This person does not like their birth name; if you call them by it, they will either correct you or ignore you. This could be for a number of reasons. They might feel that you are assuming too much familiarity with them. They might find their real name embarrassing (though their alias is not always much better). They could want to reinvent themself. Or it might be that no one calls them by that name besides their parents. Extra points if even their parents use their nickname unless they're angry with them. Unfortunately for them, it does not always stick; someone will always call them by their old name, much to their chagrin. This person is not only known by their nickname despite their best efforts. The person who calls them by their real name might be trying to mock them or threaten them, or perhaps is unaware that they feel this way. The Trope Namers are professional wrestlers Triple H aka Hunter Hearst Helmsley (Paul Levesque) and Big Show (Paul Wight), who have both told fans who refer to them by their birth names that, since all their friends and even their wives refer to them by their ring names, as far as they are concerned, those are their real names. Or were, Wight lost the rights to the name "Big Show" when he left WWE and is billed under his real name in AEW, and Levesque has mostly used his real name since taking over as Chief Content Officer (in other words, booker) in 2022, though people that know him personally mostly call him "Hunter". This trope is not restricted to only people named Paul, however. Could be related to Embarrassing First Name, but that is more about an annoyance. This one is more prideful and dramatic. Some entertainers invert this trope when they want to put their personas behind them (often because their work has become an Old Shame to them), refusing to answer to their Stage Names. Relevant to Transgender and gender-expansive individuals, who often find references to the names they used before transitioning to be rude and hurtful. May also be related to That Man Is Dead, Meaningful Rename, Self-Applied Nickname, and Becoming the Mask. Compare Accidental Misnaming, Insistent Terminology, They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!. Can be a form of a Berserk Button. Contrast Hates Being Nicknamed. Contrast Embarrassing Nickname, where someone is dubbed something insulting or embarrassing and it sticks. Named After Somebody Famous might invoke this response if there is a dissonance between the meaning/reputation of the name and the personality of the person in question (like a pacifist being named after a brutal conqueror). I Know Your True Name is like this but with magical ramifications though the effects can be equally powerful. |

Ronnie Spector fully disavowed her birth name Veronica Bennett in the early 1970s and did not answer to it for the rest of her life. When a fan asked why she continued to use the surname "Spector" despite all the terrible things ex-husband Phil Spector did to her during a 2019 Q&A, Ronnie answered that it's a combination of the public widely knowing her by that name and that she thinks Veronica Bennett is "a shitty name". | |

Bones: Angela is like this. She renamed herself because she hated her birth name of Pookie Noodlin Pearly-Gates Gibbons. (Seriously.)

CSI: NY: A temporary example with Danny and Lindsay. When she first joins the team, he jokingly calls her "Montana" after her home state, then sticks with it, much to her annoyance. He drops it the next season when he starts falling for her, and they eventually become a canon couple. | |

He's not the only "Elvis" to invert this: the Elvis, Elvis Presley, hated being called "The King" or "The King of Rock and Roll". You see, Elvis was a devout Christian and genuinely humble man, so to his mind "The King" was, well, the King of Kings, and "the King of Rock and Roll" was Fats Domino (he felt that he had only gotten the appellation because he was white and that Domino was a far better musician). To his friends and associates, if he wasn't Elvis, he was "E". | |

In The Very Secret Diary. Ginny's birth name is actually Virginnia, instead Ginevra (as in canon). She actually wishes more people would call her "Virginia," as it's a little more elegant and sounds more grown-up, and is frustrated by her brother's comment that she has to "grow into" that name. Tom, however, politely calls her "Virginia." It's later switched when Ginny finally catches on to what Tom really is. When he tries to sweet-talk her and call her "Virginia," she snaps, "My name is Ginny." The follow-up fic, Disenchanted, shows that her preferred name has been permanent. When Dumbledore tries to address her as "Virginia," she makes it clear that it's "Ginny." | |

Played straight and then inverted in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.. An orphan with no known family, she was named Mary Sue Poots. As an adult, she chose the name Skye and went by that until discovering her birth parents and learning her birth name, Daisy Johnson. After that, she went by Daisy, which everyone went along with, although Coulson occasionally forgets and call her Skye. A subtler example from the same series: Fitz is the last main character in the first season to have his first name (Leo, short for Leopold) mentioned on-screen, and seems genuinely a bit annoyed whenever it's brought up, which is usually only in the context of formal introductions. Even his best friend and Love Interest and eventual wife always calls him by his last name, even though he calls her "Jemma" or "Simmons" pretty interchangeably. The Fitz example is played with later in the series when an evil alter-ego of his is introduced, who very much goes by Leopold rather than Fitz, but even then would rather you call him "Doctor". |

