Similar to Embarrassing Middle Name and Embarrassing Last Name, this trope covers instances when a character has a first name that they don't like to be called by. Such characters use a variety of tactics to avoid their real first name:
Getting a nickname (often one that hints at their embarrassing name).
Picking a new first name.
Claiming their middle name is their first name.
Insisting that everyone call them by their last name.
This does not necessarily need to cross Unfortunate Names territory. Most of the time, the first name is a very normal one that only sounds embarrassing to the bearer, especially if the bearer is trying to be intimidating or respected but has a too humble name; when this applies to a villain, see Tom the Dark Lord. A Giver of Lame Names causes this. Who Names Their Kid "Dude"? is a frequent cause as well. If people continue to call the character by that first name anyway, it may lead to a Do Not Call Me "Paul" scenario.
Compare Real Joke Name, and Fluffy the Terrible. Contrast Awesome McCoolname.

Sleepless Domain: Heartful Punch considers her real name, Kokoro, embarrassing because of how cute it sounds — for all the pink and hearts that adorn her Magical Girl outfit, she's a Tomboy brawler to the core. She prefers to go by her magical girl title Heartful Punch, or HP for short. The only person she's given explicit permission to use it is Undine. Not even the other members of the Magical Girl Power Training Club, who HP is otherwise closest to, ever use it, and react in shock when Undine calls her by "the Forbidden Name".

In the continuity reboot of The Wild Storm, the not-yet-appeared Grunge's name comes from the fact his mother was a big fan of King Arthur, and wanted to name all her kids after the Knights of the Round Table. Fortunately, she only had two. Her husband's killer regards the fact that Grunge's dad named him Percival a greater horror than the man trying to squish his brain.

Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam has a male lead named Kamille, who naturally hates his feminine-sounding name. He eventually falls in love with a girl named Four, who has similar issues with her name (in her case, because it signifies that she is a number rather than an individual). In fact, the entire reason Kamille got involved in the war between the AEUG and Titans is because he assaulted a Titans soldier (his future Rival Jerid Mesa) who remarked on his name and got arrested for it.

On Desperate Housewives, Mike and Susan name their son Maynard, after Mike's deceased grandfather. Susan's not happy about this and would have preferred Connor, afraid for what her poor son will have to suffer through in school. They compromise by calling him MJ (the 'J' standing for "James", the name of Mike's other grandfather).

In The Witchlands, Cam considers "Camilla" to be one. Merik initially assumes that's because she doesn't want anyone to know she's a girl, but it turns out it's because Cam's transgender and doesn't want to be referred to by a very traditional female name.

Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics): Sonic's name is revealed to be a nickname. Sonic is embarrassingly referred to by his father as "Maurice". It is quickly revealed to be merely his middle name, and Sonic interrupts his father before he can give his son's birth name, implying that it's unspeakably worse. Ken Penders has revealed that he planned on it being Ogilvie.

The World Ends with You:
"Beat"'s true first name, "Daisukenojo", is so stupid, Neku wasn't even able to recognize it as a name when he first heard it (he thought 777 was cursing at Beat). What's especially painful for him is that it's just a more sucky version of the perfectly nice Japanese name "Daisuke". Had his parents just held back the last two kana, they would have saved him a lot of suffering.
Resident Manipulative Bastard Mr. Kitaniji counts as well. His first name is Megumi, which is a unisex name, but it's more typically used as a girl's name than as a boy's. The manga based upon the game goes further, implying that the childhood trauma of being teased for having a girl's name was one of the driving reason behind Kitaniji's ultimate goal.

Ranma ½ actually uses this as a plot point for one character: one Chinese village has a tradition that the person who gives a newborn baby its first bath must be the one to name it. Unfortunately, this gave panty stealing pervert Happosai the chance to name a baby, and since he loves women's garments so much he thought that the perfect name for a little boy would be Pantyhose-Taro. Unsurprisingly, Pantyhose-Taro hates his name, and is on a constant quest to force Happosai to give him a new one, since Happosai is the only one who can change it. Unfortunately, his own choice of replacement first names aren't much better.

Good Luck Charlie: PJ's first name was meant to be Patty John, after his grandfather. However it turns out he's legally named Potty John on his birth certificate due to his father being so nervous he couldn't write the name properly. PJ points out how he's named after two words for toilets.
Bob then goes to get it corrected. But deja vu happens, and PJ's legal name becomes "PP Duncan".

