Line 1:
{{trope}}
As the [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]] trope says, some characters have the misfortune of being known only by their job title. [[His Name Really Is "Barkeep"]] is about those rare times where [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]] because "Barkeep" is the guy's ''actual name''. May happen as a result of [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]
Milder examples can include a nickname that turns out to actually be the character's name. For a full comedy incarnation of this trope, the given name will be the full job description.
Line 42:
* The Hunter in ''[[With Strings Attached (Fanfic)|With Strings Attached]]''. His real name is Jim Hunter.
* In ''[[Calvin At Camp (Fanfic)|Calvin At Camp]]'', one character is always referred to as "The Bear." Turns out, that's his real name, complete with the "The."
* One of the founding members<ref>It's no great secret what his original name was, but he doesn't seem to like seeing it referenced, so we won't say what it is here.</ref> of [[Eyrie Productions Unlimited]] legally changed his name to his nickname "MegaZone". (And reports great enjoyment at seeing how direct mail marketing outfits try to cope with it.)