Also, many Jews and some Christian denominations believe God does not like to be called "God", preferring "The Lord". And many more Jews will get quite annoyed if you try to guess His real namenote What that name actually is was lost long ago, as ancient Hebrew didn't use vowels when written; all we have left is four letters that transliterate into "YHWH" (or "YHVH" if you prefer) and call him "Yahweh" or "Jehovah". (They take the commandment "Do not take the LORD's name in vain" extremely seriously and avoid using it at all.) | |

Harry Potter has a few examples: Tonks, first name Nymphadora. Her father calls her "Dora," as does her Love Interest, Remus, after they get together. Everybody else just calls her "Tonks." A fan once asked J. K. Rowling why she didn't just use her middle name. Apparently, it's Vulpecula. Voldemort absolutely despises his original name, Tom Riddle. Part of it is hating his Muggle father, Tom Riddle Sr., but mostly he’s just so insanely egomaniacal that he utterly loathes the very idea of other people sharing his first name. Dumbledore (and later Harry too) continues calling him by that name to his face, though, as a refusal to fear him. Ginevra "Ginny" Weasley's full first name isn't even revealed in the books until Auntie Muriel is heard using it in the last booknote At least in-story. J.K. Rowling had revealed Ginny's full name years prior, to counter rampant Fanon that "Ginny" was short for "Virginia" rather than "Ginevra", which is the Italian variant of Guinevere and so goes nicely with "Arthur" and "Percival" (Percy's Fanon first name).. |

He also would refuse his deadname, an alphanumeric code which he absolutely would not respond to. When Superman fully returns, he relents and sticks with Superboy, and when Superman later bestowed human and Kryptonian names on him he was so happy he actually cried. | |

Thus throughout the series they all keep using the placeholder numbers-as-names they gave themselves in order of awakening from stasis, instead of their original names. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-2128, the Liar's Cradle, is a stone furnace that incinerates anyone who stands inside it and speaks a lie. When someone stands inside it and makes a statement that refers to it by its SCP designation, they burst into flames. Someone who stands inside it and says exactly the same statement, but calling it "the Liar's Cradle", is not incinerated. The Liar's Cradle apparently only wants to be called by the name it prefers (other tests have established that the Liar's Cradle is sapient, intelligent, and very sadistic). | |

The only one who can get away with it is his mother, Rowena, and mostly because she was such a terrible mother that he has a lot of worse things to be mad at her for. | |

In Resonance Days, witches are reborn with a new name and insist on being referred to by that name. Since they lose their memories upon becoming witches, the name is the alpha and omega of their identity, and being called by another name (even the name they held before their transformation) feels like a personal affront. This is of no small source of consternation for Kyouko, who finds Oktavia's refusal to answer to 'Sayaka' to be distressing. | |

In Total Drama Action, Izzy does this several times, going from Kaleidoscope to E-Scope to Explosivo.

Thrall/Go'el of World of Warcraft has a complicated relationship with this trope. He grew up as a slave under the name Thrall (literally "slave"), and after gaining his freedom decided not to change it, so as to remember where he came from. He later learned his birth name was Go'el, but continued to use the name Thrall while his Love Interest Aggra calls him by his birth name. Thrall's eventual decision to set aside his office of Warchief, and then his slave name, reflect his Character Development in letting go of his bitterness towards the humans' Alliance that enslaved him to embrace his potential as a shaman who protects the entire world, not just the Horde. Despite this, he is still referred to as Thrall by most of those who were introduced to him as such, without seeming to mind at all. | |

Josephine Taylor of Being A ΔΙΚ, for so far unexplained reasons, hates being called by her full first name, preferring to go by "Josy" (Derek calls her "JoJo"). The one time she is called "Josephine" is by Steve who is trying to flirt with her, and she is clearly trying to shoo him away without being too rude given that he's the boss's son. | |

Inverted by Vic Reeves, who goes from being Vic on set to Jim (Moir) off it and prefers people to call him that in Real Life (in reality, he's well enough known as Vic that many interviewers can't do it). Indeed, as Jim's father was also called Jim, he says that his family call him (his middle name) Rod, his friends call him Jim and his fans call him Vic. When he appeared with his wife on the UK version of I'm a Celebrity! Get Me Out of Here!, it was a bit odd for fans to hear her referring to him as Jim when the voting lines and show presenters all called him Vic. You can also very occasionally hear Bob Mortimer accidentally call him Jim when they're performing, although he will immediately corrects himself. | |

