Line 95:
* In the fake rockumentary ''Hard Core Logo'', the singer is Joe Dick (not Joe Mulgrew), the lead guitarist is Billy Tallent (not Bill Boise), and the drummer is Pipefitter (who may have forgotten his original name). The other member is John Oxenberger, who could never find a good nickname. {{spoiler|In the credits, it is revealed that with his new band, John is known as "The Ox".}}
* ''[[Despicable Me]]'': "It's Vector. Victor was my nerd name."
** And not even Victor calls Gru by ''his'' actual name, "Felonious". Nor does his wife, the Minions, his adoptive daughters, even ''his mother''. (Who calls him "son".) Clearly he hates his name.
* ''[[Stripes]]'': One of the soldiers introduces himself as nicknamed "Psycho". "If you call me Francis, I'll kill you."
* Darth Vader initially plays this trope straight in ''[[Star Wars|Return of the Jedi]]''. When Luke addresses him as 'Anakin', he responds, [[That Man Is Dead|"That name no longer has any meaning for me!"]]
Line 100 ⟶ 101:
* One of the bullies in ''[[Hocus Pocus]]'', Ice, hates being called "Ernie." This is presented as a fairly pathetic effort to seem cooler.
* <s>Ajax</s> Francis, in ''[[Deadpool (film)|Deadpool]]''.
