This article presents a systematic literature review focused on investigating studies on people's unofficial names. Based on the application of a search protocol in the theses and dissertations tab of the Onomastic Observatory (O-ONOMA), four relevant works were extracted: Castro (2013), which explores the meanings and functions of nicknames when recalling official names, highlighting the cultural richness and layers of social meanings associated with unofficial names; Cruz (2023), which addresses the variation of nicknames among Brazilian soccer players over the years, highlighting anthroponymic changes influenced by the sports market; Camargo (2022), which analyzes the impact of the ballot box names of council candidates in the Paraná cities of Cascavel and Ponta Grossa, demonstrating how these names can influence electoral decisions; and Rech (2022), which investigates sign names in the Brazilian Sign Language (Libras), revealing metonymic characteristics and deep cultural meanings of these names. The analysis of these studies reveals that research into unofficial names is vast, covering sociological, political and cultural aspects. The results indicate that, despite the diversity of existing studies, there is still a significant gap in research dedicated to these names compared to other anthroponomy studies. Evidencing and analyzing these works is crucial to capture both general patterns and cultural and social nuances of unofficial names. The continuation and expansion of this research is essential for a comprehensive understanding of this multifaceted phenomenon, highlighting the need for further investigations in this area of study. Deeper exploration of the themes associated with unofficial names can contribute to understanding the social and cultural dynamics in which these names are embedded
