Say My Name

No need to shout, Clark. We can hear you just fine.

Walt: Now, say my name.
Declan: [pauses] You're Heisenberg.
Walt: You're goddamn right.

— Breaking Bad

No matter what range of emotion you're feeling towards another character, the best way to express it is to say their name — preferably in either a hoarse whisper or scenery-chomping cry. Even if no one's around to hear you, just thinking about that character is enough of a prompt, provided you aren't running game. It's all but required if you're in the midst of rescuing your True Companion/Love Interest currently facing imminent doom, you're running towards each other in romantic rapture, or when your mortal enemy has simply gone too far. Sometimes those last two get confused.

Additionally, if your show features a large cast this also serves a narrative purpose: When they appear again after not being seen for three arcs, clearly stating their name once more helps the viewer identify and remember them.

Of course there are times (especially in anime) when they overdo it (see Big Word Shout)

Characters saying their own name can also fall under this trope, but if they do it incessantly, not for dramatic effect, that's Pokémon Speak.

Many instances of this trope in Japanese works may also fall under First-Name Basis. In Japanese culture, it is customary to use family names plus an honorific (usually "san", sometimes "senpai" for one's elders, "kun" for underlings, "dono" or "sama" for works set in older times, etc.) when addressing someone else, even directly (they rarely use the pronoun for "you" in formal settings, although they do have a few for informal situations). Children, especially girls, will often use first names with friends, although adults will usually only do this if they've been friends since childhood or are otherwise close buddies. But when a couple has moved ahead in their relationship, they will often switch to using first names as well. In media, the first time a character calls their romantic interest by their first name (whether out of affection or distress), the scene often ends up being an example of this trope.

Can overlap with Angry Fist-Shake.

Compare First-Name Basis, First-Name Ultimatum, "You!" Exclamation, "You!" Squared, Skyward Scream. If you have a lot of people, all doing a "Say My Name" to each other, it's a Rocky Roll Call.

Contrast I Know Your True Name where speaking it has much more dangerous implications.

Examples of this trope are often subjected to Memetic Mutation. Can result in Narm. If a person does this often, it can become a catchphrase. See also Familial Chiding, which is often predicated by the loud call of someone's name.

Not to be confused with Spell My Name with a "The".

  • The alien brain Krang in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1987) liked watching a TV show that seemed to consist entirely of a man named John and a woman named Marsha staring at each other and saying their names over and over.
  • MAD: John didn't have his glasses on, and was saying it to the wrong girl at first. Also, he stepped off a cliff to kill himself; a trampoline saved him (repeatedly); the John-Marsha scene played; and when Marsha rejected him, that was the point when the trampoline people moved the trampoline....

FIIILM! ANIMATED!

• An American Tail and its sequels do this a lot, usually when Fievel Mousekewitz gets into dangerous situations.
  • The infamous storm scene uses this trope to gut-wrenching effect. Fievel yells in vain for his Papa to help him, while his father can only helplessly scream for his son as the latter falls overboard into the sea.
  • Near the end of the film, when Papa hears Fievel calling for him, he immediately jumps off Tiger's back and screams Fievel's name at the top of his lungs as he runs to him.
    Fievel: Papa? Papa! Where are you? Papa!
    Papa: Fievel? (To Tiger) Wait, stop! (Dismounts) FIEVEL!!!
    Fievel: I'm coming, Papa!
  • Tony and Bridget also do this during the climax as they frantically search for Fievel amidst the burning pier. As usual, they use the nickname "Filly" that Tony gave him, although Tony gets desperate enough that, at one point, he shouts out Fievel's real name—which he rarely does, except when Fievel is in danger.
    • In the second movie, Papa again, after T. Chula throws Fievel off the train. On a more lighthearted note, Fievel and Tiger happily exclaim each other's names when they reunite in the Indian camp.
    • The third movie has Tony again yelling Fievel's real name when Fievel gets pinned by a nailed board in front of a speeding subway train. The mob sequence later in the movie also uses this trope quite a bit.
• Brave: Fergus screams "ELINOOOOORRRRRR!" when he finds her torn dress and believes she's been killed by a bear.
• Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules: Rowley tells Greg that wasn't a Rockstart project, that just a "Do Plants Sneeze?". Greg angrily screaming Rodrick's name and birds flying away.
  Greg: RODRICK!!!
• The Lion King (1994): Simba returns to the Pride Lands in time to hear Scar loudly calling for Sarabi, Simba's mother, to berate her for the lionesses' apparent failure at hunting for food.
• Probably at least half of the dialogue of WALL•E and EVE consists of their own and each other's names. The third most common word is "directive".
• Try keeping track of how often the hero's name is said in Beowulf, most notably in the sea monster fight ("BEEOOWUULLF!"). There are quite a few shouting of "I am Beowulf!" in there (of varying volume and pacing), and Wiglaf even gets the odd "You are Beowulf!".
• The Swan Princess:
  • When Derek finds out that Odette was kidnapped and is possibly dead, and again when he learns she's cursed to die because he pledged his love to an imposter. "ODEEETTE!"
  • Odette screams when Derek is tricked into his Mistaken Declaration of Love: "DEREEEK!" ("NOOOOO!")
• Although he doesn't use their actual names, the Professor calling out for the girls in The Powerpuff Girls Movie as he's being strangled snaps them out of their Heroic BSoD in space. They end up fulfilling the trope more properly.
  Professor: [gasping] Girls!
  Blossom, Bubbles & Buttercup: [all together] Professor! [in a flash, they're back on Earth, flying at top speed] Professor! PROFESSOR! PROFFESSSSOOOOR!
• Disney's Beauty and the Beast has a climactic scene towards the end where Belle calls out "Beast!" The audio commentary notes that they'd forgotten to give the prince a name.
• In Frozen II, Elsa shouts Anna's name just before being turned into pure ice.
• All Dogs Go to Heaven: CHAAARLIE!!! Though it is shouted a few times, the sheer number of times every single character feels the need to say his name is baffling. It averages at one "Charlie" a minute. Have a look.
• In the 1973 film version of Charlotte's Web after Charlotte passes away:
  Wilbur: Charlotte? Charlotte?? CHARLOTTE!!
• Finding Nemo: Even for a traumatized father who is looking for his lost son, Marlin is using the word "NEEEMOOO!" way too much.

