* Fanfic Author [[Meowth Rocket]] a.k.a. Meowth's Toon Dragon has this subverted slightly. He's not that uneasy about people he knows and even strangers calling him by his real first name (at times).<ref>His birth name is Joshua.</ref> But he's very secretive on what his last name is, not as much out of privacy but more out of embarrassment. People have asked him if the name in his email address is his full name and he's flat-out refused to answer, only telling his closest friends his full name. An old Fanfiction.net profile supposedly has his full name, but he's refused to tell if that's genuine or if it's an alias.
* [[Played for Laughs]] in ''Annals of Arithmancy'', the sequel to the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[[The Arithmancer]]''. Once she gets her doctorate, Hermione Granger keeps telling people just to call her [[Doctor Who|"The Doctor"]]; to her intense disappointment, almost no one does.
* The protagonist of ''[[Magical Girl Noir Quest]]'' Chiaki Matsuda, who has identity issues (on account of amnesia) objects to being called by her past names or alternate names. The strength of her objection depends on the name she is being called and who is saying it. She ''really'' wanted to object to Hazuki calling her Nameless One, but [[Deer in the Headlights|she was too paralyzed with fear]]. She seems particularly opposed to "Nameless One" and "Akemi Homura". She probably hates being called those names even more than being called [[Embarrassing Nickname|Ol Noodles]]. The name/nickname she has renounced least strongly is Murderface (both out of futility and that she hasn't fully renounced that identity).
