Alice has always assumed that her friend Bob is really named "Robert." Then one day she gets a look at his driver's license and discovers that his first name is actually... Beelzebob? Basically, a character with an unusual name uses a more "normal" nickname. Generally this is because their actual name embarrasses them, though it could also just be hard for people to pronounce, reveal some secret about their identity, etc. What counts as "odd" or "normal" is relative to the setting and type of story. It could be a Gender-Blender Name, like if a man named "Sally" wants to go by "Sal." It could be culturally specific, like an Indian-American named Krishna deciding to go by "Kris." Or it could be outright fantastic, like a disguised alien named Zaxblupon calling himself "Zack." This can be Truth in Television for those with names from another culture their current location is less familiar with. This typically manifests in one of three ways; they shorten their name if possible, go by a different name or have said different name forced on them by others (the last of these is typically seen as extremely rude to the person, who tends not to appreciate the lack of effort in pronouncing their full name.) Super-Trope to Some Call Me "Tim". Compare/contrast Aerith and Bob, Embarrassing First Name, Embarrassing Middle Name, Embarrassing Last Name and Embarrassing Nickname. May be subject to a Given Name Reveal, though possibly one that people won't believe. A Naturalized Name is a more formal and bureaucratic version for immigrants to a new country. Protagonists following this trope would be a Hero with a Unique Name. Could subvert An Alien Named "Bob". |

Night World: Mrs. Rasmussen is referred to as Maddy by her nephew Ash. While discussing names with Poppy, Ash states he prefers for lamia to keep to their old traditions of choosing names associated with nature (such as plants, animals, and gemstones) rather than choosing more 'human-sounding' names to fit in. When Poppy mentions that Maddy isn't an uncommon name, Ash states it's actually short for Madder (a type of plant). Maggie befriends a witch she nicknames Cady, because her full name is a mouthful and Maggie couldn't make it out well due to Cady being seriously ill and slurring her words. It turns out that Maggie misheard her name as Arcadia when it's actually the similar-sounding Aradia. |

Star Wars Adventures 19: "Roger Roger": A Separatist B1 battle droid gets hit in the head with a stray blaster bolt deflected by Obi-Wan's lightsaber. This gives it a conscience that determines Obi-Wan and Captain Rex are greatly outnumbered by "bullies" (its fellow droids) and spontaneously decides to side with the Republic warriors. Its designation is B1-0516, which Captain Rex declares "a bit of a mouthful, even for a battle droid", so Rex decides to call the droid Bats instead. | |

The Dresden Files: Harry nicknames the Demon Chaunzaggoroth "Chauncy", which matches its incongruous Oxford accent. It also distracts him from the fact that Chauncy is still an unholy Faux Affably Evil monster, which nearly leads him to make a deadly misstep. The Denarian Polonius Lartessa is nearly always just referred to as Tessa. Her husband Nicodemus Archleone is also sometimes shortened to Nick, though in his case, usually only by Dresden himself. Harry's second daughter, Bonea, a spirit of intellect, is usually called "Bonnie". |

Nick murders her in an attempt to claim an inheritance that should rightfully go to Maggie.

The Stormlight Archive: Kaladin often went by Kal as a kid, since Kaladin sounded like a Lighteyes name, and thus somewhat pretentious. Cryptic-spren are all given names that are mathematical equations or something similar. Shallan first refers to her spren as "Pattern", which Pattern himself misinterprets and believes that means every Cryptic-spren's nickname is Pattern, but instead they are given nicknames such as "Design" and "Testament", artistic names befitting the artistic Lightweavers to which they are bonded. Adolin befriends a spren named Mayalarin, whom he promptly begins referring to as "Maya." Kaladin's own spren "Sylphrena" gets shortened to "Syl". |

