Full-Name Basis: Difference between revisions

[[File:FullNameBasis 532.jpg|link=Scott Pilgrim|right]]

Some characters will [[Last-Name Basis|stick to formal address]], some go straight for the [[First-Name Basis]]. Others [[Hey, You|don't even bother with names]]. When none of these will do, and the character is not [[No Name Given]] or [[The Trope Without a Title]], you get the '''Full-Name Basis'''. This is a good sign that the character might be a [[Fish Out of Water]]. Sometimes it is used just because the full name [[Rule of Cool|sounds more cool or intimidating]], or at least the user [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|believes that it does]] (especially when it's the [[Badass Boast|user's own name]]). Obviously, if someone is on a '''Full-Name Basis''', a [[Full Name Ultimatum]] loses its effectiveness.

{{examples}}

== Anime and Manga ==

* Tatewaki and Kodachi Kuno in ''[[Ranma ½]]'' have a tendency to do this in most cases, generally with the only exceptions to the rule being that they tend to refer to each ''other'' with very sarcastic terms of endearment. The other exception would be Ranma himself, whom Kodachi refers to as "Ranma darling."

* In ''[[Panzer World Galient]]'', the majority of the characters meeting Hy Shaltat always address to him by his full name. Somewhat justified, given that his first name is very short.

* Stephen Stills from ''[[Scott Pilgrim]]''.

* Dead Girl did this a lot when she first joined X-Force/X-Statix.

* A well-known [[Fan Fiction]] series of ''[[Half Life]]'', "[[Half Life: Full Life Consequences|Full Life Consequences]]", has ''every'' character refer to each other by their full names. For an example:

{{quote|When John Freeman got to where the screaming was started from he found his brother Gorden Freeman fighting the final boss and Gordon said "John Freeman! Over here!" so John Freeman went there to where Gordon Freeman was fighting.}}

* There is also a mega crossover in which Beyond Birthday (of ''[[Death Note]]'') refers to his favorite "fictional character" by full name only... [[Sarcasm Mode|naturally]], it's Edward Cullen. Lampshaded in every possible way.
