7	* [[spoiler:The little girl who became the gun]] of ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'' has lost her name. It is later found: [[spoiler: Margaret]].
8	* In the ''VideoGame/ColourMySeries'', neither the protagonist nor his love are given names.
9	* In ''Literature/DayOfTheChoosing'', none of the characters have names. Even the BigBad's name, "All the Rest," was created on the fly by the protagonist.
10	* None of the characters of Blog/{{Fanpro}} have official names. Naming them seems to be optional in fan works, and they are generally just distinguished by their numbers.
11	* ''Literature/FindingHope'', as an homage to classic Spaghetti Westerns, gives us "Nobody" and "Jack Angel", both of which are aliases. In Nobody's case, he gave himself that name as a way to represent his status in society.
12	* {{Parodied\|Trope}} by ''Blog/HowToWriteBadlyWell'' in the aptly titled "[[http://writebadlywell.blogspot.com/2011/02/refuse-to-give-names-to-characters.html Refuse to give names to characters]]."
13	* ''WebVideo/KateModern'':
14	** Kate revealed in the fourth episode that her name wasn't really Kate. Her real first name, Genevieve, wasn't revealed until Episode 88, "Birthday Surprise", while her surname, Strathcarron, wasn't revealed until Episode 163, "Prime Suspect".
15	** The Watcher and the Shadow, whose lack of names befit their status as anonymous Order agents.
16	* Played with in Website/{{Killerbunnies}}, as technically, any Killerbunny born, raised, or used in a lab for laboratory use don't normally have names, aside from their identification codes, which wouldn't be a name, unless it is counted as such, as would be the case with Test Subject 001892300012 ("Lucy"), Experiment [=XI0014101=] ("Marigold"), Child #999 ("Lilith"), and Subject 200167 ("Mango"). However, this, according to WordOfGod, is subverted in the case of Michealenne, as that is the name on one of her [=ID=] tags.
17	* In "WebVideo/TheLastDaysOfDrWily", Dr. Wily's project manager and the construction union representative aren't addressed by name, though his robot designer is named Greg.
18	* ''WebVideo/ManateeGirlTheMovie'' has Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend...who is known only as Hunky Marine Biologist Boyfriend.
19	* An anonymous member of [[BigBad Danya's]] terrorist organization is never referred to by name by his colleagues. On the board, he's commonly called 'The Mystery Man'.
20	* [[StalkerWithACrush Hyper Fangirl]] from WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic. Her VillainProtagonist vlogs don't even help, as she calls herself Hyper.
21	* ''WebVideo/{{Petscop}}'': This applies to both the uploader of the videos and the game's protagonist. There is no clear name given to either of them. At the beginning of the first video, the uploader names his save file "Paul", but it is unclear whether it is his own name or the name he wants to give to the protagonist. For the protagonist, in video 5, the strange artifact known as "TOOL" answers the question "Who am I?" with "Newmaker". This answer is vague, as TOOL is not clear ''who'' is named "Newmaker". Despite this, fans have just taken to referring to both the uploader of the videos and game protagonist as "Paul". In order to differentiate between the uploader of the videos and the game protagonist, a popular solution is to refer to the video uploader as "Paul" and the game protagonist as "Naul", a combination of "Newmaker" and "Paul".
22	* The title character of ''WebVideo/PittsburghDad'' hasn't been given a name, though his wife (Deb) and next-door neighbor (Tom) have.
23	* ''WebVideo/StacheBros'': The former tyrannical king of the Mushroom Kingdom, the main antagonist of the Halloween special "The Curse of Toadsworth Mansion", is never referred to by name, with everyone calling him "the King".
24	* In the ''WebVideo/SuperMarioLogan'' series, a recurring character with [[NewJobAsThePlotDemands many different jobs]] and [[UsefulNotes/AmericanAccents a thick Brooklyn accent]] is referred to as "The Brooklyn Guy". In "Bowser Junior Loses [[WesternAnimation/ThomasAndFriends Thomas]]", he works as a Toys R Us employee. When Chef Pee Pee asks him where his name tag is, he states that he doesn't have a name tag because he doesn't have a name.
25	* In ''Literature/TalesOfMU'', the ruler of the old empire is always referred to as The Unnameable One. One of Mackenzie's professors also has never been named in canon, but that's more of a subtle RunningGag.
26	** [=MUniverse=] tradition has it that the sound denoted by "kh" is reserved for the names of the gods, and that it is blasphemy for anyone who is not a god to have it in their name. As an immortal [[spoiler:vampire]], the Unnameable One is old enough to predate this tradition, and is named [[spoiler:Khulrakh]].It is blasphemy to call him by his name, and an insult to a sitting emperor to call him anything but his name. Thus, he is Unnameable.
27	** Additionally, there's The Man/[[spoiler:Mack's Father]].
28	* ''Podcast/WelcomeToNightVale'': Some characters, such as The Man In The Tan Jacket, The Traveler, and [[ParanoiaFuel The Faceless Old Woman Who Lives In Your House]], don't have names at all, and all the angels are simply referred to as "Erika."
