This trope is about a character who usually has some nickname, serial number, or title they go by, but they're missing a birth name, and may even lack an adopted name. If someone with I Know Your True Name magic shows up, this character is immune to their powers. They were never given a "proper" name. Discovering this lack of naming is an important characterization moment. Any race with No Need for Names incorporates a lack of naming into their culture by their very nature. Abusive/neglectful parents in other societies may 'forget' to name their child.
This is not about characters whose personal names are merely absent from the work; No Name Given addresses that concept. This trope is often, not always, followed by the other characters insisting on a name that fits. While a full Naming Ceremony is generally unlikely to happen, the nameless character may adopt a name that reflects their new life. Also possible is that the nameless character refuses the name given to them.
This is a subtrope to The Nameless, because the character didn't have a name, even if they are given a name later. Compare No Name Given, where the work doesn't reveal the character's name, although their parents presumably gave them one.

Hercules: This briefly happens in the beginning. After Alcmene gave birth to her Child by Rape, she angrily tried to kill him. The Harpies stopped her and said it is not right to kill someone without first giving him a name. After the Harpies suggest Hercules, she grudgingly uses the name after her attempts to kill him fail.

In Penny Dreadful, the Frankenstein's Monster doesn't have a name, since Victor abandoned him immediately after restoring him to life and so never named him. (Victor does name Caliban and Lily when created later on.) The Creature does pick several names for himself in the course of the series, but all of them are treated as placeholders. He eventually learns the name from his former life as a human, but the audience never does, and he doesn't start using it.

Dragon Age: The horned, tall people who follow the philosophy known as the Qun have invested in a variation of Everybody Calls Him "Barkeep" where even their racial identification is merely the title of their philosophy. Not only are all Qunari names more like job titles, but we have no idea what their race was called before the Qun's invention - even "kossith", the next best thing, is just their previous philosophy.
In Dragon Age: Origins, you can recruit a Qunari named Sten. This is his military rank/duty.
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, the Qunari you can recruit has adopted a nickname, "The Iron Bull", but he is still a "Ben-Hassarath" and later, "Hissrad". Both of which are Qunari jobs, not names.

Bleach:
Kenpachi Zaraki had no name growing up, the district of his origin being filled with people little better than animals. After discovering Yachiru Kusajishi, a toddler who also had no name, he decided to name both of them and started his journey to the Seireitei. It is eventually revealed that Yachiru was actually the spirit of Kenpachi's Zanpakuto all along, meaning her real name is Nozarashi.
In Bleach: Fade to Black, Homura and Shizuku spent their entire lives without names. Rukia gives them their names as they are dying.

In the Chzo Mythos, the wraith that haunts DeFoe Manor was never given a name in life, due to having been locked in the basement by his abusive father from the day he was born. The characters across the games, as a result, refer to him by a variety of names, with the most enduring being Trilby's "John DeFoe".

First Encounter Assault Recon: The Player Character is referred to only by his rank-or, alternatively, 'The New Guy'. Supplemental material included as a pre-order bonus with F.E.A.R. 2 outright states that he doesn't have a name — at least, not outside a secret name known only by a select few. It was part of the attempt to mold him as the first psychic commander. The other members of F.E.A.R. weren't provided any more name for him than "Point Man" and were informed not to even bother asking what his real name is.

Estranged is about both parties in a Changeling Tale. While the fairy-raised-by-humans goes by "Edmund", the human Edmund was simply called "the Childe" by everyone in the Fay court. He's a little annoyed that his Golem servant, Whick, was deemed name-worthy while he wasn't. Eventually, he returns to his birth family and becomes "Ed(mund)" while fairy-Edmund returns to the World Below and uses his birth name, Cinder.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
Father's process to create homunculi was repeated many times. Many of the candidates were raised from children without being given names by their parents.
King Bradley is a false name given to the one who survived the transformation into the homunculus Wrath. He does not consider this to be his true name, and even comments on the similarity between himself and Scar when they fight.
The other candidates for the process to create the homunculus Wrath were kept as an elite and completely loyal force in Central. Not one of them has a name or any reason for living aside from carrying out orders.

In Nick Harkaway's The Gone-Away World, the protagonist never receives a name, because Gonzo forgot to give him one. The whole book is in first person, so it's never really brought to your attention until the point where the protagonist is giving a rousing speech to inspire the Haulage Co. to go rescue Gonzo and he tries to introduce himself. This leads to an uncomfortable Beat while he realizes he doesn't actually have a name.

