* A variant in ''Series/{{Galavant}}'', where it's a land that is conspicuously never named. While many other lands and kingdoms are named, the realm originally ruled by King Richard (who starts off as the BigBad before undergoing a HeelFaceTurn and becoming a {{Deuteragonist}} ally with main character Galavant in the second season), is never named. And the dialog and songs go ''out of their way'' to never give it or any of the landmarks in it a name either, engaging in workarounds like calling it "Richard's land" and such.

* In the black-and-white era series (lathough all filmed in colour and released colour on DVD) ''Series/HaveGunWillTravel'', the main character is only ever known as Paladin. Some have thought that a Sheriff called him as 'Bobby' but he was actually addressing another character.

* ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'': GOB's wife is never given a name, to reflect the fact that GOB doesn't know it. She's listed as "Bride of GOB" in the credits and "Wife of GOB" in other material. GOB makes several guesses to it, including "Krindy", "Amy" (Amy Poehler, Will Arnett's wife, plays the role), and "Saul" (actually her divorce lawyer). Michael knows what it is, but the opportunity never arises for him to use it.
