A common problem faced by characters with Identity Amnesia is that they no longer recall their own name. A character struggling to find their identity may become involved in several related tropes under Memory Tropes and The Nameless.
Usually the character will be able to find their original name and identity by the end of the story. However, if this character loses their memory in the backstory, it is possible that they never truly recover their old identity and make use of a new Nom de Guerre. Another character may help them, and they go through a Meaningful Rename and/or Naming Ceremony.
This is a Sub-Trope to both Identity Amnesia (they cannot recall who they are) and The Nameless (they have no name). Super-Trope to Take Away Their Name, where a character's name has been stolen, generally using magic. Can also be a Downplayed Trope to Identity Amnesia, if the character remembers everything about their past except their name. Can also be part of The Fog of Ages if it's particularly profound.

The Bourne Identity opens In Medias Res as a fishing boat pulls an unconscious man aboard. The man has no idea who he is, but he still remembers how to speak foreign languages well enough to question the boat's Portuguese crew, and also retains his hand-to-hand combat and stealth spy skills. It's not until he discovers a safe deposit box with varying ID papers, most of which bear the name "Jason Bourne", that he begins to learn his identity and purpose.

In Pact, Maggie Holt is tricked into giving her True Name to a fairy, causing the fairy to become Maggie Holt while she becomes simply "girl in scarf". Girl in scarf gradually unravels over the course of the arc, becoming more and more nondescript as Maggie Holt "takes back" her memories, traits and relationships (eventually even losing her scarf and becoming just "girl"). In the end she manages to survive by placing herself under a Magically-Binding Contract to serve the local magical community as a negotiator named Mags, but if that contract is ever broken then she will cease being Mags and disappear.

The Stepford Cuckoos threatened Triage with making him forget his own name when his lascivious teen boy thoughts offended them.
Wolverine's backstory is packed with memory loss and super-secret military conditioning. While he is occasionally called Logan, he was usually certain it wasn't his name. It isn't; his given name is James Howlett.

Bleach: Ichibei Hyosube has the power to literally erase a person or object's name. I Know Your True Name is very important in this universe, because they affect the power something or someone has. Therefore, anyone or anything affected by this ability loses its powers. Unfortunately for him, Yhwach was powerful enough to completely counter the ability and remember his name.

Mega Man Zero: Zero is awakened from his long slumber with some amnesia, including his name. He's repeatedly told that "You're Zero, the legendary Reploid" but he's not sure if he's really the Zero that the Resistance wanted (the Resistance took him into their place). At the end of the third game (where the issues regarding his past and identity come ramming home), he finally asserts "I am Zero".

In Dark Matter (2015), the six original human Raza crewmembers wake up from stasis with amnesia at the beginning of the series and adopt numbers One through Six as their names, intended to be temporary at first, based on order of awakening. Most of them (except Five, a Mysterious Waif teenage girl who's the only one of the six who's not an adult and not a wanted criminal) learn their given names at the end of the first episode, but they continue using the numbers instead since Amnesiac Dissonance they don't want to be the Dreaded mass-murdering career mercenaries their original selves were]]. Also, it turns out One is not actually Jace Corso; he doesn't learn his real given name (Derrick Moss) until later in the season. Likewise, Six's given name is not actually Griffin Jones; he was an undercover cop named Kal Varrick, and Two doesn't remember that she originally went by Rebecca, when she was created as an experimental Artificial Human prototype who escaped her "owners" and later renamed herself "Portia Lin" when she pursued a life of crime.

Sento is actually an interesting case in the way that while he is by no means the first rider to have amnesia note Fourth to be precise. he is the only one with a Line-of-Sight Name Pun. Everyone else either remembered their name or were named based on some clue to their identity.

Metal Gear:
Naked Snake says that he has no name, despite characters calling him "Big Boss" (his title given to him by the CIA), "John" (his birth name), and "Naked Snake" (his code name from MGS3, and the name he dislikes the least).
In Metal Gear Solid, when Liquid Snake implies that he and Solid Snake have no names and no history, Snake counters that he does have a name. Liquid is pissed at the idea of identifying with his birth name. The end of the game reveals that Solid Snake's first name is David.