The Ultimate Warrior actually legally changed his name to "Warrior" (a step up, to be sure, from "James Hellwig"). But this was by many accounts for trademark-related reasons and not personal ones. Other wrestlers have also changed their names to their wrestling names, such as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin (formerly Steve Williams) changing his name to "Steve Austin" in 2007, Diamond Dallas Page (formerly Page Falkinburg) changing his name to "Dallas Page" in 2003, and Chyna (born Joan Marie Laurer) legally changing her name to "Chyna" (for trademark reasons much like Warrior) in 2007. | |

George "Sticky" Washington from The Mysterious Benedict Society doesn't feel his name fits him and prefers to go by his nickname. In The Riddle of Ages, which is set many years later than the original trilogy, he decides to start asking his friends to call him by his real name. By the end of the book, however, he admits he can't get used to it and decides that he will be known as "George" for legal purposes and to those who don't really know him. To friends and family, he's still "Sticky." | |

Knights of the Old Republic: Your Character does this with certain dialogue options, rejecting your former identity of Darth Revan. Justified, since you only remember a few flashes of your previous life. In the sequels, it's implied that Revan doesn't reject their name, so much as being called Darth Revan. |

Stargate: In Stargate SG-1, despite being of the same species as the Goa'uld, their stark philosophical differences and preference for having a symbiotic relationship with their hosts, means that the Tok'ra do not take kindly to being referred to by the name of their megalomaniacal brethren. Rodney McKay of Stargate Atlantis tried to hide the fact that his first name is actually Meredith… it only got out because of his sister, who persistently calls him by it. There's one episode where he meets an alternate version of himself known as Rod. McKay complains that he was never able to get anyone to call him Rod. |

Played straight by Anamnesis, who refuses to acknowledge her birth name, Itzara, as she's now an amalgamation of several minds and feels little ties to her past life. |

When Roxy meets old buddies of her she insists being called "Roxy" instead of "Roxanne". |

Inverted in The Owl House. Emperor Belos's rise to power meant that he had to shed his old identity as the human Witch Hunter Philip Wittebane, despite still being very attached to it. In "Hollow Mind", he laments how good it feels to hear another human refer to him by his old name, and when Luz yells "EAT DIRT, BELOS!" in his face during "King's Tide", he glares at her and insists that his name is Philip. | |

AJCO's Eglatine Wynne is far more commonly known by her nickname of Egg. It's partially because she hates her first name so much she hasn't even told anyone what it is, and partially because she no longer identifies with the girl who was called Eglatine, only the girl who became Egg during her time in the mob. | |

Nick Fury of the Marvel Cinematic Universe gives a speech to Captain Marvel about how no-one calls him by his first name. Even his own mother (and his own kids, if he had them) calls him Fury. This serves as a bright neon arrow that a shapeshifting Skrull is around when he's suddenly addressed as "Nicholas." Much like in the comics, the Hulk refuses to be referred to as Bruce Banner. As he puts it in Thor: Ragnarok: |

X-Men: Days of Future Past: As Mystique is rescuing several of her fellow mutants (and former teammate Havok) in Saigon, Alex accidentally calls her by her deadname, and she declares "That's not my name." Deadpool (2016): Ajax's dead name is so clearly disliked by him, that he goes out of his way to treat Wade more cruelly because the latter insists on using it instead of Ajax because of that being the only revenge he can manage while being tortured and experimented on. |

Interestingly, the UFC itself has a policy against letting fighters have stage names, and very few fighters are allowed to compete under nicknames only (IE, Andrei "The Pitbull" Arlovski is fine, but not "The Pitbull"), unless it's been a long established personal name they're widely known by. This includes Mirko Cro Cop (rumors are the UFC dropped his last name Filipović because it was too hard to say for American fans, despite him using it when he was in PRIDE), Kimbo Slice (because no one is going to pay to see Kevin Furgeson fight), and CM Punk (since he was MUCH more widely recognized by that name from his time in Professional Wrestling. | |

Used during a storyline where Eric Bischoff was being put on trial to see if he could remain RAW GM. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters was called in to testify on behalf of Bischoff, but Vince was able to discredit his testimony by proving he committed perjury, as his name isn't really Chris Masters, but Chris Mordetzky. This was quickly forgotten and his real last name was never mentioned on TV again. | |

Inverted in Dune. His name really is Paul, and he likes being called Paul, but all the Fremen call him Muad'Dib ... and Usul and Mahdi, while others call him Kwisatz Hadderach. The man has more names than stillsuits. As an act of reserving his identity as an Atreides as well as his acceptance into their culture, he requests to be called Paul-Muad'dib. | |