Discworld:
In Moving Pictures, the talking duck, mouse, and rabbit have no names, although the cat might have a name, if having once been called "Puss" by a child counts.
Elaborated upon in Men at Arms: pet animals have names; wild and feral animals don't. The fact the Dogs' Guild imagines wolves as having names like Quickfang ironically shows how human their thinking is. (In The Fifth Elephant, two wolves are given names for human convenience; one is called Arsehole as a representation of a scent marker, and another chooses Gavin because "He once ate someone called Gavin".)
Two human examples are Male Infant Scroop in "Medical Notes" and Female Infant Robinson in The Wee Free Men. In the latter case, it's explained that her mother saw this written down in the midwife's book and assumed that made it official. Presumably something similar applies to Mr Scroop.

One character in the Triptych Continuum's lack of name appears to be deliberate — and possibly a way of getting past the suspected power of names as applied to destiny in Equestria. They are sometimes called simply her.

Downplayed in Labyrinths of Echo: Melifaro doesn't have a given name, just a family name. This is because when he was born, his encyclopedist father had already left for his multi-year, world-spanning expedition and was too distracted to come up with a name for his youngest son — or rather, he came up with a new name every single day, until one day, he just said to his wife (Melifaro's mom), "Honey, does our son even need a given name, with a family name as famous as ours?" From that point onward, Melifaro only ever went by his surname.

The plot of the Liaden Universe prequel Crystal Dragon involves a school of sorceresses who go their entire lives without names (being born and raised within the school so that this can be ensured). Being equipped with telepathy and other powers helps smooth over the potential social awkwardnesses. The school teaches that being nameless is a strength, rendering a person immune to I Know Your True Name types of magic, but it's suggested that it also somehow weakens their individuality and makes them susceptible to being dominated by the school's masters. Some of the sorceresses who break from the school over the course of the story find names for themselves, but the one who gets the most page time never does, and is referred to throughout the series only by description.

In the In Death novels, Eve Dallas was given that name at the age of eight by the first-responders who found her wandering the streets. Eve refers to the first woman and Dallas refers to the city she was in. Her parents (if they even deserve the title) never bothered even giving her a name.

Firstborn: Blue Boy is reluctant to name his runt pup because runts usually die. As it turns out, the runt is the only one who survives into adulthood. She is named "Hope" after surviving the fire that killed the rest of her litter. Due to Hope, Blue Boy names the runt of his next litter. Unfortunately, Rider doesn't make it to adulthood.

In Dreams of Joy, the sequel to Shanghai Girls, Joy's mother-in-law is referred to by her mother as "Joy's Mother-in-Law", because she had no name outside of her husband's surname. She went by Fu-shee when she got married. This was Truth in Television for poor Chinese women, who often weren't given names or given names like "hope for a son".

Syberia: The World Before: "Ludvig Hardtack" is the given name of the Goron child Leon rescued in China when the child has moved to Europe with Leon. From all the evidence provided by the game, including Leon's pictural diary, it's implied the Goron don't use names, making Ludvig's name a necessary invention so he can fit into human society.

Metal Gear: Zig-Zagged Trope; While the character of Solid Snake does have a real name in the canon series of games (we're told it's David at the end of Metal Gear Solid), the non-canon games act as if they have no name at all - Metal Gear Ac!d makes it a major plot point that Snake doesn't have a real name, but at least in the second one it's not the same Snake as in the main games.

Black Butler:
Demons have no names: the ones they sport like "Sebastian" are names given for convenience by their masters, and they will drop them after the latter die.
Finnian had never been given a name prior to meeting Ciel. Being given a name was so important to him, it led to his Declaration of Protection for Ciel.
After the death of Joker and the rest of the performers in Noah's Ark, the story reveals that "Joker" was a stage name and he was never given any other, because he never had any family to care for him before the (now dead) Circus members, who likely had similar stories. The anime subverts this for Beast, whose shinigami documents declare her real name to be "Mally", implying she had a family at some point in her life.

In chapter 10 of The Yellow Bag, Alfonso encounters a school of fish and comments to Raquel that none of them have any names, instead calling each other through interjections such as "hey!" and "listen!". This makes Raquel realize that, for once in her life, she actually likes her own name, and since she doesn't need another, she decides to hand the cards with boyish names to Alfonso—who gives them to the fishes—and to get rid of her wish of being a boy.

