For extra humor, characters with limited language skills or from another culture may subsequently address our Ms. Lockhart as "Lockhart Sally Lockhart".

 

 

== 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".

* ''[[Ro-Kyu-Bu!]]'': Token Loli Hinata does this, when the basketball club introduces themselves to Subaru. Although "Hinata. Hakamada Hinata" is more of James, Bond James though.

* [[Medabots]]: When Karin introduced herself to Ikki, she introduced herself as "Karin, Karin Junlei".

 

 

 

== Films -- Animation ==

* ''Pinocchio'': "[[Species Surname|Cricket]]'s the name, Jiminy Cricket."

* [[Charlotte's Web|"My name is Charlotte, Charlotte A Cavatica."]]

* [[Cars|"Finn McMissile, British Intelligence."]]

* Virtually a given in any ''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]'' movie, obviously (most of the times, entering in [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] level).

** Averted in ''[[From Russia with Love]]'', ''[[Thunderball]]'' (although technically said by another character) and ''[[Quantum of Solace]]''.

** Also played with in the [[Duran Duran]] video for the theme to ''[[A View to a Kill]]''; toward the end of the video, the band's lead singer identifies himself as "Bon. Simon LeBon."

** "Trench, Sylvia Trench" from ''[[Dr. No]]'' is actually the first charater to use this trope. It's in response to this introduction that Bond first utters the deathless line.

* In ''[[Neverwhere]]'', the protagonist fumbles over his initial self-introduction. Door doesn't seem all that surprised at meeting a man seemingly named "Richard-Richard-Mayhew-Dick".

* [[Once Per Episode|Every single volume]] in the ''[[Geronimo Stilton]]'' series starts off with Geronimo introducing himself to the readers as "Stilton, Geronimo Stilton." One of the books was even titled "My Name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton."

{{quote|''"Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle," said the pale boy carelessly, noticing where Harry was looking. "And my name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."''}}

{{quote|''Carl could not resist the temptation. "My name is Hamilton, Carl Hamilton", he said.''}}

* 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.

 

== Music Videos ==

 

 

 

== Video Games ==

* The ''[[Leisure Suit Larry]]'' games featured Larry introducing himself as "Larry--Larry Laffer." At one point, a character responds with, "Oh, I so love dual first names. One time I met [[wikipedia:Boutros Boutros-Ghali|Boutrous Boutrous-Ghali]]!"

** Just imagine the introduction: "Boutros-Ghali, Boutros Boutros-Ghali". It works with pretty much anyone on [[wikipedia:List of people with reduplicated names|this list]].

* Also done by Bond's [[Canon Discontinuity|nephew]] James Bond Jr., in the cartoon of the same name, who would introduce himself as "Bond, James Bond, Junior."

{{quote|'''[[Atop the Fourth Wall|Linkara]]:''' It's amazing how adding just that one word drains the response of any kind of power.}}

* In the Bond parody on ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'', "To Russia with Lab Mice", Brain introduces himself to Russian mouse Mousey Galore as "Brain... The Brain."

* On an episode of ''[[Arthur]]'', a movie preview is shown for an entry in the James ''Hound'' series. In it, the hero introduces himself as "Hound. James Hound." Arthur does the same later when imagining himself in the role.
