** In the Amagai filler arc, Amagai calls Izuru by his first name when he comes into the office, startling him and causing him to have a flashback of his old captain. He then says he was doing this to become closer to his squad, and then starts referring to Izuru by his last name from that point forth. Most other captains, with some exceptions, call their lieutenants by their first names.

** Rangiku Matsumoto is often referred to as by her first name by several characters, with most of them adding the -san suffix. Due to her affable personality, it makes sense. Gin being the one to call her without any suffix shows how close they used to be. Her captain, Hitsugaya, on the other hand, always calls her Matsumoto.

** FillerVillain Kageroza Inaba is referred to as Kageroza by everyone but Akon, which is odd, considering that the Gotei 13 don't address their enemies that way.

* ''Manga/MariaNoDanzai'': Strangely enough, [[BigBad Okaya]] lists his own mother by her full name in his phone's contact list, though he still addresses her as "mother" in his messages.

* In ''Good day to you, how about a game?'' Sae is shocked to learn from her schoolmate Nonoha that at the school they go to, it is expected that students call each other by their first names and "-san," using "-sama" for senior students. Having been absent for the first few days of the year due to illness, Sae had assumed that LastNameBasis was the norm, and had called Chise "Kannami-san" for the past several chapters without Chise correcting her. Sae immediately switches to using Nonoha's first name, and Chise is torn between asking Sae to call her by her first name, too, or sticking with last names because it's "more unique."



* In ''How I Lose Bets With My Sadistic Gifted Childhood Friend and She Steals All of My Firsts'', Wakaba Yoshizawa refers to her long-time friend Komaki Umezono by her first name in her thoughts, but directly calls her "Umezono" due to a past incident. After Wakaba calls Komaki by her name when they're on a date due to Wakaba losing a bet, Wakaba calls Komaki by her name, but claims it's because it feels more natural to use that on a date.



** Kaori immediately starts calling Shizuka by her first name. When questioned about it by Shizuka, she remarks that if she didn't, she'd be calling everyone in the house "Hoshikawa-san."

** Kaori immediately starts calling Shizuka by her first name. When questioned about it by Shizuka, Shizuku, she remarks that if she didn't, she'd be calling everyone in the house "Hoshikawa-san."
** Shizuku called Ruri "Ruri-chan" in elementary school, since she considered her a friend, even if she ended up bullying her in a misguided attempt to help her. When the two meet again midway through the story, Shizuku switches to the more formal "Ichinose-san" when trying to apologize to her. After Ruri expresses her desire to start over with Shizuku in an attempt to move on from her trauma, Shizuku switches back to "Ruri-chan.

* ''Anime/YuGiOh'': Very few characters call [[Characters/YuGiOhSetoKaiba Seto Kaiba]] "Seto", even less so in the [=4Kids=] version. In the [=4Kids=] version, only Mokuba, Noah and Gozaburo call him by his given name. In the Japanese version, Mokuba does ''not'' (he calls him "Nii-sama" instead), and aside from Noah and Gozaburo, the other characters who call him "Seto" are Ishizu, the Big Five and the employees of Kaiba Corp.

** Ditto Aizawa and Present Mic though they use last names sometimes too. Like Mirio and Tamaki, they have been close since high school and Hizashi gave Aizawa his hero name of Eraserhead.
