Some beings with overly long names realize that it would quickly become frustrating if every second person they told their full name to struggled in vain to pronounce it correctly, and thus offer a shortened version. For comedy value, this shorter version may be a mundane human name, such as Bob or Max. Can overlap at times with [[They Call Me Mister Tibbs]].

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Ren and Miu in ''[[
* In ''[[Psychic Academy]]'', psychics are called by the names of their [[Battle Aura|psychic eminences]]. The average eminence name is four words long. Thus they're generally referred to by the first word in the name. The main character's brother has a ''six-word'' name - which gets shortened to [[My Hero Zero|Zero]] ("Zerodyme" is the first word).
* ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'': Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV. Just call her Ed.
* Z's introduction in ''[[Tenchi Muyo!]]''. It's something along the lines of "Me? I'm Z-0001332536893. [[Lampshade Hanging|But that's too long]], so just call me 'Z.'"
* In the anime version of ''[[Trigun]]'', Vash The Stampede's full name may or may not be "Valentinez Alkalinella Xifax Sicidabohertz Gumigobilla Blue Stradivari Talentrent Pierre Andre Charton-Haymoss Ivanovicci Baldeus George Doitzel Kaiser III".

* A variant is in the Tom Hanks rom-com ''[[Splash]]'': when he asks his new friend (Daryl Hannah) for her name, she tells him. Unfortunately, she's a mermaid, and her name consists of several syllables at a pitch which breaks glass. [[
* In ''[[The Fifth Element]]'', the Fifth Element's name is 'Leeloominaï Lekatariba Lamina-Tchaï Ekbat De Sebat'. Also known as Leeloo.

'''Jim:''' Well, my name is Jim, but most people call me... Jim. }}
* In ''[[The Cat from Outer Space]]'', the cat's name is Zunar-J-5/9 Doric-4-7, but you can just call him "Jake".
== [[Literature]] ==
* Zeb in ''Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz'', the fourth [[Land of Oz
** And be [[Fun
* The Ents in ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]''. Treebeard's full name might take days or weeks to tell - even if he were willing to share something so personal. Of course, this is also because they talk ''really'' slowly. (Entish is an untranslatably slow language, and names are very descriptive ''in'' said untranslatably slow language.)
** According to Treebeard, Entish runs on the principle that the longer something has been around, the more words it takes to describe it (considering it rather offensive to call a hill 'a hill' for instance). In an early draft of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', Treebeard mentions that Tom Bombadil, the oldest living being in the world, has the longest of names. (In other words, beings in Entish don't have names so much as they have stories.)
* Slartibartfast in ''[[
** Ford Prefect's birth name was apparently so complicated that Ford ''himself'' never learned to pronounce it - his father was the [[Last of His Kind]] and Ford never picked up the language (Dad died of shame). His childhood friends nicknamed him Ix.
* Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill in ''[[
** Andalite names aren't entirely analogous to Western humans' first, middle, and last names: Ax's brother is Prince Elfangor-Sirinial-Shamtul, and when Ax mentions his parents' names, it's the middle sections that are the same - one parent has "-Sirinial-" and the other "-Esgarrouth-".
** The original full name of the [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien|godlike]] [[Ascend to
*** Some clarification may be in order here-The Ellimist's species comes from a planet with an apparently inhospitable ground level, and they live on chunks of crystal held aloft by the combined efforts of perhaps ninety percent of the community's population at any given time. Free-flight time is strictly scheduled so that their crystal doesn't crash and kill everyone. So his given name is, in fact, a job designation and an address.
* In the later ''[[Isaac Asimov|Foundation]]'' novels, the inhabitants of Gaia have long names but are referred to by a single syllable from that name. For example, Blissenobiarella is called "Bliss", and this is not even a very long name by Gaian standards (nor would a "Bliss Nobiarella" be long by Western standards). Since the use of a single syllable is a cultural thing, she feels uncomfortable using the full names of other people even if they have short names, so she often calls Trevize "Trev" and Pelorat "Pel".
* The Chiss in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]] have long names, but may allow others to address them by their "[[First

** Thrawn was, among his own people, somewhat infamous for being non-traditional. He, however, regarded it simply as being pragmatic. Not using his somewhat tongue-twisting full name among outsiders was the least of his defiance of not so logical traditions. {{spoiler|He eventually went too far for his people to accept, and was exiled for it. But [[The Chessmaster|Thrawn]] [[The Strategist|being]] [[Magnificent Bastard|Thrawn]], [[Xanatos Gambit|this was his prefered outcome]]. If they didn't, it would be a license to go further.}}
* In the [[Discworld]] book ''[[
** In another of Pratchett's works, ''Strata'', an alien character says "My name is sixty-three syllables long, but you may call me Silver".
* Fred the sentient [
** Then there's Ed the shark (full name Ed'Rastekeresket t'k Gh'shestaesteh). And Filif (Filifermanhathrhumneits'elhhessaifnth) the tree-like alien. And, too, S'reee (S'reee a!hruuniAoul-mmeiihnhwiii!r) the humpback whale. The author really likes this trope, it seems.
** Roshaun almost completely inverts this trope; his full name consists of a laundry list of fancy alien titles and honorifics (The longest we see is Roshaun ke Nelaid am Seriv am Teliuyve am Meseph am Veliz am Teriaunst am det Wellakhit). He insists on reciting the full version whenever introduced, and attempts to get everyone else to call him by this too, mostly because of his royalty complex, rather than offering a shortened name. Naturally, Dairine ignores this.
** No
* The tinker gnomes of ''[[Dragonlance]]'' have names that fill several volumes in the great library of Mount Nevermind, which include their full family tree and any notable accomplishments from their lives. When talking amongst each other, they use a shortened version which "only" takes about a minute to say. The other races have a tendency to only use the first 2-3 syllables of a gnome's name, a practice they find demeaning.
** Even the name of the Tinker Gnomes' ''mountain'' falls under this
** Not to mention the names of some of the elves - although those are [[The Unpronounceable|easier on the tongue...]]
* In ''[[Wild Cards]]'', Doctor Tachyon's actual name is Prince Tisianne brant Ts'ara sek Halima sek Ragnar sek Omian of House Ilkazam (and that's just his first name; his full name would list his genealogy for the last thousand generations). The American scientists and military men he makes first contact with are endlessly corrected on how it's said, and mispronouncing it is quite the insult. So he is given the much-simpler nickname Dr. Tachyon.
* One of the main characters in ''Empire Of The Ants'' trilogy by Bernard Werber is an ant called 103 683. In the third book, the other ants decide to just refer to her as 103 since they find it is a bit too long.
* Juliet {{spoiler|(Ajulutsikael)}} in ''The Devil You Know'' and ''Vicious Circle'' by Mike Carey.
* In the last book of the ''[[My Teacher Is an Alien]]'' series by [[
* In [[The Chronicles of Narnia|The Horse and His Boy]], the talking horse Breehy-hinny-brinny-hoohy-hah is more commonly referred to as Bree, though he himself finds his companion's name, Shasta, quite a mouthful.

