The Wizard of Oz
You won't find this in the movie, but the Wizard has a big reveal in L. Frank Baum's 1908 book Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz: "My father, who was a politician, named me Oscar Zoroaster Phadrig Isaac Norman Henkle Emmannuel Ambroise Diggs. … When I grew up I just called myself O. Z., because the other initials were P-I-N-H-E-A-D; and that spelled 'pinhead,' which was a reflection on my intelligence."
