Theme naming is when, instead of normal names, characters are given names as puns that typically follow a theme. Like in DBZ, a group of warriors named after dairy products or in Naruto, Kabuto's team are named after the Japanese word for Shield, Sword and Helmet. Jojo's with Musicians as well.

My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine.

We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by

MHA has a lot of theme naming as well; a lot of characters' names are related to their powers. For example the baku (爆) in "Bakugou" means "explosion".
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows.