K has Misaki Yata and Saruhiko Fushimi (Saru means "monkey"), who allow each other to use those names, and very few others... of course, once they become enemies, they use the names to taunt each other, though it maintains an air of intimacy and a suggestion that they will someday get back together.

In Sluggy Freelance, there is:
Riffington (a.k.a Riff).
Torg, who fully intends to continue the tradition by naming his first son or daughter "Zorg", despite already anticipating his child's complaining.
The God of Destruction was originally named Kozoaku, but his true name has been changed twice to make it harder to summon him. The second time he is renamed, Gwynn chooses "Poopypants", much to his annoyance.
There is also Slaughteresa, who's mother presumably wanted it to be a Meaningful Name. Slaughteresa herself prefers to just be called Teresa.

Bleach: Ichigo. Sure, the kanji reading amounts to "protects one thing" but the name is also homonymous with "strawberry" (and his hair is orange). Even worse, it's also a girl's name. It doesn't help him maintain a badass image. Characters and even the manga-ka in chapter titles are not above exploiting this. He's even called "Berry-tan" to his face by Mashiro. Lampshaded when he first meets Ikkaku who takes note of his name because they share "Ichi-" as part of the name, concluding it's an awesome, lucky omen for both of them. Ichigo observes that he's not used to that kind of reaction when admitting what his name is.

Late in the show's run, Vera reveals that Norm's first name is Hillary; not only did the name sound embarrassing, but he was also named after his grandfather who "once killed a man for laughing at him". (When Cliff asks him if that story about his grandfather is true, Norm replies, "Not exactly – he was a surgeon and he sort of botched an operation.")
Carla's boyfriend Eddie's real name is Guy. Pronounced "Ghee".
In one episode Carla's mother insists that Carla follow the family tradition of naming one of her sons after her (Carla's) father with her mother's maiden as the middle name. Problem: Carla's father's name was Benito and her mother's maiden name was Mussolini. In the end her son Gino agrees to change his name legally, while keeping Gino as a nickname.

Milhouse Van Houten from The Simpsons, named after Richard Milhous Nixon. It was the most unfortunate name Matt Groening could think of for a kid.
In the episode where Lisa learns Italian, his middle name is revealed to be Mussolini.
The first name of school bully Jimbo Jones is revealed to be "Corky" in one episode. Another episode has Nelson calling him by the far less embarrassing and more justifiable "James." That Other Wiki and a few other resources, however, show Jimbo's full name as "Conrad James Jones."

Sound! Euphonium has a character named Sapphire who's embarrassed by it, but the reason isn't due to the name itself. Her name is a cutesy "kira-kira name", which means the pronunciation is different than the kanji would imply. It's written ç·‘è¼� — the kanji for "green" and "shining", which can be read in multiple waysnote the on reading is "Ryokuki", which her teacher initially goes with, while the kun reading could be taken as "Midoriteru" — but it's pronounced "Safaia", like the English word. Because of the confusion this causes, she prefers to just be called "Midori", the first kanji.

Lupe dy Cazaril, the protagonist of The Curse of Chalion. The book has a fantasy setting where naming conventions aren't quite as we know them, but it's clear that "Lupe" is considered embarrassing In-Universe both because the protagonist doesn't use it unless he has to and because of the other characters' reactions when it does come out. It means "wolf" and people used to make fun of him by howling like wolves.

Dragon Ball:
In the original Japanese version of Dragon Ball (the original), Bulma hesitatingly says her name when Goku asks what it is. This is because she originally thought her name was embarrassing because of what it sounded like (in the manga; in the anime, Goku just though it was a "funny name"). All of this got lost in both the Vancouver dub and in Funimation's redub. In the original, Bulma is called Buruma, which is a Japanese pronunciation of "bloomers", a type of women's underwear (compare her son Trunks, her daughter Bra/Bulla, and her father Dr. Briefs).
Then Dragon Ball Z introduces Goku's original name, Kakarot, used for his original purpose, when he was sent to Earth to cleanse all life from it. He rejected that name after rejecting his mission, but Vegeta and a few villains still refer to him by that name, even though he'd rather they not. Come the end of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, he tells Broly that it’s okay to call him by that name, however.

