* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'', the protagonist - default Tidus - [[HelloInsertNameHere can be named at the start of the game]], as is tradition in the series. However, FFX was the first game to feature voice acting, and as the protagonist could potentially be named anything, the characters in the game would only ever call him by pronouns. This is made worse in that not even Yuna, the love interest, ever utters his name - or even asks for it! The trope is carried over to the sequel where, even then, Tidus will only be referred to as 'You' or 'Him'. ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXII'' fixed this by giving the cast set names.

** ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam00'': Despite Setsuna being Graham Aker's rival for most of the series, and Aker developing an obsession with defeating him that he himself describes as "transcending love", Aker never seems to learn Setsuna's name. He only ever refers to Setsuna as "young man" ("shounen"), even in the movie where the two are on more friendly terms.

*** A much more antagonistic example is [[TheFagin Ali Al-Saachez]], coincidentally an {{Expy}} for the aforementioned Gauron. Ali almost never refers to anyone by name, calling Setsuna "Krugis Punk", Nena "Little Girl", and Ribbons "Boss".

* Cale in ''Literature/TrashOfTheCountsFamily'' is on the recieving end, courtesy of [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Raon]]. Raon refers to him simply as "human" at first because he was wary of Cale and didn't plan on sticking around him long enough to need to know his name. Even after deiciding to follow him and starting to use other people's names, Raon continues to call him "human" and refers to Cale as "the human" when talking about him with other people. It comes off a bit like an InsultOfEndearment.

* On ''WesternAnimation/MenInBlack,'' Kay always calls Jay "Slick" or some other mildly disrespectful nickname, as a sign that he doesn't think Jay's skills are quite as good as he [Jay] thinks. In one episode, when Jay manages to untangle an alien conspiracy/plot by himself, Kay actually does refer to him as "Jay." By the end of the episode, however, he reverts to using "Slick," out of disrespect for Jay's golf swing.