** "Ayla" is actually her name, but instead of pronouncing it with the emphasis on the first syllable like we would, the closest any of the Clan can come is "[[Ay LA]]", with emphasis on the last syllable. It's explained that the Clan have very limited vocal range, so even Ayla's simple name is too hard for most of them to pronounce. It's possible the introduced herself the same way Jondolar does in later novels - with her mother's name and cave number after her name, then decided her first name would be enough.

* The [[Liaden Universe]] series features the Clutch Turtles, a very long-lived race whose names double as lists of their accomplishments. A newly-hatched turtle will have a name only a few words long, but a mature turtle's name might take several ''hours'' to say. One of the main characters in the series is... (deep breath), "Eleventh Shell Fifth Hatched Knife Clan of Middle River's Spring Spawn of Farmer Greentrees of the Spearmakers Den: The Edger." And that's the ''short'' form of his name, "used by the Clans of Men on those things called visas." His human and Liaden friends just call him "Edger".
* In [[Forgotten Realms|Azure Bonds]], the [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|evil red dragon]] Mistinarperadnacles Hai Draco harasses our heroes. She goes by Mist.

* In ''[[The Cobra Trilogy]]'', the alien Trofts have complex names with a lot of [[Punctuation Shaker]]; recognising that humans find them hard to pronounce, they usually go by a descriptive alias such as "Speaker One" or "Warrior". They are particularly impressed when some humans do manage to pronounce their proper names.

** In "The Long Game", the Editor introduces "Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe. I call him Max." Although he's referred to as Jagrafess afterwards. There was only one successful take of that line: the actor simply could not get it right.
*** Russell Davies, they say, loved polysyllabic names.

** ''[[Virgin New Adventures|Lungbarrow]]'' had Quencessetianobayolocaturgrathadeyyilungbarrowmas, the 422nd Kithriarch of the House of Lungbarrow. The other Time Lords call him Quences. Also, Leela's given Time Lord name is Lady Leelandredloomsagwinaechegesmia.
** Subverted in "Voyage Of The Damned" where we have Bannakaffalatta, whom the Doctor asks if he can call Banna. Bannakaffalatta refuses.
* In ''[[Star Trek: Voyager]]'', Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix Zero One tends to go by the name "Seven of Nine" or just "Seven". When Janeway suggested the shortened form, she found it 'imprecise, but acceptable'.

* Parodied and exaggerated on [[The Mighty Boosh]], when Vince meets a mysterious man in the forest with a door in his gigantic afro hair. The man starts listing off various pseudonyms that he has gone by. After the show cuts to another scene and back again, he's still going. (He gets his own episode in Series 2, incidentally, and his face adorns that DVD...)

** In one of the TV movies, a recently-arrived Newcomer was named [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Norman Conquest]]. Cathy comments that the immigration people must be scraping the bottom of the barrel.
* In That 70's Show, we have Fez, whose entire name took the entirity of a school bell to pronounce, and of which we only know the group said they would never remember. This leads to Foreign Exchange Student being his name as an anagram, changed to a z for sound. Fun fact, when he was stating his name that we never hear during the bell, and you only see his mouth moving, his only reciting the casts name.

** This is, however, nothing in comparison to the accumulated names of senior Adeptus Custodes (the Emperor's personal guard), whose names are inscribed onto the insides of their armour starting at the collar and wind around the inside. Some are so long that they fill all the available space on the inside of the armour and wind round onto the outside - Constantin Valdor, Captain of the Custodes and personal acquaintance of the Emperor and several Primarchs, had a name over ''1900'' elements long.
* ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' has some dark elven Houses with official and shorter common names. Try to say three times, for example, "[[The Dark Elf Trilogy|Drizzt]] Daermon N'a'shezbaernon", and you'll see why "Do'Urden" was used more often. For that matter, archaic High Drow as a whole is reserved mainly for ritual or official use and so different from the everyday dialect that few drow but priestesses can understand it.

* Used twice in ''[[Mass Effect]]'', by the hanar Delan (Full name: Delanynder) and the turian Lilihierax, who prefers to be called Li since nobody bothers to get his name right.
** In the case of Delanynder, that isn't even his true name; hanar only use their "soul name" with people they are close to, adopting a "face name" for regular interaction. That is, EVERY hanar uses this trope.

** Salarians seem like this at first, with each one's full name including their home city, planet, cluster etc. But they are actually [[Subverted Trope|a subversion]], since the last two names on that list ''are'' their family name, and personal name.
