There are some people who explicitly prefer to be called by their name. In fact these people are often irritated with nicknames. Of course they normally have reason for this. Perhaps they find the nicknames childish while they prefer to be formal and serious, maybe they are extremely proud of their name, or they are so aloof they dislike the closeness implied in nicknaming. At any rate, this character will almost always be some sort of a uptight stick-in-the-mud or fussy straight man to his more irritating castmates. Compare and contrast Accidental Misnaming and Malicious Misnaming. Contrast Do Not Call Me "Paul" (when a guy with an alias doesn't like to be called with his real name). Also see They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (for insistent titling). As essentially Insistent Terminology for names, expect them to get along with one or fewer of the following: First-Name Basis, Last-Name Basis, Full-Name Basis. Expect them to be at odds with The Nicknamer, for obvious reasons. With them, everything but their prefered name may be Terms of Endangerment. Compare to Embarrassing Nickname. |

Genshin Impact: Paimon gets peeved whenever the Traveler and other people call her nicknames like "Emergency Food", "Floating Child", and "Flying Lavender Melon" (an intentional Malicious Misnaming by Arataki Itto in "Perilous Trail") than her actual name, and will constantly correct people to call her by her actual name as if she's more important than she lets on. | |

The title of Bones comes from the nickname that FBI agent Seeley Booth gives the forensic anthropologist he consults with, Dr. Temperance Brennan. She starts out the series abhorring this nickname, and "don't call me Bones" was close to a pseudo-catchphrase in early seasons. It eventually grows on her as Booth does, though he is the only one allowed to call her that—not that anyone else would dare try. | |

Allirea in Radiance, while more visibly an example of the opposite trope, also hates being nicknamed herself. This could be because Demetri, who has vampire-mate-bonded with her and doesn't comprehend that half-vampires don't automatically reciprocate like full vampires do, insists on calling her "Alli". | |

The Dresden Files: Zig-zagged with the archangel Uriel, who absolutely refuses to let The Nicknamer Harry Dresden call him "Uri". After some consideration, Harry proposes "Mr. Sunshine", which he hesitantly accepts. Since Harry was unwittingly removing the name of Uriel's patron God from his name, Uriel's uncharacteristic anxiety is understandable.note ("Uriel" translates to "God is my light", so the contraction's implicit meaning of "Light independent of God" is evocative of a specific, infamous fallen angel.) Anastasia Luccio hates being called "Stacy", to the point that her visceral negative reaction to it leads to Harry using it as a Trust Password. She has nothing against being called "Ana" by people she is close to, though. |

This is one of the characteristics of the goblins in Discworld. They all have names like The Tears Of The Mushroom and Of The Twilight The Darkness, and if you shorten this name in any way, it stops being their name. (Exception: there's a goblin policeman in Raising Steam called Of The Chimney The Bones, who allows his superior officer to call him "Boney". A footnote mentions that this is a special privilege.) | |

In Moon Knight (2022) Steven Grant is quick to insist on being referred to as such when Donna, his boss at the museum, condescendingly calls him "Stevie" instead, probably not helped by the fact that she's a nasty Bad Boss who clearly isn't using the nickname affectionately. | |

Gillian from Naked Came the Stranger is the co-host of The Billy & Gilly Show, but she hates being called Gilly off the air because "It sounds like some Lake Michigan fish." | |

In VeggieTales, St. Nicholas as a boy is this. Octavius calls hims things like "Nick Jr." and "Nicky", much to Nicholas's chagrin. | |

In Everlasting Summer, Olga Dmitrievna forces everyone to refer to her by her full name at all times. And don't you dare refer to Alisa as "Dva-cheh". | |

Infinity Train: MT — Mirror Tulip — hates being given nicknames because it reflects how she's nothing more than just someone else's reflection and not her own person. Doesn't help that the nicknames she gets are malicious ("Sliver", "Null", etc.) | |

Bob Hearts Abishola: When Bob and Abishola first meet in the pilot, Bob starts calling her "Abby", which she doesn't like. A curious example happens regarding Chukwuemeka. He says that Abishola may refer to him as "Chewie", but his mother is the one who insists that she call him Chukwuemeka. |

Infinity Train: Seeker of Crocus: Easter takes pride of having a name — as they're originally a nameless sentient lightning bolt before having struck Specter — and gets annoyed when Yuri playfully calls them "East". This is an indicator that something's wrong with them when Tony calls them "Mr. Sparky" and not only does Easter not lash out at that — or the fact that Tony used the wrong pronouns as they are non-binary — they're upset that King Lugh, the deity that crafted their car and freed them from servitude of Zeus, is being used to cause evil. However, this is also known to be quite ironic since Easter itself is actually short for a moniker they call "Earth-as-Specter". Yuri Ichiro loves giving nicknames to others but does not want Tony Clark to call him "Yu-ster". However, this doesn't mean he hates nicknames at all, as his father gives him an Affectionate Nickname in "Little Rockruff". |

Doctor Who: The Doctor usually objects to being called "Doc", although the seventh (after a few protests) put up with being called "Professor" by Ace. Thirteenth Doctor companion Graham is one of the few people who can get away with using "Doc". "Voyage of the Damned": Bannakaffalatta does not appreciate attempts to shorten his name. |

The Legend of Korra: When Aang and Toph were twelve, she took to calling him Twinkle-Toes. Decades later, when Aang is responsible for keeping the world balanced and Toph is the chief of police for Republic City, she still calls him Twinkle-Toes, something he feels no longer befits his age or position. And later still, twenty years after Aang's death and the Avatar spirit is reborn in Korra. | |

The Mountain and the Wolf: Ramsay demands to be known as Bolton as he's been legitimized. The Wolf, who's there to kill him and doesn't like him in the first place, instead deliberately calls him by a variety of names, and never the right one: Snow (the generic name for bastards, though the Wolf doesn't know that), Snolton, and finally Snotling (the utterly weakest type of orc). | |
