Alice is The Ditz, The Fool, a Cloudcuckoolander… the point is, she's an idiot. And since she's an idiot, she can't remember Bob's name, even though she's known him for ages. She can try, but it's unlikely that she'll ever hit upon the right name—unless things have just gotten real. Maybe she likes him and just has an odd way of showing it. She may be a normal person, but even normal people get mixed up with names sometimes. The outcome is the same—she can't pin the name down. This may be a Running Gag. Better yet, maybe Bob is an alien, Super Hero, or an otherworldly creature in general, with a strange and/or long name—how could she know it? Pronouncing My Name for You might occur if the accidental misnaming is a mispronunciation. Malicious Misnaming is a Sister Trope in which using the wrong name on purpose is a bullying tactic. If the misnaming is a one-off incident in an emotional moment, it's Wrong-Name Outburst. If The Fool genuinely thinks Person B is someone else, it's Thoroughly Mistaken Identity. If the name change is intentional, see Significant Name Shift. If it's specifically about Santa Claus' reindeer, see Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, and Nixon. For out-of-universe examples, see Viewer Name Confusion. Compare and contrast Too Important to Remember You. |

In Finding Nemo: The absent-minded Dory can never remember the name of Marlin's eponymous son, calling him at various points Chico, Harpo, Elmo, Bingo, and Fabio. She eventually gets it right and recognizes him as Nemo near the end of the movie, much to her own delight. Also, Marlin gets accidentally called "Marty" by one of the other fathers and "Tuna" and "Trout" by Nigel. The sequel, Finding Dory, on the other hand, almost completely averts this. In fact, Dory never got Nemo's name wrong at any point. The only time she slips up on somebody else's name is when she calls Hank as "Frank", and that's only once. |

Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two: When Lightning notices the teams are picking names, Black Hole replies they should be "Death P.A.C.T." again like the previous season but the graphics take his suggestion way too literally by calling them "Death P.A.C.T. Again". Pen then wants his team to be "Death P.A.C.T. Again" too but Golf Ball shuts him down explaining that "Our team name will have to be—" before cutting herself off upon realising she was about to misname her team a third time. This was all for naught, however, as Tennis Ball walks up to a paranoid Golfball and worryingly ask "Are you okay?", finishing her sentence and accidentally confirming "Are You Okay" as their name. While Coiny's team argues whether they should be "W.O.A.H. Bunch" once more or "The Zigzags", Saw tries remedying the situation by reminding them they are all teammates. Alas, Saw's Verbal Tic of uncontrollably shouting the number "8" at words sounding like eight kicks in when emphasizing "Teammates" so her team ends up being "Team8s". Price Tag lampshades the absurdity of these team names and wonders if it's always like this. Book reassures her if they remain extra careful, they won't end up with another silly team name which everybody agreed on... only for Naily to respond with "We're just not!" and locking in the name "Just Not" anyway. |

Object Cringe: Happened twice for the premieres of the first and third seasons. While Fidget Spinner was confirming to Good that his team name is "The Dank Memes", Gravey who hates the name interjects with his suggestion, "The Death Kills". And so, Team "The Dank Memes No The Death Kills" was born. Planky's question over his makeover is mistaken by Hot to name his team "Do you think I look cute this way?", much to the ire of Chocolate Bar. |

Village of Objects: As a homage to Battle for BFDI, Team "5 Names At Once" got its name when all of the members said their names at the same time after misinterpreting Perfume's question of their team name for their own. Meanwhile, Coin tells OJ that their team is gonna be awesome since they're "The Cool Ones In The Show" and unknowingly gave their team name with his quote. This happened again at the two-team phrase. Slushie wanted to name his team the "Frozen Fighters" again but Flaggy cuts him off with a curt "No!" and TV glitched out when naming hers. Thus, both teams are undesirably stuck with "Frozen FiNO" and "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" until the merge. |

In the Lamb Chop's Play-Along episode "Principal Swanson," Lamb Chop, Charlie Horse and Hush Puppy's school principal comes to visit Shari, and since none of the puppets are model students, they worry that they're in trouble. But it turns out he wants to tell Shari what great students they are. But then, as he leaves, he says "Goodbye Billy, Jane and Bobby." It's not made clear if he just got their names very wrong or (more likely) that he confused them with another trio of siblings at their school who really are great students. | |

The Bucket List: Jack Nicholson's character, Edward Cole, has a habit of calling his subordinates whatever name(s) he prefers; the way he acts, you'd think it was accidental if it weren't shown clearly that he does know their real name (making this a subversion). It's not Malicious Misnaming because it's not a variation of their real name or meant as an insulting or bullying tactic. He basically acts as if their real name is immaterial. Later we find out he's done the same thing to his personal valet, Tommy (though Tommy might just be messing with Carter): |

