Examples:
- Carnage's real name is Cletus Kasady.
- The Authority: Seth Angus Bubba Joe Billy Cletus Clement Callum Cowie. His mother named him after all of her brothers, because she wanted to be sure to name him after his father.
- Empowered has Willy Pete. He's Ax-Crazy, rapey, and on fire, the last of which makes more sense when you find out his name is also a nickname for white phosphorous.
- Billy Bob and T.C. from Preacher. The former is a kid so inbred he has only one eye, and the latter is a murderous Jerkass who'll screw just about anything.
- In Daredevil and Jessica Jones, the Purple Man's real name is Zebediah Killgrave, even though he was born in Croatia. The 2015 Netflix series averts this — he only goes by "Kilgrave" (with only one L), which doesn't give off a redneck vibe on its own, and his real name is Kevin Thompson.
- Pulp Fiction: Zed and Maynard are repulsive redneck rapists, with names to match.
- Budd and Buck from Kill Bill

- Billy-Ray Sanguine from Skulduggery Pleasant, a sociopathic hitman who carries a special straight razor with which to cut his victims' throats.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer 's season 6 Big Bad is named Warren Mears, which kind of foreshadows his future mental instability. (Of course, ironically, the actor's a Jew from New York, although his chick's from Alabama, but she's definitely not a redneck. And she's the one he shot.)
- On The Shield, Shane Vendrell is not a nice person. Further, he uses the alias "Cletus van Damme".
- Luther-Dwayne Grady from SSX Tricky. He's a gigantic and rude guy whose play style revolves around using his massive size to his advantage.
