== [[Comic Books]] ==
* Gambit plays with this a little in ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|Uncanny Xmen]]'':
{{quote|To my friends, [[Funetik Aksent|de name's]] Remy LeBeau. To my enemies, it's Gambit! You can go on ahead an' forget dat first name right about now.}}
Line 18:
{{quote|'''Sheriff Bart:''' What's your name?
'''The Waco Kid:''' Well, my name is Jim, but most people call me... Jim. }}
* ''[[Ferris Bueller's
{{quote|'''Criminal Kid''': You didn't tell me your name.
'''Jeannie''': It's Jean, but a lot of guys call me Shauna.
Line 39:
== [[Literature]] ==
* Commander Vimes from ''[[Discworld]]'' allows those he really, really likes to just call him "Mister Vimes".
** Also:
{{quote|'''Vimes''': This is [[Obstructive Bureaucrat|Mr. A.E. Pessimal]], plain A.E. if he ever makes friends.}}
* From the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' ''[[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]]'' novels, the Doctor's latest companion meets the Master for the first time: "Summerfield. Bernice Summerfield. My friends call me Benny, but you can call me Professor Summerfield."
* From ''[[The Dresden Files
{{quote|'''Ramirez:''' Everyone else who lets me ride on their dinosaur calls me Carlos.}}
** The trope is very commonly subverted in ''The Dresden Files'' - Harry constantly corrects people (most often, Nicodemus Archleone and John Marcone) trying to call him that, insisting that they would never be his friends. He also [[Invoked Trope|does it himself]] all the time to grind people's gears, continuing to use first names after being explicitly told not to.
Line 65:
== [[Music]] ==
* Singer [[Eric Bogle]] traditionally introduces himself in song at the start of a concert. One of the introduction songs goes:
{{quote|''My name is Eric, some folk call me Eck,
''Call me Ricky and I'll break your neck,
''If you're feeling formal, Mr Bogle will do,
''But to my friends it's Eric, and I hope that means you. }}
== [[Recorded and Stand Up Comedy]] ==
* In the 1970s, this became the trademark of comedian [[Bill Saluga]]'s "Raymond J. Johnson" persona:
{{quote|My name is Raymond J. Johnson, Junior. Now you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johnny, or you can call me Sonny, or you can call me Junior; you can call me Ray J, you can call me RJ, you can call me RJJ. But you doesn't has to call me Johnson!}}
== [[Video Games]] ==
Line 81 ⟶ 85:
* From ''[[Phineas and Ferb]] [[The Movie|Across the Second Dimension]]'':
{{quote|'''[[Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain|Dr. Doofenshmirtz]]:''' And I'm Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz, but my friends call me... ''(trails off, sighs)'' [[Made Myself Sad|Man, I just got in such a funk]].}}
*
{{quote|I'm 1776, but my friends call me Sev. Will you be my friend?}}
* ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', when Homer and Flanders first meet:
{{quote|'''Ned Flanders:''' The handle says Flanders, but my friends call me Ned!
'''Homer Simpson:''' (''bored'') Hi, Flanders. }}
* ''[[South Park]]'', in the episode "Damien".
{{quote|'''Pip''': My name is Philip, but the kids call me Pip because they hate me.
'''Damien''': Then I shall call you Pip.