Steven Universe: The protagonist's Missing Mom was known as Rose Quartz, but often just went by "Rose" for short. This fits the Crystal Gems' Theme Naming where each one is named after a gemstone but also functions as a normal name. This is further enforced after "A Single Pink Rose," which establishes her real name is the more obviously alien Pink Diamond. When Steven accidentally takes over Lars' body in "The New Lars", he learns that his real name is "Laramie." Only Lars' parents have ever called him Laramie, and Steven didn't even know that was his real name. Parodied in "Hit the Diamond", when Steven gives the Crystal Gems "human" names to keep the Ruby Squadron from knowing they're the fugitives they're looking for. While Amethyst and Sapphire are called "Amy" and "Sophie", Pearl is called "Earl" and Lapis is called "Bob". |

Star Trek: Q is a Trickster Mentor member of a race of reality-warping energy beings known as the Q Continuum. The crew of the Enterprise call him Q out of convenience. His individual name is apparently so long that it's wider than the width of the galaxy when written out. Recurring villain Harcourt Fenton Mudd goes by Harry. Star Trek: Voyager: Apparently, when B'Elanna Torres (a Half-Human Hybrid with an alien first name) was a child, she was nicknamed Lana. |

Viridian Saga: Protagonist Andi's first name is Andromeda. Fittingly enough, the book begins with her having a dream about her mythical namesake, as she's about to be killed by a monster but is saved by a handsome hero who's also the monster. Her Indian-American best friend goes by "Vik" instead of "Vivek." Somewhat related, "Riley" is derived from R'lyeh. It's not the character's real name, but a similar principle. His Uncle Neil and sister Chloe play this trope straight, however, as their real names are Nyarlathotep and Cthaeghya, respectively. |

In Fire & Blood, the Targaryens are a Foreign Ruling Class whose names are derived from their native Valyria, in contrast to the rest of Westeros, who go with names that are or evoke familiar English. Princess Rhaenyra's elder two sons are named Jacaerys and Lucerys, but go by the more mundane/Westerosi-sounding Jace and Luke respectively.note Jacaerys's father Laenor had originally wanted to name him the Westerosi Joffrey (Geoffrey/Jeffrey), but his grandfather vetoed it for a more traditional Valyrian name. | |

The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)'s characters take their name from the works of 19th-century writer Edgar Allan Poe, and thus some sound long, archaic and formal in the show's 21st-century America setting.

Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright's closest friends, like Maya and Larry, refer to him by the more normal-sounding "Nick." Apollo Justice's name is shortened to "Polly" by his closest companion Trucy. The Great Ace Attorney has the foreign-name variation: the Japanese characters Ryunosuke Naruhodo and Susato Mikotoba are nicknamed "Runo" and "Susie" by their English friend Iris Wilson. Iris also uses the nickname "Hurley" for her partner Herlock Sholmes. |

In So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, Arthur at first believes "Fenny" must be a nickname for some vaguely normal English girl's name like Fenella, but he is stymied when he tries to contact her at a local hospital, which informs him that they have no patients named Fenella. When he and the girl happen to meet again, he is surprised when she tells him she's really named Fenchurch. | |

Buffyverse: Angel's name, though odd for a man, is short for "Angelus", which was his evil vampire identity. Lorne's real name is "Krevlornswath". Truth be told, he doesn't really like the nickname either because combined with his skin, it makes people think of Lorne Greene. Spike often refers to Drusilla as "Dru," which sounds like the more normal name "Drew." Zigzagged with Anya. Originally, her name was Aud when she was a human before D'Hoffrin made her a vengeance demon and renamed her Anyanka, which she went by for hundreds of years. When she was Brought Down to Normal and became a human, she shortened the name to 'Anya'. Inverted in with Alexander "Xander" Harris, whose nickname is weirder than his real name. The oddness of his nickname is acknowledged when he gets struck with amnesia and, having only his driver's license to go by, takes the nickname "Alex". |

In the The Cat Who... Series novels, protagonist Qwill's librarian girlfriend is Polly Duncan. Very few people know that Polly's father was such a Shakespeare devotee that all of his children were named after characters from the plays, and Polly's real first name is actually Hippolyta. | |

One episode of Night Court introduces us to "Bull" Shannon's mother. She reveals that his real first name is Nostradamus. This is a name not really heard outside of the famous prognosticator whereas his nickname is a commonly used word for a male cow. | |