Each of the killers in Dead by Daylight have names (the Trapper was Evan Macmillan, and the Wraith was Philip Ojomo) except for the Hillbilly. Turns out, he was never given one; his Abusive Parents had him bricked inside his room for his childhood. The Hillbilly... takes this as well as you think once he manages to escape. Notably, he is referred to by name (Max Thompson Jr.) in the artbook; it's explained that his parents had intended to name him such before rejecting him for his deformities, and after killing them he started to think of himself by that name.

Late in the The Black Company, the character "Tobo" is introduced. Due to the customs of the culture he hails from, a child's true name can only be chosen when both (or at least all living) parents come together and choose one. His father is stuck in a magical prison, meaning he has no real name, just the nickname his mother gave him. This is very important, as "Tobo" is a wizard, and I Know Your True Name is the primary weakness of wizards in the Black Company universe.

Trowa Barton from Mobile Suit Gundam Wing was separated from his family as a baby and raised by a band of mercenaries, who never named him. He remains nameless his entire life until the eve of Operation Meteor, when he lifts the moniker of the man originally trained to pilot the Gundam Heavyarms. After Endless Waltz, he considers himself nameless once more, until his friends convince him to keep it. Early on in the show, it's demonstrated that he still hasn't fully accepted the new name:
Eventually, as later works in the same universe show, Trowa reunited with his long lost sister, and rediscovered his birthname: Triton Bloom

Star Trek:
Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "I, Borg" has the away team recover the sole survivor at a Borg crash site. The wounded and disoriented Borg calls himself Third Of Five, which is normal for the Borg Hive Mind. However, detached from the collective, Third Of Five begins to think for himself, and adopts the name given him by Chief Engineer LaForge, Hugh. Hugh ends up reintegrated with the Borg cube, which causes chaos amoung the culture.
On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the Changelings are a race with No Need for Names, and the 'leader' only goes by 'female Changeling' or 'Founder'. Odo and Laas only have names because they interacted with 'solids' during an impressible time and solids like to place names on things.
Star Trek: Voyager: The Emergency Medical Hologram (called Doctor) went seven years without getting a name that stuck. In the last episode, he's portrayed as finally having settled on "Joe," but that was in a future that got erased, so he may never actually choose one. note Word of God is that he was originally named Dr Zimmerman in the script, but they managed to go long enough without mentioning his name onscreen that it became a plot point of its own.

Gargoyles: The titular Gargoyles are a race that has No Need for Names; they identify each other based on their family relation. However, those who interact with humans on a regular basis need to avoid You Know the One, so they either adopt names given by the humans, or name themselves. Goliath took a name as leader of the clan protecting their castle. The members of the Manhattan Clan take names at the beginning of the series, as they wish to interact more with the human world. Demona was named by Macbeth back when the two were still on good terms. The Gargoyles born on the hidden island of Avalon avert this since they were raised by humans who named them.

The Garden of Sinners: Shiki Ryougi's "third personality" is referred to simply with a pair of empty quotation marks, since it is actually the result of the Ryougi family's "split mind" psychic abilities forcing a vacated space in her mind to gain control of her body. Even calling it something like "Void Shiki" is said to be inaccurate, since the true nature of "" cannot be expressed by language, but it is implied to be the nothingness before the universe given human form, with Enlightenment Superpowers of inconceivable strength.

His mom didn't know that she was giving birth to twins and right after the second baby was born, the mid-wife killed her. Apparently no-one ever bothered to given Jacob's twin brother a name.

Elaborated upon in Men at Arms: pet animals have names; wild and feral animals don't. The fact the Dogs' Guild imagines wolves as having names like Quickfang ironically shows how human their thinking is. (In The Fifth Elephant, two wolves are given names for human convenience; one is called Arsehole as a representation of a scent marker, and another chooses Gavin because "He once ate someone called Gavin".)

The human infant from Ice Age gets rescued by Manny the woolly mammoth and Sid the sloth. They then spend most of the movie trying to return it to the tribe. The child's parents speak only in monosyllable grunts, so if one of these is the child's name, it's not apparent. The end credits fail to list the baby, so no help there.

"Tezerret" from Magic: The Gathering is actually the Planeswalker's nickname. His parents never gave him one, so he adopted the nickname his sewer-rat friends gave him. It's local slang for "shank".

VeggieTales: The Silly Songs With Larry segment "My High Silk Hat" plays this trope for laughs. At the end of the song, Larry tries to complain to a nearby scallion, only to ask his name in the course of doing so. The reply: "They've never given me a name. I've been around since show one, and I still don't have a name.'' Larry just stares at the screen, dumbfounded, before delivering the last line of the song.

