To my friend's great chagrin, I decided her name was now "The Lexi" instead of Lexi. It stuck.

This troper and her younger sister have decided that the proper way to refer to Neil Gaiman is "The Neil."

This troper once read an online movie review of ''Dragonheart'' which repeatedly referred to SeanConnery as '''THE SEAN'''.

This troper is known as 'The Scott' in certain circles. He finds this self imposed nickname...regrettable.

This Troper's brother tends to parody his somewhat... ''unusual'' personality by (among other things) acting as though he calls himself "The Matthew".

This troper's best friend, when called a dumbass, would always respond with: #QUOTE#'''Me:''' Dumbass. #QUOTE#'''Toni:''' No, no, no, no. '''THE''' dumbass.

In this troper's english class, the class had to write our names on bricks (instead of name tags.) Someone wrote "The James" on his instead of just "James," and now that's what everyone in my english class (including the teacher) calls him.

This Troper wishes she'd had a t-shirt in high school that read "THE bitch", as many times as she was called a bitch.

I told everyone to call me "the Schilling". Istead, the is now my name. I take this trope to new levels!

{{Excel-2010}}. My generic internet handle is The-Excel, which is used when a more permanent name is encouraged. In the physical world, I misuse "the" at every opportunity as well. For example, his name isn't Azuma, it's The ''Azuma'' (italicized in writing).

This troper's old internet handle. It didn't count if you didn't include the "the".

In a story this troper is writing, the main characters have to battle The Mario; a powerful version of Mario who is capable of mixing the abilities of all of Mario's normal power-ups (This results in things like Invisible Tanooki Fire Mario and other such {{Game Breaker}}s)

This Troper lives near a man who is (nearly) always referred to as The Grape, even by his wife. This has been going on for around 30 years, apparently.

The villains of ''The Duchess of Malfi'' are Ferdinand and his brother, a Cardinal, who is never named and always referred to as "the Cardinal". My high-school English teacher ''always'' mixed them up and referred to Ferdinand as "the Ferdinand".

I spell my forum's name with a The. This is to avoid confusion with the forum who owns the domain name that I wanted.

Kind of subverted for this troper. Her username on pretty much every site she signs up for is "Zarola". When that's taken, it changes to "TheZarola" but she is still just called "Zarola".

This (Chinese) troper's surname is "Ho." Guess what happened.

One guy in my spanish class attempted this, but he screwed it up and ended up with 'Thee John [last name witheld]'.

Back in the day, my old internet handle started with "The". Interestingly enough, I wasn't the only person who went by that name (the "The" included), even though it was pretty damn unusual.

{{@/Minnakht}} is known as The Minnakht in RuneScape because the non-the version was taken and he had no better idea.
