* ''Manga/{{Gintama}}'': Katsura is an outlaw who must constantly evade authorities, but his alias skills are atrocious. His aliases are always modifications of his last name ("Katsuo", "Katsu-ura", etc), which will be rendered pointless by his continued insistence that people say his real name correctly.

During work on the band's next album ''Music/CrimeOfTheCentury'', he overstayed his UK visa. In an attempt to hide this from UK authorities, he was credited on that album as "Bob C. Benberg". The band's next three albums continued to credit him as such, even though the last two (''Even in the Quietest Moments...'' and ''Music/BreakfastInAmerica'') were recorded after the band had relocated to Los Angeles. It wasn't until ''...Famous Last Words...'' in 1982—ironically, the last album featuring the band's classic lineup—that he was credited under his real name.

After Ford got sucked into the portal, his brother decided to take his identity to cover up his disappearance until he could bring his brother back. Thus, officially, he's known by the name Stanford Pines for the next thirty years. To most people though, he's still known as Stan Pines. Considering how his first name is Stan''ley'', this trope applies. It's only after the series finale that he starts legally going by Stanley again (although most people still call him Stan).]]