One of the beings featured in Bogleech's Nightmare Beings posts is identified only as *TV Static Noise*. Within the narrative of the nightmare from which it originated, it believes that if it is given a name, it can escape into the waking world, and attempts without success to coerce the dreamer into naming it. Upon hearing the story, Bog immediately names it Dorothy.

In Five, Roseanne never gets around to naming her son—the first child born after the Depopulation Bomb wiped out almost all of humanity—possibly because naming the child by herself would force her to admit that her husband is dead. As a result, the infant dies without ever receiving a name.

Fate/stay night: Normally a Noble Phantasm's name is a key part of its power, to the point where it cannot be used properly without knowing it, but Gilgamesh's sword does not have a name at all. It has been referred to as "Ea" or "The Sword of Rupture" for convenience, but neither of these names truly belong to it in a mystical sense.

Two human examples are Male Infant Scroop in "Medical Notes" and Female Infant Robinson in The Wee Free Men. In the latter case, it's explained that her mother saw this written down in the midwife's book and assumed that made it official. Presumably something similar applies to Mr Scroop.

Changeling: The Lost: This turns out to be the case for "Skin and Bones" in the sourcebook Grim Fears. When he says "Give me a name" after being summoned, that's not an order, it's a request. "Skin and Bones" has no name and desperately wants one. If he's given a name that's already being used by someone, he hunts the person down and takes them away, in hopes of making the name vacant. Giving him a name that's not being used by anyone - on Earth or in Arcadia - will make him leave and never come back.

In Hunter × Hunter, the Chimera Ant King abandoned his dying mother, the Queen, immediately after he was born; as his Character Development went on, however, he became human enough to be bothered by his lack of a name. One of Netero's subordinates heard her name the King 'Meryem' before she died and relayed that information to Netero. He later uses this to goad the King into a fight, offering to tell him his name if he could get Netero to admit defeat.

Soul Series: In a series where every other weapon has a name, all of Edgemaster's weapons are nameless. This is because he believes that weapons are nothing more than tools. It is the warrior's soul, not the weapon, that makes the warrior. The sword he gave to Xianghua to replace Soul Calibur is also nameless, since Xianghua respected his philosophy and refused to name it herself.

The Zashiki Warashi twins in Hozuki's Coolheadedness have no names of their own, having never needed them before. They're Invisible to Normals and only ever used "you" or something similar when addressing one another. Once they begin living with Hozuki in Hell, whose denizens can see and interact with them just fine, they ask for their own names. After a few go rounds, Hozuki and Momotaro discuss how boys are often named by birth order with things like Ichiro and Jiro and how this often isn't done with girls. This prompts Hozuki to name the black haired twin "Ichiko", because she is generally the one to speak first, and the white haired girl "Niko".

As one of Horde Prime's many identical clones, he was never intended to have individuality or free will. Giving himself a name and making an autonomous decision to conquer Etheria both anger Horde Prime.

In Once Upon a Time part of the reason for Rumplestiltskin's obsession with names is that his mother was more interested in saving him from a great evil (that ended up being herself) than with actually raising him, so never gave him a name. He did get his name from his father, but his father was a pretty nasty piece of work himself, didn't really want a son especially once his wife left, and is implied to have named him Rumplestiltskin because it was awful.

No one has been able to think of a name for her, and no one does by the end of the special. When this is pointed out, Strawberry reassures her "I'm sure that someone, somewhere has just the right name for you," giving a quick glance to the audience (since there was a doll made of this character).

Superboy (1994): While Superboy had a designation prior to Kal-El bestowing a name on him it was never treated as a name and Kon never responded to it since those using it considered him disposable property rather than an individual. When Superman finally gave him a name after he'd been acting as a superhero for well more than a year Kon cried with joy, as it reaffirmed him as a person with his own rights and the name placed him firmly in Superman's own family.

In Shakugan no Shana, Shana was raised since childhood to be a warrior and was not given a name, though she was sometimes referred to as the "Flaming-Haired Blazing-Eyed Hunter". When Yuji asked for her name, she said she didn't have one and didn't see the point; when addressed among other Hazes, she is called "Nietono no Shana" after her nodachi. Yuji decided to name her Shana and she eventually accepted it. This raises the strange question if swords are equally or more important than Hazes, since they're given names while their users aren't.

