Line 226:
* In ''NCIS'', Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
* In ''[[Doctor Who]]'', [[Meaningful Name|Dorothy Gale]] McShane prefers going by 'Ace,' possibly because she doesn't think an [[Action Girl]] should be called Dorothy.
* ''[[Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' has fearless transport pilot Hoban. Hoban Washburne, that is, better known as "Wash". As he explains in the ''Serenity'' novelization, "Why would anyone call themselves Hoban?" The trope is notably averted by Jayne, who seems manly enough to pull off a name that sounds exactly like "Jane."
* William Andrew Phillip Bodie, in ''[[The Professionals]]'' only ever went by the name "Bodie".
* In ''[[Mr Beldevere]]'', the title character's first name is {{spoiler|Lyn}}.
