7'''Sylvia:''' Trench. Sylvia Trench. I admire your luck, Mister...\
8'''Bond:''' Bond. James Bond.
9-->-- ''Film/DrNo''

11Many a character these days will introduce themselves ''Film/JamesBond''-style (surname, given name-surname); e.g.,
12
13''"Lockhart, Sally Lockhart."''
14
15Most often set up by another character asking something like, "I didn't catch your name, Mr./Ms...."
16
17For extra humor, characters with limited language skills or from another culture (or who just want to be a pedantic pain-in-the-backside for whatever reason) may subsequently [[ComicallyMissingThePoint address our Ms. Lockhart as "Lockhart Sally Lockhart"]].
18
19An element of the TuxedoAndMartini style. A type of [[IndexOfCatchphrases catchphrase]].

26[[folder:Campaigns, Advertising Campaigns]]
27* There was a local commercial in Toronto about ten years ago for a garment store called "Tip Top Tailors". It featured a rather silly montage of a James Bond-type character saving a girl in a {{Thriller}} environment. At the end the man says, "Tailors. Tip Top Tailors".

31Note that in Japanese it's typical to introduce yourself with your family name, or your family name followed by your given name; so this trope doesn't have the same meaning as in English, and often takes the form "The name's Bond, Bond James."
32* In ''VisualNovel/{{Clannad}}'', Kyou does this when Tomoyo introduces Kotomi to her.
33* In the first episode of ''Literature/FullMetalPanic'', Sōsuke introduces himself to a hysterical runaway as "Sagara... Sōsuke Sagara," as he rescues her from the battlefield.
34* ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': "Joestar. Joseph Joestar."
35* The title character of ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAs'' introduces herself to Vita as "Nanoha. Takamachi Nanoha." when Vita asks for her name ([[AccidentalMisnaming Vita promptly declares it as too hard to remember]]). In the ''[[VideoGame/MagicalGirlLyricalNanohaAsPortable Battle of Aces]]'' video game, Nanoha introduces herself in this manner again when she comes across a [[{{Doppelganger}} Dark Piece that took the shape of a Vita who had yet to meet her]].
36* The TropeNamer himself does this verbatim when he's introduced in ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot''. And who can blame him?
37* ''RO-KYU-BU!'': TokenMiniMoe Hinata does this, when the basketball club introduces themselves to Subaru. Although "Hinata. Hakamada Hinata" is more of James, Bond James though.
38* In ''Anime/TheVisionOfEscaflowne'', Hitomi introduces herself to Allen with her first name first, then her name in Japanese order (so it comes out as "Hitomi, Kanzaki Hitomi" in Japanese). In the English dub, she introduces herself as "Hitomi, Hitomi Kanzaki". Allen does not make any mistakes with her name, despite the fact that Asturian name order follows the English pattern.
39[[/folder]]

41[[folder:Books, Comic Books]]
42* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'': Wayne, Bruce Wayne.
43* Parodied in one ''ComicBook/JudgeDredd'' story where [[TheOtherDarrin all of the actors]] who played [[Film/JamesBond John]] [[CaptainErsatz Blaze]] are lured to their deaths with the Creator/SeanConnery standin as the SoleSurvivor. When interviewed afterwards, he says of his next film project "The namesh Dredd. Judge Dredd."
44* The name's Dante. ComicBook/NikolaiDante.
45* ''ComicBook/{{Planetary}}'': Stone, John Stone. Agent of S.T.O.R.M.
46* ComicBook/YokoTsuno introduces herself like this in ''The Prey and the Ghost''. As the story takes place in Scotland, this may have been a ShoutOut, not only to ''Film/JamesBond'' but to Creator/SeanConnery as well.
47[[/folder]]
48
49[[folder:Works, Fan Works]]
50* Used in ''Fanfic/BaitAndSwitchSTO'' when the viewpoint character introduces herself to the audience as follows: "My name is Eleya. Kanril Eleya." {{Inverted|Trope}} in that, since she's Bajoran, Eleya is actually [[FantasticNamingConvention her given name, not her surname]].
51* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3570937/13/The-Better-Man The Better Man]]'' Harry actually introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond" as a reaction to Draco's "Malfoy, Draco Malfoy" introduction, which includes insults to Harry's school and cousin.
52* In ''Fanfic/TheGrinningSnake'', [[OriginalCharacter Konoka]] introduces herself to [[Anime/MyHime Shizuru]] this way. As shown below, the fic uses Western naming order and forgoes UsefulNotes/JapaneseHonorifics.
53-->'''Shizuru:''' Now, what would you like to discuss, Miss...\
54'''Konoka:''' Koukuto. Konoka Koukuto.\
55'''Shizuru:''' Miss Koukuto.
56* In ''Fanfic/UnexpectedEncounters'' Jack Savage introduces himself that way when he meets Haida and Ookami.
57[[/folder]]
58
59[[folder:Films, Animated Films]]
60* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanSoulOfTheDragon'' , when Richard Dragon escapes a Kobra hideout and ends up in a boat of bikini clad women, he introduces himself as "Dragon, Richard Dragon".
61* ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'': "[[SpeciesSurname Cricket's]] the name, Jiminy Cricket."
62* ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'': Nick Wilde introduces himslef to Judy this way.
63[[/folder]]
64
65[[folder:Films, Live-Action Films]]
66* ''Film/OneHundredAndTwoDalmatians'': Waddlesworth, a macaw who believes himself to be a dog, once toys with the ''Film/JamesBond'' theme and introduces himself as "Dog, James Dog".
67* ''Film/AgentCodyBanks'': "Banks. Cody Banks."
68* ''Film/BackToTheFuturePartIII'':
69** Marty's future great-great-grandmother Maggie [=McFly=] introduces herself as "[=McFly=], Maggie [=McFly=]". Then, to avoid arousing suspicion, Marty introduces himself to Maggie as "[[ImMrFuturePopCultureReference Eastwood]], Creator/ClintEastwood", also doing it to Buford Tannen.
70--->'''Buford:''' [[ItWillNeverCatchOn What kinda stupid name is that]]?
71** This is also how Clara Clayton introduces herself to Doc.
72* Being a parody of the ''James Bond'' movies, ''Film/CarryOnSpying'' has the expy of James Bond say a variation of this. He says to his teacher, "Bind," but is interrupted by his teacher, who asks, "James?" It turns out the teacher (and probably the audience) was wrong. "No, Charlie. Charlie Bind."
73* ''Film/{{Constantine|2005}}'': This is Constantine. John Constantine. %&*hole.
74* How Godfrey introduces himself to Mr. Mainwaring in ''[[Film/DadsArmy1971 Dad's Army]]'':
75-->'''Mr. Mainwaring:''' What's your name?\
76'''Godfrey:''' Er, "Godfrey". Charles Godfrey.
77* ''Film/DoctorInTrouble'':
78** When lying to the Master-at-Arms, Dr. Burke claims his name is "'O'Brien'. O. O'Brien".
79** Wendover introduces himself to Dawn in this manner:
80--->'''Wendover:''' I'm Wendover. Llewellyn Wendover, the pools winner.
81* ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' parodies the James Bond usage:
82-->'''Cameron:''' ''[on the phone with the principal]'' And you just mind your Ps and Qs, buster, and remember who you're dealing with.\
83'''Ferris:''' Bueller. [[HighSchoolHustler Ferris Bueller]].
84* ''Film/TheFinalSacrifice'': "Rowsdower. Zap Rowsdower."
85* ''Film/{{Fletch}}'': "Nugent. Ted Nugent."
86* ''Film/TheGoodTheBadAndTheUgly'': When the film introduces the audience to "The Bad", Angel Eyes, who's looking for Jackson, a customer tells him that he's going by the name Bill Carson.
87-->'''Customer:''' Carson, Bill Carson.
88* Virtually a given in any ''Film/JamesBond'' movie, [[TropeNamers obviously]] (most of the times).
