Fan Casting Named by the Adaptation in Sort by Tropes

There are a lot of characters with No Name Given out there. This trope is where an adaptation is made of the character's story and the character is given a name. This can range from the main character to secondary characters as well. The character may have become an Ascended Extra in the adaptation. It often serves to make the character seem more relatable, though whether or not this works is up for debate. Another variation is where the character doesn't have either a given name or a last name and is given one in the adaptation. Doesn't apply to characters whose names are changed in the adaptation.
