Basic Trope: An animal is named after products that come from it, such as its meat or hide.
- Straight: A chicken is named Nugget.
- Exaggerated:
- Nugget's friends include a cow named Steak, a pig named Bacon, a sheep named Lambchop, and a horse named Glue.
- The chicken's name is Honey Garlic Chicken Breast.
- Downplayed:
- A Dog Named "Dog" in the case where the animal's meat and the actual animal are the same thing, such as a chicken whose name is Chicken.
- A Lizard Named "Liz", but with products from an animal, such as a cow named Angus, a horse named Elmer, or a sheep named Woolter.
- Justified: "Nugget" is considered a tough guy name among chickens.
- Inverted: A living chicken nugget is named Chicken.
- Subverted:
- Nugget is revealed to not be a real chicken.
- A chicken is named "Veronique"... which is a meat dish, but it's a case of A Dog Named "Cat" because the dish is actually made of quail.
- Double Subverted:
- He's a fantasy race of chicken-like animals, which can also be made into nuggets.
- Veronique is a dish that can also be made with chicken, so it is still appropriate for the species.
- Veronique is believed to be a chicken, but turns out to be a quail disguising as a chicken.
- Parodied: There's a human named Humanmeat.
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: The chicken is not named after any of its food products.
- Enforced: ???
- Lampshaded: ???
- Invoked: ???
- Exploited: ???
- Defied: Alice is going to name her pet chicken Nugget, but her parents don't like the idea and name it Charlie instead.
- Discussed: ???
- Conversed: "They're naming the animal after the kind of meat you get from it? That's dark..."
