* [[Older Than Radio]]: The Armenian folktale ''The Daredevils of Sassoun'' is commonly just called ''David of Sassoun'' after the main character, despite the real title sounding much cooler.
* Even the Wikipedia page starts with "''[[Robinson Crusoe]]'' is a novel by Daniel Defoe..." The actual title was:
{{quote| ''[[Long Title|The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un‐inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver’d by Pyrates.]]''}}
* ''[[Gulliver's Travels|Gullivers Travels]]''. While his name is still in the title, it's not just "Gulliver's Travels". The full title was: "Travels Into Several Remote Nations of the World in Four Parts by Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then Captain of Several Ships."
