* ''Billboard'' - The major trade publication of the music industry started in 1894 as a trade paper for the billboard advertising industry. But the publication shifted its focus to the entertainment industry (which, at the time, was a major user of UsefulNotes/{{billboard}} advertising) before the ''19th century'' even ended. Before becoming music-centered it dealt heavily with things like circuses and {{Vaudeville}}, but kept the original name all the while.

* The [=DirectX=] UsefulNotes/ApplicationProgrammingInterface was named because its components all had a "Direct" prefix, like [=DirectPlay=], [=DirectDraw=], and [=Direct3D=]. Many of these old components have been retired in favor of newer standards that don't use the prefix, or opt to use an "X" prefix instead like Xinput or XACT. The "Direct" prefix still occasionally gets used, but it no longer follows the nomenclature that strictly and as such the name [=DirectX=] isn't as meaningful as it once was.

* ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'': Only the first panel of the first adventure is done in UsefulNotes/MSPaint. The rest are done in Photoshop and [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash]].

* A WhatCouldHaveBeen example with ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra'', the SequelSeries to ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender''. When it was found that they couldn't call the show ''Avatar: The Legend of Korra'' due to a trademark dispute with Creator/JamesCameron's burgeoning ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' film series (which also prevented the [[Film/TheLastAirbender live-action film adaptation]] from using the word years prior), a new title of ''The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra'' was briefly considered. This supertitle was deemed to have been clunky and inaccurate, as in-universe, Korra isn't "the last airbender"; the final title would simply be ''The Legend of Korra'' as a result.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThePenguinsOfMadagascar'' is, as its name suggests, centered around the minor [[AscendedExtra penguin characters]] of the movie series ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'', but is primarily set in New York's Central Park Zoo. The lemurs native to the island in the first film are now depicted as zoo animals as well. Ironically ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'', doesn't have Madagascar in its title despite being one of the few parts of the franchise to happened entirely on the island.

** While the title PlotCoupons are the driving force of ''[[Manga/DragonBall the first third or so]]'', once the story is done with Namek in ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' it becomes centered entirely around Villain Arcs, featuring [[InactionSequence long-winded]] bouts against said villains. The aforementioned Dragon Balls are relegated to little more than a plot device the protagonists [[DeathIsCheap customarily fall back on when too many of their own die]], and the obstacle of gathering them up is either done off-screen or made trivial with Goku's [[{{Teleportation}} Instant Transmission]]. This comes full circle in ''Anime/DragonBallGT'', where the Dragon Balls are the central focus again (at least until the producers realized that they couldn't make the new story work and fell back on Villain Arcs again).
