The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope?

Their name is an Overly Long Name.
If they insist that other people use their full name, it's Insistent Terminology.
If someone uses other people's full names by preference and without being pressured, it's Full-Name Basis.

Insistent Terminology, possibly They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! crossed over with Overly Long Name.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Do we have a trope where someone has a long nickname, or a jokishly long nickname where the characters only refer to the character by that long name instead of their real one?
Example: In the Boondocks, there is a pimp named slickback. And you say the whole thing like this: A Pimp Named Slickback. (Say it with me NOW!
)
In Sky High, there is a bus driver who goes by the name of Ron Wilson. And he's Ron Wilson, Bus Driver.