Given its popularity with pieces involving wandering samurai, this trope shows up in Way of the Samurai, where 'Nameless' is the default name given to the player's ronin character. You can always choose to change it, but the character is apparently some kind of amnesiac swordsman, so it fits.

Family Skeleton Mysteries: Played with in book 1. Sid, when he first came back from the dead, didn't remember his original name and so accepted the name a six-year-old Georgia gave him because "You look like a Sid." Years later though, when sorting through a list of students at Joshua Tay University who left without finishing their degrees, he spots an "Allen Reece" and somehow, subconsciously, knows that the name is spelled correctly rather than changing it to the alternate spelling of "Alan". It turns out that although he'd lost nearly all his memories of his original life, part of him knows the spelling is correct because he is Allen Reece.

In Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell the character called "Stephen Black" is apparently not actually named Stephen Black, or so it would seem according to the rules of magic, because 'Stephen' was a slave name and not his true name given to him by his mother at his birth, which has been lost. As such, Magic considers him to be "The Nameless Slave", which is problematic because there is also a historical figure prevalent in the story, the Raven King, who was also given a slave name that was not his real name, John Uskglass, and is also referred to as "The Nameless Slave". Spells meant to address the latter Nameless Slave accidentally affect the former Nameless Slave.

In Pathfinder, monks with the Monk of the Healing Hand archetype gain the "True Sacrifice" ability in place of their normal capstone - a Sacrificial Revival Spell which also erases all record of the monk's name, prevents it from ever being written or spoken, and makes it impossible to return the monk to life (even by resurrection effects that explicitly cannot be negated by any means, such as the direct intervention of a deity). Given the many ways to revive the dead which are available much earlier and don't require any kind of sacrifice, this has lead to jokes that its real capstone is "You get to forget you ever played a monk".

Dies Irae uses this in mixture with The Fog of Ages for one the main antagonists, Mercurius. He is so inconceivably ancient that even he has forgotten his original name. Even the name "Mercurius" that most refer to him as is just his oldest known alias.

In the original version of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Thousand Year Door, the Shadow Queen explains her origin story. She was once a girl named Josephine, and she gained her powers after a Deal with the Devil with a nameless demon. Part of her payment was to relinquish her name to the demon. While she remembers what her original name was, she says she can feel it doesn't belong to her anymore.

When he escapes and is rescued from death by a Hunter named Billy, he asks for Grey's name, leading to the above quote in the heading.

At the end of The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel III, protagonist Rean Schwarzer goes completely berserk, giving into his "ogre power" Super Mode and is captured by the Empire. In Cold Steel IV, he is chained up in the Black Workshop, completely out of his mind and having forgotten everything about his past. Anytime his name appears on-screen in scenes involving him, it appears blurry and struck out. When your party finally comes to rescue him, they end up in a "I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight with him, or "???" as the game names him. If you scan him, the description reads "Sacrifice to the Great Twilight, driven so berserk he doesn't even remember his name, much less recognize his students."

In The Amazing World of Gumball episode "The Name", we find out that "Gumball" is just title character's nickname which he's been called so much that he forgot what his real name is. He decided to go out and find his real name no matter the cost... but his mom just casually reminds him it's "Zach". Zach becomes a Split Personality who turns out to be a huge jerk compared to Gumball, so by the end of the episode, he ends up having his name officially changed to "Gumball" to get rid of him.

In Disco Elysium The Detective starts the game waking up with little memory of anything, including his name. You are given a few options to find a name for yourself: You can introduce yourself as "Raphaël Ambrosius Costeau" to Kim by failing a check, you can learn you used to go by "Tequila Sunset" when drunk by talking to people you interacted with while drunk, call yourself "Dick Mullen" after a famous In-Universe fictional detective, find out your code name on the force used to be "Firewalker", and some characters and even some of your own intrusive thoughts keep calling you "Harry". The only way to get your full name is to retrieve your police badge from the wreck in the ice, which carries your birth name: "Harrier Du Bois". The Detective can accept this as his name, or can reject that name and keep using another one instead.

