Fan Casting Only Known by Their Nickname

Role added by connieblackwood on March 11, 2023

Make Suggestion

Description of Only Known by Their Nickname:

This is a character who is primarily, or even only, known by their In-Series Nickname. Related to Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep", but that is about people being referred to exclusively by their jobs or what they're best known for doing. Also related to Stage Names. Does not include Fan Nicknames, secret identities or explicit pseudonyms. Also doesn't include people who give themselves new names following an act of self-reinvention, and stop responding to their old name (e.g. Voldemort). Exceptionally badass examples of this trope fall into the Red Baron. Obvious and common contractions, e.g. someone named William introducing themselves as Bill, don't really count either.