89** "Trench, Sylvia Trench" from ''Film/DrNo'' is actually the first character to use this trope. It's in response to this introduction that Bond first utters the deathless line. In the reboot ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'', it's "Mathis -- Rene Mathis."
90** Averted in ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'', ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' (although technically said by another character) and ''Film/QuantumOfSolace''. ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' helpfully makes a return to it.
91** In ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'', Bond uses the line on Jill Masterson, then later on uses it on her sister Tilly, who impatiently cuts him off halfway through.
92** Turned into a RunningGag in ''Film/AViewToAKill'', as Bond uses a variety of fake names. Also played with in the Music/DuranDuran video for the film's theme; toward the end of the video, the band's lead singer identifies himself as "Bon. Simon [=LeBon=]."
93** Lampshaded in the teaser trailer for ''Film/TomorrowNeverDies'' by Bond himself:
94--->'''Bond:''' The name's Bond... you know the rest.
95** In ''Film/TheWorldIsNotEnough'', the character of Valentin Zukovsky (first introduced in ''Film/GoldenEye'') mocks 007 by addressing him as, "Bond Jamesbond".
96*** Dr. Christmas Jones introduces herself this way.
97** In ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006'', it's the very last line of the movie, signifying the completion of the Creator/DanielCraig Bond's transformation into the Bond we are familiar with.
98** As a form of {{Bookends}} to ''Casino Royale'', ''Film/NoTimeToDie'' also ends with the line.
99--->[[spoiler:'''Dr. Madeleine Swann:''' ''[to her and the [[TheHeroDies now-deceased]] Bond's daughter Mathilde]'']] [[spoiler:I'm going to tell you a story. It's about a man. His name was Bond. James Bond.]]
100** PlayedForLaughs earlier in the film when Bond (after having been retired for several years) returns to SIS headquarters and introduces himself at the [=MI6=] front desk with just his last name, then irritably gives his full name when it gets no recognition.
101** Played with in ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly''. When a fellow agent introduces himself by last name only, Bond replies with, "Bond, James," prompting the other agent to give his own first name.
102* ''Film/JohnCarter'': When sending a telegram at the beginning of the film, the title character tells the telegraph operator that the name of sender is "Carter. John Carter."
103* In the beginning of ''Film/LadyInTheLake'', Phillip Marlowe introduces himself this way.
104* ''Film/TheMatrix'': Smith, Agent Smith. Considering that the names of other programs in the Matrix correspond to their functionality (Trainman, Keymaker, The Oracle etc.), Agent apparently '''is''' the first name. However, he drops it in the sequels when he goes rogue and goes by just "Smith".
105* In ''Film/MegaMonsterBattleUltraGalaxyLegends'', this is how Franchise/UltramanZero introduces himself in his debut.
106-->'''Zero:''' Zero, Ultraman Zero, son of Series/{{Ultraseven}}!
107* ''Film/RedHeat'': "I'm looking for Rosta, Viktor Rosta!"
108* In ''Film/TheRussiansAreComingTheRussiansAreComing'', Walt Whitaker's attempt to introduce himself to Lt. Rozanov gets cut off, so for the rest of the movie, Rozanov calls him "Whitaker Walt".
109* ''Film/{{Scanners}}'': "REVOK! DARRYL! REVOK!"
110* ''Film/SunsetBoulevard'': After Mr. Sheldrake calls her "Miss Kramer": "The name's Schaefer. Betty Schaefer. Right now I wish I could crawl in a hole and pull it in after me."
111* ''Film/SweeneyToddTheDemonBarberOfFleetStreet'': "It's Todd now. Sweeney Todd."
112* ''Film/TheTerminator'': "His name is Connor, John Connor. Your son, Sarah."
113* ''Film/TheTestamentOfDrMabuse'' has: "Gestatten Sie, dass ich mich vorstelle: Ich heiße Mabuse, [[HerrDoktor Doktor Mabuse]]." ("Allow me to introduce myself: My name is Mabuse, Doctor Mabuse.")
