* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'':
** Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, and Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed. She is also Deanna Troi's mother, a chief ambassador for Betazed, and a great thorn in Captain Picard's side. In one episode, Deanna exasperatedly points out that at least some of those titles are obsolete, and "The Sacred Chalice of Rixx is an old clay pot with mold growing in it." The first series of her titles eventually became a BadassCreed in an ExpandedUniverse novel when Lwaxana ''[[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu beat the snot out of Q.]]'' Punctuating each title with a kick or a smack, no less.
** ''TNG'' also had an alien who claimed to be a plethora of devils of various worlds, including Fek'lhr ('Fek-lar' to those who need vowels to pronounce words), the being who prevents warriors from escaping Klingon hell -- Worf comments "You are ''not'' Fek'lhr." The alien, a woman, then proceeds to turn into a [[{{Satan}} big red man]] and then Fek'lhr.
* ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series}}'' had Flint, whose aliases from Earth history included Methuselah, Solomon, Alexander the Great, Lazarus, Merlin, and Leonardo da Vinci, just to name a few.
** ''Series/{{Star Trek|The Original Series}}'' also had the episode "Wolf in the Fold", which included an entity whose names included Beratis, Kesla, Redjac, and [[spoiler:Jack the Ripper]].

* ''VisualNovel/NoCaseShouldRemainUnsolved'': The Adjudicator is also referred to as Seowon's Ghost, Janus, and Jigsaw Puzzle Master, though notably, it's the protagonist who gives her these names, not Adjudicator herself. [[spoiler:She is actually the real Jeon Gyeong.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheHospitalToys'' toys with this in "Alice and Lucy"; each of the children at the hospital have a different name for the Ragdoll when they play with her, which includes Alice, Lucy, and Natalie. The Ragdoll is confused at all the names, and begins to forget who she really is. The China Doll sets her straight and tells her that no matter what the children call her, she will always be Ragdoll at the end of the day.

* Because of trademark/licensing issues, a wrestler who moves to a different company may also have to change/add/modify names, either because the company claims it or because the company wants to give them a new name it can claim later. WWE's Wrestling/{{Christian}} went back to his former indy name of Christian Cage in [[Wrestling/ImpactWrestling TNA]], while Wrestling/{{AAA}}'s Extreme Tiger became Tigre Uno in TNA. "The Million Dollar Man" Wrestling/TedDiBiase was known for a while in Wrestling/{{WCW}} as "Trillionaire Ted".

* A California GospelMusic vocal group called The Santa Monica Soul Seekers signed with Modern Records in 1955 as a DooWop group. The label named them The Cadets and released a debut single. Then the label decided another song they recorded could be a hit, but didn't want to release it so soon after the first single, so Modern released on a subsidiary label, RPM Records, and credited it to The Jacks. After that, the group saw their music split between the two band names and labels, with their Modern sides credited to The Cadets and their RPM sides credited to The Jacks, and it was done almost at random: they would record a song without knowing if it was for a Cadets or Jacks release. To make it all wackier, there was no attempt to pretend that they were different groups: both The Cadets and The Jacks released albums with their FaceOnTheCover, so astute record buyers could easily compare and see it was the same four guys. Also, while they toured as The Cadets, they had songs by The Jacks in their set lists.