Harry Potter:
Nymphadora Tonks, "who prefers to be known by her surname only" ("So would you if your fool of a mother had called you 'Nymphadora'"). While her mother Andromeda presumably uses this first name, and her father and husband call her "Dora," everyone else uses Tonks.
Voldemort's actual name, Tom Marvolo Riddle, also counts as he has a very common first name and dislikes anything that makes him common. His real name is also a constant reminder of his Muggle heritage, something he really wants to distance himself from.
Harry's grandfather was named Fleamont, which was his great-grandmother's maiden name. She didn't want the name to die out. According to supplemental material, people made fun of his name so much that he became an extremely accomplished dueler by the time he left Hogwarts.

In "Son of Rumpelstiltskin", the titular character goes through the same motions as his father. The princess admits defeat, but demands to know what his name is before she hands her child over. He realizes he doesn't know and spends the rest of the short trying to find out. When he discovers his name is "Rumpelstiltskin", he's too embarrassed to go back and claim his prize.

Dr. Cox of Scrubs has the first name Perry. This isn't notable (and probably not said) until you know that he hates apparently 'gay' names like Quinn or, well, Perry.
His first name is actually revealed to be Percival, for which Perry is short. His full name is Percival Ulysses Cox.

Dicebox: Molly's first (and legal) name is Benecia.

In Attack on Titan, it turns out that "Porco" is not an Affectionate Nickname for Galliard, but his first name. He understandably dislikes it and prefers being addressed to as "Galliard". Pieck is the only one who continues to address him as "Porco" despite him telling her to stop calling him that many times.

Theodor Fontane's Der Stechlin has two examples.
Dubslav von Stechlin, the main character, hates his first name because it is a name atypical of Brandenburg (the province of Prussia in which he lives) and typical of the neighbouring province of Pomerania.
Czech supporting character Nils Wrschowitz dislikes his first name partly because it is Northern Germanic and does not fit with his Slavic surname, but more importantly because his father named him after the 19th-century Danish composer Nils Gade, whom he, as a very pronounced Wagnerian, has come to detest. Wrschowitz thus went to the effort of earning a doctorate in music so that he could print "Dr. Wrschowitz" on his calling-cards without the embarrassing first name. In the novel, he is shown so touchy about his first name that people are advised not to mention anything or anybody Scandinavian in his presence as he will suspect you of obliquely reminding him of his Danish first name!

In the YA vampire novel Team Human, the protagonist, Mel, tells us fairly early that her name is not short for Melanie and she's not going to tell us what it is short for, except that it was arrived at in the same spirit of experimentation that saw her brother named "Lancelot". Eventually, her best friend gives her a Full-Name Ultimatum and reveals it to be Mellifluous.

An affadavit later shows his full name as "Louie M. Provenza".
Peter Falk gave the same answer when asked what Columbo's first name was. (A close-up of a badge seen in the second episode reveals it to be "Frank", though this wasn't clear until the show came out on DVD.)

To make things worse, his middle name is Leakey (after Louis Leakey, the famous anthropologist his father used to work with - nothing to do with his history of bed-wetting).
Also, Sheldon's father apparently thought this about Sheldon.

In Origins, a Mass Effect/Star Wars/Borderlands/Halo Massive Multiplayer Crossover, a villain is introduced as "The Lady," a mysterious figure who exerts power over Cerberus and other less-than-upright individuals by providing them with advanced technology. This person has immense power, wielding a combination of Siren abilities and the Dark Side of the Force. Her name (in an Aerith and Bob setting)? Sarah. It turns out this has special meaning from her creators, "Selfless Servant of the (Eridian/Forerunner) Mantle", that just happens to translate, but still... Played for Laughs several times, though she accepts it over time and other characters stop teasing her about it.

In Terra Ignota, Mycroft comments early on that while his own first name used to be one of the most common (presumably due to Sherlock Holmes fans), his past conduct made it so that it lost popularity and people named Mycroft are inclined to go by other names in public, like Mycroft Guildbreaker going by Martin Guildbreaker instead. Once the reader learns that Mycroft's a serial killer, this makes a lot of sense.

DuckTales (2017):
Hubert, Dewford and Llewelyn Duck are the given names of Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck. Though only Louie seems to be incredibly embarrassed by his.
Originally their names were going to be Jet, Turbo and Rebel before their mother Della disappeared before they hatched. One can argue whether the names Della had chosen, or the names Donald went for once he became their legal guardian, are more embarrassing.

Tech Infantry has Andrea Treschi. It's a guy, but he's not too concerned about the name. On the other hand, there's Corporal Tess. Corporal Reichenspurger Tess, whose parents moved from a planet that followed the Asian custom of "family name first" to one that followed the Western custom of "family name last". The bureaucrat processing their paperwork screwed hers up, so she just has everyone call her by her "last" name.

