Naming a Trope can be difficult. Generally, there is a trade-off between descriptive naming and clever naming, as many clever names only make sense to members of a particular fanbase. This page is here as an archive of names that were just a little bit too obscure to stay, too easy to misinterpret, too similar to an unrelated trope, not sounding neutral enough, or otherwise deemed unworthy. Trope names based on a character (or other reference to a specific work) have fallen out of fashion, because not everyone watches the same shows. Some other common themes in renames are:

  • Naming a Trope can be difficult. Generally, there is a trade-off between descriptive naming and clever naming, as many clever names only make sense to members of a particular fanbase. This page is here as an archive of names that were just a little bit too obscure to stay, too easy to misinterpret, too similar to an unrelated trope, not sounding neutral enough, or otherwise deemed unworthy. Trope names based on a character (or other reference to a specific work) have fallen out of fashion, because not everyone watches the same shows. Some other common themes in renames are: * Titles based on a character's name, but not making it clear which character with that name was meant. * Everything's Worse With Snowclones, so they're used less and less nowadays. Notable example: the "Everything's better with..." titles. * Trope Decay, where an otherwise appropriate name was being used "wrong", constantly. Eventually it becomes clear that the real demand is for the "wrong" use. Notable example: Moment of Awesome used to be "Crowning Moment of Awesome", but it wasn't being used for single superlative moments. * Using "Trope" as a placeholder. * Tropes that had the same name as a work that later got an article. * Names that simply don't indicate what the trope is all about. Especially if it suggests something unrelated to most people. * And then there are titles that nobody ever really liked, even the original author. See also Trope Transplant, a special case of renaming where the old title is commandeered to make room for a separate trope. Examples of Renamed Tropes include: * A to E * F to K * L to P * Q to Z
