Line 27:

*** In fact, the Gundam Meisters usually end up referring to not only the other Meisters but ''themselves'' a lot this way. As shown in the quote above, [[The Typical Gundam SEED Destiny|Shinn gets annoyed by it.]]

*** And how could we forget Graham Aker, screaming in anguish as his favourite wingman is shot down:

** Domon Kasshu from ''[[G Gundam]]'' is usually refereed to with both his names by almost everyone.

* In ''[[Death Note]]'', Light refers to Raye Penber by his full name, and does the same to many of his victims. It is justified, however, as his full name would need to be remembered and written in the Death Note.

Line 69:

== Fan Fic ==

* 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.}}

** In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2946083/1/Metal_Gear_Solid_Fight_of_Metal_Gears Metal Gear Solid: Fight of Metal Gears]'' and [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2953859/1/Metal_Gear_Solid_Fight_of_Metal_Gears_2 its sequel] by the same author, everyone is referred to by full name in narration and dialogue.

Line 116:

* In ''[[For Whom the Bell Tolls]]'', the narrator does this to the protagonist Robert Jordan.

* The main character in John Green's ''Paper Towns'' has Margo Roth Spiegelman, of the [[Rule of Cool]] variety.

* In the [[His Dark Materials]] trilogy, certain characters such as Iorek Byrnison and Serafina Pekkala are almost always referred to by their full name.

* In both the original picture books and the [[Animated Adaptation]], the main characters of the ''[[Guess How Much I Love You]]'' series, Big Nutbrown Hare and Little Nutbrown Hare, refer to each other by their full names. It feels a bit odd, as they're strongly implied to be father and son. The animated series confirms this, and also introduces a number of other characters, all of whom are on a full-name basis with each other, apparently as a means of staying true to the style of the picture books.

Line 148:

** Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, is always referred to as Bob Vance.

*** And he refers to himself as "Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration".

* Rich ditz Mary Cherry on ''[[Popular]]'' is always referred to with her full name. (The same goes for her mother, Cherry Cherry.) Also, not only does April Tuna get this all the time, but she uses it on other people as well, most notably Carmen Ferrera.

* In ''[[Merlin (TV series)|Merlin]]'' everyone refers to Guinevere as "Gwen", save for her [[Love Interest|Love Interests]] Arthur and Lancelot, who almost always call her by her full name.
