* The ''DoctorWho'' episode "The Eleventh Hour" features a [[spoiler:Prisoner Zero. It is ''not'' an example of MyHeroZero]].

* The main characters of {{We3}}. Their real names are Bandit (the dog), Tinker (the cat), and Pirate (the rabbit).

* {{Cyborg 009}}.

** You mean little SixSix?

* Subverted by the black mages of ''FinalFantasyIX''. Except for Vivi, they are all known by their numbers (Mr. 234, Black Mage No. 12, etc.), but this actually serves to humanize them as they begin developing their own personalities. They deliberately seem to adopt the numbers as their names, even going so far as to introduce themselves this way to strangers.

* Nepali often like to use numerical names too, I believe.

* Subject Five of ''UnlikelyEden'' named because she was the fifth subject of a preliminary eugenics project.

** Android 8 (Hatchi) in the original Dragonball. After revealing himself to really be a GentleGiant, Goku gives him the nickname Hat-chan.

* Androids 13-20 in ''DragonballZ'', the first 3 only appearing in one of the non-canon movies.
** Don't forget about Android 8 (Hatchi) in the original Dragonball. After revealing himself to really be a GentleGiant, Goku gives him the nickname Hat-chan.

* ''{{Pokemon}}'' has a [[StealthPun]] example: the three legendary birds are called Artic'''uno''', Zap'''dos''' and Mol'''tres'''. Apart from that, Mewtwo (as an experimental clone of Mew) fits the trope very well, and Dugtrio (a creature that comes into being when three Digletts combine) is a mild example. The latter is lampshaded in ''PokemonMysteryDungeon''.

* 711, a short-lived GoldenAge character who first appeared in ''Police Comics #1'' (the same book in which [[RubberMan Plastic Man]] debuted). He was unjustly imprisoned and "711" was his prisoner number. He tunneled his way out of prison so he could fight crime every night and return to his cell every morning, no one the wiser.

* In the ''FullmetalAlchemist'' manga, the two guardians of the Philosopher's Stone are Nos. 66 and 48.
** Possibly subverted-they were real people, originally, they were just stripped of their names when they were turned into living armor, seeing as they were criminals who were, according to paperwork, sentenced to death. As a matter of fact, 66 reveals during his fight with Al that he'd appeared previously in the series-the last time we saw him, he was serial murderer "Barry the Chopper."
** In the manga/second anime, Lust always calls Barry No. 66 and it is in part this shabby treatment that prompts his ([[TokenEvilTeammate not really]]) HeelFaceTurn. In contrast, the heroes all call him Barry.

** Also, the manga has a character whose name was initially just 23.

* In ''DarkerThanBlack'', all Contractors have a "Messier number" assigned to them. The protagonist, Hei, is BK-201, and is always refered to this way by the police who are hunting him. There's also a character always called November 11, which at least in the dub is suggested to be equivalent to JamesBond being called nothing but 007.
** November 11 is actually usually called by his apparent first name "Simon" by Kirihara, and occasionally by his MI6 cohorts July and April.

** The School tends to give their students numerical codenames, which start with a metal name, followed b a number. The member of the School staff who was not a CompleteMonster gave them regular names later. This troper forgot exactly, but he remembered Ouka Nagisa being called Aurum 1. Same thing applies to Arado Balanga (Bronzo 27), Seolla Schweitzer (Bronzo 28) and Latooni (Latooni 11, because Cuervo never thought up a name for her) Subota.

*Roku from ''Pop'n Music''. The troper literally defines his name - ''roku'' is japanese word for 6. Also, his name written in game is ''六'', which is the kanji that stands for number six.

* One of Ayn Rand's somewhat lesser known books ''Anthem'' had a collectivist {{dystopia}} in which everyone had names like Solidarity-0665 or Union-0934.

* Tetsuo in {{AKIRA}} is referred to as "Number 41" by the colonel and other scientists testing him.