Mom Can't Cook! has a couple of instances: Stuck in the Suburbs was directed by a guy called "Savage Steve Holland", which both hosts think sounds like a wrestler's name. When later trying to remember his name, one of the hosts suggests ""Stone Cold" Steve Austin", which creates a Running Gag of using various wrestlers' names in place of Holland's. Luke even briefly forgets the director wasn't a pro wrestler. The hosts keep thinking Ready to Run's real title is "The Confidence of Horses", as the name of that plot point keeps coming up in the film far more than its actual title. |

This is a favourite gag in several games of Cool Kids Table. In Creepy Town, Will does this constantly. He calls Alli "Kelly" and Walter "Wilbur" immediately after meeting them. In their Firefly game, Mickey constantly calls Todd "Tim". In Here We Gooooo! Since Yoshi caught her letter with his tongue and accidentally wiped off several letters, he refers to Princess Caramel Seltzer as "Cammy Seller". The player characters from The Fallen Gods will do this to everything and everyone, regardless to if they actually know the name or not, regardless to whether the person who told them the name of the person or thing is standing right beside them. |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: Reynir has trouble remembering names of the members of the crew on his first day, which causes him to mangle Lalli's name into "Lúlli" a couple of times in Chapter 7. The later chapters are vague on whether he actually gets any better at it, as he ends up befriending Lalli's cousin who accumulates the advantages of speaking his language and not hating his guts. Because of this, Lalli comes up mostly in conversations with her, where Reynir can dodge the bullet by simply referring to him as "your cousin". He gets the name of other characters right in later chapters. | |

A quick way to add some humor in Hamlet is having characters confuse Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with each other. They are always together and are introduced as a pair, so a faulty gesture and the appropriate reaction from the named in question is all it takes. | |

SCP Foundation has SCP-3049 ("To Make an Apple Pie from Scratch"), an oven that, when its center dial is set to "Apple Pie", will create a miniature universe with an accelerated timeline similar to that used in Cosmos, except that the universe (designated SCP-3049-1) always succumbs to Grey Goo and then turns into an edible apple pie. It was recovered by Agent Rembrandt Anderson from a Mrs. Taylor who referred to him as "John", "Kevin", "Jacob", and "Brian" while he was interviewing her. | |

Sesame Street During the time that Mr. Hooper was alive, Big Bird almost never got Mr. Hooper's name right. Commonly, he would call him "Mr. Looper", even after he corrected him. Similarly, when Mr. Handford appeared on the show, the other characters would call him "Mr. Handfoot", and he would have to correct them, seemingly to no avail. In an episode in which Freddy Flapman, a real estate agent, tries to convince Big Bird to move to a new habitat, a Running Gag throughout that episode is Big Bird getting Freddy's last name wrong and Freddy having to correct him. Freddy ends up doing it to himself at the end of the episode (though that was Self-Deprecation instead of this trope). In Christmas with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, featuring the Sesame Street Muppets, right before Santino Fontana takes the stage, Ernie pulls an "Adele Dazeem" and constantly misremembers his name, much to Bert's annoyance. Several animated skits had a superhero who taught about teeth called "Captain Super Ultra Mega Smile Man". The boy Bobby kept forgetting his Overly Long Name and called him "Captain Mega Whatever", "Captain Mega Teeth Guy" and "Super-Duper Smiley Dude". |

Kitboga is a scambaiter popular on YouTube and Twitch. In the scambait "Do Not Cut the Cards," Kitboga's character, Dawn Dewitt ("Granny Edna") often forgets the name of the scammer, Kathleen. She calls her at least a dozen different incorrect names, including, but not limited to, Candice, Kristin, Kelly, Cindy, Catalina and Rachel. At one point, she even seems to think that she's received a call from "Krispy Kreme," possibly offering a promotion on donuts. | |

Blixemi: Graystripe can't remember the names of all his kits — he can keep track of Feathertail and Briarlight, but confuses Stormfur for Stone-fur (a different character entirely) and then forgets who Bumblestripe and Blossomfall are, instead calling them "Bumblestomp" and "Buttercup". | |

Characters in Ménage à 3 fairly frequently mangle each others' names, usually as a sign that someone is or was drunk, has just met somebody else, or is just plain careless — sometimes all three. Notably: Zii gets Gary's name wrong shortly after meeting him. DiDi has so many boyfriends that she can't remember their names. For example, she calls Erik "Armand", "Philippe", "Derick" and "Jerry". Sonya mangles new character Peggy's name heavily here and here, simply because she's very drunk at the time. (This also generates an In-Joke reference to author/artist Giz's past work on Penny and Aggie.) She still hasn't got Peggy's name quite straight the next morning. |