Gen¹³: Grunge has the unenviable first name Percival. He doesn't like his middle name, Edmund, much either — he goes by "Eddy" at times but he mostly prefers the name "Grunge."
In the continuity reboot of The Wild Storm, the not-yet-appeared Grunge's name comes from the fact his mother was a big fan of King Arthur, and wanted to name all her kids after the Knights of the Round Table. Fortunately, she only had two. Her husband's killer regards the fact that Grunge's dad named him Percival a greater horror than the man trying to squish his brain.

Fox Mulder of The X-Files once told Scully that he made his parents call him Mulder. Interestingly, his middle name is the perfectly normal William. When his parents actually show up, though, they call him Fox — in fact pretty much everyone but Scully and the Lone Gunmen calls him Fox occasionally, and he never seems to have a problem with it.

No one in the Brotherhood of Steel (not even in the Lyon's Pride ) knows his real name, to the point where there's a large betting pool for whoever finds the name.

In Mass Effect 3, Jacob Taylor (assuming he survived the second game) is starting a family. Since you saved their lives, his girlfriend wants to name the baby after you. The problem is, your first name is player chosen, so the baby's name would end up as Shepard Taylor.
According to the Mass Effect Datapad App, the poor kid's name ended up being even worse since Brynn instead opted to name her after Admiral Hackett. Hopefully, Jacob was able to talk her out of naming their daughter Hackett Taylor.
Since Shepard's first name is player-chosen, and thus never spoken by any of the cast, the player could invoke this trope by giving their Shepard a truly embarrassing first name (and given the senses of humor of most gamers, it's probably happened more often than not.)

In the Shaman King fic Oversoul, Kali's spirit guardian's name is Chikushou. It sounds and is even spelled like a Japanese swear word. As a result, she usually just goes by Chi.

From Gunnerkrigg Court, George Parley. It's embarrassing because she's a girl. Her father was a famous psychic who filled out the birth certificate before she was even born and got everything right except the gender, but they found the whole thing so funny that they didn't bother to change it.

The Blyndeff siblings in Epithet Erased. While never stated in the show or books themselves, side material and Word of God states that Molly is actually short for "Molly-Wolly-Doodle-All-the-Day", while Lorelai is short for "Lorelinebacker".

Fallout
In Fallout 3 there's an NPC soldier who uses the code name "Captain Gallows". No one in the Brotherhood of Steel (not even in the Lyon's Pride ) knows his real name, to the point where there's a large betting pool for whoever finds the name. If the player has a high enough speech skill then they can convince him to reveal that his real name is Irving.
In Fallout: New Vegas DLC Honest Hearts, if you ask Joshua Graham on the origins of Caesar's Legion he'll mention Caesar's real name: Edward Sallow.

In KonoSuba, Darkness absolutely hates her real first name Lalatina. At one point Kazuma threatens to do something so horrible and embarrassing to her that it'll make her want to die of shame — a real feat considering she's a hardcore masochist who literally gets off on being insulted and humiliated. Naturally, what he meant was revealing her real name to all their friends, and when they praise her heroism ("Three cheers for Lalatina!") she actually curls up and wishes herself dead.

An episode of Mushi Shi features this. During it, Ginko meets a man who is determined to capture a rainbow. He tells Ginko that his father was actually able to touch a rainbow once and even took it home, where it remained until it disappeared. As a result, he became obsessed with finding it again and became extremely excited whenever it was going to rain. He even named his son after the Rainbow. His name became the source of ridicule for him growing up. His father apologized on his deathbed and wrote down a new name for his son to use before explaining that he was only trying to name him after something precious to him. His son refuses the new name and ultimately finds the Mushi.

In the series finale of Boy Meets World, Mr. Feeny reveals that "Cory" is actually short for a much more embarrassing name. Fortunately, none of the other characters are around to hear it.
Another episode showed Feeny knowing the real name of professional wrestler Vader as Leslie (although it's actually Leon in Real Life...) Amy Matthews also refers to him as Francis at one point, and he doesn't correct her.
And, of course, there's Topanga.

Cartoon or comic, Will Vandom of W.I.T.C.H. can never escape her real name. In the comics, it's "Wilhelmina" and in the first episode of the cartoon, it's revealed to be "Wilma". The comics made an example when Will flipped out over her relatives calling her baby brother (named William) "Will"... and then, they all started calling her "Wilhelmina" once they found out her real name, much to her displeasure.