Judge Dead from Noob seems to hate his real name, Théodore, prefering his Online Alias to it. A scene from the novels has his boss heavily imply that he considers doing this ridiculous when they are face-to-face in real life. The webseries had him insist on his real name not being used online while something much more urgent than the proper way to address him was going on and showed his father, Tenshirock, using it in late Season 5 episodes. | |

In Steins;Gate the main character insists on being called Hououin Kyouma, his mad scientist "true name". Most characters see this as chuuni nonsense and refer to him by his real name, Okabe Rintaro, much to his chagrin. When things get serious later on, he drops the act and just goes by his real name, but when he finally figures out how to solve everything, he confidently insists that he’s Hououin Kyouma once more. | |

Despicable Me: "It's Vector. Victor was my nerd name." Also, Gru clearly hates his real name, Felonious. No one calls him that. Not even his daughters, his wife, or his mother (who calls him "Son"). In the third film, his twin brother Dru also calls him "Gru", even though that's Dru's last name as well (making him Dru Gru). |

Yusaku Godai of Maison Ikkoku is only ever called by his first name by his parents and his grandmother in the original Japanese (some translations change this). The only time someone else used his first name, it was schoolgirl stalker, Ibuki Yagami (when he insisted she stop calling him Godai-sensei, since he wasn't her teacher any more, she says, "I understand, Yusaku-san.") Poor guy looked like it gave him hives. | |

Although Girl Genius's Tarvek doesn't make a big deal out of it, he still doesn't use the name he should be using. He's actually Aaronev Tarvek Sturmvoraus, son of Aaronev Wilhelm, and after his father dies he should have become Prince Aaronev VII, but he instead calls himself Prince Tarvek. Considering his father had made his life a misery, ruined his plans with his obsession over a dead megalomaniac, and killed Tarvek's sister in an attempt to revive said megalomaniac, he's actually very justified in his distaste for the family name. | |

Wrestling name conventions stick for a long time. For example, The Undertaker is always Undertaker or 'Taker. Unless you're Ric Flair, who met him during his 'Mean' Mark Callous days and, as such, calls him Mark. It extends on most of the time, though there are exceptions. Lance Storm, for example, refers to Shane Helms as The Hurricane, even though he met him during the Shane Helms days. | |

In Death Note Villain Protagonist Light spends much of his time seeking the names and faces of his enemies to be plugged into the titular Artifact of Death. Unfortunately for him, all of them seem to be Only Known by Their Nickname and yet don't identify with them enough to be targeted that way. | |

Dragon Ball Super: Broly marks the first time ever in the franchise Goku introduces himself as also Kakarot. Goku introduces himself to Broly once they start to form a friendship at the very end of the movie, this is such a big deal there's even a theme tune to put emphasis on Goku fully accepting his Saiyan name, as such name now carries the good legacy of his good Saiyan parents Bardock and Gine, not of a bloodthirsty race anymore. It's also a Mythology Gag to the non-canon Broly's tendency to only say "Kakarot" and nothing else. | |

NCIS: It's occasionally touched upon that Leroy Jethro Gibbs isn't particularly fond of his first name, such as when he refers to himself as "L. Jethro Gibbs" when recording an interrogation. He's almost always "Gibbs" or "Boss". Those who he considers to be truly close may call him "Jethro". And only those who knew him as a child may address him as "Leroy" and most of those have passed away. Recurring villain Ari Haswari responds to "Haswari" (his Arab name), but not "Ari" (his Jewish name). So Gibbs calls him "Ari" just to piss him off. |

This turns up again in The Scooby-Doo Project when Fred and Daphne keep calling him Norville to tease him. Scooby joins in on the teasing as well. Zig-zagged in Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated: After the gang disbands, Velma sternly tells Shaggy "Good night, Norville" after he breaks up with her to be Scooby's pal. |

There was a whole episode devoted to Spinelli's deep hatred of her first name, Ashley, in Recess. Although that episode was about how any girl with the first name Ashley has no choice but to join the clique of Alpha Bitches the Ashleys. Spinelli kept her first name hidden because she didn't want to be associated with them. | |

In The Wheel of Time, all of the Forsaken got new names when they turned evil and generally get angry (sometimes threatening murder) when their birth name is used. Most notably Lanfear (born Mierin). Ishmael just gets a That Man Is Dead in the prologue of the first book when his birth name is used, and Asmodean voluntarily offers his birth name. |

She sounds disapproving that she is supposed to call her social worker "Maureen", and also objects to being called "love" by a police officer. However, later, when she is in prison and has loosened up considerably, she does not mind "Irene" at all. | |

