* Practiced by prominent members of the French Army during the ancient regime and still widely practiced by [[LegionOfLostSouls Foreign Legionaries]]. In World War Two, prominent leaders of the Free French (and about every member of LaResistance) adopted Noms De Guerre to protect their families from retribution from the Nazis and LesCollaborateurs. One example is Darius Paul Bloch, who used Dassault as his alias. (Short for "Char d'Assault", French for "Battle Tank".) He legally changed his name to Dassault after the war. His brother took the name as well and used it for his aviation company (today a significant manufacturer of military aircraft--they make the Rafale fighter flown by the [[UsefulNotes/GaulsWithGrenades French Air Force]] and a few othters--as well as business jets).

This is more of a series-wide example than one pertaining specifically to the first Matrix movie


* {{Subverted}} in ''Film/TheMatrix''. All of the Zionist rebels have such callsigns (Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, Lock, Switch, Tank, etc.), presumably based on their online handles before they were freed, in the case of people not born in Zion. It's a subversion because it's clear that they consider these their real names because they are the only names they have ever used in the real world. Good thing for them nobody's online handle was pimpdaddy93 or omgpwnz0rz...
** Native Zionists, for their part, have real names that ''sound'' like they would be online handles, even though they have ''never'' been in the Matrix, due to lacking the [[BodyHorror modifications needed]] to interface with it.