The Mmmmmmmmmporg from Wakfu is a nigh-unstoppable, super fast and strong behemoth of a man who was considered a living weapon to unleash against a rival city, able to move so fast he leaves a stream of fire behind. All of this is fine and dandy until we learn that his actual name is Marilyn, which makes the entire stadium he's in burst into prolonged roaring laughter. Unfortunately, said laughter makes him go into an Unstoppable Rage.

Archie Comics:
Jughead and Jellybean Jones are named Forsythe and Forsythia respectively. In one story, Jughead goes out of his way to keep Jellybean's name from being revealed to the public via billboard, and both characters have had stories where people who try to call them by their real names ended up with misfortune. Oddly, in Jughead's case, his distaste for his name is partly because any girl who hears it thinks it's suave and romantic and starts chasing him. Even odder, Reggie seems to suffer a string of continuous bad luck whenever he mentions Jellybean's real name, making him warn everybody not to say it, thinking it's a curse.
In the first comic Archie insists on being called "Chick" instead of "Archibald" or "Archie". This is never mentioned again.

Tintin: The first name of Captain Haddock is only mentioned once (in the last finished album, no less). The Captain gets momentary amnesia after getting hit on the head, and when told by Tintin that his first name is Archibald, he snarks and says that the name is ridiculous. This might explain why nobody ever calls him by his first name otherwise. (Then again, few people get called by their first name in the series, except Tintin, who doesn't seem to have any other name, and minor characters like Igor, Irma, and Allan.)

Otacon from Metal Gear Solid prefers to be addressed by his nickname, as he claims to dislike his actual name, "Hal". Somehow being named after the supercomputer from 2001: A Space Odyssey is more embarrassing than choosing the abbreviation for "Otaku Convention" as your nickname. Go figure.
Ironically, as soon as he becomes romantically attracted to Naomi Hunter in MGS4, he insists that she call him Hal. Which she does.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy XII: Balthier's true name is eventually revealed to be Ffamran mied Bunansa. It's not clear whether he considers it embarrassing because he hates his father or because the name itself simply sounds stupid even in a fantasy world where the likes of Penelo and Vaan are real names.
World of Final Fantasy has espers' names parsed as "[Race Name] [Personal Name]". Consequently, Bahamut Tiababylo roaring at Hauyn for calling him by his personal name falls under this trope.

The Fairly OddParents!:
In "Fairly Odd Baby", Cosmo and Wanda throughout the episode give different possible names for their baby (not finding out the sex until the very end). Initially pregnant Cosmo wants to name it "Barf-olemew" due to his constant morning sickness.
One name quip after the baby is born:
In "Anti-Poof", since the first fairy baby is named Poof, his anti-fairy version is named Foop. Foop comments multiple times that he hates his name.
In "Polter-geeks", we learn that Mr. Turner's name was "Mom" when he was younger. Given that, the fact that his nickname was "Dad" as a kid makes perfect sense. Mrs. Turner's name, "Barnaby", is at least a little better, and Mr. Turner thought her name was beautiful.
"Dimmsdale Tales" gives us a hint that Mr. Turner's current name is embarrassing for him. When Timmy tells two stories about characters named Cosmo and Wanda, his dad criticizes him for using the same name twice. Timmy renames them to Carlsbad and Wandalin, and Timmy's dad says they're stupid names.

Rocky and Bullwinkle's "Fractured Fairy Tales" has a segment about a young girl named Tussinelda Wolfenpinkle, "but she had such lovely gold curls that everybody called her Goldilocks, which was probably just as well."
In "Son of Rumpelstiltskin", the titular character goes through the same motions as his father. The princess admits defeat, but demands to know what his name is before she hands her child over. He realizes he doesn't know and spends the rest of the short trying to find out. When he discovers his name is "Rumpelstiltskin", he's too embarrassed to go back and claim his prize.

Security Officer V. Stelmach from Deathstalker. Much speculation on behalf of Captain John Silence and Investigator Frost as to what the V Stands for. Turns out it stands for "Valiant," and he's somewhat ashamed that he hasn't lived up to his name, ending up only a Security Officer (rather like a political officer.) His similarly-named siblings have all made much greater strides towards living up to their names than he has.

In Oshi no Ko, Ai Hoshino named her twin children Aquamarine and Ruby. Aquamarine is really not thrilled with his first name — he even envies his sister Ruby for having a somewhat more generic name — so he usually goes by "Aqua" instead.

