Line 8:
Compare [[I Never Said It Was Poison]], where a suspect incriminates himself by revealing confidential evidence only the person involved in the crime would know, and [[Spotting the Thread]], where the spy is an impostor imitating someone Alice knows, instead of acting as a new person.
{{examples
== Anime and Manga ==
* In ''[[Needless]]'', Mio sneaks her way into Cruz's team. Though he doesn't find out for sure she's a mole until Mio turns on them, Cruz quickly becomes suspicious of her when she calls him "Cruz" as opposed to "Yamada" (his nickname, which everyone in the team uses instead of his real name).
* A variant in ''[[Monster (Anime)|Monster]]'': Tenma realizes that a couple of policemen aren't what they seem when they address him as "Dr. Tenma" after he only told them his name and not that he was a doctor.
* In ''[[Jo
* In the Hoshiyomi filler arc of ''[[Inuyasha]]'', demons manage to get a photo of three of Kagome's friends from her backpack, and use it to create puppets of them in order to trick Kagome and Hojo into handing over the magic blade that their master needs. Kagome is suspicious to begin with, but her suspicions are confirmed when one of the three calls her by her name - which she hadn't mentioned to them.

* In the [[Harry Potter]] fic "Make a Wish", the auror interviewing Harry after he killed an assassin with accidental magic referred to him by his assumed name of "Mr. Black" despite the lack of an introduction. Harry commented afterwards to another auror on the team that "His technique was so calm and relaxed that I don't even remember telling him my name."
Line 31:
== Films - Live-Action ==
* In ''[[The Truman Show (Film)|The Truman Show]]'', Truman's attempt to drive out of town with his wife ended when an unknown cop told them the road was closed. However, the cop then addressed Truman by name without ever being told his name or shown any ID. This immediately lets Truman know something is up.
* In ''[[The
* A variation occurs in ''[[City of Angels (Film)|City of Angels]]''. Seth calls Maggie by name and when asked points out that she's wearing a nametag. Later, she pulls off the nametag and it only shows her last name.
* Played with in an uncharacteristically subtle moment early on in ''[[Red Eye (Film)|Red Eye]]'', in which the villain ends up saying the name of the heroine's father in conversation with her and she ''doesn't'' notice that he'd just said a name she'd never told him. Probably a good many people in the audience didn't either.
