Line 454:
* ''[[The Force Unleashed]]'' has it's protagonist referred to only as "Starkiller", his code-name. This is a plot point in the novelization, as not even Starkiller himself knows his real name until late in the story, where it is revealed as {{spoiler|Galen Marek}}.
* [[Tex Murphy]], given his nickname as a kid due to the shape of a hole he left in the ceiling after being ejected off a malfunctioning hobby horse. We never do find out his real first name.
* In ''[[Dragon Age]]'', apparently neither Isabela nor Anders are known by their real name. [[Word of God]] states that Anders is apparently called that because he is [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/304/index/6511895/3 from the Anderfels]{{Dead link}}, while Isabela's real name, and the reason she goes by "Isabela", is simply [http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/141/index/5118004%26lf%3D8/1#5120696 unknown]. Fenris from ''[[Dragon Age II]]'' is only known by a nickname for the bulk of the game; his real name ({{spoiler|Leto}}) is revealed in his personal quest in Act 3, and he subsequently orders everyone not to call him that, because "Fenris" is the only life he can remember.
* [[Mass Effect 2]] has the head of Cerberus, an elusive and secretive figure only known as "The Illusive Man".
** The tie-in comic series ''Mass Effect: Evolution'' reveals that his name is {{spoiler|Jack Harper}}.
Line 640:
* Genghis Khans given name was Temujin Borjigin.
* [[Banksy]]
* [http://theferrett.livejournal.com/306843.html The Ferrett]{{Dead link}} ([[My Nayme Is|note spelling]]), a writer who is currently is best known for [https://web.archive.org/web/20130812074550/http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Archive.aspx?author=The%20Ferrett his] [[Magic: The Gathering]] [http://www.starcitygames.com/php/news/archive.php?Article=The%20Ferrett articles] and for having been an editor of the popular Magic strategy site [[Star City Games]].com, does indeed go by "Ferrett" in real life.
* Mistress Matisse. "[http://pervocracy.blogspot.com/2010/01/search-term-saf-sightseeing-journey.html Her real name--as in the name that she really uses with all her kink, prodom, and kink-writing activities--is really Mistress Matisse. The only reason to want her legal name is because you're a creep.]"
* Tre Cool (Frank Edwin Wright III) and Mike Dirnt (Michael Pritchard) of [[Green Day]]. Averted by Billie Joe Armstrong, whose name really ''is'' Billie Joe.