114* Rose in ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'', when she gives her name as Rose Dawson upon arriving at New York -- "Dawson. Rose Dawson."
115* From the first ''Film/{{Wishmaster}}'':
116--> '''Ariella:''' Now will this be cash or charge, Mr.--?\
117'''The Djinn:''' Demarest. Nathaniel Demarest. Call me Nathaniel.
118* ''Film/WildWildWest'': "West. Jim West."
119* In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Charles introduces himself to Amy in this manner.
120-->'''Charles:''' The name's Xavier, Charles Xavier, how do you do?
121* ''Film/XXx'': "Gibbons. Augustus Gibbons."
122[[/folder]]
123
124[[folder:Literature, Written Literature]]
125* Lampshaded in one of the novels about noir-ish Swedish secret agent Carl Hamilton:
126-->Carl [[IAlwaysWantedToSayThat could not resist the temptation]]. "My name is Hamilton, Carl Hamilton", he said.
127* [[OncePerEpisode Every single volume]] in the ''Literature/GeronimoStilton'' series starts off with Geronimo introducing himself to the readers as "Stilton, Geronimo Stilton." One of the books was even titled "My Name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton."
128* ''Literature/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1''; Slartibartfast initially thinks Arthur's name is Dentarthurdent. "As in the ''late'' Dentarthurdent."
129* In ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'', this is how Draco Malfoy introduces himself:
130-->"Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle," said the pale boy carelessly, noticing where Harry was looking. "And my name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy."
131* Obviously, Literature/JamesBond himself, who does it since [[Literature/CasinoRoyale the very first book]].
132** In ''Literature/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'', Bond, while working for the villain under an assumed name, introduces himself as "Hazard. Mark Hazard." Luckily the villain [[GenreBlind doesn't pick up on it]].
133** Bond mentions "Leiter, Felix Leiter" in a phonecall in ''Literature/LiveAndLetDie'', and M. gets in on it in ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}''. It seems more like an [=MI6=] form of identification than Bond's catchphrase.
134** Bond introduces himself this way to Sluggsy in ''Literature/TheSpyWhoLovedMe''. He then says that it's "a pretty chump name".
135* Parodied in the cover text of ''Literature/TheJenniferMorgue'' -- appropriately enough, given the number of Bond shout-outs in the book:
136-->"The name is Howard. Bob Howard. Please don't hurt me..."
137* In ''Literature/{{Neverwhere}}'' Richard does this, but awkwardly, saying his first name twice and his nickname after. So Door calls him "Richard-Richard-Mayhew-Dick" at first.
138* ''Literature/WitchWorld'': Simon Tregarth introduced himself this way to the first person he met in his new world. Unfortunately, she [[IKnowYourTrueName couldn't tell him]] ''her'' name.
139[[/folder]]
140
141[[folder:TV, Live-Action TV]]
142* Parodied in the '80s ''Series/AlfredHitchcockPresents'' episode "Diamonds Aren't Forever", in which the main character, a spy with the first name James, repeatedly tries to do this trope, but whenever he or another character is about to say his last name, they're always interrupted somehow. "James" is even portrayed by former James Bond Creator/GeorgeLazenby.
143* In ''Series/TheATeam'''s Season 5 episode "The Spy Who Mugged Me", which is an AffectionateParody of ''Film/JamesBond'' films, Murdock is sent undercover as a spy named Logan Ross. Naturally, [[GenreSavvy knowing what kind of story he's in]], Murdock spends the rest of the episode introducing himself as "Ross, Logan Ross" with a very good impression of Sean Connery's voice. He also goes to the bar and orders "orange juice: shaken, not stirred."
144* The TropeNamer gets spoofed in a short clip shown in one of ''Series/BillNyeTheScienceGuy's'' chemistry episodes:
145-->'''Creator/PierceBrosnan lookalike:''' The name is Bond. ''[{{beat}}]'' Molecular Bond.
146* ''Series/{{Bones}}'':
147** When Booth and Brennan go to the UK, Booth is charmed that the gun he's issued is the same kind Bond used, and proceeds to answer the phone this way.
