History Main / VerbalTicName

* ''Di Gi Charats's'' Pyokola Analogue III ends hers with "pyo!"

* Nyorori from ''12 Senshi Bakuretsu Etoranger'' who ends every sentence with his name, Nyorori.

* In the ''{{Narnia}}'' novel ''The Magician's Nephew'', when the Talking Beasts adopt Uncle Andrew as a pet they name him Brandy because he makes that noise so often. Unusual in that Uncle Andrew was perfectly capable of speech and was rather [[{{HeroicBSOD}} rendered incoherent]] by the previous events of the novel.

* As mentioned in the description, ''[=~Pok�mon~=]''. Pika-pika.

* The little draconic creature Raac ([[spoiler: who turns out to be a magical spy for Borel/Krasus]]) in {{Warcraft}}: TheSunwellTrilogy.

* Not exactly the same, but the idea behind it is: In an episode of ''PhineasAndFerb'', the characters call an alien Meap because [[StarfishLanguage that's the only word he says]] (so that's how he replies when they ask his name). He gets hold of a [[TranslatorMicrobes translator mustache]] at the end of the episode, though.

* Not exactly the same, but the idea behind it is: In an episode of ''PhineasAndFerb'', the characters call an alien Meep because that's what he said when they asked what his name was, but that's all he says (until he gets hold of a translator).

* As mentioned in the description, ''[=~Pokémon~=]''. Pika-pika.

* Boo in ''MonstersInc.'' is a slight non-Japanese variant.

* Chomesuke from ''[=~D.Gray-Man~=]'', ''cho~!''

* Zero of "{{Holes}}", because according to Mr. Pendansky during his introduction, that's all he amounts to.

* Chomesuke from [[{{DGrayMan}} D-Gray Man]], ''cho~!''

* As mentioned in the description, ''[=~Pokémon~=]''. Pika-pika.
* Giru in ''DragonBallGT''
* It's suggested from the [[WordOfGod director's notes]] that Culumon (Calumon in the dub) from ''DigimonTamers'', not being a real Digimon at first, ''gave himself'' his name and adopted a VerbalTic from it.

* An example from music: Noodle from the virtual band {{Gorillaz}} is named that because when she was first shipped over from Japan that was the only word she knew how to say.

* The wyrm-corrupted Black Spiral Dancers from the original ''[[WhiteWolf Werewolf: The Apocalypse]]'' were given a new name upon completion of their first dance around the black spiral, after the first sound they made. Mostly these new names are incoherent noises or rage or distress, but one notably unfortunate individual was named ''Parrupt'', as the first sound she made did not come from her mouth...

* Moon from StephenKing's ''TheStand'' would say things such as "m-o-o-n that spells (insert word that is not moon here" which is where his name comes from.
** That character was called Tom Cullen, never Moon, so it's not an example.

* Not exactly given his name because of what he says, but Dan Taichi from PrinceOfTennis has two [[VerbalTic verbal tics]]: "-desu!" (usually at the end of a sentence) and "Da-da-da-DAAAAN!" (when he is excited or happy.) Some of the other characters in the series have noted how weird they think it is that he says his own nam as a [[CatchPhrase catchphrase]].