One Piece: Franky's real name is Cutty Flam. He didn't like it much as a child, since it reminded him of his parents, and Iceburg started calling him Franky after commenting that "Cutty Flam" was a weird name. After he was run over by the Sea Train and presumed dead, Franky used his real name to identify himself when he tried to meet with Iceburg seven years later, alerting the latter to his survival. Iceburg later met Franky in secret, expressed how glad he was that Franky was actually alive, and advised him to completely discard his real name since otherwise he would be arrested for attacking government officials. It's this one-time use of his real name, however, that allows CP9 to confirm his identity and deduce that Franky has the Pluton blueprints in the present after Iceburg gave them to him for safekeeping. We find out during the Whole Cake Island arc that Sanji's family name is Vinsmoke. The Vinsmoke Family are the royals of the North Blue's Germa Kingdom and are presently made up of the patriarch Judge and 4 of his children, including his daughter Reiju and 3 sons Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. Together, the 5 of them form the assassination group known as "Germa 66". In short, Sanji didn't have the best time with most of his family as a child. His own father disowns him and tells Sanji to keep the truth of their familial ties to himself. Thankfully, Reiju helped him escape, which ultimately lead to him meeting Zeff, and later, Luffy. Sanji considers Zeff as his true father and hates being referred to as "Vinsmoke", wanting nothing to do with his heritage, namely his disowned Arch Nemesis Dad Judge. Much to his dismay, his wanted poster has since been updated and now refers to him as "Vinsmoke Sanji", instead of just his given name like before. This even extends to Sanji's codename while wearing his Germa 66 Raid Suit. Officially, said codename is "Stealth Black" and happens to fit with his pirate epithet "Black Leg". In his mind, it was enough to swallow his pride to use his estranged family's tech in the first place, realizing that it'll assist him with aiding his crewmates and others as much as possible. Even so, Sanji doesn't want to be called "Stealth Black", as that would associate him with Germa 66 and their color-themed codenames. In turn, he made up a new codename, which is the less cool sounding "Soba Mask". When Sanji faces off against Queen of the Beast Pirates, who has a bit of a rivalry with Judge as a fellow scientist and former associate, Queen insists on referring to Sanji as "Judge's son" and associating him with Germa 66. Naturally, this only serves to further enrage Sanji. |

In Life of Pi, the title character is named Piscine Molitor, after a famous swimming pool. He doesn't actually mind this, except that "Piscine" sounds like "pissing," which people would maliciously or accidentally use. Eventually, on the first day of a new school year, he got his nickname by rushing to the chalkboard and drawing a pi symbol with the words "My name is Pi Patel" every time the teacher was about to call him for roll. | |

Played straight and inverted in Tekkaman Blade. At the beginning of the series, Blade claims to have forgotten his name, which leads to Noal nicknaming him D-Boy. About 20 episodes later, when the crew finds out his given name (Aiba Takaya), he insists that his name is D-boy (For about half an episode anyway before spilling the beans.) It becomes an inversion toward the end of the series when he "forgets that the Space Knights have nicknamed him "D-boy" and insists that they call him his given name". Played straight again when after defeating his brother, he sheds his given name and nickname, claiming that he is Tekkaman Blade. | |

The Bible: Saul of Tarsus is an inversion—he actually preferred to be known as Paul, the Greek translation of his name, as he realized that his calling was to Greek-speaking gentiles. Also, many Jews and some Christian denominations believe God does not like to be called "God", preferring "The Lord". And many more Jews will get quite annoyed if you try to guess His real namenote What that name actually is was lost long ago, as ancient Hebrew didn't use vowels when written; all we have left is four letters that transliterate into "YHWH" (or "YHVH" if you prefer) and call him "Yahweh" or "Jehovah". (They take the commandment "Do not take the LORD's name in vain" extremely seriously and avoid using it at all.) Ironically, this is the exact opposite of Jehovah's Witnesses, who believe God DOES like to be called by name, whether that be "Yahweh" or "Jehovah", and are slightly annoyed by the overabundant use of "The Lord" and such. |

Final Fantasy: Princess Sarisa in Final Fantasy V would much rather be called Faris, as she is far more comfortable as a pirate than she is as a princess. Judge Gabranth from Final Fantasy XII feels he no longer has any right to be called by his birth name, Noah. At some unknown point before the events of the first Final Fantasy XIII game, Claire Farron changed her name to Lightning. It's only at the end of the trilogy (consisting of XIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns) that her original name is revealed (by Lumina, who at this point reveals herself to be a Bhunivelze-removed part of Lightning). |

