* Music/{{Coldplay}}'s 2011 album ''Mylo Xyloto'' (MY-loh ZY-luh-toh) is pretty much this, and the band itself has admitted so.

* ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx''. This is especially weird because neither the all-caps word nor the all-caps "word" is an acronym. The lead character's partner calls him "darling" and they pilot a HumongousMecha called "Franxx" [[InconsistentSpelling (or is it Frankxx?)]], because XMakesAnythingCool.

** ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' includes a few pages of an xkcd parody titled xkcq ([[ScrabbleBabble because it scores better in]] TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}.)

* "UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}" was chosen because it is easy to say (despite the fact that the phoneme for [wi] ヰ is obsolete in Japanese, replaced by [ui] ウィ/ウイ), is a homophone for "we," and the two i's look like two players. The gaming community [[SeriousBusiness staged a short rebellion over the name]], preferring the earlier code name "Revolution," but the name stuck.
** Similarly with the "UsefulNotes/WiiU" name: because in many languages "w" and "u" are used for the same phoneme, because "u" is an upside-down "n" (for "Creator/{{Nintendo}}"), and because of a game-making philosophy reemphasizing the role of the individual gamer whether through more hardcore experiences or through AsymmetricMultiplayer (as Reggie Fils-Aime put it during the E3 2011 reveal, "It's a system '''we''' will all enjoy together, but also one that's tailor-made for '''you'''.").

* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' mentions in its FAQ that it doesn't stand for or really mean anything, and was chosen due to being an unusual sequence of letters which is easy to search for. [[note]]To clear up some of the {{UsefulNotes/UNIX}}-heads out there, no, it's not the CD player program. That one's ''KSCD''.[[/note]]

* LetsPlay/ScottManley's Website/YouTube name is "szyzyg," a disastrous attempt to spell [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syzygy_(astronomy) "syzygy."]] He decided to leave it that way for the [[RuleOfFunny accidental humor]], and to avoid the hassle of creating a whole new channel just to fix the username.

* Music/{{Beck}} uses several madeup words for album and song titles. Most are {{Portmantitle}}s of actual [[WordSaladTitle random]] words ("Sissyneck", "Whiskeyclone Hotel City 1997", "Readymade"), but "Music/{{Odelay}}" is effectively made up (variously claimed as a corruption of the Spanish interjection "Órale" or a pun on "oh, delay").

** ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'' includes a few pages of an xkcd parody titled xkcq (because it scores better in TabletopGame/{{Scrabble}}.)

*** Von Südenfed, a side project where the members of Mouse on Mars were joined by [[Music/TheFall Mark E. Smith]], is named as sort of a bilingual/cross-cultural pun: Von Süden is German for "southern", while Sudafed is a American decongestant brand.