In an episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog, Muriel is kidnapped and forced to make kilts for a gnome-like man. Eventually, Courage discovers that the guy hates both his first and last names: Rumpled Kiltskin. When Muriel finds out about this, she suggests he legally change his name, suggesting "Rumplestiltskin". The guy actually thinks that's a good idea, and suggests the two become business partners. It Makes Just as Much Sense in Context, as much as the show does in general.

Mervyn, the Sheriff of Rottingham from Robin Hood: Men in Tights. It's revealed during his wedding, and the officiant is the first to giggle at the nerdy name.
Another character's family had their last name changed to Latrine before the movie took place. It used to be Shithouse.
Funny enough, this was asked by Prince John; due to his actions, the King has declared that all the toilets in the kingdom are to be renamed "Johns".

The male lead in David Palmer's Emergence tells the narrator, with a suggestive smirk, "Just call me Adam." She thinks that's pretty cheesy (they're both eleven years old), but doesn't blame him nearly so much after she finds out his parents christened him "Melville Winchester Higginbotham Grosvenor Penobscot-Jones IV."

Hisui Hearts of Tales of Hearts, whose name is a girl's in Japanese and translates to the equally feminine "Jade". For some reason, Hisui himself is only called out on this passingly (in a sidequest where the revelation of his name tears down a badass bruiser image he'd built), and his predecessor Jade Curtiss in Tales of the Abyss not at all.

In Shadow Star, Shiina Tamai writes her first name in katakana (phonetic characters) because she hates the kanji used for it, which is read as "empty husk" or "a seed that shall never sprout". It actually becomes a critical plot point near the end of the manga.

Uncle Phil from Mad About You thought he was dying and made the Buchmans promise to name their first son after him. He then revealed that his real first name was "Deuteronomy". He didn't hold them to their promise.
When his "dying" proved to be a false alarm, he revealed that his reasoning was sound if a little odd-Deuteronomy is such an unusual name that there would never be any of the confusion in child identification that so plagues the parents who were foolish enough to name their child "Joe".
Later they ended up naming their daughter Mabel, which could be argued was a lateral move at best (at least their relatives were very disappointed when learning about the chosen name).

And even then, only after a fair amount of coaxing from Charlie and it is immediately followed by Boss making him swear to never tell anyone on the off chance they live.

In Bakugan Dan's last name is "Kuso". "Kuso" essentially means "shit". It's odd since the series is Japanese so they should know what it means, and it's a kid show at that. note Although Japan is very lax with strong interjections and seems to have little if any concept of "cuss words". You can find various words that translate to "damn" and "shit" used in children's anime quite often.

In one of the Evil Council videos, he has a dream where some of his greatest wishes come true: among them, Florence being voted one of the manliest names ever. (This is the result of 'Ascended Fanon', as Bakura only mentioned that his parents wanted to call him 'Florence,' but the fans just latched onto it.)

Blaise, assigned to Kirk to rein him in after a number of high-profile interstellar incidents in quick succession. It's never revealed during her original appearance what "R. J." stands for, though when she whispers it to Uhura while the pair are relaxing on shore leave, it's made clear to be quite embarrassing, with Uhura trying hard not to laugh. It's finally revealed by Kirk (whom she told it to off-camera during a tryst) when she returns a number of years later in a story in Star Trek Special #1: Raspberry Jam. Hilariously, the name was the result of a reader contest run by the series editors.

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander has a few examples:
As if "Percy" wasn't silly enough, Lord John's lover/stepbrother in Lord John and the Brotherhood of the Blade isn't actually named Percival, but Perseverance.
In An Echo In The Bone, we meet brothers Herman and Vermin. This trope is speculated upon. A little more excusable given that they are in actuality the sisters Hermione and Ermintrude. And in A Breath Of Snow And Ashes, Roger christens a little girl, who the family names in his honor... Rogerina.

Kaitou Saint Tail has Rosemary, whose real name is "Kabako Sendo", something she considers to be an embarrassing name because "Kabako" can theoretically be read as "baby hippopotamus". Emphasis on the theoretically, because Rosemary herself is the only person who thinks this is embarrassing; not only are most people not likely to make this connection without it being directly pointed out, her name is also written with kanji that makes it hard to even figure out how it's read to begin with. Most people are baffled or at least startled as to why seeing her name even so much as written down by accident is such a Berserk Button for her, all while she throws a tantrum and takes out Disproportionate Retribution because she believes she's been made into a laughingstock.