• A few during the climax of Wreck-It Ralph. King Candy (who is revealed to be Turbo and is now a Cy-Bug after being eaten by one) has a hold on Ralph and flies up to the sky with him, and Vanellope calls out Ralph's name after seeing this. A little bit later, Ralph sees Vanellope heading to the exit with Cy-Bugs approaching and at first quietly calls out "Kid!" like he had been mostly referring to her throughout the movie; then he sees her failing to exit Sugar Rush due to her glitch, with the Cy-Bugs still heading her way and Ralph still quietly but more desperately calls out her name while reaching out to her in vain. Shortly after, Ralph gets out of King Candy's grip and falls through the Mentos stalactites of Diet Cola Mountain to cause an eruption to attract the Cy-Bugs and get rid of them, knowing full well he won't survive. Vanellope sees Ralph falling and calls his name then Felix calls out to her as she glitches over to Diet Cola Mountain to save Ralph.
• In the prologue of Anastasia the Dowager Empress Marie is able to board a train leaving St. Petersburg, but Anastasia slips out of her grasp and hits her head on the platform. The scene ends with Marie screaming Anastasia's name as the train pulls out of the station, forcing her to leave her granddaughter behind.
• Superman: Red Son. The United States creates Superior Man to challenge the Soviet Superman.

Needless to say this gets the Man of Soviet Steel's attention.
• Cats Don't Dance has Darla Dimple yelling for her butler Max with anger when Danny tries performing his talent on the set of Lil' Ark Angel, and in the end with fear (not learning he's now stuck on a balloon of her) after Pudge pulls the trap door for her demise.
• The Transformers: The Movie has Megatron yelling Starscream's name after the latter ejects him from Astrotrain despite his protests that he is not too injured to continue on. Somehow fitting as the culmination of their four million year long relationship of abusive tyrannical leader and scheming treacherous second-in-command.
  Starscream: Oh, how it pains me to do this.
  Megatron: Wait! I still function!
  Starscream: (heaving Megatron out the nearest door) Wanna bet?

MULLLTIPLLLE MEEEDIAAA!

