History Main / FirstNameUltimatum

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'': Whenever [[HalfIdenticalTwins Phil and Lil DeVille]] get into an argument, they'll address each other by their full first names, Phillip and Lillian.

* Famously inverted by Sheldon at the end of the ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' episode ''The Creepy Candy Coating Corollary'' as a shout-out to ''Film/StarTrekTheWrathOfKhan''.
-->'''Sheldon:''' "WHEA-TONNNNNNNNNNNN" ([[AstronomicZoom echos off-planet]])

* This one is likely to be incomprehensible to non-Swedes, but it has to be said: '''"EEEEMIIIIIIIL! FÖR'''''GRÖM'''''MADE ONGE!!"''' (Just in case: Creator/AstridLindgren, ''Emil of Lönneberga'', TheMovie (well, one of them). It's always Emil's father who yells this ('Wretched child!').)

* ComicBook/XMen: Other characters tend to do this to ComicBook/{{Jubilee|MarvelComics}} when they are getting frusterated with her behavior.

A type of verbal RunningGag that's not quite a CatchPhrase and not quite a {{Stock Phrase|s}}. A PluckyComicRelief character of the more annoying CharactersAsDevice variety (i.e., TheTrickster, DevilInPlainSight, or TagalongKid) is ''so'' annoying that one or more other characters can only express their exasperation by saying their name. They use the ''exact same'' tone and inflection every time, maybe even accompanied by the same music/sound effect. The tone is so individual and memorable that some cases, if old enough, can even be parodied in future shows.

%% commented out as Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * ''LightNovel/ScrappedPrincess'': "EIROTE!" (Even when she's standing right next to her)
%% commented out as Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'': IIIIIIZAAAAAYAAAAAAAAA!!!

The effect of this trope is amplified significantly if the character addressed is usually known by a [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nickname]], [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep title]] or other moniker that isn't their real name. [[YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious Once their real first name hits the air in that administrative tone]], everyone--in-universe and out--can immediately tell things just got ''serious''.

* Famously inverted by Sheldon at the end of the ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' episode ''The Wil Wheaton Recurrence'' as a shout-out to ''Film/StarTrekTheWrathOfKhan''.

** Wilma sometimes did a more subtle version of this when Fred did something (or was somehow being) annoying. She would even give him a ''full'' name ultimatum when she got especially mad.

FullNameUltimatum (if it becomes a RunningGag) and LoudLastName could also be examples of this. Compare SayMyName.

* David Seville of ''Franchise/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'': "AL-VIN!"

* ''Series/StargateSG1'': "Jack..." "Daniel...". To the point that even when they're [[BodySwap completely unrecognizable,]] that exchange is usually enough to make them realize who they're talking to.
