As its supertrope, EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep trope says, some characters have the misfortune of being known only by their job title. This trope is about those rare times where EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep because "Barkeep" is the guy's ''actual name''. This may happen as a result of WhoNamesTheirKidDude. Alternatively, maybe the guy had his name legally changed to "Barkeep" because he likes that name better than his given name.

* Many French people were shocked to find that UsefulNotes/CharlesDeGaulle really ''was'' named that. They'd assumed it was a ''nom de guerre'', taken from Gaul, the historical name of France. As it were, his full name essentially means Charles (as in the revered ancient French ruler Charlemange..) [[IAmTheNoun The France]]. Actually, his name is likely of Dutch origin, being "Van de Walle" francized.

* ''VideoGame/Shipwrecked64: Chief Wulf, the chief of the wolves, is actually named "Chief". It's an easy mistake to make, because he's nearly always referred to on a LastNameBasis; his close friend Stumbler had to confirm that was his name and not just his title through the FourthWallMailSlot.