148** Gordon subverts this, as his name actually ''is'' Gordon Gordon Wyatt. [[MindScrew Unless he's just messing with Booth.]] When Booth is explaining this to Brennan, she responds with "Oh, like James, James Bond," and Booth has to correct her.
149* In an episode of ''Series/CharliesAngels'', Bosley introduces himself this way, only to get the "Hello Bosley Tom Bosley" response. He tried to correct it but ended up doing it again.
150* ''Series/{{Chuck}}'' did this once or twice, but usually with an alias, not his real name.
151* The opening credits of the original half-hour version of ''Series/DangerMan'' have Patrick [=McGoohan=] saying "My name is Drake. John Drake." This was ''[[OlderThanTheyThink 3 years before]]'' Sean Connery ever said "My name is Bond. James Bond."
152* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
153** When the Doctor signs on with UNIT at the end of "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E1SpearheadFromSpace Spearhead from Space]]", the Brigadier points out that he doesn't even know the Doctor's name, which the Doctor then gives as "[[MrSmith Smith, Dr. John Smith.]]" Creator/JonPertwee was both a Film/JamesBond fan and a friend of Creator/IanFleming, so it was likely a deliberate use of this trope.
154** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek Dalek]]": When asked her name, Goddard says "Goddard, sir; Diana Goddard."
155** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E8HumanNature Human Nature]]": The schoolboy who finds himself onboard the Family of Blood's spaceship introduces himself to them as "Baines. Jeremy Baines."
156** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E13TheWeddingOfRiverSong The Wedding of River Song]]", where Amy bursts into the room with a gun looking every bit like a secret agent and identifies herself as, "Pond, Amelia Pond."
157** ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'': Captain Jack Harkness replies to an introduction of "Jones, Ianto Jones" with "Nice to meet you, Jones Ianto Jones."
158** "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall Spyfall]]": The Thirteenth Doctor introduces herself thusly, while wearing a [[TuxedoAndMartini spy tuxedo]]:
159--->'''The Doctor:''' The name's Doctor. ''The'' Doctor.
160* In ''Series/{{Elseworlds|2018}}'', Kate Kane introduces herself this way when Kara asks her name.
161* ''Series/{{The Flash|2014}}'': The episode "[[Recap/TheFlash2014S6E6LicenseToElongate License to Elongate]]", being a homage to James Bond films, obviously couldn't pass this one. Funnily enough, when they introduce themselves, Ralph does it smoothly, but Barry botches it and the villain assumes his name is "Allen Barry". He doesn't get the chance to correct it until the end of the episode.
162* ''Series/FortBoyard'': That's how crazy MountainMan [[PunnyName Gary Boo]] introduces himself.
163-->'''Gary Boo:''' My name is ''Boo''... '''Gary''' Boo!
164* During a fantasy sequence on ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'', Carlton introduced himself like this while saving a young woman from a mugger.
165* Played for laughs in an episode of ''Series/FullHouse'', in which a character who had lived in the Tanner's house many years ago consistently refers to himself as "Bond, Lou Bond," even pointing out his initials scratched in an attic wall: "B., L. B." And when introducing him to the girls, Danny screws it up by saying, "This is Lou, Bond Lou. (''{{beat}}'') [[LampshadeHanging I screwed that up, didn't I?]]"
166* ''Series/GetSmart'' was a spoof of SpyFiction, in general. So naturally, the eponymous character (Maxwell Smart) would introduce himself this way whenever he met with a contact: "Smart... Maxwell Smart. CONTROL agent 86." The episode where he first meets 99's mother reveals that [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments he's even printed his name on his business card exactly the same way.]]
167* This happened on an early episode of ''Series/GreenAcres'' when Oliver was introducing himself to some of the Hooterville residents, including Uncle Joe Bradley (crossing over from ''Series/PetticoatJunction'').
168-->'''Oliver:''' Douglas. Oliver Wendell Douglas.\
169'''Uncle Joe:''' You've got enough names for two people.