• Star Trek:
  • Star Trek: The Original Series:
    • Kirk is the one doing most of this, as he is played by William Shatner. Mc Coy gets his share of moments too, screaming "Jim!" or "Spock!" depending on which one is in danger and/or doing something Crazy Is Cool (or plain crazy) at the moment.
    • If Spock does this, you know shit is about to hit the fan. The one time he shouted "Jim!" was when he was leaping forward to shield Kirk from a deadly poison shooting alien.
  • Star Trek: The Next Generation:
    • Data gets a couple of these. Usually when he's assumed dead, like in the episode "The Most Toys", by The Stoic Worf of all people.
    • In "Tin Man", it's Picard who screams. It was Patrick Stewart's line, so the odds of it being done badly were pretty slim.
  • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan:
    • "KHAAAAAN!" Captain Kirk is being a Large Ham on purpose, in order to fool Khan into thinking he's won.
    • Khan has his fair share of shouting "KIRK!"
  • First Contact: Data's name is also shouted at him by the Borg Queen at an appropriate moment. His response? "Resistance is futile."
  • The franchise parodied itself in the movie from 2009, where the name shouted by Nero is "SPOCK!" With the interesting twist that he was thwarted by his enemy's younger self.
  • Still in the 2009 reboot, Spock calling Lt. Uhura by her first name "Nyota" is meaningful because it emphasizes the fact she is his significant other too, beyond being a fellow officer. You can tell a scene is more personal for him when he refers to her as "Nyota". Furthermore, it is the first time her first name is uttered in canon, and there is a running joke with Kirk in the first movie as he tries to make her tell him what's her first name but she refuses to.
    Lt. Nyota Uhura: I'll be monitoring your frequency.
    Spock: thank you, Nyota.
    James T. Kirk: (after Uhura leaves) So her first name's Nyota?
    Spock: I have no comment on the matter..
  • See this video: "Spock!" "Captain!" "Bones!" "Spock!" "Jim!" Spock is bedridden. Kirk is worried. Doctor is concerned.
  • Star Trek Into Darkness played it relatively straight on the other hand, as an infuriated and emotional Spock has to helplessly watch Kirk die. Cue Spock screaming "KHAAAAAN!"

MUUUSIIIC!

• Side one of the 1969 album Wedding Album by John Lennon and Yoko Ono is 22 minutes and 41 seconds of nothing but Say My Name.
• Some of GACKT's "Call and Response" routines during concerts consist of a legion of fans shouting his name in unison.
• The Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, and Tich song "The Wreck of the Antoinette" includes the protagonist and the narrators crying out "Antoinette! Antoinette!"
• Destiny's Child's "Say My Name" (natch) Invokes the trope as a challenge to the unnamed boyfriend of the singer whom she suspects is two-timing her with another girl and wants him to say her name to prove he's serious about their relationship rather than him continuing to try to dodge around her.

PINBALL!!!!!

• The Addams Family has Gomez and Morticia's exchange.
  Morticia: GOMEZ!
  Gomez: TISH!
• The Shadow does this with The Shadow/Lamont Cranston and Margo:
  "Shadow?" "Margo!"
  "Margo!" "Lamont?"

PROOOO WRESTLING!!!!!

• Former WCW and WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg caused fans to chant "GOOOLD-BERG! GOOOLD-BERG!" during his entrance; combined with his epic entrance music (and his streak), it helped sell him as a badass.
• Hailey Hatred had a tendency to call out an opponent's name during matches. Usually right before bowling over them.
• WWE superstar Alberto Del Rio might be the Trope Codifier for Professional Wrestling—at least in the modern era. He has a very hammy ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, that routinely ends every introduction (the vast majority in Spanish, of course), with an absurdly long yell of the wrestler's name. "ALBERTOOOOOOO…" frequently cracks a full ten seconds—and now that he's turned Face within the last year, the vast majority of the crowd participates in the trope as well.

PUPPET SHOOOOWWWWS!!!!!

• Barney & Friends: BAAARNEEYY!—the kids greet their (imaginary?) friend this way almost every episode, followed by crowding around and hugging him.  One way to kick off the episode has one or more children sitting around and making Barney come to them before sadly saying, "Hello, Barney," prompting the dinosaur to ask what's wrong.

SPOOOORTS!

• During Muhammad Ali's fight with Ernie Terrell, who would only refer to him as Cassius Clay (his old name), Ali repeatedly shouted, "What's my name? What's my name?" Oscar Bonavena, a subsequent opponent of Ali's did the exact same thing. So did Ali, dishing out the most one-sided beating of his career.
• Very common in sports arenas when the home team scores. Variations includes chanting, yelling etc.
  • It's also very common for commentators to do this when a player from either team scores. One highly memorable example is Martin Tyler's scream of "AGUEROOOOOOO!!!" as Sergio Aguero scored the last-minute goal that won Manchester City the 2011-12 English Premier League at the expense of cross-town rivals Manchester United.
  • Another iconic football example: after Dennis Bergkamp scored a spectacular (and again, last-minute) winner in the 1998 FIFA World Cup quarter-finals, putting the Netherlands through at the expense of Argentina, Dutch commentator Jack van Gelder was reduced to screaming Bergkamp's name over and over again, in awe of what he'd just seen.
    "DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP! DENNIS BERGKAMP!"

