A nominative phenomenon is an abnormal circumstance that is associated with a name. Such a phenomenon may manifest naturally after lying dormant, or abruptly when the name is given to an individual.
Known nominative phenomena
Below is a list of nominative phenomena, with hosts (confirmed or proposed) indicated in parentheses.
Confirmed
- The "Kennedy curse" (Kennedy Loser)
- The Justice Blindfold (Justice Spoon, formerly Tyreek Olive)
- Existence as a quantum waveform originally produced by a payphone (Jessica Telephone, Sebastian Telephone)
- Existence as a hivemind of refuse (Eugenia Garbage)
- Existence as a being of pure light (Sebastian Sunshine)
- Having a large steak knife for a head (Whit Steakknife)
- Sentient Calculators (Kathy Mathews)
Speculated
- The Spirit of Violence (Landry Violence) — possibly a linguistic entity instead
- Existence as the Internet (Emmett Internet) — unclear if the surname "Internet" predicted the pact, is a result of the pact, or is entirely coincidental
- The Duende species (Combs Duende, Theodore Duende)
- Universal partnership (Boyfriend Monreal)
- Babyism (Baby Doyle, possibly Baby Triumphant, possibly Silvia Rugrat)
- The "Loser aura" (Kennedy Loser)
- Scandalescence (Sam Scandal)
- Being your son (Son Scotch)
- Nominative vampirism (Alexandria Dracaena, allegedly Thomas Dracaena) — correlation of vampirism with the surname "Dracaena" may be coincidental
- Knowledge of forbidden lore (Bevan Wise) — may simply be a family tradition rather than a nominative phenomenon
- Being a dog who plays Blaseball (Beasley Gloom, Beasley Day)
- Existence as an ordinary car tire piloted by rats (Miguel Wheeler)
- Prophesied to be the best pitcher to ever exist (Edric Tosser) — unclear if "Tosser" is a reference to pitching or no