170* In ''Series/{{Hawk}}'' when a doctor the titular character is interviewing asks his name, his response is "Hawk, John Hawk."
171* ''Series/KamenRiderBuild'':
172** This is how Kamen Rider Rogue introduces himself to Blood Stalk.
173--->'''Rogue:''' I am Rogue... Kamen Rider... Rogue...
174** The very same line would later be [[IronicEcho repeated]] by Sento [[spoiler:when he remembers and reveals his true identity.]]
175--->'''Sento:''' [[spoiler:The name is Katsuragi, Takumi Katsuragi.]]
176* Ace Ukiyo introduces himself to Keiwa Sakurai as "Geats. Series/KamenRiderGeats."
177* Sterling does it in the ''Series/{{Leverage}}'' episode "The Zanzibar Marketplace Job". He's playing hero in front of a bunch of news cameras, so it actually makes sense.
178* ''Series/{{Lost}}'' has this in spades. Nearly all -if not all- characters introduce themselves at least once -if not multiple times- in this fashion.
179* We get a "Bundy. Al Bundy." in the Vegas episode of ''Series/MarriedWithChildren''. Peggy counters with "Loser. Born loser."
180* In ''Series/TheMinistryOfTime'', this self-introduction is done by none other than "Columbus. UsefulNotes/ChristopherColumbus".
181* In ''Mobile'', Michael Kitchen's character introduces himself by saying "The name's West, David West". Kitchen played Bill Tanner in two ''Film/JamesBond'' films.
182* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' has "Lemming. Arthur Lemming. Special Agent, [[ItMakesSenseInContext British Dental Association]]."
183* In the first scene of the first episode of ''Series/PartyDown'', a character gives the setup: "That is quite a motto, Mr..." The response: "Donald. Ron Donald."
184* The aforementioned ''Sally Lockhart'' example, from the television adaptations of the [[Literature/SallyLockhart novels]].
185* ''Series/StargateSG1'': Daniel Jackson, needing an alias in a hurry: "Olo. [[Franchise/StarWars Hans... Olo]]."
186* The ''TNG'' double-first-name-plus-cultural-misunderstandiang variant is used in the ''Series/{{Starman}}'' series, where the returning alien accepts his son's self-introduction at face value and thereafter repeatedly calls him "Scott Scott Hayden" until they finally start working together.
187* ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'':
188** At the end of "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E11PastTensePartI Past Tense, Part I]]", when Sisko (who assumed the identity of a famous man accidentally killed trying to protect them) introduces himself to a group of hostage takers, he says "The name is Bell, Gabriel Bell".
189** The [[Film/JamesBond Bond]]-{{pastiche}} "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E10OurManBashir Our Man Bashir]]" starts with a scene where a thug is thrown through a window by an unidentified man in a white tuxedo, who proceeds to defeat another bad guy (seen in a mirror, no less) with the cork from a champagne bottle. The saved DamselInDistress prompts with a "Thank you, Mr. --" at which point the camera finally swings around to reveal that it is Dr. Bashir (in a holosuite-program) who responds with "Bashir, Julian Bashir".
190* ''Series/TetanggaMasaGitu'': In the flashback to Adi's marriage proposal to Angel, Angel's ex-boyfriend Ruly introduces himself to Adi as "Ernando. Ruly Ernando." Adi follows suit: "Putranto. Adi Putranto."
191* ''Series/ThatGirl'' led to this exchange when a visitor whose last name was John introduced himself.
192-->'''John:''' My name is John. Mark John.\
193'''Anne Marie:''' Well, you need a mark in there to separate one john from the other.
194* In ''Series/UltramanOrb'', this is how Ultraman Orb Origin introduces himself.
195-->'''Orb:''' I am Orb. Ultraman Orb.
196* Parodied on ''Series/TheWire'', when Herc is {{Pistol Pos|e}}ing in CoolShades in a gun shop:
197-->'''Carver:''' His name is Head... ''Dick'' Head...
