* The Wrestling/BigGoldBelt -- the original one, at least -- is actually silver and gold[[note]]Technically, it is solid sterling silver with the raised portions (letters, swirls, crown, globe, grapplers and rope borders) being gold plated while the flat areas between remaining silver.[[/note]]. The versions that replaced it would indeed be all-gold. The "big" part would become this when WWE redesigned the belt in 2003, as the main plate was shrunken down to better fit around the wrestler's waists.

this was previously under Artifact Title, moved to more fitting trope

Added DiffLines:

* ''Art/TheBirthOfVenusBotticelli'': As it turns out, Botticelli never named his painting -- it was art historians from the [=XIXth=] century who did that. And they, well, screwed up. The painting's subject is not Venus' birth per se but the newborn Venus about to step onto the island of Cythera (which was considered her homeland). A more fitting title would be ''Venus Arriving on Shore after Being Born from the Sea''.

Added example(s) and elaborate on the "Venus" genre.


* Art/VenusOfWillendorf: Whatever the figurine's name might have been, it wasn't recorded and is now impossible to know. Her assigned name, however, plays this trope straight because the statue isn't of Venus but of a prehistorical MotherGoddess.

* Campaign 2 of ''WebVideo/CriticalRole'' has the Mighty Nein, an adventuring party made of seven members. Subverted slightly in that the name comes from [[ArcNumber the unusually large number of nines]] rolled by the players early in the campaign combined with a tongue-in-cheek reference to the [[GratuitousGerman setting]], and has nothing to do with the number of people in the party. [[RunningGag Not that that stops NPCs from reacting with confusion whenever they introduce themselves.]]

** In another story arc, the lagoon is invaded by sea slugs, and Sherman looks in the Yellow Pages for an exterminator. Finding one business named Slugbusters, he calls it, but when the man arrives and hears the problem, he explains that they don't deal with slugs.
-->'''Sherman''': Then why are you called Slugbusters?
-->'''Exterminator:''': It's a catchy name. People see us in the phone book, they give us a call.
-->'''Sherman''': Well, it certainly worked on me.

True Art Is Incomprehensible is now an in-universe trope as per TRS.


* The opera ''Four Saints in Three Acts'' is in four acts and about as many as seven saints. (It's difficult to give an exact number of protagonists due to the show's [[TrueArtIsInComprehensible incomprehensible]] style.)

* ''WebAnimation/GradeAUnderA'' discussed this in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psENhhkYMO8 Why Animal Names Are Stupid]], which had several animals whose names didn't fit them. Particularly the red panda being red (it's orange) nor a panda (it's a ferret).
