* The G-Man from ''VideoGame/HalfLife1''. In fact, "gman" was just the name of his character model. Nobody in the game calls him anything, except for Eli Vance, who refers to him as "our mutual friend." In the manual for the ''Opposing Force'' expansion, however, Shepard writes about a G-Man watching him during his training and, indeed he can be seen during the tutorial mission. And he is listed as "[=GMan=]" (no hyphen) in the credits for ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'' and its Episodes.

* The various friendly NPCs in ''Videogame/{{Terraria}} are typically named after their professions - the Guide, the Wizard, the Nurse, and so on. They have unique names, which are randomly assigned when they spawn in, but since NPCs can get killed and will respawn with new names, it's somewhat pointless to keep track of. The Guide is always the Guide, whether he's named Jack, Joe or Steve.
