* Creator/AnthonyBoucher's short-story "The Compleat Werewolf" has a wizard lampshade the hell out of this, pointing out that the titular character is named "Wolfe Wolf".
* Mocked in ''Literature/CurseOfTheWolfgirl'' by Kalix. Kalix, a real werewolf from family of werewolves who have no wolf-y sounding names finds a comic about a werewolf called "Arabella Wolf" and finds it incredibly unlikely and insulting that a girl is called "wolf" long before she becomes a werewolf.
* Largely averted in the ''Literature/DanShambleZombiePI'' series, as its werewolves and various other Unnaturals were (usually) ordinary humans before the Big Uneasy, and retain their everyday human names. Played straight with nicknames, like the biker Monthlies Scratch and Sniff.
* Parodied in ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': Big Fido the poodle spends his time extolling the virtues of wild wolves, claiming they have names like Quickfang. The actual werewolf knows this is BS, as wolves don't think of themselves that way. Indeed, in ''Literature/TheFifthElephant'' we learn they have names like Arsehole. The evil werewolf ''is'' named Wolfgang, though. There's also the reverse-werewolf in ''Literature/ReaperMan'', who is literally named Lupine.
