* A possibly inadvertent one in the ''Literature/SherlockHolmes'' story "The Problem of Thor Bridge" which has a CrypticBackgroundReference to "Isadora Persano, the well known journalist and duellist, who was found stark staring mad with a matchbox in front of him which contained a remarkable worm, said to be unknown to science". Creator/KimNewman, who features a version of Persano as a background character in the ''Literature/DiogenesClub'' series, claims that they went by the name "Isadore Persano" as a journalist and duelist, and only used "Isadora" when attending Dorian Gray's parties dressed as a gypsy dancer.

* ''Franchise/AceAttorney'':
** Adrian Andrews from the second and third games, which is important because [[spoiler:her name sounds masculine (and her last name literally is). This helps derail Shelly de Killer's argument that Adrian is his client, since he states that he physically met Adrian to make the deal, but refers to her as male because he hasn't actually met her.]]
** [[spoiler:Robin Newman]] from ''Dual Destinies'' plays with this, having a name that is masculine on one side of the Atlantic and feminine on the other. [[spoiler:And is actually female.]]
** ''The Great Ace Attorney'' has Ashley Graydon, who is male, although this example is less plot-relevant than the others. Considering the game takes place in Victorian Era England, Ashley would be considered a commonly masculine name for the time and location, and only seems odd to a modern audience.

** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyJusticeForAll'': This is a plot point, as Shelly de Killer tries to frame Adrian Andrews for hiring him, but proves he never met her by referring to her with male pronouns, with this also applying to her in the original Japanese version.
** ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'': [[spoiler:Robin Newman]] [[PlayingWithATrope plays with this]], as their name is masculine on one side of the Atlantic and feminine on the other, [[spoiler:with her being revealed to actually be female who presented as a male.]]
** ''VisualNovel/TheGreatAceAttorney'': A ZigZaggingTrope with Ashley Graydon, who is male, which is historically accurate as the game takes place in Victorian Era England, when the name Ashley would be considered a commonly masculine name for the time and location, which only seems odd to a modern audience.
