Fan Casting You Are Number Six(Dehumanizing Number Name, You Are Number 6)

Role added by connieblackwood on October 18, 2022

Description of You Are Number Six (Dehumanizing Number Name, You Are Number 6):

When a character has a number as a name, i.e. a numeronym. Usually this carries dehumanizing implications. Science Fiction stories, especially dystopias, are likely to use this trope to some extent. It's also common for prisoners to have serial numbers instead of names. Bizarrely, this can actually also serve to humanize beings that have never had separate identities before. If you have a race of robots or drones that become sentient, they may adopt their numbers as their actual names (à la Artoo Deetoo and See Threepio).