In Doctor Who, Ashildr becomes an immortal and lives so long — with a human brain — that she forgets most of her past. However, she retains a sense of her identity because she writes in a diary every day. But she never wrote down her name, and so she forgets it completely until the Doctor reminds her of it. After which point, she disregards her name and continues to go by the name of "Me," but she recognizes "Ashildr" when the Doctor or Clara uses it.

They seem to gain differing levels of Identity Amnesia: Mao is shown to have forgotten his own name, as well as Yokoka's and Valyn's names; Yokoka seems oblivious to even having a previous name; Betelgeuse and Yfa remembered their names while inside the barrier (other characters outside the barrier who knew them used the same names).

In Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, several demons forget their human identities upon turning into a demon, either by living such a tragic life that they detached themselves from their past or because they just didn't care about that life at all; however, sometimes their human identities and names are given in the story proper or side-materials like Fanbooks (Databooks), but there's still a few demons that have their humans names left completely unknown. The 2nd Fanbook gives an actual reason why Hantengu's real human name isn't given, he has lived a life of constant lying and identity assumption that Hantengu just had too many names during his human days, none of them important enough for him to remember as soon as he came up with another identity to assume to leech off of others; Hantengu no longer had a concept of a real identity, becoming unable to remember his real name.

When the dragons of the Inheritance Cycle learned that the thirteen dragons of the Forsaken had turned against their own kind and were actively helping the Forsaken to kill and enslave their own kind, the free dragons grew angry. They gathered their power and performed one of their inexplicable works of magic. Somehow, they stripped the Thirteen of their names. From that moment on, no one could remember, read, write, or speak any name belonging to those dragons. Common names, true names, nicknames, everything. The dragons themselves could not even say "I like this" or "I dislike that", because to do so would be to name themselves. As such, stripped of identity, five of them descended into insanity and all of them slowly lost the ability to properly think.

The Bridge: X has amnesia and his masters only saw him as a weapon, so they never named him. They would use X as a designation so they knew what they were talking about. After giving up a chance to recover his memories, since that risks unleashing his Superpowered Evil Side Kaizer Ghidorah, he declares that from now on, "X" will be his true name. For the record, his original name was Praetorian Guard 094.

In Spirited Away, Yubaba controls the workers at the baths by taking away their names and giving them new ones. Haku warns Chihiro that if she forgets her real name like he did, she won't be able to escape and will have to serve Yubaba forever. Chihiro manages to free him by reminding him that his true name is the Kohaku River.

In House of Anubis, Fabian's second-season curse is amnesia, which slowly begins to remove every memory he has. At his worst, he forgets what his name is, and asks Nina who "Fabian" is.

Mega Man:
Mega Man Zero: Zero is awakened from his long slumber with some amnesia, including his name. He's repeatedly told that "You're Zero, the legendary Reploid" but he's not sure if he's really the Zero that the Resistance wanted (the Resistance took him into their place). At the end of the third game (where the issues regarding his past and identity come ramming home), he finally asserts "I am Zero".
Mega Man ZX Advent: Grey wakes up in a strange lab with no memory of who he is, including his name. Cue the arrival of Pandora, who helpfully tells him his name is Grey in the same sentence she declares she's here to dispose of him as a "defective Mega Man" whose mind control was interrupted. When he escapes and is rescued from death by a Hunter named Billy, he asks for Grey's name, leading to the above quote in the heading.

The ongoing 'protagonist' of the meta-story told by mind.in.a.box's albums is only called "Black", due to having his identity erased.

Nisha from The Brotherhood of the Conch came with her family to Kolkata as a young child. She was separated them from the marketplace and never saw them again. She has long forgotten whatever name they called her by. Growing up as a Street Urchin, she was known as Sweeper Girl because she swept in front of a soft drink stall in exchange for being allowed to sleep under it. Abhaydatta allows her to pick her new name.

Transformers: In Dreamwave's comic series The War Within: The Dark Ages, a character is introduced who is only ever referred to as "the Fallen," as his name/identity was taken away from him by his fellow Transformers after he betrayed Primus and sided with Unicron. Many years later, his actual name is revealed to be Megatronus Prime.
