* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' spin-off novels have given names to several Time Lords previously only known by nicknames: the Master (Koschei), the Rani (Ushas), the Meddling Monk (Mortimus), and the War Chief (Magnus). (The last of these is a continuity patch: ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' once ran a comic strip with a young First Doctor [refered to as "[[Only Known by Their Nickname|Thete]]"] arguing with a contemporary named Magnus. At the time this was clearly meant to be the Master, but when the books revealed the Master's real name as Koschei, Magnus had to be someone else...)
Line 60:
* In the book ''A Day with Wilbur Robinson'', Wilbur's friend, who narrates the story, goes unnamed. When [[Adaptation Expansion|expanded]] into ''[[Meet the Robinsons]]'', he is given the name Lewis. {{spoiler|He also turns out to be known also as Wilbur's father, Cornelius Robinson.}}
* The [[Disney Animated Canon]] has named several [[Fairy Tale]] characters who did not have names originally:
** The dwarves in ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs]]''.
** The stepmother and stepsisters in ''[[Cinderella (Disney film)|Cinderella]]''.
** Everyone in ''[[The Little Mermaid]]''. The original only identifies the characters as "the little mermaid", "the sea witch", "the prince", and so forth.
