* ''Fanfic/OniGaShikuSeries'': Izuku never calls anyone by their real names, with the exceptions of Kiryu who he calls "Kiryu-san", his uncle Majima who he calls "Gorojiji" (with jiji meaning uncle), and his best friend Mei. For literally everyone else, he either uses diminutives (like calling Ochako "Occhan" or Iida Ii-chan), or a nickname that doesn't reference their real name at all (like calling Momo Yaoyorozu "Mochi" because she's sweet or giving vulgar nicknames to the GoldfishPoopGang).

* ''WesternAnimation/CaptainFlamingo'': "Name Dropper" is about Nick Names, a kid who makes up nicknames that stick for life. He keeps calling Tabitha bad insulting nicknames which makes her furious (these include "Crabitha", "Slobitha", "Backstabitha" and "Snot Kebobitha"). It was later revealed that Winona (Lizbeth's sister) mentions that one of her trophies she got when she was little was marked second place to Nick who's nicknamed [[spoiler:"Little Toot" because when he used to play the recorder, he toot out both ends]]. After Lizbeth tells Nick about that nickname, he decided to not do it again. The last nickname he gave to Tabitha before stopping was a more nicer nickname, [[spoiler:"Miss Perfect"]], which bums out Nick's gang and leaves.
