Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend used to be "Spectacled Sadist"; it was renamed because of confusion with FourEyesZeroSoul. Before that, it was the "KichikuMegane", which was horribly obtuse to anyone who didn't know the Japanese names of anime tropes, and also shared a name with a yaoi eroge VisualNovel, though the term was brought back as an UsefulNotes/AnimeFanspeak page along with {{Kichiku}}, the latter of which redirected to Bastard Boyfriend prior to the main tropes being merged and the FanSpeak terms being spun off.

* FilibusterFreefall used to be "The Brain Eater", after the [[UsefulNotes/{{Usenet}} rec.arts.sf]] post which seems to be the oldest known acknowledgement of the phenomenon. If you weren't aware of it -- and it's a fair guess you weren't -- you'd probably mistake it for BrainFood.

* UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfComicBooks used to be just "Golden Age". It was renamed because it didn't specify that it was specific to comic books, leading to misuse referring generally to a "golden age". GoldenAge is now for the latter use.

* InactionSequence used to be "Midstrike Monologue"; it was renamed because it didn't necessarily require a monologue. Before then, it was "Not So Fast"; in addition to being mistaken for a StockPhrase, it was also easily confused with the mostly unrelated "Not So Fast, Bucko", itself renamed to YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle.

* IonconsistentSpelling was previously "Spell My Name with an 'S'". It had its definition adjusted and its name changed because the trope is about official spellings, but it was commonly misused for fan spellings (which belong under ViewerNameConfusion and not this trope).