In DM of the Rings, nobody could keep any of the names straight. Notable ones include Aragorn referring to Théoden as "King Crazypants", mixing up Sauron and Saruman, and forgetting the names of their own party members. Rivendell is Rivertown or Riverdale, Théoden is Theogan, and the Nazgûl are Margazoids. | |

A variation that's barely noticeable without subtitles occurs in Avatar. Jake Sully introduces himself to the Omaticaya Na'vi by his full name. While Neytiri continues calling him Jake, the rest all call him by his full name. However, it's subtitled as "Jakesully", and they often pronounce it as "Jake-sooly". Jake himself never corrects or calls them on it in the film itself. | |

Battle of Objects: Season 1: "The Big Balls" get their team name by Button making an accidental innuendo, commenting on Basketball's size and shape. "Something Else" is named when Left Lens wants to copy another team's name and is told by Right Lens that they have to be called "something else". Season 4: "The Fruity Bunch Again" is named when Lemon wants to reuse the name "The Fruity Bunch", which is then unintentionally shortened to "The Again" when Blueberry requests not to have "Fruity Bunch" in the name. Button also accidentally misnames her team again when describing the members as "loyal and more empathetic" and thus "L.A.M.E." is born. Season 5: Referencing season 1, the Glasses twins nearly repeat the same mistake but Ringy jumps in to name the team "Wait, No!" instead. "H.O.T. Green" is accidentally named by the team members comparing their previous team names and "GLITCH" is a result of iPhone glitching out when naming, making their team name unpronounceable. |

Frozen Played for Laughs when Kai announces the Duke of Weselton as "the Duke of Weaseltown." Then invoked at the end when he deliberately refers to Weselton as "Weaseltown" as he announces the placement of a trade embargo. There's a misunderstanding where Olaf the snowman believes that Kristoff is named Sven, the same as the reindeer. He proceeds to call Kristoff "Sven" for most of the film, until the scene where they meet his troll family. Anna calls Kristoff "Christopher" the first time and is corrected. Anna mistakenly thinks that "Of The Southern Isles" is Hans's last name, due to that being his title. |

The Book of Mormon: Elder Cunningham is simply incapable of remembering Nabulungi's name. He addresses her by a different name each time he greets her, some of which include Neutrogena (a brand of hair and skin products), Neosporin (an antibiotic cream), Necrophilia, and Nala. Some productions ad-lib other references—such as Nicki Minaj, Netflix-and-Chill, Nabisco, and Nesquik—and another uses John Travolta's "Adele Dazeem" flub. The West End production has become increasingly fond of using political references (‘Nigel Farage’ and ‘No-Deal Brexit’, for example). |

Whenever One and Two are speaking about him in an insulting manner, he naturally storms into the office moments later and is greeted with said insult: for example, as Lennox-Brown has just called Sir Gregory "a proper little Hitler", he accidentally greets him as Sir Adolf. |

Questionable Content: In the arc where Hannelore's mother sends her a personal assistant she doesn't want, she consistently calls them "Taffy" and ignores their quiet correction that "It's Tilly, ma'am." Given Hannelore's irritation at the situation, it seems like Malicious Misnaming at first, but when Marten points it out, she explains that "My mother called you 'Taffy' on the phone and now it's stuck in my head!" (Knowing Hannelore's mother, that could have been Malicious.) Marten's one-night stand calls him by the wrong name when telling him that she's not interested in a relationship. He's insulted until he realizes he never even asked for her name. |

In the Italian comic Lupo Alberto, set in a World of Funny Animals, Enrico La Talpa, a mole, is memorably introduced emerging from the ground in front of a crawling Alberto shouting "Heilà Beppe!" and affectionately punching him in the nose, to which a spooked Alberto can only reply "I-I-I'm nononot Beppe...". Justified because Enrico is poorly sighted like a mole and mistook him for Beppe... But then Beppe would never appear and Enrico would continue calling Alberto with that name. A later comic had Enrico call Alberto with the correct name, leading to Alberto to cry in happyness... Then Enrico grabbed his glasses, took a good look, and apologized for mistaking him for Alberto. A more recent comic has him purposefully refer to the title character as "Lupo Alberto" (Alberto the Wolf), revealing that at some point he figured out the mistake and now Beppe is simply his nickname for him. |

Peppermint Patty, in Peanuts, insists on calling Charlie Brown "Chuck" and Lucy "Lucille." They've long since given up correcting her. (It's never made clear whether Lucille is Lucy's real name or not.) Meanwhile, the little red-haired girl calls Charlie Brown "Brownie Charles," although that one is his own fault; he introduced himself that way out of nerves and she just continued calling him that, even though it's very obviously not a real name. | |

