Line 82:
* In ''[[The Twenty-One Balloons]]'' by William Pène du Bois, the island of Krakatoa is settled by twenty families, who take on the letters A through T as names (e.g., the man who founded the island is only known as Mr. M, his wife is Mrs. M, and their children are M-1 and M-2). When the protagonist is stranded there, he asks if they would like to start referring to him as Mr. U; they decline, as it would lead to pronoun confusion. No mention is made of how they manage to non-confusingly talk about the I family, though at least I is only a pronoun in the subjective case.
* Members of the Audubon Ballroom in the ''[[Honorverse]]'' use X as a surname, though most have a different legal name.
* O from ''[[The Story of O (novel)|The Story of O]]''.
