* ''Fanfic/TwoLetters'': One sign of how much Marinette has changed [[TheResenter due to her resentment]] is that she refers to several of Hawkmoth's past victims using the names of their akumatized forms. Juleka realized how much Marinette disliked her after overhearing her muttering "Time to see what Reflekta wants now," and worries that means she did something ''horrible'' to her [[LaserGuidedAmnesia that she can't recall]], [[LockedOutOfTheLoop unaware that]] Marinette ''used to be'' Ladybug [[TakeThisJobAndShoveIt before she retired]].

** When they meet, the Wolf thinks Ramsay still goes by Snow, not knowing Ramsay was legitimized as a Bolton by his father. After that he keeps calling him Snow to piss him off (or other names like Snolton or Snotling).
** Something of a standard tactic is to use insulting names for his victims, like referring to the Mountain as "Molehill".

** When introducing the [[CuteMute seemingly mute Nezumi]], he misidentifies his mask as being a hamster rather than a mouse, on top of making several other needlessly cruel remarks. He flips back and forth between addressing him as his actual code name and continuing to call him 'Hamster'.

** Kakashi also applies this to [[spoiler:Naruto]], preferring to think of them as [[spoiler:the Kyuubi]] as a spiteful way of distancing himself from [[spoiler:the fact that Naruto is also his late mentor's son]].

[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
* In the now-deleted ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingChanAndTheChanClan''[=/=]''WesternAnimation/WinxClub'' crossover ''Bluecoat Family'', Stanley would constantly call Lord Darkar "Dorkar" to piss him off. It worked like a charm.
* When ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'' [[{{Crossover}} crosses over]] with ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'', Calvin calls Alfred "Horus". Whether it was intentional or not is unknown.
* ''Fanfic/{{Development}}'': Beetlejuice routinely gets Wednesday's name wrong just to rile her up (a fact Wednesday picked up on), usually a different day of the week.
* The Doctor in ''Fanfic/DoctorWhoovesTheSeries'' seems to have moved from his regeneration trauma induced tendency for AccidentalMisnaming into deliberately doing this to take Twilight and Scootaloo's minds off danger.
* ''Fanfic/AnImpracticalGuideToGodhood'': Like Dionysius, Perseus enjoys calling people by the right initials but the wrong name as a way of showing either disdain or vitriolic affection. He even greets Dionysus as "Douglas" after being called "Peter Johnson."
-->'''Purseus''': Name?\\
'''Drew:''' I am Drew Tanaka, [[TemptingFate and I am not going to participate in your stupid quest.]]\\
'''Perseus''': [[GotVolunteered Thank you for volunteering, Debbie.]]\\
'''Drew''': [[SuddenlyShouting I am not Debbie!]]\\
'''Perseus''': Thank you for volunteering, Dorothy.
* ''Fanfic/RWBYEpicOfRemnant'': In a flashback, Gudako mocked Ritsuka by calling him "Ritsuckass".
* In ''WebAnimation/TurnaboutStorm'', [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Trixie]] gets a habit for doing this. Amongst her repertoire she has Twilight Screw-Up and [[DeadpanSnarker Twilight Snarkle]] for Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Trash for Rainbow Dash and [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney Phoenix Wrong for Phoenix Wright]]. Gilda also gets a shot with Lamebow Dash.
* In ''Fanfic/VoyagesOfTheWildSeaHorse'', the Nerimans don't initially understand the importance of having a Jolly Roger and crew name. Viewing their refusal to fly their colors as a sign of cowardice, the Marines list them as the "Dirty Coward Pirates". Nobody on the crew is happy about this.

[[AC:''Franchise/DanganRonpa'']]
* In ''Fanfic/WhereTalentGoesOnVacation'', after the second trial, when Monokuma executes [[spoiler:Taiga Tachibana]] instead of the true culprit, [[spoiler:her twin sister Tatsuki]], he calls the living person by the dead one's name.

[[AC:''Franchise/FireEmblem'']]
* In ''Fanfic/TheGhostOfOchs'', Monica's ArchEnemy Kronya refers to her as "Moronica" when [[PitifulWorms bug-themed insults]] aren't good enough.

