This character always refers to their peers by their full given name, not their more commonly used nickname or diminutive form. It's not always a sign of aloofness, and they might even be the person's close friend, however, for whatever reason, they don't use nicknames. This is usually a sign of a serious or formal character. It might also signify either an age gap between characters or a professionalism between them. A Sub-Trope of Spock Speak. Compare to Full-Name Basis; You Called Me "X"; It Must Be Serious; Full-Name Ultimatum; First-Name Ultimatum, and Hates Being Nicknamed. Contrast with The Nicknamer. |

Jackie from That '70s Show calls Kelso and Hyde by their given first names Michael and Steven. She also calls Eric and Fez by their common names, but this is less notable, because only Hyde calls Eric 'Foreman', and nobody knows how to pronounce Fez's true name. | |

An Unkindness of Ghosts: Theo has called people by their proper names all his life, even addressing his father by his rank and surname. It's a sign of both his sense of propriety and a deeply isolated and emotionally abusive childhood. He keeps the habit with the few people he does care about, which his nanny (and birth mother) Melusine privately admits causes her a bit of a pang. | |

In the pilot of Leave It to Beaver, one of the things Beaver dislikes about his second-grade teacher, Miss Canfield, is her refusal to call him anything but his given name of Theodore. At the end of the episode, they find common ground in the fact that they are both new to the second grade (her teaching, him attending), and he provides her with some pointers—one of them being that she should call him what he prefers to be called. She agrees. | |

Donald "Ducky" Mallard from NCIS tends to refer to his colleagues by their full first names instead of nicknames ("Abigail" instead of "Abby", "Timothy" instead of "Tim", etc.), largely because he is a proper Scottish gentleman. There are two notable exceptions: Ducky calls Gibbs "Jethro" (his middle name and preferred form of address) instead of "Leroy" (his actual first name), and he always refers to his assistant/successor Jimmy Palmer as "Mr./Dr. Palmer". It's also interesting that he calls his friends by their proper names but prefers that they call him "Ducky" instead of "Donald". | |

Peanuts: Eudora refers to Charlie Brown as "Charles". This doesn't reflect formality and is instead a sign of her weird personality. The very formal Marcie calls her friends by their full names. Peppermint Patty is her exception, but she does use "Patricia" the few times she doesn't just call her "sir". Although she usually is The Nicknamer, Peppermint Patty always calls Lucy "Lucille". This may be because she doesn't like Lucy very much. |

House of Anubis: Victor, being the old-fashioned character he is, refers to all the students either with their full names ("Nina Martin") or with honorifics ("Miss Martin"). When he first met Eddie and referred to him as "Edison", Eddie's request to be referred to as Eddie was immediately rejected, and the very fact that he'd even asked for Victor to call him by his nickname shocked the other students. The one time he didn't use a student's full name was in the Season 2 finale, where his referring to Nina as simply "Nina" was played as a show of warmth and affection. | |

Carson from Downton Abbey insists on calling everyone by their proper names, signifying his strict and serious nature. When the new footman tells him that he prefers to be called Jimmy and that everybody calls him that, Carson completely ignores this and calls him James anyway. | |
