*** [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in a FlashbackEpisode when Ned introduces himself to Homer the day the latter moves into the neighbourhood, and having immediately rubbed him the wrong way by being himself, says
--> '''Flanders:''' Hi-doodily-do new neighbour-ino. My name's Flanders, but my friends call me Ned!

* Ulrich, Jeremie and Odd of ''CodeLyoko'' are this way in ''[[{{Prequel}} X.A.N.A. Awakens]]''. It's implied Ulrich and Jeremie are this way due to their different social classes at Kadic though no explanation is given for Odd falling victim to it.

* In ''{{Archer}}'', despite the fact that the head of ISIS is Malory Archer, nearly everyone except Malory addresses her son Sterling as simply "Archer."

* (Buck) Tuddrussel from ''WesternAnimation/TimeSquad''.

* (Buck) Tuddrussel from TimeSquad.

*** Except Roman names don't work like that. ''Julius'' is Caesar's family name, and Caesar roughly corresponds to a nickname. It seems more likely he has a European style name, in which there is no "middle name" but rather a series of given names, one of which is the basis of the personal name.

* [[Ben10Omniverse Rook Blonko]] is this way, but that's because his name is introduced with the surname first. Seeing as he is sent to Bellwood in America, and his race don't seem to leave their planet often, it could quite possible have been a mistake Ben and everyone's part, thinking they were calling him by his first name.

* (Glen) Quagmire in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''.
** Lois calls him Glen and a number of other people as well, including his sister. It's mostly his drinking buddies who call him Quagmire.

*** In one of the movies, the mailbox outside of Leela's parents house reads "Turanga".

* [[TheRenandStimpyShow Commander Hoek]], although he doesn't mind simply being addressed "Ren".

* Most of the Safety Patrol on ''{{Fillmore}}'' refer to each other by last names, despite being middle schoolers. (Though if your first name was Cornelius, wouldn't you want to go by Fillmore?) Ingrid is usually called by her first name, but not always.

* Spinelli from ''{{Recess}}'', who keeps her first name (Ashley) a secret to differentiate herself from "[[TheHeathers The Ashleys]]," a posse of {{Alpha Bitch}}es that she hates.

* ''KimPossible'' has [[DarkActionGirl Shego]], who inverts this. [[{{Fanon}} It is suggested that her last name is "Go"]], but she has "She" in front because she [[FaceHeelTurn used to be good]] and part of a team with her brothers, and she was the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple the only girl]]. It's also possible their names relate to their first names, but they're never given. {{Lampshaded}} by Ron in ''Go Team Go''.

* Oddly enough, there were a few moments in ''{{Rugrats}}'' where Angelica would address Tommy as "Pickles," despite the fact that they are cousins and share the same last name.

* In ''TheMrMenShow'', various characters (usually Mr. Grumpy) sometimes refer to a Mr. Man or Little Miss without saying "Mr." or "Miss."

* [[{{Cars}} Mater's]] first name is actually "Tow."

* In ''TheMrMenShow'', various characters (usually Mr. Grumpy) sometimes refer to a Mr. Man or Little Miss without saying "Mr." or "Miss."

* None of the kids (besides Butters) in ''SouthPark'' call (Eric) Cartman by his first name. Only the adults call him that.

* "Once-ler" is implied to be a surname in ''Literature/TheLorax'' 70s special.

** Her employer Dr. Drakken is usually addressed or referred to simply as Drakken. The same applies for one of the other villains, (Duff) Killigan, and for Kim's teacher (Steve) Barkin.

* The commander of ''TitanMaximum'' is called Palmer. Even his grandparents call him that, while his far-less-cool little brother is just Willie.

*** Flanders also addressed Homer as "Simpson" early on. [[{{Flanderization}} As he transformed from a perfect neighbor into an ultra-pious nice guy]], he started calling Homer by first name (and any number of vari-diddly-ations thereof).

** T.J.'s main rival Lawson, as well as some minor characters (Skeens, Gelman, Mundy, etc.).

* ([[spoiler: Enzo]]) Matrix from ''{{ReBoot}}''.

* James P. "Sulley" Sullivan from ''MonstersInc''.

* "Once-ler" is implied to be a surname in ''Literature/TheLorax'' 70s special.

** Kyle calls him "Eric" in the pilot episode. ("Come on, Eric, we're gonna go play at the bus stop!")

* "Once-ler" is implied to be a surname in ''TheLorax'' 70s special.