[[AC:''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'']]
* Due to recurring failures in his inventions and the messes they made, Hiccup in ''[[Fanfic/BoundHowToTrainYourDragon Bound]]'' has been given the demeaning title of "Hiccup the Useless." This stings especially since the village took the time to give him this title despite such things usually being saved till adulthood.

[[AC:''ComicBook/JosieAndThePussycats'']]
* In ''Webcomic/OfDumbDumbsAndPussycats'', Alexandra says "Good morning, Alvin, or whatever your name is" to Alan to show that she's still angry at him.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MarthaSpeaks'']]
* In CrackFic ''Martha Reeks'', Mariella calls Helen "Hellspawn".

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'']]
* Chat Noir constantly refers to his partner-in-name-only ''Webcomic/ScarletLady'' as 'Scar', referring to the pain and suffering she's caused him by being [[EvilHero such a poor excuse for a super-heroine]].

[[AC:''Franchise/MyHeroAcademia'']]
* Bakugou, the protagonist of ''[[Fanfic/NemesisMHA Nemesis]]'', continuously refers to Izuku as 'Deku' throughout, in spite of him having become the dangerous villain Mischief.

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Persona}}'']]
* ''Fanfic/PersonaTheSougawaFiles'': One of the main villains, [[VillainWithGoodPublicity Yuudai]] [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Honda]], constantly calls the Freedom Fighters different names via replacing the first word. So far, he's referred to them as the Fire Fighters, the Beetle Fighters, and the Failure Fighters.

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'']]
* Send Your {{Original Character}}s fanfic ''Pokemon Take Two'' gives us [[{{Troll}} Ry]], who doesn't just [[BerserkButton call his sister, Raion, Ryhorn]], but also calls Akari and Rein A-ri and Rei [[ForTheEvulz just to piss her off]].

[[AC:''VideoGame/PunchOut'']]
* In ''Fanfic/LetMeWarmYourHeart'', [[{{Jerkass}} Super Macho Man]] calls Narcis Prince "Nimrod Prince".

[[AC:RealPersonFic]]
* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/14997911/chapters/34760702 The Horsewomen Of Las Vegas]]'', Wrestling/BeckyLynch is fond of addressing Wrestling/CharlotteFlair as "Charlie" or "Char-Char", as she loves annoying her.

[[AC:''Franchise/TheSmurfs'']]
* Duncan [=McSmurf=] in ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf'' is an obvious AdaptationNameChange version of Gutsy from ''Film/TheSmurfs'' film series who does not like to be called Gutsy, particularly from Hefty who just simply doesn't like Duncan.
** According to the author, this is used as a TakeThat toward the character Gutsy being used in ''Film/TheSmurfs'' movie to steal the spotlight from Hefty.
** Most of the time with Hefty, it's more of an InsultOfEndearment, as he rarely calls Duncan by his true name.
** In "A Wild Winter Solstice", though, Papa Smurf [[AccidentalMisnaming accidentally calls Duncan Gutsy]] before realizing his mistake.

[[AC:''Franchise/StarWars'']]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13545968/1/Wilhuff-Tarkin-Hero-of-the-Rebellion Wilhuff Tarkin, Hero of the Rebellion]]'' Grievous would routinely misgender his predecessor Sev'rance Tann to show that [[PretenderDiss he doesn't consider her a real soldier]] for her obsession with superweapons and not doing her job properly.

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends'']]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13620958/1/O-Mother-Where-Art-Thou O Mother, Where Art Thou?]]'', Diesel 10 constantly gets Emily's name wrong, calling her things like "Esmeralda" or "Ermintrude". The Grumpy Passenger does the same thing in ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13887970/1/The-Brother-s-Grimm The Brother's Grimm]]''.

[[AC:''Franchise/TouhouProject'']]
* Many fancomics have Mokou deliberately call Kaguya "Teruyo" (an AlternateCharacterReading of her first name) to annoy her. After all, when you're both immortal you need some way of dealing damage to your opponent's psyche.
* Yoroi Chikara in ''Fanfic/FreakinGensokyo'' is referred to as Yo-yo [[{{Franchise/Pokemon}} Chikorita]] and Yaoi Chalk at one point.