The Witch of Knightcharm: In a variant, the rookie witch Janet Yawkly doesn't want to be called by her last name for reasons unknown. However, an older witch named Lauren bullies her by forcing everyone to call her 'Yawkly,' and because of the way the evil Wizarding School they attend is set up, nobody can disagree with Lauren unless they're wiling to fight her in a lethal Wizard Duel. Lauren is one of the school's top fighters and so everyone winds up calling Janet by the last name against her wishes. And then a bully in Yawkly's class made things even worse by just calling her 'Yawk.' | |

When the next scene cuts in, Bubbles addresses him with a pleasant, "Can I do the gears, Shitty?" Then again, Bubbles only said not to call him Shitty Bill, so maybe it's the Bill part that he finds offensive. | |

He makes it clear to everyone that you are not to call him by his birth name "Norman". Anthony Cumia of Opie & Anthony once told a story where he got into an argument with Esiason back when they were in middle school, and after Anthony called him "Norman" during it to annoy him, Esiason challenged him to a fight.

The Incredible Hulk: This seems to be a recurring theme with Gamma mutates. Calling The Hulk "Bruce" is a good way to end up on the receiving end of the worst beat down of your life. Justified, though, as they really are separate people inhabiting sort of the same body. And they do not like each other. In the same vein, Joe Fixit doesn't like to be called "Hulk", and neither does the Doc Omega personality, who sees the name Hulk as something pushed on him. And the Maestro hates to called Hulk or Banner. In Immortal Hulk, when someone calls that Hulk "Banner", he asks "Are you trying to piss me off?" Hulk’s Arch-Enemy The Leader has a slightly different issue. His dead name, Samuel Sterns, is a huge Berserk Button because it serves as a reminder that before gaining super-intelligence, he was just a normal person. |

Despite what some smarks think, the names you hear on TV are what they are called in real life. This was spoofed on Celebrity Deathmatch where a demon mocked The Undertaker by calling him Mark. It was also alluded to during the Ministry of Darkness angle when Vince McMahon said that "Mark" had begun to think his gimmick was real.note This was probably a bit of an inside joke for the smart fans, as "mark" is wrestling slang for a fan that believes wrestling is 100% real Averted in a non-Deadman angle with Undertaker in 2002 involving his wife and a woman who claimed to have had an affair with him (and later confessed to being paid off by nemesis Paul Heyman to tell that lie); both women referred to him as "Mark" throughout the storyline. | |

Mac from The Fourth Stall hates being called by his real name, Christian. He doesn't take it well when Staples, his rival, calls him by it. Likewise, Staples is extremely put out by Mac calling him Barry (though that was more shock at Mac having found out the truth). | |

In the book of Lark Rise to Candleford, this is mentioned regarding the Pratt sisters, Pearl (nee Prudence) and Ruby (nee Ruth). In the TV series, a whole episode was devoted to the way Dorcas Lane found this out, and was therefore able to deliver some letters from their father, which she had previously put to one side as undeliverable. | |

After the event that gives everyone emotions, he begins calling himself "Colonel Beck" and explodes in rage on being called anything else. This is because he regained the memories of his original life before anyone else did; before the events that created the Junkyard, he was Colonel Terence E. Beck. | |

In Anne of Avonlea, one of Anne's students introduces himself on the first day of school as "Jacob." Only later does Anne learn that he's actually named St. Clair, and his mother is very insistent that Anne call him by that name. Anne and her student soon reach a compromise: she, as his teacher, is allowed to call him St. Clair - but if any of his classmates uses the name, he'll beat them up. And in a Call-Back later in the series, an adult Jacob has managed to cast off the name "St. Clair" entirely, with even his mother coming round. |

Inverted with Blue Suede Heartstrings in Codex Equus. Much like Elvis Presley, the person he was based on, he hated being called "the King" because, due to his religious upbringing, he believes that there's a higher power (speculated to be the god Equus) who's far more deserving of being called "the King". He also hated being called "the King [of Music/Rock and Roll]" because he doesn't see himself as an "inventor" of the Rock and Roll genre as many people believe; he merely took inspiration from Earth pony music and created his own style. In fact, he believes there are many Earth pony musicians who (in his mind) could sing better than him, such as Black Domino, whom he idolized. It takes bringing herself back from the dead after being killed by Queen Dark Crystal, fusing with her friends to become Fairytale, the Alicorn goddess of Virtue, and being worshiped by Ponies for it for Melody of the 'Tales Seven' to realize exactly how Blue feels about his epithet. | |

Igor, who was friends with said sorcerer in the past, is apparently familiar enough with his opinion of it to say "Don't call him that!" when William uses the name while trying to pass on the other man's warning. After learning her real name in the final chapter of Goblins on the Prowl, Fauna still prefers to go by "Fauna" rather than Gertrude. |

