* A few ''Literature/ShiversMDSpenser'' books uses this trope, despite the characters having their full names in the blurb. For instance, the protagonist "Your Momma's a Werewolf" is named Ignatius, but everyone - including his ''mother'' - calls him "Iggy". His bestie on the other hand had an extremely generic name, John, and goes by the name "Mole" because of his near-sightedness.
