Some people are [[Only Known by Their Nickname]], others are on [[Last-Name Basis]], while some people are primarily known to the public by their initials or their initials plus their last name. The reasons may vary. Perhaps they have an [[Embarrassing First Name]] they'd rather not use, and maybe they have an [[Overly Long Name]] that needs to be abbreviated. Others may think it sounds classier, and some may prefer the fact that it is more gender neutral.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* C.C. from ''[[Code Geass]]'' (it's pronounced C-two).
** The same goes for V.V.
* TK, In the dub version of ''[[Digimon]]'', (his full name is Takeru Takaishi, [[Dub Name Change|in the Japanese, at least]]).
* ''[[Angel Beats!]]'' has the American TK.
* T.R. (Thomas Riley) Edwards from ''[[Robotech]]''. Some sources erroneously assume that he has a hyphenated last name (it's true that Riley is usually a last name). However, if this was the case, he would be properly known as T. Riley-Edwards.
== [[Comic Books]] ==