It's hard to tell if the real name of The Kid in the cowboy drama The Young Riders is embarrassing, but we can assume so, given the lengths to which he goes to conceal it. After he whispers it to his friend, Teaspoon, who's officiating at his wedding to another of the Riders, Lou (Louise), Teaspoon looks perplexed and aghast before deciding just to go with Kid instead. Must have been bad!

In the original Japanese version of Dragon Ball (the original), Bulma hesitatingly says her name when Goku asks what it is. This is because she originally thought her name was embarrassing because of what it sounded like (in the manga; in the anime, Goku just though it was a "funny name"). All of this got lost in both the Vancouver dub and in Funimation's redub. In the original, Bulma is called Buruma, which is a Japanese pronunciation of "bloomers", a type of women's underwear (compare her son Trunks, her daughter Bra/Bulla, and her father Dr. Briefs).

Umibozu from City Hunter prefers to go by that nickname (meaning sea monster) or his old codename Falcon (mostly used by people connected to his time in the US, including his wife) rather than his real name Hayato Ijuin. That's not because Hayato is a strange name, but because it's utterly normal-and so completely embarrassing for a gigantic Professional Killer whose strong points are demolitions and enough strength to do Guns Akimbo with a machine gun and a bazooka.

Inspector Morse's first name was not revealed for some time on the show, because he was embarrassed about it. Even lovers only called him "Morse". His first name was eventually revealed to be Endeavour — a combination of his having a Quaker mother and a father who really admired Captain Cook. When an old friend from his university days shows up, it's revealed that his student nickname was "Pagan", because he refused to give his Christian name.
Series 3 pathologist Grayling Russell also fits the trope.
In the prequel, the younger Morse doesn't use his first name either — despite it being the name of the show.

Knots Landing: Mack's first name is Marion. This was not revealed to the audience until Season Eight, Mack's fifth season, when Karen reads a letter supposedly written by Anne (which she never sent to Mack) mentioning his first name in "The Inside Man". Karen's lack of reaction indicates that she was, unsurprisingly, already aware of this even if the audience weren't.

Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle: The Demon Cleric goes by "Demon Cleric" because he's embarrased by his real name, Leonard, which he shares with an infamously ill-behaved demon.

In The Hunger Games, while the people themselves don't seem to mind, Katniss notes that a lot of District 1's denizens should be embarrassed by their names, the likes of which include Glimmer, Marvel, Cashmere, and Gloss. This doubles as Hypocritical Humor, given District 12 has some bizarre name, such as Peeta the baker. Pita bread? Then there's the likes of Beetee and Wiress in District 3. Plus a tribute named Woof in Catching Fire, though it's implied he's named after the weft component in weaving.

While it's never really touched on in either the games or the anime (probably because it wasn't an issue in the original Japanese), the male Magma Admin in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire/Emerald has the decidedly feminine name "Tabitha". Similarly, the manga-only Aqua Admin (both Team Magma and Team Aqua have two male admins in the manga as opposed to the one in the games and anime) is named "Amber".

One episode of Kids Incorporated revealed that the character who had previously been known only as "The Kid" was embarrassed by his traditional African first name, Rahsaannote Also the actor's first name; with two or three exceptions, every character on the show was The Danza. After a Very Special Episode taught him not to be ashamed of his heritage, everyone started calling him Rahsaan... right up to the end of the episode, after which it was never mentioned again. The guy left the show shortly afterwards.

Aerynn calls him, "Nate," since she had discovered that to be his real name (his official bio also lists it as such), but he doesn't like being called that either.

According to To Boldly Flee, The Cinema Snob's first name is Bradakin. This is a portmanteau of Snob's actor's first name, Brad, and Anakin Skywalker, to continue the spoof of the Star Wars movies his character centered on.
On the other hand, while everyone else thinks Terl's first name is embarrassing (it's Ferdinand), Terl himself is quite proud of it.
According to Atop the Fourth Wall The Movie, 90's Kid's real name is Evelyn.

Dr. McKay of Stargate Atlantis prefers to be addressed by his middle name, Rodney, because his first name is Meredith. His colleagues have a field day when they find out, thanks to his sister's insistance on calling him that. An Alternate Universe McKay goes a step further and prefers to be called Rod; Rodney could never get anyone to call him that, but Rod is considered far more awesome. For reference, "Meredith" is a Welsh male name (from "Maredudd", meaning "great lord"); while it transitioned through gender-neutral to predominantly female in anglophone countries, it remains primarily masculine in Wales and can be spelled either "Maredudd" or "Meredudd".

