Line 275:
* In ''The Comebacks'', Coach Lambeau Fields consistently mispronounces Aseel Tare's name as "[[Game-Breaking Injury|ACL Tear]]."
* In ''[[Bride and Prejudice]]'' Darcy's mother keeps calling Lalita ''Lolita''.
* In the first live-action ''[[Scooby-Doo (film)||Scooby Doo]]'' movie, Fred cannot get Mondavarious's name right. Though funnily enough he says it correctly once.
* ''[[Empire Records]]'': "MY NAME ISN'T FUCKING WARREN!" Kind of unusual because he brings it on himself—when asked his name, he gives the smart-ass answer of "[[Warren Beatty]]". Characters who were there for that exchange immediately start calling him Warren out of lack of anything else to call him, and it sticks enough that people who weren't there assume it's his actual name. Also, we never find out what his real name ''is''.
* In ''Club Dread'', Juan keeps pronouncing Penelope's name as Peen-na-lope after first seeing it on her name tag, with the "lope" part being pronounced the same way as the last syllable of "antelope". This is an odd case of Type C because he actually has a crush on her and still can't get her name right. [[Truth in Television]] in a way, since the [[Running Gag]] was inspired by co-writers Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan seeing ''[[Carlitos Way]]'' in a theater and hearing someone in the audience loudly ask "What kind of a name is Peen-na-lope?" when Penelope Ann Miller's name appeared in the opening credits.

* One of [[CM Punk]]'s [[Running Gag]]s during his stint as guest commentator on ''[[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] NXT'' Season 3 was his inability to remember the names of the NXT Rookies.
{{quote|'''[[CM Punk]]:''': I thought Francine was going to win.
'''Josh Matthews''': Maxine.
Line 727:
** This becomes a plot point when the [[Whatevermancy|Foolamancer]] he brought to cover his escape is mentally damaged and unable to function properly—addressing the Foolamancer by name might help bring him around, but Stanley doesn't remember what his real name is. Stanley got much better at remembering the names of his underlings (at least the moderately important ones) after that.
** Becomes a [[Running Gag]] [http://www.erfworld.com/book-2-archive/?px=%2F2010-07-16.png here], with the troll Zhopa.
* Due to [[{{Cloudcuckoo Lander|Eddie]] being the one to originally introduce him, almost all the main cast of ''[[Emergency Exit]]'' calls Jurinjo "Sancho".
* ''[[Penny Arcade (Webcomic)|Penny Arcade]]''
** Gabe does it in [http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/6/24/ this strip].