Doctor Who: The Doctor has spent over 1200 years only going by their nickname, with only River (and Clara in a negated timeline) thus far discovering their true name, which has not been revealed to the audience. Why they gave up their name and chose the name "The Doctor" has only been hinted as being because of some terrible secret. Also, "the Doctor" is more than just a name. It's a promise ("never cruel or cowardly; never give up, never give in"). Clara makes an impassioned speech to the other Time Lords that "The Doctor" really is their name at this point, because they have always lived up to that promise. And inverted with the War Doctor, who renounced calling himself the Doctor because he felt by taking part in the Last Great Time War, he'd renounced the right to call himself that. Of note, however, he never seemed to come up with an alternative title. In his Big Finish audio dramas, calling him "Doctor" is a good way to get him properly angry ... which Cardinal Olistra has observed means it's also the best way of getting his attention (since she doesn't care if he's angry or not). Ace, whose given name is Dorothy Gale McShane. "That's how I knew they couldn't be my real mum and dad. My real mum and dad would never have given me a naff name like Dorothy." In a couple of the Big Finish audio stories, she even swears off "Ace" for a while, insisting that the Doctor call her "McShane" or "Dorothy". However, since both of those instances are times where she's quite pissed off at the Doctor, she goes back to Ace once she gets over it. "Closing Time": One-year-old baby Alfie prefers the name Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All. Being a baby, he can't exactly tell his parents this; the Doctor finds this out because he speaks Baby. |

In Oh God, Not Again!, only three people are allowed to call Tonks by her birth name Nymphadora. Two of them are Charlie and Cedric because she lost a bet to each of them (and doesn't make such bets anymore, no matter how often Harry asks). Remus can call her that as well, though the significance of it escapes him at first. | |

Son Goku of Dragon Ball will always insist that his name is not Kakarot. While Kakarot is indeed his birth name, he was unaware of his Saiyan heritage until his mid 20s, so... He does eventually accept Vegeta calling him this, probably because he knows Vegeta is too stubborn to stop if asked. Indeed, Vegeta makes something of a point of always calling him "Kakarot", as he feels that Goku should be proud of his Saiyan heritage. If Vegeta refers to him by his Earth name, it's a sign that he's Not Himself. (This however only happens in dubs; he always calls him "Kakarotto" in Japanese.) The only canonical time when Goku denied his birth name was when he learned from his heritage from Raditz, his older brother he never heard about, and he's absolutely terrified and disgusted by the viciousness of the Saiyan race he might have been belonging to. It's natural for Goku to reject his heritage at that point, since he didn't want anything to do with it. The non-canon movies, particularly movie 3 and movie 4 brought this up again, where Goku claimed to be an Earthling rather than a Saiyan and he kept telling Turles that his name is Goku, not Kakarot. Dragon Ball Super: Broly marks the first time ever in the franchise Goku introduces himself as also Kakarot. Goku introduces himself to Broly once they start to form a friendship at the very end of the movie, this is such a big deal there's even a theme tune to put emphasis on Goku fully accepting his Saiyan name, as such name now carries the good legacy of his good Saiyan parents Bardock and Gine, not of a bloodthirsty race anymore. It's also a Mythology Gag to the non-canon Broly's tendency to only say "Kakarot" and nothing else. |

Last Son: Similarly, Clark and Lois Lane's adopted Kryptonian son, Chris Kent, tells his evil and abusive birth parents not to call him by his Kryptonian name, Lor-Zod. |

One season of Hell's Kitchen had a contestant named Robert; when Chef Ramsay called him "Bobby" once, he got surprisingly angry. As he later explained in the Confession Cam (and to Ramsay after the service), Bobby was the name of his father, a cruel man who told Robert that he would never amount to anything, making it obvious why the name offended him. After hearing the explanation, Ramsay apologized and promised not to use that name anymore. | |

Edge once mentioned in an interview that the reason he didn't like to be called his real name by fans is that the fans only know Edge, the wrestling character. They aren't familiar with the person who portrays said character. He has since changed his attitude after his first retirement from wrestling, preferring his real name when it comes to things not directly involving wrestling, such as his acting career. Now an Averted Trope, he left WWE in 2023 and doesn't own the rights to the name Edge, so he's billed as Adam Copeland in wrestling too. He's currently working for AEW. |

