self-given nickname. His real first name was Babbling.

This troper has alraedy mentioned his 'short, stocky, regenerating, Drow with implanted scimitars' called 'Wahl Vahren' in the ParodySue TroperTales.

This troper once had a fabrics teacher named Carrie Mehome. Making fun of her name was punishable by detention.

I know a kid named Sam Sung and another named Jay Walker.

ThisTroper's high school janitor was named Iona Johnson. The really bad part was that she ''married into'' her name.

This Troper knew a girl named Ana Graham, as well as a Holly Wood.

Borderline example: My surname is an old Cornish one allegedly derived from the Spanish 'Diego'. (Presumably a distant ancestor of mine swam ashore from the Spanish Armada and talked his way of getting thrown back in, which is pretty cool.) My parents knew this, but nevertheless christened me 'James'. Ha bloody ha.

This Troper's orchestra includes a percussionist named Tom. Once, when he was having trouble playing his part, the conductor asked him what the problem was. Not one to pass up a stealth pun, he replied "This part calls for 5 toms, but there's only 4 here." His kit only has 3 toms.

Gaye Males is unfortunate.

There is no way this Troper's knowing someone named Peter Johnson was not the result of his parents not being able to resist the pun. Either that, or they made a subconscious pun. On a personal note, this Troper's main character in stories is named Storm Carter. That in itself isn't a pun, but it seems no matter what I choose his sister's name to be, even on the fly, I can somehow connect it to a pun or meaningful name. Officially, his sister's name is Serenity Carter (opposites, storms and serenity) but I've also used May. Which then led me to later think "April showers bring May flowers". Storm's birthday is in April. Lord help me.

In the same vein as the 'Peter Johnson' example, there was someone in this Troper's high school named Randy Johnson. There was much amusement when my friends and I discovered him in the yearbook.

The same Troper from the Peter Johnson example would like to mention that she recently discovered that there is a man at the nursing home where This Troper's brother works named Harry Peters.

This troper's high school janitor was an Iona Johnson. The ''really'' bad part was ''she married into that name''.

This Troper has so many, it's rediculous. Drakeula, [=WarLord=](the God of War, no, not related to the series), Hydronix himself(Monster Stone is its meaning) and many others I can't think of yet.

This Troper's brother once knew somebody named Butch Lady. Poor girl.

This editor knows a Jade Stone in her English class.

This Troper had a Diamond Stone in her elementary school.

This troper went to high school with a Krystal Stoner and a Dawn Starr, and once took a check at her job from one Harold "Harry" Bottom, whose parents must have completely hated him.

This troper went to high school with a girl named Hope Diamond.

I babysit a 4-year-old whos's first and middle name is Anna May. Her fave shows are {{Pokemon}} and SailorMoon.

this troper had a classmate who was always talking about digimon. She was also Anna May, save that 'May" was her last name.

The linguistics department at this troper's college has an academic adviser with the last name Babler.

This Troper role-played a wild west character who with the name Robin Banks. Strangely no one could figure he was an outlaw.

This Troper has a punny nickname given to him after being shot in the face with an airsoft gun: Captain de Face. it? "Cap'd in de face?"

My younger sister and I are disappointed in my older sister for not doing this with her tattoos. For reference: She has a lizard tattoo she named Eric and an Alligator tattoo she named Eddie. We wanted her to name the lizard Eddie, Eddie Lizard.

I once met a guy by the name of Joseph King. Because I almost never think before speaking, I blurted out "You must be Joe King!"

This troper's next door neighbor is a man named Clay Potter.

This troper's father went to school with a "Peter Abbot."

This Troper saw a poster with the names of some musicians on and the last name was Boris Bugerov.

This Troper once wrote a Joker origin story fanfic where the character's name was, literally, Jo(seph) Kurr. As I recall, I was trying to separate Ledger!Joker from the more common fandom name Jack Napier.

This Troper read a book of dirty jokes written by Mike Oxbent and Harry P Ness. You have no idea how long it took for me to get those.

This troper's first MaidRPG character was named "Kanae Asada". Bonus points: she had the "cooked with love" maid power.

This Troper's parents say that they didn't name me after the designer label Chanel. In Mandarin, my last name (吳) sounds like the number 5 (五).

This Troper's drama teacher is called Mr Golightly.

I know a girl named Katlin Tuin Finnerty, which a teacher used to pronounce as Skating to infinity, which annoyed her to no end. Pea Mia Pans (pronounced Pee My Pans) sounds made up, but it truly is somebody's name I know.

I've briefly encountered someone on SecondLife going by the name Bom Berman. I give them credit for managing to make a punny name out of one of the limited number of surnames they let you select.

After watching ''ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', this troper asked her (Mexican) mother if she knew anybody named ''Rosa Flores''. She told me that her parents probably didn't think of her too much.

This Troper once knew a guy named John Toilet.

A friend of my mother had a license addressed to Nosmo King, and allegedly had made one for his brother Nopar.

In this tropers line of work, she has to clean client lists into something readable. This means she comes across thousands of real names with real phone numbers attached. One name that stood out was "Qing Kong".

This troper's name is something Bunker Hill. I hate my parents.

Subversion: My full birth name was Christopher Adam Barber; the pun should be obvious if you were to make an acronym using my initials. When I was adopted, my surname got changed to Christianson. My half-sister still plays the trope straight the same exact way, considering her name is Corina Ann Battle.

This troper overheard a conversation by some kids (second graders) today. It began with people reading off the address of a board game maker and saying something like "What if you were surnamed Street? How would people find you? That'd be confusing." HilariousInHindsight if you mentioned Ghostcrawler or his real name.
