* ''Webcomic/{{Outsider}}'': Alex Jardin is usually referred to by the [[SpaceElves Loroi]] as either "Captain"[[note]]an [[FieldPromotion honorary rank]] bestowed on him by a Loroi diplomat since, [[SoleSurvivor due to circumstances]], he's both humanity's ambassador to the Loroi and military attache for his mission[[/note]] or "Enzin"[[note]]a [[CommonTongue Loroi Trade Language]] word meaning "guardian" (due to how his name translates in the Trade Language)[[/note]]. Late in chapter 2, he tells the systems analyst Beryl, who has been the Loroi most interested in learning about him and humanity in general and who the story has given a fair amount of ShipTease with Jardin, that she can call him Alex.

* In ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'', after their first night of hunting monsters together and a talk the next day, Heartful Punch gives Undine permission to use her real name, Kokoro.

Even members of HP's training club don't call her Kokoro, describing it as the "Forbidden Name", treating it like a BerserkButton, and being surprised she's okay with Undine's use of it.
