Mistaken For Name
Comedy arises out of a character mistaking a word or phrase for someone's name, usually during their introduction. For example, Alice asks Bob about his name, and in response, Bob hesitates and uses a filler word like "uhm" which Alice misconstrues as Bob's actual name. Or Alice makes an indirect inference about Bob's name and mistakenly associates Bob with a phrase or title and starts addressing him using this unintended moniker.
