Malicious Misnaming in Fan Works.
Crossovers
- In Almost Psycho Chuck Chicken, Chuck calls Buford "Dooford".
- In the now-deleted The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan/Winx Club crossover Bluecoat Family, Stanley would constantly call Lord Darkar "Dorkar" to piss him off. It worked like a charm.
- When Calvin & Hobbes: The Series crosses over with Batman, Calvin calls Alfred "Horus". Whether it was intentional or not is unknown.
- Code Prime: In R2, Megatron calls Elita-One by her old name Ariel, which Lelouch notes at how petty it is, as Megatron does this specifically to rile her up.
- Development: Beetlejuice routinely gets Wednesday's name wrong just to rile her up (a fact Wednesday picked up on), usually a different day of the week.
- The Doctor in Doctor Whooves – The Series seems to have moved from his regeneration trauma induced tendency for Accidental Misnaming into deliberately doing this to take Twilight and Scootaloo's minds off danger.
- In Harry and the Shipgirls Original Character Mei Cao of Slytherin earned the nickname "Mad Cow" due to her extremely nasty attitude. Taken to its logical conclusion when, for the sake of a Pun, Harry Potter had lawn gnomes of everyone at Hogwarts put in their respective dorm rooms overnight after the Yule Ball: Mei Cao got a Mad Cow Disease gnome.
- An Impractical Guide to Godhood: Like Dionysius, Perseus enjoys calling people by the right initials but the wrong name as a way of showing either disdain or vitriolic affection. He even greets Dionysus as "Douglas" after being called "Peter Johnson."Purseus: Name?
Drew: I am Drew Tanaka, and I am not going to participate in your stupid quest.
Perseus: Thank you for volunteering, Debbie.
Drew: I am not Debbie!
Perseus: Thank you for volunteering, Dorothy. - Inferior or Superior: While they're introducing themselves, Anna comments that Soundwave's name is weird. He responds by deliberately calling her "Annie" to rile her up.
- The Mountain and the Wolf:
- When they meet, the Wolf thinks Ramsay still goes by Snow, not knowing Ramsay was legitimized as a Bolton by his father. After that he keeps calling him Snow to piss him off (or other names like Snolton or Snotling).
- Something of a standard tactic is to use insulting names for his victims, like referring to the Mountain as "Molehill".
- RWBY: Epic of Remnant: In a flashback, Gudako mocked Ritsuka by calling him "Ritsuckass".
- In Turnabout Storm, Trixie gets a habit for doing this. Amongst her repertoire she has Twilight Screw-Up and Twilight Snarkle for Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Trash for Rainbow Dash and Phoenix Wrong for Phoenix Wright. Gilda also gets a shot with Lamebow Dash.
- In Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse, the Nerimans don't initially understand the importance of having a Jolly Roger and crew name. Viewing their refusal to fly their colors as a sign of cowardice, the Marines list them as the "Dirty Coward Pirates". Nobody on the crew is happy about this.
- At the start of the Sky-Sea Saga, Ranma refers to Baron-turned-Commodore Arashi Sukumvit, the first person on the Grand Line to dish out a Curb-Stomp Battle to Ranma, as "Commodore Circlejerk".
- In Where Talent Goes on Vacation, after the second trial, when Monokuma executes Taiga Tachibana instead of the true culprit, her twin sister Tatsuki, he calls the living person by the dead one's name.
- In The Ghost of Ochs, Monica's Arch-Enemy Kronya refers to her as "Moronica" when bug-themed insults aren't good enough.
- The New Retcons: John constantly referred to his coworker and fellow dentist Everett as 'Elliot', ignoring every time he corrected him. This only stopped when Everett published a full-page ad in the paper declaring "MY NAME IS EVERETT, YOU IDIOT!"
- Due to recurring failures in his inventions and the messes they made, Hiccup in Bound has been given the demeaning title of "Hiccup the Useless." This stings especially since the village took the time to give him this title despite such things usually being saved till adulthood.
- In Of Dumb Dumbs and Pussycats, Alexandra says "Good morning, Alvin, or whatever your name is" to Alan to show that she's still angry at him.
- In Crack Fic Martha Reeks, Mariella calls Helen "Hellspawn".
- Burning Bridges, Building Confidence: After dealing with Chat Noir's selfish and entitled behavior, Vexxin nicknames him "Shit Noir" to emphasize how he's nothing more than The Load.