Skunky Beaumont from Doug not only lost his Ghost status after Disney took over, he also got a truly embarrassing first name, namely Walter.
In fact, most characters in this show should feel more embarrassed about their names than about their skin colors, but probably the only other character to whom this applies would be Skeeter (a.k.a. Mosquito) Valentine.

Then Dragon Ball Z introduces Goku's original name, Kakarot, used for his original purpose, when he was sent to Earth to cleanse all life from it. He rejected that name after rejecting his mission, but Vegeta and a few villains still refer to him by that name, even though he'd rather they not. Come the end of Dragon Ball Super: Broly, he tells Broly that it’s okay to call him by that name, however.

MacGyver always seemed embarrassed by his first name. Even former lovers only ever called him "MacGyver" (his grandfather called him "bud"). In the show's last season, his first name was revealed to be "Angus", which isn't really all that embarrassing. His embarrassment was probably based on the name originally scripted for him, which was "Stacey".

The Cat Who... Series:
James Mackintosh Qwilleran had his name legally changed, as revealed in book #16 (The Cat Who Came to Breakfast), when he admits the truth to Liz Hart when she's doing a numerological reading of his name. Few other characters — possibly none other than Arch Riker — know that his birth name was Merlin James Qwilleran. Book 22 reveals that it came from his mother being a fan of Arthurian Legend.
Polly's real name is Hippolyta, and she mentions that her "poor sister Ophelia" had a rough time of it in school. Her father was a Shakespearean devotee, and gave all of his children names from the plays.
Invoked in book #17 (The Cat Who Blew the Whistle) by a character named Letitia, who hates her name, and who mentions that her best friend has it even worse, being named Lionella.

In Friends, Chandler's first name is considered embarrassing, though not so embarrassing that he doesn't use it. In one episode, they name one of Phoebe's brother's triplets after him:
He also has an embarrassing last name:
Not to mention his middle name. In short, the reason Chandler uses his first name is because it's the least embarrassing of his embarrassing names.
When Ross and Rachel discuss the name of their as-of-yet unborn child. They agree beforehand that if the other person doesn't like the name, for whatever reason, they can call "veto" on it. The argument goes on for long enough that eventually Phoebe pipes up with "Is it just me, or is 'Vito' starting to sound really good?"

In the Korean drama series My Lovely Sam-soon, a major part of the series is devoted to Kim Sam-soon's embarrassment about the name "Sam-soon", which roughly means "Third daughter".
Sam-soon isn't weird because of its meaning. In Korean the meaning of a name doesn't really matter in Korean. Any name with either "Sam" or "Soon", is considered either embarrassing or old-fashioned.
Sam-soon can also mean "thirty years", and the character Kim Sam-soon is thirty years old.

Dexter's Laboratory: In the episode "A Boy Named Sue", Mandark revealed that his hippy-dippy parents had named him Susan, much to his humiliation. The title of the episode is itself derived from the song written by Shel Silverstein and sung by Johnny Cash, about a boy who wants to kill his father for naming him Sue. It doesn't help that when Dexter meets Mandark for the first time, he has long hair and wears a girly dress, and Dexter calls him a little girl, despite Mandark's insistence that he is a boy. And when Dexter asks him what his name is and Mandark gives an affirmative answer, Dexter starts laughing at him. This, apparently, is what sets their rivalry into motion. Though his introductory episode had him introduced as Ivan Astronomonov.

Gou Matsuoka from Free! is considered to be referred to by her first name due to having a boy's name. She wants to be called Kou, as it sounds more feminine, but no one else calls her by that name.

Gravity Falls: Downplayed. Dipper Pines only goes his nickname, rather than his real name of Mason, but this is mostly because everyone (including his parents) have called him Dipper for so long (after the Big Dipper-shaped birthmark on his forehead) that his birth name now feels unnatural. His real name isn't even mentioned in the series, only being revealed in a book released months after the series ended.

Night Court:
In one episode, Dan Fielding reveals that his real name is Reinhold (the creator of the show was Reinhold Weege.) Also, Fielding is actually his middle name; his real last name is Elmore. (The guy who tells everyone this in the episode also mentions that Dan played the accordion as a child. The guy really didn't like him.)
Bull's real first name is Nostradamus, with his mother claiming she named him after "the hunchback (Notre Dame?)."
When Mac and Quon Li's daughter is born, she wants to name her after the storybook horse Flicka. They make it her middle name after Renee.
