* The head of the agency featured in ''Film/Furious7'' is known only as Mr. Nobody in the film. [[note]] He has a canonical name, but it's not used in the film. [[/note]] This only adds to the mystery surrounding him. The follow-up, ''Film/TheFateOfTheFurious'', introduces a new member of the agency he refers to as Mr. Little Nobody. This adds to his mystery, but he doesn't like it. [[note]] He also has a canonical name, but it's not used in the film either.[[/note]]

** The Nobodies, most of which are FacelessMooks whose name means they have no heart (in contrast to the Heartless, who are the darkness of the heart with no body). But when a person with a strong heart becomes a Heartless, they may leave behind a strong Nobody as well. These form Organization XIII, and face the existential crisis of not knowing if they are real people or not, because they have no feelings. Their personal names usually involve XtremeKoolLetterz, but they still identify as Nobodies, and seek Kingdom Hearts to become real.

* ''Fanfic/{{Enlightenments}}'' interprets "Wander" this way. It isn't a name so much as what the locals call a nameless person, and what the nameless man in question gives as a nickname in a sequel short to the fic when someone protests that they can't just call him "hey you" all the time.
