{{trope}}
There are a lot of characters with [[No Name Given]] out there. This trope is where an adaptation is made of the character's story and the character is given a name. This can range from the main character to secondary characters as well. The character may have become an [[Ascended Extra]] in the adaptation. It often serves to make the character seem more relatable though whether or not this works is up for debate. Another variation is where the character doesn't have a last name and is given one in the adaptation. Doesn't apply to characters whose names are changed in the adaptation. Compare [[Canon Name]] which is about linear installments.

* In the original novel ''[[The Witches]]'' the protagonist isn't named (he's the narrator), his grandmother is called "Grandmamma" by him and the Grand High Witch is referred to as...[[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"|well the Grand High Witch]]. In the film version the boy is called Luke, his grandmother Helga and the Grand High Witch is called Eva Ernst though it's never said if this is her real name or an alias she uses when checking into the hotel.
* In the ''[[X-Men]]'' comics, Rogue's real name is unknown. In the [[X-Men (Film)|live action films]] she is given the name Marie D'Ancanto.
* The Joker's name has never been revealed in the comics but in Tim Burton's ''[[Batman (Film)|Batman]]'' he is named Jack Napier.
