== Advertising ==
* There was a local commercial in Toronto about ten years ago for a garment store called "Tip Top Tailors". It featured a rather silly montage of a James Bond-type character saving a girl in a [[Thriller]] environment. At the end the man says, "Tailors. Tip Top Tailors".
Line 20:
== Anime & Manga ==
* In the first episode of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]!'', Sōsuke introduces himself to a hysterical runaway as "Sagara... Sōsuke Sagara," as he rescues her from the battlefield.
** Of course, in Japanese, family names come first; Sōsuke's line in the Japanese dialogue is "Sagara... Sagara Sōsuke," which is more comparable to saying "James... James Bond," in English.
* ''[[
* ''[[Heroman]]'' features an example without a first name: "Minami, Doctor Minami."
* In ''[[Escaflowne]]'', Hitomi introduces herself to Allen with her first name first, then her name in Japanese order (so it comes out as "Hitomi, Kanzaki Hitomi" in Japanese). In the English dub, she introduces herself as "Hitomi, Hitomi Kanzaki". Allen does not make any mistakes with her name, despite the fact that Asturian name order follows the English pattern.
* The title character of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'' introduces herself to Vita as "Nanoha. Takamachi Nanoha." when Vita asks for her name ([[My Name Is Not Durwood|Vita promptly declares it as too hard to remember]]). In the ''Battle of Aces'' video game, Nanoha introduces herself in this manner again when she comes across a [[Doppelganger|Dark Piece that took the shape of a Vita who had yet to meet her]].

* In one of the books, [[James Bond]], while working for the villain under an assumed name, introduces himself as "Hazard. Mark Hazard." Luckily the villain [[Genre Blind|doesn't pick up on it]].

* The aforementioned Sally Lockhart example, from the television adaptations of the novels by [[Philip Pullman]].
* In ''Mobile'', Michael Kitchen's character introduces himself by saying "The name's West, David West". Kitchen played Bill Tanner in two [[James Bond]] films.
Line 94:
* [[Chuck]] did this once or twice, but usually with an alias, not his real name.
* [[Lost]] has this in spades. Nearly all -if not all- characters introduce themselves at least once -if not multiple times- in this fashion.

The saved [[
* A variant occurs in ''[[The Russians Are Coming]]''. Walt Whitaker introduces himself to the leader of the shore party this way, but gets cut off after he says "Whitaker, Walt--". From then on, the officer refers to him as "Whitaker Walt".
* ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'': Daniel Jackson, needing an alias in a hurry: "Olo. [[Star Wars|Hans... Olo]]."
* ''[[Space Cases]]'': "*twitch* Hello Harlan Harlan Band."
* The opening credits of the original half-hour version of ''Danger Man'' have Patrick McGoohan saying "My name is Drake. John Drake." Note that this was ''[[Older Than They Think|three years before]]'' Sean Connery ever said "My name is Bond. James Bond."
* This happened on an early episode of ''[[Green Acres]]'' when Oliver was introducing himself to some of the Hooterville residents, including Uncle Joe Bradley (crossing over from ''[[

'''Uncle Joe:''' You've got enough names for two people. }}
* The TV version of ''Starman'' had the Starman (Who took on the body of Paul Edward Forrester) briefly address his son as "Scott Scott Hayden" despite him knowing that "Hayden" was Jenny's surname.

* In a [[Flash Back]] in ''[[Smallville]]'', Ma Kent tells the sheriff that the kid is called Clark "... because we felt my family's name would be appropriate..." (actually they hadn't thought of any and that was the first she made up). Dunno if that's canon in other incarnations, but at least in ''Smallville'', [[Superman|the Man of Steel]] can rightfully present himself as "Clark Kent Clark".
* Sterling does it in the ''[[Leverage]]'' episode "The Zanzibar Marketplace Job". He's playing hero in front of a bunch of news cameras, so it actually makes sense.
Line 117:
** Gordon subverts this, as his name actually ''is'' Gordon Gordon Wyatt. [[Mind Screw|Unless he's just messing with Booth.]]