198* The Season 2 episode of ''Series/WhiteCollar'', "Forging Bonds" features Neal repeating the phrase ''near'' verbatim when he hears of his FBI nickname: «Bonds. James Bonds,»
199[[/folder]]
200
201[[folder:Music, Recorded Music]]
202* Very early example: There exists an 1889 Edison phonograph recording of the German composer ''Music/JohannesBrahms'' where he introduces himself as "Doktor Brahms, Johannes Brahms" before playing a piece on the piano.
203* In the ''Music/{{Gorillaz}}'' biography ''Rise of the Ogre'', 2D is quoted as explaining: "I know there's a rumour going round that my real name is Stuart Tusspot, but that's not true. It's Pot. Stuart Pot." (It ''was'' originally Tusspot, but his father had it legally changed for [[UnfortunateNames obvious reasons]].)
204* The first song on Music/TheMarsVolta's album ''Frances the Mute'' (second if you count the title track, which was intended to lead off the album but had to be left off due to ExecutiveMeddling) is entitled "Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus".
205[[/folder]]
206
207[[folder:Videos, Music Videos]]
208* In the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFlFq-b-oxo music video]] for Music/DuranDuran's song "A View to a Kill" (from [[Film/AViewToAKill the Bond movie of the same name]]), Duran Duran member Simon Le Bon introduces himself as "Bon. Simon Le Bon."
209[[/folder]]
210
211[[folder:Shows, Puppet Shows]]
212* In ''Series/TheBookOfPooh'', there is a story where Tigger dresses up as the hero from his favorite detective novels. "The name's [=McSnarl=]. Stripey [=McSnarl=]."
213* On the appropriate episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', Lena Horne introduced herself to Fozzie as "Day. Doris Day."
214[[/folder]]
215
216[[folder:Shows, Radio Shows]]
217* ''Radio/AdventuresInOdyssey'': In the episode "The Case of the Candid Camera", Rodney Rathbone introduces himself to Harlow Doyle as "Rathbone. Rodney Rathbone." This causes Harlow Doyle to think that "Rathbone" is both Rodney's first name and surname, and he says that must be convenient. Rodney then corrects him.
218* ''Radio/TheGoonShow'': "My name is Horn. Trader Horn. Born in Houndsditch. [[SubvertedTrope How do you like that for a name, eh? Horn-Trader-Horn-Born-in-Houndsditch.]] [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} My father must have been mad.]]"
219* ''[[Radio/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy1978 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy]]'': Arthur introduces himself to the alien Slartibartfast as "Dent... Arthur Dent", which leads to Slartibartfast thinking that Arthur's name is Dentarthurdent.
220[[/folder]]
221
222[[folder:Theatre, Stage Theatre]]
223* ''Theatre/MarginForError'':
224-->'''Consul:''' ''[furious]'' Officer Fogelstein!\
225'''Moe:''' Finkelstein -- Moe Finkelstein.
226[[/folder]]
227
228[[folder:Games, Video Games]]
229* Kei Nagase in one of the missions of ''VideoGame/AceCombat5TheUnsungWar'' introduces herself to the Major "Nagase. Kei Nagase".
230* In ''[[VideoGame/BackyardSports Backyard Baseball 2001]]'', Barry Bonds introduces himself as "Bonds, Barry Bonds."
231* In the intro to ''VideoGame/BrainDead13'', Dr. Nero Neurosis introduces himself to Lance in this manner after getting his computer fixed.
232* In ''VideoGame/TheCurseOfMonkeyIsland'', Guybrush can introduce himself to King André this way, either under his own name or other aliases; but no matter which other aliases he chooses, André will know Guybrush's name anyway by calling him "Mister Threepwood".
233* In ''VideoGame/LiveALive'' there is an [[InvertedTrope inverted]] example, where it's "(first name), (last name) (first name)", at the end of Oboromaru's chapter. The Prisoner introduces himself as [[spoiler: "Ryoma, [[HistoricalDomainCharacter Sakamoto Ryoma.]]"]]
234* ''VideoGame/MassEffect1'':
