This pattern is a still a stub.

Examples
Naming probably first became an integral part of games in Tabletop Roleplaying Games such as Dungeons & Dragons and Hârnmaster where players named their characters. The has been carried over to such as the Elder Scrolls series and the Fallout series. While not thematically similar, Naming also appears in such as Bloodbowl, Hattrick, and the Football Manager series.
The Civilization series proposed names for players' cities based on the civilization they are playing, but this can be changes to suit the players' whims. The Europa Universalis series and Hearts of Iron series lets players change the name of provinces they have conquered or colonized which in these case can ensure thematic rather than historic accuracy.