Star Wars Legends: The Gand, a species of insectoid humanoids, place a heavy cultural emphasis on personal achievements and require members of the species to earn a name. This was first introduced in the X-Wing Series novel, Rogue Squadron. Gand who have not distinguished themselves at all simply refers to themselves in the third person as "Gand", but may later earn a surname and then a given name. The most famed Gand, referred to as janwuine, are permitted to refer to themselves in the first person, as Rogue Squadron pilot Ooryl Qrygg earns the right to in The Bacta War. Gands may also temporarily revert to lower levels of naming to express shame, remorse, or humility.

In Arknights this is common among the Sarkaz. W in particular claims she never had a name until "inheriting" it from the mercenary whose weapon she claimed for herself after his death. Several Sarkaz Operators also go exclusively by their code names and have nothing else listed on their profile.

The Bridge:
According to Xenilla, Destroyah never chose a name for herself and doesn't care. The others just refer to her as Destroyah out of convenience. However, considering how upset she gets when the Cutie Mark Crusaders don't pronounce it right, she's accepted Destroyah as her name.
Since Gyaos are mostly nothing but mindless predators, none of them have names. Averted when the Albino Hyper Gyaos is eventually named Irys by Sunset Shimmer in reference to her pearl-hued irises, which she accepts.
In the spin-off The Bridge: Humanity's Stand, the creature from Godzilla (2014) says that he has no name. For the sake of identification, the others may call him Gojira if they wish, a nickname that the ancient people called him.

Brennus: Macian has no name when introduced, not even a codename. He never needed one. When Henry insists on one, he picks the codename Macian, which means 'Maker'. Henry then helps him pick one for his younger sister. He picks Amanda.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: Philip Strenger, aka the Bloody Baron, became so drunk one night that he beat his wife Anna until she miscarried their unborn child — a child she never wanted and thus never named. After Philip awoke and found that his wife (and daughter) had run away, he buried the unborn fetus in an unmarked grave without giving it a name. These acts turned the dead fetus into a Botchling (an evil monster) with the protagonist Geralt specifically saying that not giving the dead child a name was the biggest mistake. If Geralt decides to undo the transformation, the Baron gives the dead child a name: Dea.

Star Trek: Voyager: The Emergency Medical Hologram (called Doctor) went seven years without getting a name that stuck. In the last episode, he's portrayed as finally having settled on "Joe," but that was in a future that got erased, so he may never actually choose one. note Word of God is that he was originally named Dr Zimmerman in the script, but they managed to go long enough without mentioning his name onscreen that it became a plot point of its own.

Copy Kitty presents most character's names above their textbox. Throughout Boki's Story, there's someone who speaks in a colorful textbox, but no name. They're supposedly the person who assigned Arikan to guard the Dimensional Nexus, stole Fortress Virs, and launched an assault on the city (all of this is just part of the simulation, of course). Beyond the fact that they're a very powerful and high-ranking Construct, nothing is known about them.

In Chronicles of the Kencyrath the Southron-Kencyr Highborn half-breed, who Jame accidentally bound has no name as Graykin and Gricki are both just nicknames; his mother died before she could actually name him.

In The Duskyverse story, Evil's Twilight, the antagonist is a very ancient, body-snatching spirit. As far as Celestia and Luna can tell, it has no name, so they just call it Nameless.

In Artemis Fowl, juvenile demons or imps are not given a real name until they go through puberty or 'warp'. One Imp who has taken unusually long to warp is only referred to as "N°1". It's eventually revealed he's a Demon Warlock so his body doesn't physically warp, but despite this revelation he decides to keep N°1 as his actual name for the rest of the series.

Ender's Shadow, it's revealed that Bean was named that from a street bully, due to him being so small. Bean was raised in a lab and never given a name, but his birth parents are eventually tracked down and they give him the name Julian Delphiki.

Kingdom Hearts: The Keyblade wielded by Master Xehanort has been passed down throughout the ages starting with its original wielder Luxu. The Master of Masters who bequeathed the Keyblade to Luxu told him that the Keyblade had no name. Luxu promptly named it "No Name" as a jest.

Glitched Miko AU: M-2 has only ever had a designation rather than a real name. Miko decides to call her Meico similar to her own name. Which she does since M-2 is her exact double.

Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "I, Borg" has the away team recover the sole survivor at a Borg crash site. The wounded and disoriented Borg calls himself Third Of Five, which is normal for the Borg Hive Mind. However, detached from the collective, Third Of Five begins to think for himself, and adopts the name given him by Chief Engineer LaForge, Hugh. Hugh ends up reintegrated with the Borg cube, which causes chaos amoung the culture.
