** PlayedForLaughs in ''[[HighschoolAU Sunrider Academy]]'', where StudentCouncilPresident candidates Kayto Shields and Fontana shout each other’s names after [[PrettyBoy Fontana]] deploys his “[[ShirtlessScene secret]] [[BishieSparkle weapon]]” during the final campaign speech, causing Kayto’s sister [[LovableSexManiac Maray]] to pass out from a {{nosebleed}}.

“FONTANAAA!”

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing'': Simba returns to the Pride Lands in time to hear Scar loudly calling for Sarabi, Simba's mother, to berate her for the lionesses' apparent failure at hunting for food.

* In the ''[[LetsPlay/TwoSaiyansPlay Renegade for Life]]'' LetsPlay of the ''VideoGame/Deadpool2013'' video game, he's...less than thrilled about his special guest.

%%* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'': WASHINGTON!

Compare FirstNameBasis, FirstNameUltimatum, LoudLastName, YouExclamation, YouSquared, SkywardScream. If you have a lot of people, all doing a "Say My Name" to each other, it's a RockyRollCall.

* The ''Play Safe'' PSA involved one particular PSA called “Frisbee”, in which a girl named Amy gets her brother Jimmy to get a frisbee from a sub-station, resulting in him getting electrocuted as Amy screams “JIMMYYYYYYYY!!!” Then, as the PSA (via radio news reporter) warns that children should never retrieve toys from sub-stations by themselves, the explosion and Amy’s cry of Jimmy’s name repeats, as the screen either fades to black or, in the 10 minute film, cuts back to the young robin feeling bad for the boy.

* ''ComicBook/IncredibleHulk'':
** In one story the title character's alter ego Bruce Banner makes this comment to a screaming Doctor Doom right after helping to take him down.

->"'''[[AC:Wiki/{{TV Tro|pes}}ooooooooooopes!!!!!]]'''"

* Twice in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW'', a female character has shrieked another's name.

** In the "Chao Races and Badnik Bases" story arc, Rouge the Bat and Amy Rose recruit Cream the Rabbit and her Chao, Cheese, for TheCaper. Cream's mother, Vanilla, approves of her going on a "trip", but ''not'' the dangerous adventure said trip ultimately turns into. When Vanilla learns the truth at the end of the same arc, Rouge bails on the other girls, leaving Amy to scream her name in fury.

Additionally, if your show features LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters this also serves a narrative purpose: When they appear again after not being seen for three arcs, clearly stating their name once more helps the viewer identify and remember them.

%% * ''ComicBook/XMen'' are prone to this a lot, given the LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters.

* [[SayMyName/WesternAnimation WESTERN ANIMATIOOON!]]

* Music/DestinysChild's "Say My Name" (natch) Invokes the trope as a challenge to the unnamed boyfriend of the singer whom she suspects is [[YourCheatingHeart two-timing her with another girl]] and wants him to say her name to prove he's serious about their relationship rather than him continuing to try to dodge around her.

Many instances of this trope in Japanese works may also fall under FirstNameBasis. In Japanese culture, it is customary to use family names plus an honorific (usually "san", sometimes "senpai" for one's elders, "kun" for underlings, "dono" or "sama" for works set in older times, etc.) when addressing someone else, even directly (they rarely use the pronoun for "you" in formal settings, although they do have a few for informal situations). Children, especially girls, will often use first names with friends, although adults will usually only do this if they've been friends since childhood or are otherwise [[TrueCompanions close buddies]]. But when a couple has [[RelationshipUpgrade moved ahead in their relationship]], they will often switch to using {{first name|Basis}}s as well. In media, the first time a character calls their romantic interest by their first name (whether out of affection or distress), the scene often ends up being an example of this trope.

* ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'': BAAARNEEYY! - the kids greet their (imaginary?) friend this way almost every episode. Followed by crowding around and hugging him.  One way to kick off the episode has one or more children sitting around and making Barney come to them before depressedly saying, "hello, barney", prompting the dinosaur to ask what's wrong.