- The Cosmos, Lila makes a point of repeatedly messing up the group's names and their individual titles in order to emphasize how little she cares about or respects the group.
- Feralnette AU: Gabriel makes a point of addressing Amelie as 'Miss Culpa', ignoring the fact that she's still married to her late husband. While correcting him, she notes his blatant hypocrisy:Amilie: Mrs. Culpa. If being widowed automatically puts me back on the singles market, then perhaps you ought to take that ring off and put your money where your mouth is, Gabriel.
- Chat Noir constantly refers to his partner-in-name-only Scarlet Lady as 'Scar', referring to the pain and suffering she's caused him by being such a poor excuse for a super-heroine.
- Two Letters: One sign of how much Marinette has changed due to her resentment is that she refers to several of Hawkmoth's past victims using the names of their akumatized forms. Juleka realized how much Marinette disliked her after overhearing her muttering "Time to see what Reflekta wants now," and worries that means she did something horrible to her that she can't recall, unaware that Marinette used to be Ladybug before she retired.
- The Emancipators: Despite no longer considering Bakugou to be his friend, Izuku makes a point to continue addressing him as 'Kacchan', purely because he knows how much that pisses him off.
- Bakugou, the protagonist of Nemesis, continuously refers to Izuku as 'Deku' throughout, in spite of him having become the dangerous villain Mischief.
- Naru-Hina Chronicles: There are several instances where Karin calls Sakura "Pinky", much to the latter's annoyance.
- sunflower: Kakashi does this several times:
- When introducing the seemingly mute Nezumi, he misidentifies his mask as being a hamster rather than a mouse, on top of making several other needlessly cruel remarks. He flips back and forth between addressing him as his actual code name and continuing to call him 'Hamster'.
- He prefers to call the posturing and egotistical Yamakujiri 'Inoshishi', a much simpler way of referring to his wild boar mask.
- Kakashi also applies this to Naruto, preferring to think of them as the Kyuubi as a spiteful way of distancing himself from the fact that Naruto is also his late mentor's son.
- Persona: The Sougawa Files: One of the main villains, Yuudai Honda, constantly calls the Freedom Fighters different names via replacing the first word. So far, he's referred to them as the Fire Fighters, the Beetle Fighters, and the Failure Fighters.
- Send Your Original Characters fanfic Pokemon Take Two gives us Ry, who doesn't just call his sister, Raion, Ryhorn, but also calls Akari and Rein A-ri and Rei just to piss her off.
- In Hatch Ya Later Ryouta calls Nagisa "Naggy-sa", she calls him "Ryouturd" in return.
- In PreCure in a Nutshell, Riku (Sora) calls Baconbutt (Kabaton) "Baconnut" on purpose, and acknowledges such when he corrects her.
- In Let Me Warm Your Heart, Super Macho Man calls Narcis Prince "Nimrod Prince".
- In The Horsewomen Of Las Vegas
, Becky Lynch is fond of addressing Charlotte Flair as "Charlie" or "Char-Char", as she loves annoying her.
- Duncan McSmurf in Empath: The Luckiest Smurf is an obvious Adaptation Name Change version of Gutsy from The Smurfs film series who does not like to be called Gutsy, particularly from Hefty who just simply doesn't like Duncan.
- According to the author, this is used as a Take That! toward the character Gutsy being used in The Smurfs movie to steal the spotlight from Hefty.
- Most of the time with Hefty, it's more of an Insult of Endearment, as he rarely calls Duncan by his true name.
- In "A Wild Winter Solstice", though, Papa Smurf accidentally calls Duncan Gutsy before realizing his mistake.
- In Wilhuff Tarkin, Hero of the Rebellion, Grievous would routinely misgender his predecessor Sev'rance Tann to show that he doesn't consider her a real soldier for her obsession with superweapons and not doing her job properly.
- In O Mother, Where Art Thou?, Diesel 10 constantly gets Emily's name wrong, calling her things like "Esmeralda" or "Ermintrude". The Grumpy Passenger does the same thing in The Brother's Grimm.
- Many fancomics have Mokou deliberately call Kaguya "Teruyo" (an Alternate Character Reading of her first name) to annoy her. After all, when you're both immortal you need some way of dealing damage to your opponent's psyche.
- Yoroi Chikara in Freakin Gensokyo is referred to as Yo-yo Chikorita and Yaoi Chalk at one point.
