When a character that's evil doesn't have a particularly evil-sounding name. While generally Played for Laughs, this can also be used to chilling effect in combination with tropes such as From Nobody to Nightmare and/or Paranoia Fuel. Tom the Dark Lord sometimes goes hand in hand with Embarrassing First Name, but not always. Bonus points if it manages to be meaningful or ironic. Contrast with Names to Run Away from Really Fast, which is about evil people with Obviously Evil names.

Note : This trope is only noteworthy if there is a contrast, either with the villain's profile or villainous personality. The Affably Evil villain or The Rival, unless they are non-human supernatural entities, don't need evil-sounding names.

Subtrope of Ominous Mundanity. See also Fluffy the Terrible, which is about vicious animals and beasts with cutesy names. Compare Special Person, Normal Name. Not to be confused with Ron the Death Eater, although that can lead to this in fan works.

Super Danganronpa 2 has a character claiming to be a demon lord of destruction. His name? Tanaka- one of the most common family names in Japan, and essentially the equivalent of 'Dark Lord Smith'. On the other hand, his given name is Gundham.

In ClockUp's Maggot Baits, the biggest, meanest, supernatural "witch" (yes, include the quotation marks) in the game... her name is Sandy. And her rude, hedonistic partner's name is Isabel. The rest of the "witches" names (either Heroic or True Neutral) are Carol, Gloria, Wilma, Alison, Carla, Edna, Irene, and Jane Doe. All the witches are named after famous hurricanes because of their incredible destructive power, so they still count as Meaningful Names.