TABLETOP GAMES!!!!!

• In Warhammer 40,000, the legendary Lord General Ursarkar E. Creed is notorious for having a plan within a plan, and his (sadly no longer) unique ability, Tactical Genius, allows him to infiltrate almost any unit (super-heavy tanks and 45 foot tall mechas included) almost anywhere, leading his enemies to screech CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!!!!! when his plan is revealed and turns the tide of battle.

VISUAAAL NOVEEELS!

• Fate/stay night:
  • The Hero Shirou Emiya and Big Bad Kirei Kotomine seem to enjoy saying each others' full name, especially when yelling. More the former than the latter.
  • Kirei seems to be fond of saying Shirou's full name, both for dramatic effect and to savor the fact that he is speaking to the adopted son of his old Arch-Enemy Kiritsugu Emiya. All other cases of "Say My Name" in this game are appropriate for the situations, but Kotomine loves going out of the way to say "Emiya Shirou" even when a simple "you" would do.
  • Shirou will also yell "SAABEERR!" a lot, particularly when he summons her during his fight with Rider.
• Majikoi! Love Me Seriously!: Tatsuko, at one point during the Ryuuzetsuran route, is reduced to repeating "Yamato-kun" over and over again while fighting.
• A number of the Big Bads of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney series yell out the name of their most hated enemy when defeated in court.
  • Particularly scary to the point where things burst into flame, as seen with Dalia Hawthorne. "MIA. FEY. MIIA FEEY!"
  • Kristoph's insane, iconic "WRIIIiiiGGGggghhhHHHTTT!!!" which is so long it takes multiple text boxes to fill.
  • Querus Alba screams Edgeworth's name before dissolving into a long wordless scream.
• In Tokimeki Memorial 2, Akane's brother Sou-Banchou is very fond of this trope, each time his Knight Templar Big Brother side kicks in. "AAAKAAANEEE!!!"
• Yo-Jin-Bo:
  • After Hatsuhime's first meeting with the other main characters, Yo teases Jin: "Haaatsu-chaaan! Jiiin-samaaa!"
• The Safe Ending of Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors has Ace yell "ZEEEROOO!" as he is incinerated along with Snake. In the same ending, Junpei gives a shout of "Kaaaannyyyyyy!" after Akane vanishes.
  • In Zero Time Dilemma, whenever Zero II appears on a monitor or comes on the intercom, almost (but not quite) every single time, one character will say "Zero..." in a dramatic fashion.
• It's like crack to the characters of Umineko: When They Cry. The most commonly met are "OOOOH BEATORIIICHEEEE" (basically whenever Kinzō appears in the early arcs) and "Ushiromiya BATORAAAA" (whenever Beatrice starts a duel or teases Battler).
• At the climax of Koujaku's route in DRAMAtical Murder, when Koujaku finally meets with his nemesis at Oval Tower, Aoba notes Koujaku's unusual rage as he shouts "RYUUUUUUHOOOOOUUUUUU!!" at the top of his lungs.
• Sunrider:
  • Played for Laughs in Sunrider Academy, where Student Council President candidates Kayto Shields and Fontana shout each other’s names after Fontana deploys his "secret weapon" during the final campaign speech, causing Kayto’s sister Maray to pass out from a nosebleed.
  • Played for Drama in Sunrider Liberation Day, where Fontana and Kayto bellow each other’s names in rage because Kayto unwittingly brought a Prototype spy to the Liberation Day ceremony, causing a massacre and Fontana shot and killed Kayto’s Love Interest Chigara, who is the aforementioned spy.
    ”SHIELDS!”
    "FONTANAAA!"
  • Played for Drama once again in Sunrider 4: The Captain's Return, where Kayto bellows Fontana's name in impotent rage as the latter swipes the mainframe containing the only clue to Crow Harbor's location just before Kayto can get his hands on it.

WEB ANIMATIOOON!

• In the Bad Days short about The Walking Dead, most of Rick's dialogue consists of calling out, "Lori! Carl!" Lee's only line involves yelling, "Clementine!" Finally, after Rick discovers that Lori has cheated on him with Shane, Rick growls, "Shannnne!", then beats Shane up.

  Tigris: I... don't follow.
  Leo: My name. What's my name?
  Tigris: Uh. "Leo"?
  Leo: No. "Leo" is the lion mask I wear into battle. And yes, the mask is deeply a part of me. But my mind — my soul — is human. My name is Jason, and it's me who has to live with the things I do.