Fenris from Dragon Age II was a name given to him by his master, Danarius, after Fenris received the lyrium markings on his skin, which had effectively wiped his memory. Fenris goes around Kirkwall using his new name, not remembering his birth name (Leto) up until moments before it's used by his long-lost sister, Varania, who showed up with Danarius to drag him back to Tevinter. The encounter goes so poorly that Fenris wants nothing to do with his past, including his original name. | |

Rodney McKay of Stargate Atlantis tried to hide the fact that his first name is actually Meredith… it only got out because of his sister, who persistently calls him by it. There's one episode where he meets an alternate version of himself known as Rod. McKay complains that he was never able to get anyone to call him Rod. | |

Barely anyone obliges him. As Miles Edgeworth puts it, "a Butz by any other name would smell just as much". | |

In the Star Wars Legends novel Darth Plagueis we learn that Palpatine hated his father so much that he dropped his first name, becoming known only by his surname. He is strongly implied to have been born Cosinga Palpatine II. Unlike most examples of this trope, however, no one in the Star Wars universe seems to know him as anything other than simply "Palpatine" (or Darth Sidious). Averted by the new Star Wars Expanded Universe, where Sheev Palpatine has no stated dislike of his first name. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Albireo Imma adopted the name "Ku:Nel Sanders" for the Mahora Budokai, and liked it so much that every appearance of his afterwards, he refused to reply to his real name. (In Japanese, "Ku-neru" is a combination verb for "eat" and "sleep," plus the added "Sanders" and every time his name is said in its entirety you see the KFC Guy...) Then there's Fate Averruncus, who apparently loathes his real name: "Tertium". |

The comments about a dog are a play on the fact that Indy is named after George Lucas's dog, an Alaskan malamute that was also the inspiration of Chewbacca due to his size and the fact that he would sit upright in the passenger seat like a copilot. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull also reveals that Mutt is not very fond of his given name: Henry Jones III. |

Star Trek: Voyager's Seven of Nine was born Annika Hansen, but resists being called that. Unless it's by her Aunt Irene. In Star Trek: Picard, multiple villains have independently adopted an unsettling habit of calling her Annika, while the good guys stick with Seven. In Season 3, her commanding officer Captain Shaw also calls her Commander Hansen, helping to mark him as a Jerkass. It's probably because he's a Shell-Shocked Veteran of Wolf 359, and as such refuses to call her by a Borg name. Seven puts up with it for a while, but eventually demands he use her real name. | |

Walt Junior on Breaking Bad went through a period where he only respond to "Flynn". He gave up on this around the same time that Skyler (his mother) kicked Walt, Sr. out for that whole breaking bad thing. Once he started idealizing his father and resenting his mother, he went back to Walt Jr. In season five, he gets fed up with the way both parents refuse to tell him what's going on and switches back to Flynn. | |

Heroes of The Matrix usually reject their deadnames, as remnants of their life spent inside the mental prison of the Matrix itself and adopt new single names, like Trinity, or Neo, or Switch. Agent Smith coolly tells our hero "Goodbye, Mr. Anderson" as he holds our hero in a headlock, in front of an arriving express train. As his ultimate gesture of rejecting the Matrix, Neo angrily growls "My name... is Neo!" and proceeds to kick the evil program's ass. Agent Smith keeps calling him "Mr. Anderson" right up until the end. When he finally calls him "Neo", it's significant for several reasons and actually unnerves Agent Smith himself. |

In Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines Velvet Velour's real name can be revealed if you play a Malkavian. She doesn't wish to be called Susan however, stating that that girl is dead. Since she's a vampire that is true. | |

In Coffee & Cat, Peaberry doesn't like her name and insists on being called Myu-Myu, while Bourbon hates his name and wants to be called Anthony Ewan Valentine. Unfortunately for them, Kon doesn't want to be called a freak for his ability to talk to cats, so he can only make minor suggestions that the Tachikawas don't particularly care for. | |

Gou from Free! does not want people to be called by her first name (due to being a boy's name) and prefers to be called Kou, as it sounds more feminine. Apparently, she has taken this trope as her catchphrase. | |

Many members of Rammstein. Paul Landers' birth name is Heiko Paul Hiersche; he first decided to go by his middle name and then took his (now divorced) wife's surname, making an interesting case where you should call him Paul. Flake Lorenz doesn't like his given name, Christian, and has declared that Flake is his proper name. Christoph Schneider usually goes by either "Doom" or his last name. And Oliver Riedel just goes by Ollie. | |

Cobra Kai: Eli, an ostracized nerd with a scar on his lip, changed his name to Hawk (along with getting a mohawk and tattoos) after joining Cobra Kai. He angrily corrects anyone who calls him by his previous name, and entered the All-State Karate Championships under the name Hawk (with no last name). | |
