* In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' set ''Fanfic/ThePriceOfFlight'', which revolves around a sort of steampunk Air Force, the pilots get call-signs. These are not always the one preferred by the pilot. For instance, the Foggy Islander wants to be "Kakapo". But as this is un-known outside the Foggy Islands, her fellow pilots substitute "Parrot" for convenience.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'': Odin ''always'' refers to Atreus as [[spoiler: Loki]]. In this case, it's a sign of just how little Odin cares for others as ''people''; the Jotnar prophecies call Atreus '[[spoiler:Loki]]' (which was Faye's choice for his name, but she ultimately deferred to Kratos's choice of 'Atreus' after an old comrade of his), and so Odin does too, because he ultimately sees Atreus as the figure from the prophecies and not an actual ''person''. [[spoiler: This is also one of the thing that gives away to Brok that 'Tyr' is Odin in disguise, because Tyr would've referred to Atreus by his rea name.]]

I don’t think it actually counts since Mal never complains about it

* On ''{{Series/Firefly}}'', Zoe insists on calling Mal "Sir", even though they aren't in the army anymore. Back then, he was her commanding officer. He's just the ship's captain now, although that may be partly why she still uses the term since she's first mate.

* ''Series/HappyDays'': Mrs. Cunningham is the only one who gets away with calling Fonzie "Arthur."
* There used to be a TV show called ''Live with Regis and Kathie Lee'' hosted by Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford. Creator/DavidLetterman called the show ''Live with Regis Lee and Kathie Lee'' and called Regis "Regis Lee." Even after Kathie Lee (and eventually Regis) left the show, he continues to refer to Regis as Regis Lee and all ''Live with...'' hosts as "Blank Lee;" as of this writing, it's Kelly Lee Ripa and Michael Lee Strahan.
* In (at least) one episode of ''Series/DealOrNoDeal'' where the briefcases were held by special guest hunky male NYFD firefighters, host Howie Mandel continued to call them by the models' names because it was easier than learning 25 new names just for the one show.
* The ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' episode "Best Man For the Gob" featured the one-shot character Ira Gilligan, the Bluth Company's accountant. The Bluths repeatedly refer to him as Gilligan, despite his annoyed insistence that he be addressed as Ira.
* The team leader on ''Series/CriminalMinds'' makes an effort to introduce Reid as "''Doctor'' Spencer Reid" because they know that his youth will lead people to dismiss him, probably assuming he's an intern or assistant, if they don't establish his status as a full member of the team right off the bat.
