The District 10 3rd Quarter Quell victor-tributes (a woman who can't feel pain and has been PlayingBothSides in a somewhat sympathetic way and a man who lives a feral existence and avoids other people out of fear he will kill them) are among the only unnamed victors in the story.

* ''FanFic/ASmallCrime'':
** Kit and Siv's last name are never mentioned.
** And earlier, Siv is only named as the Stranger.
* The squadron medical officer in ''FanFic/WingsToFly'' is introduced to the reader as "Larishminova", with the acknowledgement that this is the best a different character can do to pronounce their name and it's not a correct pronunciation ''or'' what's on their nametag. They're never referred to in-story by name, and never referred to in narration by anything but the mispronunciation.

** Likewise, for awhile in the ''Fanfic/Gensokyo20XX'', Reimu's birthmother was never reffered to as having a name, aside from "Mikosan", "Reimu's Mother" , or, by Yukari, "the slattern". Of course, this was probably because no other Youkai, besides Yukari, knew or remembered her name. It wasn't until a certain story in the series, was she given a name, revealing it to be "Reiko". In that vein, Ren, before he was named, wasn't typically called anything besides "Ran's fiance" or "Winston", until about chapter 17 of 20XXIV. We also have his ex-sister in law who is called "Baka's Bitch Wife", "Bitch Wife", or "Paintbrush Bitch" and WordOfGod did state her reasons for not giving her a name, as "we wouldn't like her anyway"

** In "The Best Episode Ever", Applejack realizes that her character in the play doesn't have a name, and she breaks character to ask if it's important.
** In "Derp and Destruction", Derpy Hooves mentions a few times that she doesn't know if Derpy Hooves is actually her own name or not. (This is almost certainly a reference to how, in ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'', Derpy's name was mentioned in one episode, then edited out of all subsequent broadcasts. And she commonly makes appearances in various EU material and merchandise, which all go to strange lengths to avoid officially naming her.)
* ''Webcomic/DatingATeamMagmaGrunt'' has a main female protagonist who is simply known as the Magma Grunt. The author actually goes out of his way to hide her identity (including her age) when there are scenes it would be revealed.

** In "The Best Episode Ever", Applejack realizes that her character in the play doesn't have a name, and she breaks character to ask if it's important.
** In "Derp and Destruction", Derpy Hooves mentions a few times that she doesn't know if Derpy Hooves is actually her own name or not. (This is almost certainly a reference to how, in ''My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic'', Derpy's name was mentioned in one episode, then edited out of all subsequent broadcasts. And she commonly makes appearances in various EU material and merchandise, which all go to strange lengths to avoid officially naming her.)
* ''Webcomic/DatingATeamMagmaGrunt'' has a main female protagonist who is simply known as the Magma Grunt. The author actually goes out of his way to hide her identity (including her age) when there are scenes it would be revealed.
* ''FanFic/TheDragonAndTheSongstress'': The rainbow colored dragon that assists Kamui and the sorcerer that cursed Aqua are not given names. Azura only gives them descriptors to identify them.
* Eventually {{Subverted}} in ''Webcomic/DisneyHighSchool''--"the Beast" is not named until the 49th strip, because he has no name in canon (see below). The creator eventually gave in to {{Fanon}} and called him "Adam," though.
* The rest of Button Mash's family in ''WebAnimation/ButtonsAdventures'', especially his mother who is actually a character as opposed to just being mentioned. It wasn't before [[FanConvention GalaCon 2018]], a good four years after the premiere, that her name was revealed to be Cream Heart. For many [[FanCommunityNickname Bronies]], however, [[EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep she'll always be]] [[StacysMom Button's Mom]].
* the protagonists' names in ''Fanfic/{{Scoop}}'', ''Fanfic/DireStraits'', and ''Fanfic/MarqueAndReprisal'' are not revealed in-text.