People mix up Vex'ahlia and Vax'ildan from Critical Role all the time, to the point where Liam and Laura had shirts made to distinguish them. Even Gilmore - who pretty obviously has a thing for Vax — addresses him as "Vax'ahlia" at one point. Kashaw mangles "Tiberius Stormwind" multiple times over the Trial of the Take, and finally gets it correct when he says goodbye to the party. It's unclear whether this was Malicious Misnaming or if Kashaw just didn't give a crap. |

A newspaper accidentally called German politician Björn Höcke "Bernd", perhaps because there is another prominent member of his party, the AFD, named Bernd Lucke. Höcke publicly made a fuss about it, and with him being a politician, and a right-wing extremist on top of that, the Heute Show and other satiricists started intentionally calling him "Bernd Höcke", to the point where a lot of serious media and even fellow politicians, even other AFD members, have begun calling him that. | |

Drowtales has Zith, a cameo character who chronically mispronounces everyone's names, to the point that the page has an author's note on the bottom explaining all the misspellings were intentional. Her concept art features her calling Quain'tana "Quainana" much to the Ill'haress' disdain, but seems to be good enough at her job otherwise given Quain's intolerance for incompetence. Also something of a Fandom Nod since many members of the comic's forum have trouble spelling character's names. | |

Homestar Runner: When Strong Bad isn't doing Malicious Misnaming in Strong Bad Email, he's doing this. In "long pants", he misreads "Clancy" as "Clanky", and in "geddup noise" he reads "marc baroni AZ" as "Macaroni from A to Z". Strong Bad has also been on the receiving end of these. One sender who asks for "cool ways to spell different words" addresses Strong Bad as "Stong Bad". Homsar, being the king Cloud Cuckoo Lander he is, has a habit of calling people by anything but their real name, preferring to use something that rhymes with it (calling Bubs "Tubs") or just doesn't make sense at all (calling Strong Bad "Reggie"). Senor Cardgage also seems to be prone to this, as well as using the wrong pronouns. Seen in one of the songs from Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits, "The Ladies In My Town All Know My Name" The unfinished cartoon "Soap Box Doiby" has the following exchange between the King of Town and the Announcer. |

Ace Attorney: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney also seems to be a frequent victim of this (rival prosecutor Klavier Gavin always calls him "Herr Forehead"), and there's even a scene where Apollo keeps getting the names of other characters wrong, prompting Trucy to say his name wrongly in the same way (such as calling him "Apololo" when he refers to Alita Tiala as "Alita Tialita"). Morgan Fey keeps calling Detective Gumshoe "Gymshoe". Gumshoe continually calls Phoenix "Harry Butz" throughout the first game, not only getting Larry's name wrong, but using it on the wrong person. Mia also misinterprets Larry's name as Harry. |

Short Cuts features two examples across its many subplots. Howard Finnigan's father Paul has not seen him for thirty years by the time he shows up at the hospital where his eight-year-old son Casey has been taken after being hit by a car. Because this means he has never met either Howard's wife Ann or Casey himself, he accidentally refers to Casey as "Kevin" when he finds Howard and Ann, and has to be prompted every other time he tries to remember his grandson's name. In the film's opening sequence, Ralph and Marian Wyman are sitting next to Stuart and Claire Kane at a concert. When Marian and Claire's amazement at seeing Alex Trebek in the audience gets them to talking and inspires Marian to invite the Kanes to dinner, Ralph points out that they are effectively total strangers. When the Kanes arrive for dinner in the film's final third, Ralph is still vague on their guests' details and initially addresses Stuart as "Steven". |

The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye: Rung is never correctly addressed by name when he is conscious or present. The other characters will either forget his name, mispronounce his name, or simply identify him based on his profession. However, characters do not seem to have this problem at all in prose stories or when he is not present. When Tailgate is first brought on board the Lost Light, he hears Whirl called (appropriately enough) "Nutjob". 40+ issues later, Tailgate still seems to be under the impression that's his actual name. In a Franchise where characters have canonically been named "Dipstick", "Wideload", and "Windbreaker", it doesn't seem like such a stretch. |

The Last Podcast on the Left: In part 3 of the show's series on Mormonism, Marcus describes how a man left the LDS Church because one of Joseph Smith's revelations, meant specifically for him, spelled his name wrong. He thought that, out of anything, God should be able to spell. Henry notes that the name's proper spelling was the non-intuitive "Symonds Ryder". Ben posits that, between this and His apparently not telling the Manson Family how to spell "Helter Skelter", perhaps God really can't spell. | |
